Long Bow Or War Bow

Ok guys so i think i understand that the Warbow shoots faster and more accurately than the Long bow but that the Long bow does more damage against armoured characters, Am i correct and what do you think is the best of the 2 and why? I am wanting to trade my 1x loomed Warbow for a 1x loomed Long Bow If this is the case, Thanks Guys. - Crixus

The long bow is very slow and won't be fun to use if your not a good at playing an archer.If you re good go for long bow if not then warbow would probably be better

War Bow every time. The Longbow takes so much time that when I'm actually ready to fire the arrow, I often can't, or don't want to, shoot at the target any more.

Always go for the best looking one.

This. Style is everything (or was until the look of the warbow changed into the japanese balsa wood-esque looking bow)!

Warbow is better at multi-purpose, Longbow is better at tin-can hunting and terrible in archer duels.

Use both and see what you like. Your playstyle determines the choice.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Frankly go either longbow or strong bow.  War bow doesn't have enough greater damage or shoot speed to compensate for slower draw speed and especially it taking up 2 slots.  Longbow does good pierce damage and shoot speed so is potentially worth it if you can handle the slow drawing speed.

Cook kids use Longbow. It looks super cool and you can't beat pierce damage and laser-arrows.

Go for the warbow.
Because whit the long bow when you decide who to shot and stsrt aiming it will be too late because your  enemy will disapear.

Thanks guys this is what i thought, i have gone with the Longbow, my style is more of a support archer and i can do good damage vs armoured players and every now and again i will catch a strongbow user of-guard with a headshot :) so i traded my warbow for a longbow (x1 loom) thanks again  - Crixus

Warbow or Strongbow is the real question....Actually, I'd say strongbow.
Slow and steady wins the race...Unless there is a fast person in it.
