Weapon of Choice:
There's much debate between which weapons to use (end-game at least):
Recurve Bows vs
Auto-Bows (Longbows vs Crossbows/Guns)
I've been trying both back and forth, and a quick summary is :
Recurves (DPS and a bit of base damage) or Auto-Bows (Range and more armour)
In my opinion, a Bow Bear would use the following:
- Bosses - Recurve. You'd want to be dealing as much DPS and damage as possible, regardless of range/armour.
- Clearing mobs - Either. This is debatable and would lie on user preference. Some prefer to clear with a Recurve, some with an Auto-bow. I use an Auto-bow since I think it does enough, and prefer the armour and range.
- PvP - Auto-bow. The auto-bow is the only way you can match or outmatch a bird's range (depends if bird is on an auto-bow too). The extra range is very useful, as well as the extra armour. The DPS isn't necessarily a huge issue since most PvP kills come from skills and not normal attacks.
