Organic bow (Archery)

I was experimenting with the Archery bow, trying to find an organic bow.

When I had no luck finding one, I googled the power to see what kinds of bows there are:

Archery Bows

I am quite disappointed to see how few options there really are!


I'm looking for something sharp and angular, but clearly organic, not made of metal or wood.

    i'd say the closest you're going to get for sharp and angular is using the composite bow and various browns to give it that "woodsy" feel.

    i've always been disappointed in the lack of options for natural looking bows- really for bows in general, but especially those.

    That's not what I meant by Organic.

    I meant fabricated from living creatures or tissue.

    Think the Collector Armor/Weapon from Mass Effect or the Fathom Coral Armor.

    Those pictures should give you an idea of the kind of visual style I'm looking for.

    Try Roinesh hand on the right hand side combined with a suitable coloured bow. Only thing that spoi.s the over all effect is the glowing bow string.

    I doubt that is a practical solution.

    I only want the bow to be visible when I am using the skill, having a Roin'esh hand would look very odd when I'm not shooting an arrow.

    Also, my character is actually a swordfighter, so that would look strange with a Roin'esh hand.
    And it would ruin the carefully crafted look of the armor if the gloves didn't match (they are 5 finger standard).


    Realistically, the only solution is for Cryptic to add new bow skins and hopefully I'll get one that is appropriate.

    Here's some rough ideas of the kind of thing I'm looking for:

    Jade Longbow
    Final Curse
    Flame Bow


    But I'm not sure when or if Cryptic has ever added new weapons skins, especially for bows.
