    Um, if I am not wrong for PVP Crossbows are good for skill spamming, but the bow is just good for general mass PVP/auto? On the PvE side I have always used a bow, never a cross bow. I think the same applies? b:surrender

    Not sure how ^this will help.

    Crossbows are nice for skill spamming spike damage.
    Bows are nice for general attacks as they're a balance between crossbows and slingshots.


    There really isn't a specific "THIS ONE IS ALWAYS BETTER" when it comes to G16 Nirvana. That said, since Rank 9 and the recasts are bows, it makes a bow the super endgame choice if you were to go for that route.

    Here's the thread where it was argued back and forth for a while. Specifically about G16 Nirvana weapons. http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1561571

    if g16 is ur endgame weapon, i would suggest making a slingshot for g15. they are ALWAYS 2 sockets at g16. g16 is g16 as far as bow vs sling vs xbow. better off making something that has the best possible sockets. also the g15 is always 2 sockets as well.

    SweetieBot plz make me g15 and g16 Ancestor's Sorrow.

    This isn't the place for forging with the bot. There's a thread in Off-Topic just for that purpose.
