Bow tips

[artiksilver]

I've played this game only up to HR5 on a char, and I've found that I had no decent weapons to use on Daymio by the time I got to him, and it got frustating, so I made a new char for a fresh start, and to try out bows.

I've seen part of a video of someone fighting a rajang (on PSP) with a bow, and they basicly just charged the attack, then turned towards the monster and released it. I've tried this tactic a bit on the very first gathering quests against velocipreys and congas, and its worked quite well.

I would like your opinion/experience on how a bow is better used, what is the avarage range to fire from for best damage, is the power bottle(or whatever) a requirement for decent damage or just a boost or any other usefull tidbits you can provide.


...Please no "wait till HR X for bow lol", I liked it, and dammit, I'll use it!
Thanks

power coatings is a must have for a bow, mixed with critical, adren, sw for mhfo, its being a terrible weapon, notice that few bow can send a mhfo special coating who give explosion dammage
