      The PvP bow. does good damage has good range. thats it really. however you can do a mixup with bows. have bow out draw arrow, toggle off bow go for backstab. its pretty fun

      • Anonymous

        Can be obtained immediately upon reaching Firelink Shrine by running through New Londo if you're slippery like the eel. Bone out and pair this bow with another quality weapon for a nice physical warrior build.

        • Anonymous

          You want to do a bow run? Get this bow to regular +15, 40 points in dex and you good! On top of all that, no need for mid game darkmoon bow or SUPER expensive moonlight arrows, just regular one gets the job done!

          • Anonymous

            What is the best bow for a bow that wants to primarily deal magic damage? Utilising the moonlight arrows of course. I would assume this one with the highest base magic damage for the +10 magic path. However, with enough intelligence are some of the other bows eventually worth it? Considering this bow gets a A scaling in intelligence whilst others can get an S.
            On my build I also have 45 dex, perhaps The Black Bow of Pharis is the best option, being the only bow that still can give a C scaling for dex while also giving a S scaling for intelligence. But then again, I am considering split damage, which isn't really that important to look at.
            Likely for any build if you don't spesifically want to be a sniper, this bow is the best because high fire rate and higher base damage.
            That's my conclusion, but if you guys think otherwise let me know why and tell me if I missed anything

            • Anonymous

              So I infused my composite bow to lightning, but for a bow to utilize its elemental damage, it needs the corresponding arrow type, and there are no lighting arrows in this game...

              • Anonymous

                I can't ascend the bow past +5 despite having all embers, as in it's not giving the option at the smith in the parish. Anyone else facing this problem?

                • Anonymous

                  Is this the best Bow for Lightning/Fire/Chaos? Ich think so because of highest base damage with no scaling, but i'm not sure.
