Harbinger Bow vs Imperial Bow - Opinions?

I know a lot of the guides say Harbinger, mostly because of the increased Crit and overall damage, but Imperial (and Highborn, though with lesser damage) have faster attacks (+ increased Ele Damage)..
Thanks! :)

in general, fast weapons are good for builds using lots of flat added damage, slower ones for phys damage scaling (or situations where attack speed is irrelevant like traps or mines)

That was my impression as well, but am hoping to get a lot of "experienced player" feedback on it :)

I have to upgrade my bow (I *thought my current Iron Commander was pretty darn good, but apparently it LOOKS better than it actually is :( )
Nah, iron commander is total crap unless you play very specific build that focuses on lots of dexterity (like 1k) and siege balistas. Get a real weapon (iirc we already have advised you to do that in another thread?)

Yes, I'm working on the resources for a new bow! :) NOW I know more what to look for, however, I am still SEVERELY limited in the current resources I have - so it's a (literal) grind. I have VERY few Regals, and not a ton of Alcs, so I don't want to Regal until i am 100% certain it's going to be the best I can get.
dude, you can start (and in some cases even endgame) with Lioneye's glare bow. It costs 1 chaos orb or less (btw I never try to buy anything cheaper than 1-2 chaos because its not worth the time spent when trying to find a seller who is willing to waste his time on the very cheap trade)

That may be true, but I have had no success in buying anything (though I had one EXCEPTIONALLY kind soul assist me significantly :) )

So let's keep this discussion to rarities of these types. Ok ? :)
