Guild Wars 2

Anybody have this longbow on thier ranger? Does this longbow change any of the longbow animations? If I recall correctly it changes the number 5 skill into a ice storm animation.

no, no, no, no, no, no, it just changes the skin of the bow, nothing else. No animations, no different arrows, nothing else.

The ice storm animation is from the Elementalist with its ice bow skill. Rangers can only get it if an Elementalist gives it to him. However, the Elementalist bow has its own skills, so you don’t get the Ranger’s longbow skills with it.

I would avoid getting Wintersbite. The skin looks nice, but it offers nothing else.

This statement is so stupid it hurts…. EVERY item in this game that’s difficult to get is totally apperance based…. If he wants the look he should go for it….

@OP: I don’t believe it changes any of the animations we have, the nice icy ones are as the other guy said, from the ele bow.

For future reference, the only thing that changes the look of skills are certain legendary weapons. Fractal weapons and some others also leave a particle trail when you move the weapon which can look cool, but doesn’t change the look of the skills themselves.

It was my conclusion and final advise for him: “Don’t get it, it’s just the skin and doesn’t have any extra animations”. Of course he could still get it for just the skin if he wanted to. That goes without saying.

Not only legendarys, Marjory’s Dagger changes all projectiles to little snakes.

Honestly, this bow is very small, seems unfinished and overall crapy. I wouldn’t even bother getting it. There are several very good skins which are not even exotic. I’d suggest looking up into pvp locker
