I'm going for female ego then, since I'm guessing ED's earlier comment implied that:

Male = easy now
Female = easy later

And since Wing/Ring need a ton of late-growth... well it's self-explanatory, I hope

(g13 releases tons of new crit enchants).

Any chance you have the names/effects for these new enchants?

Quote from radionoise;268343:

With that setup, both bows start looking almost exactly alike... but the Wing Bow would come out on top due to its range and refire rate.

From Kae's profile:

If your refire is greater than your load time, you'll be forced to wait out the refire time before you can shoot, even if the skill is loaded.

Fast: ~0.18
Magnum Shot: 0.5 seconds
Final Magnum: 0.28 seconds
Ranged Attack: 0.3 seconds
Final Shot: 0.17 seconds

..so really the refire only is an advantage with FS-ElfRange?

Also thanks for helping guys. I'd defer to my guild on this kind of stuff but we don't really have a super-seasoned archer under our belts quite yet

If Kaeporo is right, then yes. However, someone in the Nexon forums pointed out that it is not only maximum range, but bow speed might also contribute to faster aim speed so an ego Wing Bow would aim considerably faster than an ego LLB despite there only being a 100 range difference...

He also noted that bow speed rate would affect how quickly you can spam consecutive Magnum Shots as an elf. It's all really hard to test, so I guess the most you can do is take both opinions into consideration.

Thanks for all the input guys. Decided to go with Female (for the better late-end growth) Wing Bow.

Looked at Mabidata's G13 enchant list and noticed there were a -ton- of +max enchants (Oblivion, anyone?) but not too many great +crit enchants.

If the refire/aim speed boosts really do come through then it'll just be icing on the cake.

EDIT: Just read through the special upgrades and noticed the Highlander Bow +6 vs. Wing Bow... hm.
