Flatbow

Description
The Flatbow is a bow with the range of the Longbow, the speed of the Short Bow, but makes up for these strengths with a very long flight time. It has the highest arc of any bow in the game, with the result that moving targets will more frequently be missed, and the arrows are easier to dodge. In PvE this is of less concern, as many creatures will sit at a particular location, but in PvP the constant movement and direction changes can result in a high miss rate, especially at a range.

Flatbow in Cantha have a different appearance than their Tyrian counterpart.

Many players compensate for the bow's long flight time with either the Nature Ritual Favorable Winds, the preparation Read the Wind, or Needling Shot increasing the speed of arrows and thus lowering the arc and improving accuracy.
