Bow comparison

[Yabu]

I have done some experimenting with the longbow and the khergit bow and have found that I consistently have higher kill rates with the longbow. I'm not sure if this is new since the buff and the khergit bow may still have a higher dps. However, the longbow only takes one hit to kill most of the starter spawns if you hit them straight in the chest and the khergit bow usually takes two hits to kill. So you can pretty much double the khergit bow's shooting time if you want to get an accurate idea of how fast it kills most troops compared to the longbow.

Agreed, when I became heavy longbowman I felt an instant increase in my killrate. With the longbow I often had most kills on the server, more than actual snipers sometimes.
