Short bow?

[Rahmn]

<div>Anyone considering switching to a short bow for the increase proc chance due to the fast autoattack or sticking with the higher damage yet slower procing long bow? </div><div> </div>

<div></div><div></div>Auto attack retains the previous proc mechanics.  Haste has now become more important to us because of this.<p>Message Edited by kenye on <span class="date_text">02-21-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:03 AM</span></p>

<div></div>So an increase in auto attack speed from the short bow will not increase the chance of a proc?

[Jayad]

<div></div>No, because it is normalized versus the delay of the weapon.  Same proc rate overall.

[Rahmn]

<div></div>So whats the point of having a short and a long bow in the game besides reduced range for the latter?

[Jayad]

<div></div>you can choose between attacking more often or hitting harder?  I dunno, I have always wanted the extra range myself, besides having more procs.  Of course, now there aren't more procs....
