Longbow Tier List Explanation

SS Tier

Tevent's Arc of Wailing Death	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
Excellent Stats Great Passive Strong in PvE and Amazing in PvP			Extremely Hard To Get/Expensive

Arguably the best Longbow in the game, Tevent's Arc of Wailing Death endows the wielder with the best stats available, performing reasonably well in PvE and amazingly well in PvP.

S Tier

Karnix's Netherbow

Karnix's Netherbow	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
Good Stats Decent in PvE and PvP			Must Be at Maximum Range To Take Full Advantage

A well-rounded bow that benefits both DPS Longbow builds and support builds. It's flexibility allows it to be slotted for many builds, but others may find other bows that better suit their specific needs.

Toublek's Deathmark Longbow

Toublek's Deathmark Longbow	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
Good Stats Decent in PvE and PvP Great at Bursting low HP Targets			Passive only triggers on low health targets A Passive Will Only Work on the Wildkin

A worthy alternative to Karnix's Netherbow, Toublek's Deathmark Longbow performs really well against low hp targets thanks to it's passive ability, which makes critical hits on low hp targets deal more damage.

It also provides some cooldown reduction, allowing harder-hitting skills with long cooldowns to get back online much faster. This pairs well with items that stack cooldown reduction, such as Swirling Essence Hat and Supreme Devotion.

The weapon does have drawbacks, as it requires targets to be below 25% Health for the passive to proc.

In addition, the Wildkin damage bonus only works on Wildkin, and even then the damage bonus is not as beneficial because Longbows don't have many multi-hit attacks.

A Tier

Shaikal's Deepmind Longbow

Shaikal's Deepmind Longbow	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
Decent Stats Good Range			No Unique Passive Passives Do Not Help Much in PvE

Decent, but overshadowed by the other longbows on this list. While Perception is a decent stat, it only really shines in PvP, and isn't as necessary in PvE unless used in a build that requires specific extended buff durations.

Perception can be gained through other armor pieces, freeing up the weapon slot for much more desirable alternatives.

B Tier

Longbow of the World Tree

Longbow of the World Tree	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
Decent Stats			Includes a Terrible Passive No Unique Passive

While having Wisdom and criticals is great, those are the only good things about this weapon. It doesn't have a unique passive, and the passive Health regeneration it provides is too low for it to matter.

C Tier

Heroic Longbow of the Resistance

Heroic Longbow of the Resistance	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
Easy to Obtain			Terrible Passives

Arguably the worst epic longbow, it has the advantage of being relatively easy to obtain. It drops from the Mitran chieftain in Purelight Hill, which players may come across naturally while completing their daily contracts.

Since the weapon is available from multiple sources, it's availability makes it a great weapon to use to enhance the traits of other weapons.
