Talk:Darksteel Longbow

How do we know it's upgradeable? The Spiritbinder can't be upgraded. -- Gordon Ecker 16:38, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

Nobody said it was upgradable, eh? It's a fully-modded bow. It just says that you can make one "like it" using these mods. RoseOfKali 03:26, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

Umm, nobody says it? Looks to me like the notes say it, considering they read "This longbow can be upgraded with a bowgrip". And no, it's NOT a fully modded bow, as it doesn't have a bowgrip mod. DKS01 01:29, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

And why does it say in the Spiritbinder's description that it CAN be modded? Can it? RoseOfKali 03:27, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

It said it can at the top of the article and can't at the bottom. I've cleaned up the article. -- Gordon Ecker 04:34, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

And it turns out that some can and some can't, the article should now be correct. -- Gordon Ecker 05:37, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

WOOT now thats a much better bow then Nevermore for perma pre-searers. Rcollins779x 02:46, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

Shouldn't there be a 20% Customized dmg listed. All bonus items are always customized, this should be no different. Rcollins779x 21:13, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

This is a really nice skin...too bad it probably won't be in the actual game at all (as a skin that can drop). Same goes for the glacial sword. >.< ~Avatarian 86 10:13, 21 July 2007 (CDT)

Urrgh, Sundering mod is trash on anything but a Hornbow-type bow >.> It is barely better than the Nevermore Flatbow imo. 15^50 > 15^-5 for a Ranger because of Expertise...it's like you have DP at full health. Yeah, Longbow has a lower arc, but that's why you use Read the Wind or Favorable Winds or stuff. Sigh... (T/C) 14:44, 21 July 2007 (CDT)

I'm just glad i've got a free pulling longbow for all of my characters with a nice skin. ~Avatarian 86 00:44, 22 July 2007 (CDT)

Nevermore is still a better pulling bow since it'll hit targets uphill that a Longbow can't. Of course if you don't have access to one then it's a moot point. For me, though, I already have the Nevermore and so far none of these Pre-Order weapons seem to be worth my $5. (T/C) 14:57, 22 July 2007 (CDT)

If you are getting EN then ya its worth your $5 cause its taken from EN full price, so its like free weapons with the purchace of EN. Rcollins779x 15:01, 22 July 2007 (CDT)

Huh? I don't understand what you're saying...how is paying $5 = free weapons? I am buying EN anyways for X dollars. Tacking on an extra $5 for the sneak preview weekend (yawn) and these crappy weapons just does not seem worth it. Now, if you are saying that Preorder + EN actually costs the same as just EN, then I am still confused. Where does it say that buying the Pre-Order will reduce the cost of buying EN, or am I just blind?

But anyways. My point is still - if you already have the other /bonus weapons, these newest ones are not worth it. If you have the Nevermore Bow, it is >>> the Darksteel Longbow for a pulling weapon, and the Darksteel is pretty crap for normal usage. If you have the Soul Shrieker, it is > the Hourglass Staff for many casters since Necromancers, Mesmers, and to a lesser extent Ritualists won't often get the Health +45^Enchanted bonus by themselves. And if you're say, a Touch Ranger or trapper or something, then it's a moot point. Soul Shrieker has a cooler skin anyways. Finally, the Glacial Blade...well...it's just trash. Sure, there are no other /bonus max-damage swords, but 15^Enchanted is just bleh. Rhino's Charge anyways. (T/C) 15:10, 22 July 2007 (CDT)

Let me simplify it. EN = $39 whether or not you buy the pre-release. Pre-Release is $5, but if you DO buy the Pre-Release then you ONLY pay $34 for EN if bought from the same location. SO... you get these /bonus weapons for free if you originally intended to buy EN for $39. ($34 EN + $5 Pre pack) = $39. And I agree that EN /bonus arent all that but the other side of the story is if you dont have GoTY and the Pre-searing community (finally a max sword). Rcollins779x 15:16, 22 July 2007 (CDT)

Alright, you are making much more sense now and it would have helped if you mentioned that in the first place >.> Although still, for the Pre-Searing community, Glacial Blade is hard to use eh? I don't think you get any Conjures as an Elementalist, so no W/E. Assuming you had GotY, I'd still use the Rhino's Charge since it's 15^50 and most things in Pre die to like one hit of a hammer at 9 attribute...Deepwound and Bleeding are in favor for the Glacial Blade, but then there's also Hammer Bash for Rhino's Charge. Meh. (T/C) 15:22, 22 July 2007 (CDT)

Dyeable

This item can be dyed. Tested it with my pre sear warrior. --Lann 01:12, 22 July 2007 (CDT)

Legendary Charr Stalker

I heard this bow was used by a legendary charr stalker? I also heard that you get a Charr stalker hero in GW:EN. Anyone seen the trailers? --Lann 01:14, 22 July 2007 (CDT)

The Charr hero is Pyre Fierceshot. -- Gordon Ecker 01:32, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
