Really depends on what your build is i guess like pure str or int. Personally i think a bow ive done pretty well with it in pvp but you may want someone elses opion.

FOR PVP:
with npc gear, the glaive would win because:
1) more hp
2) higher phy dmg
3) npc bow barely has any crit
also the range advantage for bow users is almost useless because their skills take time a long time to charge up(comparing with glaive), so by the time you fired your first shot the glaiver is probably on to you already. then what are you gonna do? stand and shoot? or phantom away? if you stand and shoot you'd be dead, since glaive has stun and bow has nothing. if you phantom away then the glaiver can phantom too...
===============
FOR PVE:
they are similar, but i like bow better. bow has a longer range (than flying dragon) and is VERY efficient if you have a grabber so you can just stand and shoot all the mobs around you all the time. when i was killing ongs by the time the glaiver near me killed 1 i've already had the 2nd one down to half hp because i don't have to run.

bow also saves you hp pots in pve.

o yeah?! what about cold bow? glaiver's advantage point can be tipped over as soon as he runs out of pills
