Quick note on aiming speed and range: the higher the max range, the faster you aim when the target is closer to you. Also, certain bows aim quicker than other ones. ... Short bows aim quicker than long bows within their short range, and crossbows and composites are pretty good all around.

Is that the practical effect of the 'fast' attack speed given to them, or is that more related to the "cooldown" between basic attacks?

[Girlinhat]

Cooldown is always the same, the bow's "speed" is its aiming speed.  A properly kited Elven Short Bow can be hilarious, as it's a short bow and gets fast speed, but it has upgrades that improve its max range, resulting in some extremely quick firing on anything anywhere.

As far as ranged weapon ranges go, it's pretty much in order of bolt spells, bolt spell with wand, shortbow, upgraded elven shortbow, longbow (just a bit longer than the upgraded shortbow), upgraded longbow (elven long bow and highlander long bow both get range upgrades), wing bow with upgrades, and ego wing bow.

The range of an ego bow increases as the level of the ego increases, and a wing bow already has pretty far range, so an ego wind bow can hit enemies that may be outside the minimum drawing distance sometimes.  An elf with r1 Ranged Attack gets a significant buff to aiming speed, along with Final Shot when it can be used, resulting in the Ego Wing Bow basically letting you set auto-attack and keep anything except natural shield foes at max range.

I personally prefer upgraded elven short bows.  They're quick, high wound, higher crit than longbows, and have almost the same range as a longbow.  Plus they're 1x3 instead of 1x4 for longbows, much less the 2x3 for crossbows, so it's much easier to carry spares.  Although with the change in combat, longbows have a significant advantage in that you can spam magnum, and take advantage of the high damage output.  Though in a difficult dungeon I'd either go shortbow or highlander.

Ego leather longs have similar range too iirc and are much much cheaper to repair xD

Personally, I go for composite bows with that Stamp enchant I keep raving about. Hi crit ftw :3

Soo, who's actually in game, when do you guys usually play and such? And who accepts invites for the guild?

[Aklyon]

For guild invites, readeth the OP. Then poke the stone and tell us (or Seriyu) that you did.

Aye, poked the stone already, was just wondering if anything else was needed that I might have missed.  Currently puttering about doing part time quests and wondering which combat skills I want to train.

[Aklyon]

Make sure Seriyu knows that you did indeed poke it.

[Seriyu]

Now that you have posted that you have poked the stone, I know and will indeed get you invited right now. But yeah, for anyone that touches the stone and doesn't let me know, do. Even just post in the thread so I know to log onto mobliz and getcha in.

[Seriyu]

Annnd double post because I want to make sure this guy isn't just a random person and is a B12er that never posted in game. Alyanes or something along those lines. Did anyone here apply to the guild with that username? (again, spelling may be incorrect)

If nobody says anything by the time I accept people again, I'll reject them so speak up if you did.

[majikero]

Right, for those new people, touch the guild stone and put a message with your bay12 forum name and post here saying your in-game name.

[Seriyu]

Letting me know in the steam chat is also acceptable, even though I'm pretty much the only person that uses it anymore.

[SirAaronIII]

Hey now, I'm there.

[Seriyu]

Yep, direzie is the other regular inhabitant, so feel free to give the message to him to pass on.

[SirAaronIII]

It was so nice when people were in there regularly. Seriyu cannot be a people alone.

[JimDale]

Just posting to let people know that I have the "Etherwind" username.
