I'll second Recurve. They're way more common and the Nomad's special weapon is recurve.
Well I can already use that without penalty.
Okay, bumping Recurve to B would put it at S on promotion, slightly reduce the weight penalty on a steel bow if/when I get one, also reduce the penalty for a killer bow (Both to 2, they have the same weight), and would let me use a Brave Bow or a Sun Bow, though both at fairly significant speed costs. Either of those two would be crazy useful though, especially the sun bow if enemy cavalry attempts to pursue me.
Increasing Longbow to C on the other hand, would give me access to the Lunar Longbow or Steel Yari, and reduce weight penalties for all Longbows, since there are none I can currently use without slowing down.
Recurve probably is more useful for the moment. I'll save the Longbow power up for level 16.

Hey PS, I've been wondering something. With Discipline, I get the bonus to Weapon levels carried over after promotion right? Also, do you guys think I should up my Longbow proficiency next level, or put this one in recurve?
That isn't exactly how that works :V You would go from Recu C to B, and from bows D to C.
Edit: At least I think it is like that, dunno.

I would assume that it would increase the sub-proficiency by one rank. As it is, if my bonus weapon level carries over (and the skill becomes worthless if it doesn't), I'm going to have S rank in Recurve, Longbow, and Slashing Subcategories. If it increased the entire branch of subcategories, I'd have... S rank in all bows upon promotion, and S in all swords once I was capped out. Which seems a bit broken.
