I would like a moderate (not strong) bow CA for my guardian.  I find it hard to believe a master of physical combat would not have a special bow skill.Plus not only would it help pulling it would help lvling our ranged skill and provide that extra teeny weeny bit of DPS.  Addittionally it would give guardians some small bit of ranged punch for PVP.<div></div>

<DIV>We can already range crit for 1k + easily at lvl 70 don't really see the need for a bow CA , especially since it would need to do more dmg than that to really be of any use and if it did it would be overpowering imo <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bow auto attack ftw</DIV>

If SOE gave gaurdians a bow CA that would be like saying they should change the Swashies ranged skills to having to use a bow only.Its really pointless to let Gaurdians have a bow attack... in The Awakening are MT crits with his bow and hits over 1400 with the ancient sarnak bow.<div></div>

With the Tari Bow I can crit for about 3k in a dps grp on auto attack.  100percent dps (coercer, dirge, bruiser, inq, fury all give DPS mods) and then 50percent haste is usually easy to get with an item + (monk, illus, troub, inq)  I can parse 900+ with just auto attack - what else can you ask for!!

<DIV>unnecessary fluff, let the rangers do the ranged physical dmg</DIV> <DIV>If you need to be ranged on something and ur just sittn there clippn arrows be glad that your power is not dropping and instead use power to buff your group from time to time etc.</DIV>

Meh actually using something is much more fun than clicking on auto attack.<div></div>

<DIV>I don't think i'd roll for the high end bows but I really like the stats on the Satchel, which is what I'm going for.</DIV>
