Bow is different from musket. It’s a lot less accurate at far range. Musket hasn’t even changed and is still causing issues for a lot of people but they’re not complaining about it anymore. Now they’ve preemptively moved onto bow once musket had nerfs announced.
This isn’t about weapons being strong. They just don’t like ranged in the game lol.
So assuming we’re only talking about the ape, 170% or 150% depending on setup.
since the hitbox from bow is bigger then that of a musket accurate is not rly a topic here.
they moved to bow because its will be to strong i have no clue how you even can defend it everybody thats trying to look over the overall performace of a bow to other weapons sees that it is indeed to strong
So if people say speer is to strong they just dont like melees in the game haha i cant bro
The hitbox of a bow doesn’t compare to a musket. Musket is hitscan and has a literal sniper zoom. Bow has to lead shots and account for arrow gravity.
Try to shootout with a musket when you’re a bow at far range and see how it goes.
People moved to bow from musket because the first round of nerfs actually destroyed musket on PTR. But it’s actually fine now. Musket will still be very strong next patch.
Yeah you are too smart then why most of ppl bow? i back like 2-3 weeks ago today i tryed little bit like with my max gear they hit like 4k to do medium armor. And most of points this players gets. i see most of time they are like staying some of high ground and pew pew pew 
and this is just a game be respectfull.!!!
How this game is so unbalanced? Like VG is dead. Life staff nerfed lot of times. Now i see like %80 ppl playing range wtf? And they hard nerfed to our heal points from opr. i can say it is so normal this game dieing.
Sounds like you don’t have good mages on your server. My top damage with a firestaff/ig setup is 10.8 million
These are very selective printscreens (like every single complaint about any weapon)… and poorly selected as well.
OP is:
0-4… with 200k dmg…
1-1-14… with 300k dmg…
and supposedly he plays bow or musket.
Both of those scores suggesting that he is either PvE-ing or AFK-ing.
Idk what to say fam… but i would be ashamed to post those printscreen…
Complains about BoW/Musket… uses BoW/Musket — still sucks.
Also yeah i see the most DMG from FG, consistantly.
Show vod haha
Show us
You guys do realise corrupted weakness is Thrust damage right? … YOU SHOULDN’T do as much dmg as bow if you are not running this dmg type.
Invasions also have bad design where you can time a rain of arrows as mobs spawn killing them all before they scatter.
This isn’t “bow is op in invasion”… Bow is literally the counter to corrupted enemy types and with bad design in spawning mobs you can have a field day…
Why would you say this as if any other thrust weapon will hit this high singularly?
This… this is actually a very good take on the lack of split effects for PvP and PvE; dunno if it’s due game constrains, or why, because there are PvP only perks on weapons, but effects and overall balance seem way out of scope. This is a very good and doable option honestly, never thought about it.
Intresting… you geting hit by 3 bow = dead
But you see you geting hit by 3 fire staff=you dead, or you get hit by 3 ga= you dead
He is not bad when he plays instead of dancing
Lol you serious? I agree that bow is little to strong right now. But what you are pointing out are fairy tales mate.
Well, everything he just said is true…
I copied aether’s build for mage and started breaking 6mil dmg, and this is without the heartrune he recommends. In ideal circumstances, if you get leadership, and a pocket oblivion, and you are allowed to solo mage back gate with no insanely good bows, I could easily see 10mil.
Oh, that’s all?
