Sword-Singer's Bow never spawns as loot (Alik'r) nor appears in Regional Containers.

I've also looked on TTC's search interface and they don't even have a preset for it. i.e. you start typing the name in the search box "Sword-Singer's B" and it doesn't even have a drop-down selection. Typing "Sword-Singer's Bow" it acts like it doesn't even exist. I've tried manually searching under the "Sword-Singer's" search and absolutely NO bows whatsoever. Not garbage Training, no named bows, nothing. I dropped 380k ap into the Alik'r regional vendor and got bows for the other 2 sets, but no bows for S-S.

I have to assume this is a bug. While it does seem the game's designed to detect the type of build you are running and give the complete opposite garbage sets constantly, along with monitoring trends and avoiding giving the popular set-pieces (weapons you use especially) and traits especially (noticed more training junk from pledge boxes since Transmute was added....), NEVER dropping a bow from a less-popular set is ridiculous. I just wanted to try the set out to supplement a pve set I always have on. Since my other main 5-piece is dungeon set, getting it's bow will be harder (I've been through 50+ times and still nothing) and if S-S doesn't hold up, the entire endeavor was a waste. And farming Automaton isn't something that's very appealing at the moment.

It doesnt exist.

It was removed couple years ago, as an attempt to make "smart" loot. They removed weapons from the loottables that cant proffit from the 5 pc bonus.

Yeah I think you're thinking Sword-Singer gives bonus damage to bows because they're counted as two handed weapons (requiring both hands) as opposed to greatswords, mauls and battle axes which are actually classified as Two-Handed weapons (the actual weapon). Even if a bow did exist, you wouldn't benefit from having that 5 piece on your bow because it's not a greatsword, maul or battle axe and 2h skills.

Hmm, looks like all the posts of people running the set for pvp are wasting their potential then. Kinda stupid pulling bows out of the game (even dumber not letting it work with bows and why wouldn't it be added to tool-tip for the set?) when you can still run the 5-piece set w/o weapons, so not very "smart loot" if you ask me. Should be stated on the tool tip.

Bow is a two-handed weapon though. It even counts as two slots now meaning you can legit run 5/5/2 on bow, so bring the bow back for this set and have it count. They have the DW variant that works for dual wielding.

Thanks for the info though guys. Already wasted a couple hours and a ton of AP on this nonsense. Would have wasted even more w/o your help.
