Idea for new Legendary long bow


Recommended Posts

As a longbow shooting ranger main I'm sure I'm not the only one anxious for a new legendary longbow. If there is someone out there taking ideas please consider this: "The Bones of Palawa Joko." A long bow made from his remains after what happened in PoF. His head with a broken jaw would be part of it. Every time you draw the bow he says a phrase like, "It's showtime!" or something along those lines, and occasionally says random things. The arrows would be that black goop that Awakened throw at you, and sigil would be a health steal on crit or something. The draw effect could be some kind of necrotic explosion that ends in a ghostly mist falling around your feet like on the Primeval mount skins. The footfalls could be that black oily goop you see in Awakened territories. Well just putting that out there. Hope people like it. :)

They specifically required the DaW contestants *not* design Legendary-style weapons, so it would be *very* strange to make a runner up into a legendary. Also, I suspect design is not only already under way, I think it was conceptualized before the contest even began.

Wasn't his staff a gem store item?

I mean, have you seen the winning weapons? They look better than most legendaries.

Ok well it doesn't have to say "showtime" all the time. But something in Joko's voice , ya know with that attitude and conceit. But just on draw and maybe if you stand around too long or are in a long fight. And definitely not with each arrow fired, i hate that unicorn short bow. SO MUCH HATE!

Looking Closer, it IS the Dryad bow. And now I feel like an idiot for not having noticed the dryad figure on the top half of the bow.

When Aurene first bit on Joko, there was a flash of magic. That was no doubt the magic that made Joko a lich (binding the soul to the body to the point where death cannot separate the two) being broken and eaten. Even if Aurene didn't eat Joko's body, that first bite killed Joko - if you noted, he became limp immediately following that flash of magic at the end of the cinematic.

Actually, it isn't the dryad bow. The dryad bow, however, does exist... as a short bow:

Kudzu is similar enough though, effectively a fancier longbow version.

Well the next Longbow and Scepter should be dark/evilish themed imo. I'm in love with the 2nd gen focus, but unfortunately I don't use focus as a weapon.

The first gen longbow and shortbows were going ok with "cute/kawaii" looking characters, but the second alternative should have an opposite theme.

Palawa/Death magic/Cursed weapon themes can be fine with 2nd gen Longbow and Scepter, they would make excellent alternatives to the first gens.
