bow for the poor BD

[Fayd]

so, dark elven long bow....Crit bleed, or quick recovery? i'm thinking quick recovery, but i'm not really sure...

[Lance]

Dark elven long bow doesn't even get Quick Recovery >_>

[collin]

does DELB get QR?

[Fayd]

i thought for sure it did 0.0

alright, what's the third SA? it's evasion, crit bleed, what else?

[Little Ninja]

Miser >_>

[Fayd]

feck man, it's not even worth getting an SA on it 0.0

[Dua]

crit bleed if ure gonna get nything at all

edit: so why dont u get a sword?

[Fayd]

i have +4 duals. but i'm told BD's also need bows for pvp.

and it wouldnt hurt to have some ranged attacks..other than my drain..

freezing strike? :P

but again, i'd go with crit bleed. i think its the best choice for you:

freezing strike
kite
*crit*
~bleed~bleed~bleed~
freezing strike (fails)
*switch to duals*
at this point, opponent has been bled and hopefully you have done some damage with your bow so they will be @ a lower hp.
*hex*powerbreak*
whack whack whack
but thats an ideal scenario.

Yea, bows for BDs are very helpful in PvP. I would suggest, however, going for the BOP. The DELB shoots slower than the BOP, has less patk and the SAs are not that spectacular.

The reason BDs can get away with using the bow even though we don't have masterys for it is because the high patk, and the nice damage with the crit buffs. Going for the higher patk on the BOP and getting a SA like Guidance or Quick Recovery will serve you better. Guidance will help out your accuracy a great deal, expecially with dance of inspiration. Quick Recovery + haste2 + Zerk + Dance of Fury goes a long way.

I know its more expensive, but if you can get the extra for the BOP it would be worth it.
