20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50

signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but

CS, AR, and CB on what bows?

I have the normal elemental bows with the normal rends on them. But I have yet to take the time to make a CS CB or AR bow with any of the elemental. So I thought I would see what everyone else is using on what. Now i know some people use life magic and Critter too. I have them but don't really use them much. I am more concerned on just usfulness on each rend on each different type of elemental. Like AR is great on a Fie bow when you fight undead. Or maybe something like CS is super nice on a Bludge bow. and the justification as to why you think this.
Thanks!

CS/CB Lightning for Deathtail, Corrupted Dread
CS Fire (undead slayer) Wights (AR okay but I prefer CS)
CS or AR Blunt GY skels DI Viceroy Golem (I prefer CS)
AR Fire Frost Golem (or soulbound CS not as good)
AR Pierce (mukkir slayer) Mukkirs
AR/CS/CB are best used with imperiled and vulned target, typically boss types
Soulbound bow pretty much all you need in the way of AR except when you need a slayer

wow! someone replied! lol! i keep checking to see what people say but sadly no one does...sigh
AR Pierce Mukkir slayer huh? really? i was always under the impression it was blunt on mukkir? did something change?
AR Fire on a frost golems? i hit them with my lighting imbue one and was doing more damage then with fire imbue. i will see what a AR fire does though and a AR electric.
I am on the look out for a new Blunt bow to though AR or CS on, i was leaning toward CS though. I may make a CS frost or CB frost for burrun kings one day as well.

Yeah definitely pierce on Mukkir. Could be right about Frost golems though I haven't played around much in that area yet but AR def better than CS. But the soulbound is best AR type except when you need a slayer (mukkir, undead etc.)
I typically use CS in GY and AR in other places. AR doesn't work well on most GY mobs. CS or CB (blunt or lightning) pretty much required for Deathtail. CS seems a little better on Wights and for those Wisps CS drops them incredibly quick if you land an imp and vuln. Same with Dreads although soulbound great on Dreads too. For skels AR or CS seem about the same.

the AR on pierce with mukkir does work well. the CS on fire weapon with undead slayer for gy not so much. keep in mind that with all of this imp is important to get full effect for me.

you sure about this? i dont think i have an AR acid bow...guess i could try it as well. do you use it with imp? vuln? othoi acid arrows?
i can also tell you on ruschuk AR pierce seems to do great with imp and vuln. i use my ar mukkir pierce bow and it rocks them, soul bound is just a tad better though.
also on a side note CS bludge and CB bludge has a few uses mostly on quest. CS bludge on the crystal array on the crystaline adventure. CB on the bloodstone investigation for the boss number 1 is great as well as boss number 2.

my cord is 365 with 505 bow skill unless i drink a beer then its 370 508, the cord i might be off just a bit with but the bow skill i know is right on. Dot you got a bd8 acid bow! blaaa i have to find one of them. I dont think for my fire undead slayer CS bow I hit that good or with Fire Rend. So looks like I guess I ll make an AR Acid one some time soon then.

I did make an AR Acid rend that has turned out quit nice. I need to make an AR fire rend as well that I can later down the line make into and undead slayer as well.
I have really enjoyed the new prismatic arrows. the new pierce and slash arrows with the higher damage has been very nice as well. I still do not think fletching should be a 4/4 skill as it laid out right now. 4/2 is the way to go on it. Turbine really needs to change this.
