I think bows are great. I always use them in PvP.
It's a great way to catch someone off guard, and Poison Arrows are probably the single best offensive move you could ever make in the entire game :tongue:

I agree the controls are a bit crazy to get used to, and precise aiming with anything except the Black Bow of Pharis is terrible.

But with that bow, arrows fly perfectly straight. Every other bow is broken.

I'd like to see crossbows get the same aiming capabilities of bows.
