Ranger Bow Question
 

Which bow should my 52 ranger be using?

Wind Saber

13 dmg. 22 delay
5 dex, 5agi, 5wis
10 sv cold

Vs

Talisen, Bow Of the trailblazer

25 dmg 50 delay
3ac, 3str, 3sta, 3dex. 10hp
3sv magic, 10sv poison

bow of the huntsman, easy kill/pull, 28min timer. good luck

I'll choose Wind Saber for daily use,
use it with earthshaker, fleet quiver and tolans bracer hehe:D
it will make bow rot doable:cool:

What are you doing with your bow?

When I duo with my bros 60. Mostly just stand back and assist with bow. Otherwise usually just meleeing.

Mob is always up

Generally faster weapons are good for standing around and pseudo auto attacking as they scale better with arrow damage and the main hand damage bonus. Let me explain.

Bow dmg is calculated as 1/2 * weapon dmg + arrow dmg. So assuming 3 dmg tolan arrows, the weapons in this thread look like:

9/22 for Wind Saber
15/50 for Talisen
13/30 for Bow of the Huntsman

You don't get double atk but you do get main hand damage bonus (based off your melee primary—which is why you should equip Earthshaker or another slow 2h when plinking).

Thus Wind Saber is probably best, esp. if you do the Earthshaker trick or use beefier arrows, but Bow of the Huntsman has an OK dps proc and marginally better ratio, so it might be worth checking out as well.
