@@FornaxTheHerald :D braham is the right guy to think about, he was a guardian and became a dragonhunter, bc eir died and he took her bow(yay an elitespec with lore!!!!!) but i also get the Ranger thing, it feels wrong to play ranger and dont use a longbow, and to get that out of my mind, dragonhunter would have been a fine elitespec for rangers aswell
Nice video as always. I enjoyed it. Although, I hope you don't mind, I heard a little mistake at 4:35 - I'm sure you wanted to say "guardian's dragonhunter elite specialization" instead of "ranger's" ;). It so happens that I really like the Ydalir bow, it suits the dragonish theme of my guardian (dragonhunter :)). However I would prefer to have the Fire-Breathing Longbow - better dragon! Keep up the good work! You need more subs.
Thanks for the love xx. Gah sorry about the slip with the ranger bow >.< doh. It’s the whole Eir, Braham promised story tie into the dragonhunter... it gets me every time!
If you have not seen Pans Labyrinth. Stop what you are doing. Call in sick from work if you must. Miss Doctors appointments. Whatever. Find it. Watch it. You're Welcome.
The fire breathing longbow is my absolute fav. It has that majestic, dark souls gothic aesthetic that I just cannot get enough of! Love these videos to relax my mind after work. Keep up the beautiful work Xx
Hey Airoh - I wish I could recall what dye I used. I do remember it being a real pain to match the Auric weapons with armour, they are so very green in there hue. By the looks of it though I could well be one of the enamelled dyes. Sorry I could not be of more help. Take care - Fornax
@@FornaxTheHerald do not worry, I understand that it is 3 years ago, thank you very much for answering me and I will take care what you told me of the dye
Great choices. Like you said, it could easily be a top 20. I love the Dragon’s Jade Hornbow, Largos Greatbow, and Timekeeper longbow as well as many you displayed. I always find it even more fascinating how you weave each weapon into a really nice set of dyed armor and style. It really opens up some ideas to try to make some weapons work.
Oh I love the Dragon's Jade Hornbow as well, might be my favorite although there are always a few depending on the look or my mood that i like as much.
@@FornaxTheHerald Good choices. Used to equip the Peacemaker for long time. I use the Pinnacle Recurve Bow nowdays, which I know not many can get since it requires lots of AP's.
i dislike most bulky longbows, as a lot of mass in the throwing arms means low acceleration, thus low arrow speed, penetration and damage. and you missed out on the chaos longbow
Hey I am just asking because I see it very often what is that shield that appears a lot when you wield a weapon. It’s has the little gold outline and is translucent blue. For example at the beginning when eternity was shown during the intro a shield appears on your toon.
Stormbow would be the best if it was about twice the size. It's really quite small, even smaller than some short bows. You can barely see it with most armors or when firing.
If you ever feel the need you should make a bonus section at the end, or honorable mentions with 3-5 of your picks that didn't make the list. Great vids
I'm still pretty early on and have never heard of any of these, let alone see them, but so far my favorites are the Pirate Longbow, from a jumping puzzle in Lion's Arch and the Seraph Longbow from Caudecus' mansion.
Why havent i seen any of the skins ingame or by any player. Some look indeed great. Btw every character you show is different in look and armor. Do you have so many characters or are some guildmembers of yours?
I love a lot of the bows but I'm lazy and broke and can't get ahold of a lot of the ones I want but I always loved the sleeker bows that matched my rustic armor. I loved the Eir's legacy bows and the one I am currently running is the great Capra and I loooove it!
@@FornaxTheHerald Thank you very much for your work. if it wasnt for this video (which is strange, considering i've played since beta but then quit after a year or so, to never come back) I wouldnt be listening to the PoF soundtrack now. I dont know what made me search for GW2 videos, but I am pleased to say the new tracks souns really good. One of my favorite elements of GW1 was the music. I absolutely loved it, so much so I'd lsiten to it when not playing the game too. I was a bit disappointed when I've heard Jeremy Soule no longer worked as a composer for GW2, which became even more of a pitty, considering how Everquest Next ended up. He certainly is my favorite video game ost composer of all times. here is hoping he will score Elder Scrolls VI. Anyway I am glad to hear McLaine managed to rise up to the challenge, and truly it wasnt a small task.
Aww- a shame you didn't hold off this video for a mere two months so you could have covered the Legendary longbow, Pharus. What do you think of Pharus? Playing since shortly before _HoT_ came out, Pharus will be my first Legendary, and it [will] fit my female norn Soulbeast so damn well that I have trouble describing all of the coincidences!
Your choices were inspired. You are correct there are a lot of choice bows in game, not to mention the ones you can purchase with BL tickets, but I would have thought Wings of Dwayna would have made your list since you can craft it, I always loved this one and the falling feathers are a nice touch on it as well. or for or an easy to get pretty one the Tribal longbow is kinda nice as well if you like purple and the feather look.
You would do amazing as a storyteller, I mean like Disney children's shows voice acting... I don't know what make me watch this video it was just under suggested videos and I clicked it, but funny I play a lot of gw2 and I can't recall seeing any of these designs, and I own the legendary longbow, the one with the flowers, but just goes to show how important how detailed the artwork aesthetically how important it is to the developers, NO one any other game can compare that I have seen in that department, not even final fantasy mmo or even elder scrolls which has stunning visuals as well!
Your voice is as charming as ever. I was hoping to see Timekeeper longbow, but sadly it not entered top ten :( My favorite longbow from the moment it was released
@@FornaxTheHerald I got mine years ago, when it was possible to unlock a random skin in PvP. It's still my favourite skin in game. And it's a main reason why I play Ranger.
The Storm Bow is lovely, though I wish it were a little larger, it almost looks like a shortbow in my Norn ranger's hands. Shame you missed the beautiful Scientific Longbow from the list though.
I always watch your video's without sound. I tried to watch the glacial longbow with sound but the voice in combination with use of language makes my skin crawl. It feels like i'm watching something about a new alien race discovered even more magical then the last one, while viewing their underwater cities with a drone. While i'm just watching guild wars longbows😂 What is up with people on youtube trying to bring something normal/fun up with orgasmic magical whimsicalness? It really is an interesting trend but i can't help it to get the cold shivers😂 *added: you really make nice quality video's + nice backgrounds btw. And i like how you mostly match up your characters with the weapons you're holding. It's just this trend of way of speaking that really makes my skin crawl.
Good production values. The voice drew me in for a time. But... respectfully, you lose me with phrases like "officiously opulent Victorian ornamentation." Specifics are good. A poetic touch makes things personal. But if a picture's worth a thousand words, what's a video? It's already doing most of the work for you. The script therefore feels verbose. Distracting, even--and for me, this lessens the impact of what it is you're actually presenting here; the weapon skins. Think back to poetry, prose, or film you've enjoyed, Think of the lines that have endured the years. Chances are they're not the ones loaded with adjectives and adverbs, but the "simple" ones that best capture the spirit of the moment. Only, that "simplicity" is part of the illusion that great writing creates. It's all in the editing. Sometimes you've gotta kill your darlings. And it's usually a damn sight harder to condense a wordy sentence into a simpler one that retains your intention. But the payoff in clarity, poetry, and impact can be well worth it. Just my 2c, cool upload all the same
Thanks for the feedback. In truth I was just having fun with words, and trying not to be too repetitive. Some skins I like because I like them, and its hard to pin down what actually draws me to them. I do try to use an economy of words when I write the lore videos. There words matter, and I try to keep myself on track with quote - “The road to hell is paved with adverbs.” ― Stephen King, But sometimes I just want to make word salad because I can! hehe. /hugs

Great Video :D that voice is so calming!!! 4:25 Ydalir you said Ranger Elite Spec but it should be Guardian
Aye, sorry for the mental slip- I always think about Braham when the dragonhunter spec pops into my head ..... doh!
@@FornaxTheHerald :D braham is the right guy to think about, he was a guardian and became a dragonhunter, bc eir died and he took her bow(yay an elitespec with lore!!!!!)
but i also get the Ranger thing, it feels wrong to play ranger and dont use a longbow, and to get that out of my mind, dragonhunter would have been a fine elitespec for rangers aswell

If you have not seen Pans Labyrinth. Stop what you are doing. Call in sick from work if you must. Miss Doctors appointments. Whatever. Find it. Watch it. You're Welcome.
The recent Halloween flaming bow could make an updated version of this list
You voice is like an angel's
Thank you 🌺
I TOTALLY AGREE!
Did my girl just reference Pan’s Labyrinth?! I thought I was the only one who saw that movie! Ahhhhhh your channel surprises me everyday I love it!
@4:35 rangers dont have the dragon hunter elite. That's the guardian I do believe
Yup - I derped
@@FornaxTheHerald happens to me all the time. But I did get caught off guard for a split sec. I was like...I CAN DO WHAT??? then was like wait
The Golden talon bow is the most beautiful bow in the game!
The fire breathing longbow is my absolute fav. It has that majestic, dark souls gothic aesthetic that I just cannot get enough of! Love these videos to relax my mind after work. Keep up the beautiful work Xx
Fire breathing longbow! My character is named I Love Dragons so i had to have it. Took me 143 black lion keys, but so worth it. Best bow.
I don't know if you read this, but can you tell me what dyes you use with the auric weapon? Ty ty
Hey Airoh - I wish I could recall what dye I used. I do remember it being a real pain to match the Auric weapons with armour, they are so very green in there hue. By the looks of it though I could well be one of the enamelled dyes. Sorry I could not be of more help. Take care - Fornax

Aye, that was my bow of choice before Kudzu.
What is that armor the character with the Auric Longbow has on?
wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sentinel_Outfit
@@FornaxTheHerald Thanks a lot! 700 gems is too expensive for me though, I'll just try to substitute it with Requiem Armor.
Do skins of bows also give visual effects to arrows or something??
Hey I am just asking because I see it very often what is that shield that appears a lot when you wield a weapon. It’s has the little gold outline and is translucent blue. For example at the beginning when eternity was shown during the intro a shield appears on your toon.
the shield icon appears on all characters when they have the aegis boon on them, its just a visual indicator that you have aegis
Stormbow would be the best if it was about twice the size. It's really quite small, even smaller than some short bows. You can barely see it with most armors or when firing.
Aye I can understand wanting it to be visible.

Can you still get the weapon voucher's for the storm bow? I really want it now.
Hey Herald! What outfit/armour are you wearing for the desert king?
Not ranger. Guardian. For the Dragonhunter specialization. Ranger HoT specialization is Druid. For Ydalir at 4:24.
Hi, really nice video! I love your tops, can u tell me which dye are u using with the auric weapons for outfits flames?
Will the fire breathing bow return? I really want it :(
I hope so! Keep an eye on the gw2 twitter account.
i have auric longbow and i dont know where i got it
Hello, i love your series.
May i ask what dye are you using to match that auric LB ? it really amazing.
Why havent i seen any of the skins ingame or by any player. Some look indeed great. Btw every character you show is different in look and armor. Do you have so many characters or are some guildmembers of yours?
Jaron Schipper I used three characters for this video, my ranger, warrior and engineer. I just changed their clothes and hair colour/ style.
@@FornaxTheHerald So dedicated to Guild Wars 2 ^^ (heart)
@@AngNL I do love the game and always return to it - although I play many MMOs GW2 feels like home.
Some "Armors" were Outfits on those you dont need to Change the Armor skin just the Outfits
@@beneteus3833 Aye - outfits save me a lot of trans charges and many of them are just awesome.
Sorry, what is your pc build for best graphics?, i see ur videos for the quality, i have a good pc, but i dont have this quality, pls :(
Ydalir - Guardians have the Dragonhunter elite spec, not rangers. :)
Yay great stuff fornax! Glad your voice has gotten better. Love storm bow I overuse that skin.
I love a lot of the bows but I'm lazy and broke and can't get ahold of a lot of the ones I want but I always loved the sleeker bows that matched my rustic armor. I loved the Eir's legacy bows and the one I am currently running is the great Capra and I loooove it!
is the music taken from the game? Sounds much like Vabbi (although I havent had a chance to visit iit in GW2)
You are correct! All the music in the video is from Path of Fires Official Soundtrack. The Opulence of Vabbi is one of the tracks.🌺

awesome job like allways fornax ^_^ i love it

Nope, none are legendary

Azureflame is my fav!
Ydalir is from the Guardian not Ranger! But awesome video :D really loving the desert king and fire breather
Zodiac Longbow is, in my opinion, the best skin in the game.
Yous missed Leaf of Kudzu lol
Damn unfortunate timing with the new LB
Pharus ..There can be only one
