We have several threads with comments about the new Legendary Shortbow: Chuka and Champawat. Seems a good idea to get everyone’s thoughts together, so please use this thread to share your impressions.

Thanks.

I wonder if it’ll coat you in tiger stripe aura while you wield it. And how Thief/Daredevil it will feel, as I don’t play my ranger much and when I do she is staff/longbow.

The Champawat Tiger was also a real animal, and with over 400 kills to its name was the most prolific man-eating tiger on record.

The other tiger killed 436 people.

The Champawat Tiger was a female Bengal tiger responsible for an estimated 436 deaths in Nepal and the Kumaon area of India, mostly during the 19th century. Her attacks have been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest number of fatalities from a tiger. She was shot in 1907 by Jim Corbett.

Chuka is a village in the district of Champawat

My guess is, whether or not it has a tiger theme, there’ll also be Indian influences.

Given how much people complain about “girly unicorns,” re-skinning it to flying tigers seems like a good way to go. Or have it shoot biceps so people really get how masculine it is now.

I’ve seen…. detailed descriptions of that nature for the short-bow on reddit. >_>

But really, I like to use the flamethrower on my engineer in first-person view in central Tyria, so I really do see things flying at my face.

You complain but this would be my dream weapon. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tigers! If this bow has anything to do with tigers then I’m down down down for it!

I am actively working on The Dreamer precursor collection, but I’m definitely halting that till this shortbow is revealed. Tigers trump unicorns for me 100 times out of 100 times!

Of course, one should keep in mind that they’re increasing the weapon sets for each profession. So maybe they choose that one as its already a weapon for one of the new elite professions.

The bow could be a giant bicep with abs that throws tigers maybe?

It might be a transformation on proc item that actually transforms your character into a tiger humanoid.

That could be cool.

And why do I get the feeling this is a hint at Cantha for some reason? I don’t know. Probably just a stretch.

Speaking of tiger themed stuff I had an idea for legendary dyes in the forum awhile back where instead of one color it’d be two colors. Maybe a tiger dye would be cool too? It would be Carnage Orange with Shadow Abyss stripes. Pattern would mostly be consistent and be a leather dye but still look great on metal.

Forget the giant bicep. Have a bow that throws manly men instead of unicorns as a real manly weapon.

Yeah the fact that only 2 classes use it is awful. I wouldn’t mind waiting an extra month or two if they put out a legendary that most classes use. Sigh A tiger themed short bow…. “GRRRREAAT!” /s

Credit goes to to 3ee3 from reddit. This is from their teaser trailer.
Personally I think it looks super crappy but w/e.

edit: To clarify, by crappy I mean ‘not legendary at all’. Yes it’s alright and not every legendary needs to be over the top (I personally enjoy the sleek, simple skins much more) but it’s just super generic and underwhelming in terms of design.

Thx for the pic however I can’t possibly think of an instance where this thing receives any actual hype. Thieves and Rangers and short bow isn’t even the most used weapon by either class either.

Unless ANET slaps on short bow on the majority future Elite specs if the game lasts that long or the even more radical idea of Anet expanding on the weapons and skills of the base classes.

At the end of the day it’s the last legendary that can only be used by two classes who barely use the weapon class. It probably would’ve been better if it was an aquatic because more classes would at least be able to equip it.

I’d rather go after the pony bow. This looks like a modified ascended shortbow (just increase its width…).
