I always upgrade this bow to use with any melee build, because sometimes I like to hide on a ledge like a coward and kill an area boss with 73 arrows

WEAPON: PULLEY BOW + Dragon Communion Seal.

this should have a super version of mighty shot, maybe one that has 0 dropoff whatsoever
Pulley bow has 309 total AR with 50 str+50 dex. Albinauric bow has 308 total AR with 20 str+80 dex. Ofcourse pulley bow has the extra range, both bows are viable depending on your build. A bow build should be complimented with blue dancer charm, arrow sting talisman, ritual sword talisman, and the spear talisman. For even higher optimisation, wielding radahn's great bow (I think its called lion great bow) in your offhand for the 20% radahn spear bonus damage, with golem great bow in your main hand as the damage dealer is the way to go. Swap Blue dancer charm for alexander/warrior jar shard. Matched with rallying standard buff+your choice of body buff - exalted flesh or bkoodboil aromatic, even FGS if you want the 15 faith for support incants. I was doing this at 50 str+50 dex, but the softcap for str on golem great bow is higher than 50, so perhaps use the str crystal tear in wondrous physick. I hope this helps someone, just done a bow playthrough was lots of fun! -Pharris Hood

So weird this take somber stones when most weapons that do are magic or special in some way. I get it has longer range but like that hardly feels like a justification for it needing somber. Not a big deal just strange

according to the AR calculator (google it), the Pulley Bow +10 has 48.6 scaling in both strength and dexterity, while the longbow has 30 strength scaling and 39 dex scaling. These values are all considered “D” scaling but you can see why the Pulley Bow outscales the Longbow in spite of lower base damage.

I do wish all bows did more damage. Theres not much of a point having the longest range in the game if youre not gonna be killing what youre hitting.

How does this out damage the longbow when it less base damage and the same D scaling??

The mighty shot is so scuffed with this weapon. It's a compound bow yet you can see the frame itself bend to an uncomfortable angle when you pull it the full length of the arrow.
So I run a quality Paladin, and I have like 80 Faith and Dex and 65 Str. I tried comparing Erdtree and Pulley Bow. Pulley bow is only a little bit behind Erdtree, even with comparing the Golden arrow on the Erdtree and fire arrow on the pulley. Against a target with any holy resistance, Pulley bow outperforms quite a bit despite my heavy investment in Faith. So I shall be using pulley bow now. It also matches my Radahn Armor/Malenia helm better. :) Fashion ring.

This bow is Awesome Possum! Only downside is that you cannot change the Ash of War. :(

Bow with intricate, complicated design.
Only has irreplacable Mighty shot as the weapon art.
Ok-

So, this bow is stronger than Albinauric Bow in terms of long range engagement? I don't quite understand the damage drop-off in this game, so any idea about this? Should I level Albinauric or this one?

Are somber-upgradable bows/crossbows good for a RL1 run or shall I stick to more classic weapons like the serpent-hunter? Thanks in advance!

Strength, quality or dextery build, this bow is the best option for both mid ranged combat and sniping.

If you are a ledge sniper like me, this bow is the best to use, especially with Arrow talismans.

This bow should NOT have more range than great bows. Don't get me wrong, I don't want a nerf, but I would like to see great bows buffed to have like 70-80 range

This seems to be the strongest normal bow.
Tested with 40 strength, 40 dex, and various combinations of stats. The Pulley outperformed the Longbow and the Albuirnac (probably misspelled) Bow consistently, in terms of damage. Also, has the lowest requirements, and the best range.
Seems like no contest.

so this or black bow for pvp? black bow seems like it has a way better moveset and if I wanted to harass people at range I'd just use a greatbow

Didnt realize it was taking somber stones and upgraded to +8 without thinking. So long golem greatbow, it's been real.

This thing chews through arrows. Went through 90 arrows in 5 minutes. Time to pay attention to how many arrows per shot are ticking off

A quality build's best friend when you lack spells. Outperforms the Longbow due to better scaling. Doing around 320 damage at 50 str and dex. The 10% extra range is just a neat bonus.
Plus it just looks cool.

The Arrow's Reach Talisman seems to add significant distance to arrows, but using this bow does not. Very disappointing given that it says "much further distances".

Yeah it's definitely not on a drawbride. Can I edit this ****?
