Special Bow attacks?

[xrippe]

<DIV>Wondering if Brigs get special bow skills.  I recently picked up a Firestorm bow for 15 gold and was wondering if Id get to use it as a Brig =)</DIV>

Maddening Shot and Blunted Arrows have served me well.

<DIV>I absolutly ADORE strangling shot... with poison <<Grin>></DIV> <DIV>A good hit is fine for between 80-100 dd... add poison proc... add debuff. (with a crud maple longbow, I can only assume your stats are nicer)</DIV> <DIV>Have Ruse ready</DIV>

<DIV>So Brigs have a varity of nice bow manuvers then?  Comparible to an assassin or ranger?  Thanks for the great input =)</DIV>

<DIV>Blunted Arrows does pretty nice dmg, but cannot be used on ^^^ 50+ mobs as their * to powerfull*  bleh   good news is regular bow shots can do 450ish without any specials ;D</DIV>

Strangling shot is very nice for pulling when solo. In the mid-20s, I can take about 1 bubble of health off the mob on the pull. All depends on whether both shots hit and whether poison procs.I still keep a good bow on me (currently the One-Eyed bow that you get from the quest centaur in TS). The extra range comes in handy for those pulls where you're trying to pull stuff out of the middle of other aggro non-social mobs.I can pull the carrion crabs out of the river gorge from up on the hills with a regular bow attack (longer range then strangling shot), then get off a strangling shot while it runs towards me.
