Make like William Tel.
The Longbow fires over a great distance, but unfortunately it doesn't do all that much damage.
Like the shotgun, you get two shots. After firing once you get the remainder of your turn time to take another shot.
At best, each shot takes 15 points of health away from your enemy.
The Longbow has uses other than harming the enemy, the Longbow is part of the arsenal of the tactical player. Darksiders can use this to build bridges with, and get themselves out of tight spots. The arrows from the Longbow will also stick to each other if one is fired into the back of another.
