Is this weapon going to bring back bow dps for low end rangers? Or do the blackborrow weapons defeat the purpose? I noticed the delay is 24, which comes in handy with a fleeting quiver. Incase you all forgotten (it's been a long time since rangers used bows), fleeting quiver makes a low delay bow deadly.
Okay, does anyone notice if the bow will allow you to successfully fire arrows at targets that are normally too close to land on? I've always considered this minimum archery range to be a fixed distance, but perhaps it's related to your overall range. If you were able to fire arrows at a normal mob at melee range, this bow suddenly becomes very useful again.
picked this bow up cheap so I thought I would try it out and compare it to a bow that has a range of 195+ the ammo, I would put the range of this bow around 125... had to be pretty close to the target to get my shots off. Rather dissappointed in the range to be honest for a BB drop.

saw in official forum from a dev, that it will be fixed in next patch. The error has been caught, and a fix has been completed. however, items, like spells, require a server down in order to implement onto live servers. Therefore, a hotfix is not possible, and SoE needs to wait for next patch. have not seen a date for that, and sorry, don't have a link for what the dev said.

Any info on if this Bow will be fixed with Range or is that it?

I don't really think this was intended to be a weapon, maybe just a range item. As most have stated it doesn't have a range stat. You have to be right next to the mob in order to be in range, which is pointless.When I tried using it I got area agro. on the mob before the arrow even hit it.
The fact that it has a type 7 aug. slot as opposed to a type 4 is testimony to the fact that perhaps the intent was for it to be a just a range item.
Either that or it's just another example of poor itemization. It does say "Archery" in the skill slot and it does have a dmg. / delay stat as well.
My guess is it's some kind of mistake.
Update 7/29/08: According to the devs. this is a mistake and will be corrected in the next patch. Not sure if that means that the aug. will be changed in addition to the range or just the range.

It also has (strangely enough) have the wrong type of aug slot on it for a weapon. It has a type 7 which is usually just on armour. Type 4 is weapons.

Tested on Bertox this morning. Either this is a mistake or a joke. It does only reach the range dictated by the arrow, thus very very short range.
As you might expect from the info above and screenshot, the raw data of this bow shows:
The range you're allowed to fire an arrow at a mob is the range of the bow + the range of the arrow. Thus this bow having a 0 range can mean one of two things. Either the bow adds 0 to the range (therefore the arrow fires only to the range listed on the arrow you're firing) or else the 0 is a programming shortcut to offer an infinite range (or at least to some unknown cap). While I think the latter is extremely unlikely, the former possibility would make this a bad, bad bow.
Can anyone confirm/deny this bow seriously adds nothing to the distance an arrow can fly at?
