.33 second delay on jumping bow

General Discussion General Discussion

Heyo.

This new thing you made on bow.
Now since we can’t jump cancel to shoot.

Have you increased the time it takes to draw, power heavy shot & release?
Or will we still have 3 times less dps than any other ranged?

Fire staff, 3 times as fast (Applies burning)
Ice, 3 times as fast (Can root)
Void, 3 times as fast (Fucking broken still)
Musket, not as fast but requires 0 skill to use and has shooters stance and laser-tracking-targeting. (No trajectory etc)

Or will you accept the fact that the bow will be fucking useless and IF a melee characters gets to you, you’ll be DEAD in those .33 seconds, where they swing 3 abilites that deal 4K each?

Cheers

You know you get a second weapon, right? Use a rapier and you can kite a melee all day long.

100% this, grab a spear and you got some CC. Jumping after a bow shot is just dumb and looks stupid for the game.

Use you skills, or switch to musket if you just want to keep lmb spamming. Or, going by your name, you could just go play something else…

Its alright, people that switched to the bow that cant use it right will switch off it and the real bow players will keep using the bow. Only the meta players are crying about bugs being fixed that they claim to “ruin/nerf” weapons when really they are fixing a bug.

try story lol
you still have an instant cast of skills
while the musket is standing in 1 place for a couple of seconds
it is a recharge after every shot
and light attacks from a bow are still twice as fast as musket shots with the same damage

uhhh what?! You really think a bow shot is faster than a musket shot? Dont think so, if that was the case i wouldnt have to lead shots with the bow. When a musket can point, click from any range.

Think he meant bows shoot twice as fast so you get 2 shots to ever 1 musket

play on bow-dumb spam lkm with light attacks, at medium distance

musket-miss 2 second cooldown, use the skill again 3 second cooldown
the cost of a mistake with a musket is much higher than that of a bow, hence the ballistic
although the heavy attacks of the bow do more damage than the musket

You opened your mouth and a derp fell out fam… Try playing musket instead of being a jumping jack bow loser… Or, a crazy idea, learn how to play bow correctly?

Dude I want to play something that requires at least 1% of skill, not standing 900m away up on some rock in OPR shooting targets standing still. Stfu please.

Ok, so if you’re using a bow you should not be able to kill someone?
Just kite them?

Explain further.
It’s going to crap after update.
And no, I do not always JUMP shot, but in certain scenarios, that’s the only thing that leverages you and gives you the same amount of dps as any other ranged.

if you did not exploit the mechanic it would have never been on the chopping block. End of discussion.

This. The goofy jump bug was just a crutch. Been using bow since A1 and it’s been up and down with balances/nerfs. It’s still my favorite weapon.

The answer to a broken weapon should never be “use another weapon”

Cmon… Use that brain of yours. :joy:

well, yes, we have a target game where you don’t need to be able to aim
turns out
and everyone who plays shooters has no skill, top logic
and the network code in the game is perfect

I want bow to do the most dps, from an infinite range, have all the amazing perks, cost no resource and be able to kill in melee range too.

Like, how many of it’s downsides do you want buffed? It has amazing kitability and range damage, great aoe damage, some nice 1v1 perks if you go that route, idk what more they can give bow without making it broken.

Op needs to git gud.
