An interesting bow idea

One that I don’t think has ever been done in wow and is often just not represented in fantasy rpgs

A japanese longbow, a yumi, basically they’re asymetrical. If you’ve seen Princess Mononoke, it’s the bow used by the samurai pursuing Ashi*aka (bliz this is a proper name dammit).

Even FFXIV, despite being a Japanese game, only used a Yumi once for its bow models (the ARR relic bow, Yoichinoyumi).

We do have larger bows.
Do you mean something like this from Arjuna?

More like what you’d use for Kyudo (I know realistic translates poorly to wow’s art style otoh Yoichi in FFXIV is one of the rare examples that also does the stylized fantasy nonsense version of it) Like the grip is on the bottom third on these designs.

Annoyingly I don’t have the ability to post pics :stuck_out_tongue:

Ah. I don’t think they’d do that with the way we hold bows.

tbh ffxiv also doesn’t generally do asymetrical bows either except for like that one and the one that’s literally just a concert harp in Heavensward

They should add a bow made of dogs and call it “Wow”.

As in “bow-wow” lol

I’ll take a Big Mac, a Double Whopper w/ cheese, and also a Baconator please.

You mean one of these?

“bow”

I thought you meant “bow”

They’re too busy making abominations they call bows to make a real bow for the game.

Some of the older model bows (classic) are shaped like this, the difference is the size.

They should allow engineers to make bows. It’s silly they can make something more complex like guns but can’t make a bow.

To go off on a tangent also let Enchanters make Magic Lanterns off-hands. Thanks.

Actually they should give bows back to leatherworkers

I’m miffed that they did it for two expansion in a row, finally, and then decided “lol nah get a gun”

There’s like 3 bows total this expansion

Some bows have different arrows!

The Night Fae models and the bows from BoD have different arrows, and they look pretty cool!
