Guild Wars 2

Apologies if there is already a topic similar to this but I was wondering that longbow you guys plan on using with your dragonhunter come HoT?

For myself, I set out wanting to use the Dragon’s Jade Hornbow Skin . That’s what I used on my beta dragonhunter but I have since decided to keep the skin on my ranger.

I had a BL weapon claim ticket lying around and so got Dwayna’s Longbow skin as a potential but I am not sold on it.

I also bought the Crimson Lion Longbow skin as a potential. I think I am one of the few players who actually likes that skin set.

If money was no object, I think I might have considered Wings of Dwayna . Alternatively, if I ever get the drop, I would love to have the Fractal Longbow . So what about you guys? Which bow do you want your Dragonhunter to weild?

well they just drop me a fractal lb skin so…

chaos

granted i’m rocking chaos on everything else on my guard, so its not the most original choice.

Dwayna for me, but that jade hornbow skin is also very sweet.

azureflame or chaos

Wintersbark. I bought it a few weeks ago, just because it will look great on my guard.

I have an icebrood-corrupted Guard going dragonhunter (Coldsnap is amazing) who will be using Wintersbite. Hail Jormag and what a fun elite for that.

I have a Chaos Longbow for my white outfit Guardian, and an Azureflame for the traditional Guardian blue-flame look.

Tempest Longbow + Wind Catcher

I used Ley Line Longbow during the BWE event. Made me feel like I killed one of those Mordrem Archers and took their wep to kill them. Plus, blue stuff make me happy :P

Assuming they make the Longbow viable, and make Dragon Hunter viable, and our traits, virtues, traps viable…

I will most likely be very unoriginal and use Wings of Dwayna XD

Thanks everybody for replying. Please keep your selections coming. ^.^

Very good selection! All far more suited to guardian then the other two longbow classes.

That’s a very good skin. If my characters weren’t dress very dainty and elegant, I would totally go for Ley Line weapons. As it is, the heavy stone look just doesn’t work.

Tempest Longbow + Wind Catcher

That’s a very windy choice! I like it!

I would just pick something nice and simple, like an elder wood or maybe an aureate bow. If I had to pick something more extravagant I would aim for Kudzu tho who knows how long that would take to get.

Fractal Longbow. There’s no other.

The one from the WvW tournaments rewards, the longbow from fractals, Azureflame and Tempest seems the ones which fit the best in terms of visuals. I also like a lot the aetherblade bows, but what they have in modelling complexity they lack in particles effects (and I’m on the side that if you are a long term player with thousand of hours in the game and thousand of achievement points, the more fx effects and light sources you have in your main character, the better).

Would love, love, love to have that! My guardian already has the fractal torch, scepter and focus. I also have the fractal greatsword but I am not using that. So having the fractal longbow would fit right in! But so far, no luck T.T

got some pics of wintersbite on my guard.

Very nice! I love how well it works with the flower!

Definitely Azureflame, the effects on the projectiles of the Dragonhunter go well with it.

My Guardian has a crystalline theme to her weapons.

There are quite a few choices that fit that motif, but I think I’ve settled on Odanta (the Ambrite longbow) and the Daydreamer Longbow for the time being. I may add the Warden Longbow or the Zenith Longbow at some point as well, once I hit the point that I want to expand to 3 skins instead of just 2 for my Guard.

Already have the Daydreamer skin bought and sitting in my Guard’s inventory. Still need a lucky Fossil drop to get the Ambrite one, and have had pretty bad luck with those lately it seems. Gone through around 100 keys without one.

I recently completed the full Ambrite collection, mostly through PvP which guarantees a fossil, and so definitely know the appeal of the Ambrite longbow. The daydreamers is also very nice. I have been considering picking one up but I need a few items to sell first. T.T

I might very well use the specialisation longbow skin we get as dragonhunters (the one seen in the reveal trailer). I know I will definitely be using the gauntlets we get.
That being said, I will probably be using the mystic hornbow skin:

I really like that skin, especially with its subtle effects as well as the overall design and colour of the skin.

I really want the azureflame skin though. That looks so dam awesome and I really like the concept of an ethereal bow, specially seeing as the dragonhunter isn’t shooting physical arrows in the traditional sense but light condensed and shaped into arrows or cages etc.

I’ll be using the Wolfborn longbow for now, because of the white/black scheme and it fits the style of my charrdian. This should be enough for me until I have enough for a 4th gift of light to make the azureflame.

Ley Line Longbow!

My Guardian uses phoenix weapons, and the Longbow is a welcome addition to her collection!

I dont know, someone knows a electric skin?

meteorlogicus and minstrel probably will be the best for the range still!

Hey there, two bow skins, as I still hesitate on the style of armor I’ll use as my guardian’s ascended stuff.

One: soldier version, with the Ebonguard’s bow, (ascalonians ftw)

Two: Tribal version with the centaur’s bow. (might as well take centaur’s weapons, since they survived maguuma)

That’s a fantastic look and the bow really goes with it!

I’m planning on using the hero’s mistforged longbow.

Although that Phoenix Longbow looks pretty nice…

Azureflame ftw!
