Longbow

From Guild Wars Wiki

This article is about the bow class. For the weapon with the same name, see Longbow (weapon).

A longbow is a bow class. It has a long range, medium refire rate and medium arc.

Longbows are used as an alternative to Flatbows when Read the Wind or Favorable Winds are not available, as the high arc of flatbows would lead to too many misses.
