to load your bow click on one of your bow styles , or click on your bow that should be hot keyed, to fire click on your bow after the aim time runs out. to auto fire as soon as aiming is finished, click your bow any time after you load, the message "you will fire your bow when ready" or some thing to that effect. if you double click your bow before its ready to be fired you will get the message, "you will fire your bow when ready and reload." if you click a third time it will cancel the auto load and auto fire commands.
LONGBOW SKILLS!

Ok, I have been looking all morning for a list of skills that we get from training longbow, i.e., Crit I/II/etc...

I have read that we get skills such as Volley and things like this, but I can't for the life of me find out exactly what they do and what level we get them at.

Anyone have any idea please? :)

For two days straight I haven't been able to respond to a post on this sight. When I try to I get thrown to the main page. Well anyways in response to the RE: Styles at the very bottom of the page, most likely the reason why you are doing less damage on your crits with your rowan longbow, than with your guild bow is because the guild bow gives a plus one to longbow. Longbow skill +1 increases the damage not enough for the guild bow to hit normally higher than the rowan, but the crits still hit higher, because of that.

You spec in Long bow because at higher levels you can 2 or 3 shot blues before they can even get to you. I am maxxed in longbow at 16 and 3 shots kills most any blue before it can even get close enough to hit me. Also the styles for later will be very usefull in RVR. I am now hitting for over 180 hp on a crit shot. And I am just 16. Trust me you want to get your long bow skills up there.

Two factors into Specing

One
Unlike most people say Specing effects your damage out put

Two
It will allso effect the speed you can fire
it works like this
say you equip a longbow with 5.6 delay
and you preform a crit shot your delay will be
11.2 but if you are speced out to less say level 7 skill the delay would be around 10
allso quickness stat will effect the delay aswell


so all in all fast bow + high skill + high quickness = Rain of arrows
How do you use bows?

Sorry for asking this basic question. But my lvl 5 scout have had hard time using it last night. I did add the icon on the left menu for targetting. Than I mouse clicked a mob while holding my bow on my hand. Than I saw ready to fire message. Dunno how to fire and finally it says I am too tired to hold the bow and back to square one : ((

How do you fire a bow? Attach key didnt work either.

Thanks

Take your bow drop it to the shortcup bar.
Then chose a mob press the bow to prepare an arrow. Then Press the bow again to fire.

You can press Bow before being ready then it fire asap.
You can Press bow twice to Fire asap and reload.

Bow delay is affected by both the bow you are using and the skill you have in longbows. The time for a critical strikes begins at twice that of a normal shot. The time required for a normal shot is bow-specific.

Skill vs time

From what I have seen, each bow has a time in its stats, your crit shot is usuall double that. You skill will cut off that base time.

My question is, does a scout's thrust and slash skill effect the arrows damage? Or maybe the thrust and slash damage on arrows are 'types' of damage, counting only for bonuses against certain types of mobs/armors. (Leathers usuall decrease thrust dmg while slash works better against them. Plate is weaker vs thrust than slash and so on)

I have heard we get critical shot 2 at level 6. I have also heard we get volley and quick shot, but not at what levels. Does anyone know when we get volley and quick shot or at what levels we get any other skills?
RE: Skill vs time
# Oct 23 2001 at 9:37 AM Rating: Default
Your slash/thrust skill does not effect bow damage. The only skill that effects longbow damage is the longbow. You are correct on the second part. The slash/thrust on arrows simply decides whether they get a bonus/none/negative to their damage against certain types of armor.

there are each critical shot level is faster and does more damage. At some point you also gain the skill volley. I am not sure what other special attacks there are. No one seems to have a list up.
Critical Shot II
# Oct 17 2001 at 12:39 PM Rating: Default
At specialization skill level 6 you get Critical Shot II which reduces the time it takes to fire a critical shot, and perhaps increases the damage (?).

I just made 6th lvl last night and I have been using my critical shot skill with my guild longbow since 5th lvl. Critical shot takes 10.3 seconds to prepare and I have done up to 43 points of damage with my guild arrows. I don't know what styles could add to this skill but I will be interested to find out.
Styles

As you progress, you do actually get "styles" per say for the longbow, 2 of which are the extended range aim at ground shot, in which your range is extended but you aim at an area, and the quick shot where you put some arrows in the ground and shoot them quickly at a targeted area.

So are there no styles for the longbow like there are for all the other melee weapons? If not, what's the pointin maxing out longbow?
RE: Styles
# Oct 14 2001 at 3:51 PM Rating: Default
When u put skill points into long bow, the time it takes for u to fire an arrow decreases. When i first hit 5 it took me like 10.9 seconds to fire a critical shot. with a skill of 8, i know fire a crit in 9 seconds and a regulare in 5.1.
I wonder if my using a Rowan Longbow has any effect on the time.
RE: Styles
# Nov 06 2001 at 4:04 PM Rating: Default
Rowan longbow doesnt seem to affect your speed.......but it does seem to affect your damage output i switched to one from the guild bow and i generally do about 5 higher in damage <14 with guild 19 with rowan> on reg. shots but for some reason my crit shot is not as high. This might very weel be due to the fact that i started making my own arrows and they may be a poorer quality, but i dont know for sure yet.
