Bow buffs are overtuned

And no laz bow either.

Movement speed that doesn’t matter with the self inflicted CC

What do you mean lol you can evade cc really easy now on live is going to be even easier to evade cc on ptr when it gets to live lmao…

I think it needs a buff, but the buff on PTR is overdone. They need to tone down hit box sizes, and also remove the instant skill cast after a light attack.

It’s called being unbiased :joy:

Damage mitigation it’s way harder than damage increase. full resil + 200CON means you won’t ever be hit by crit shots on bow. If the bow has vicious than the crit is +6% from an auto attack

Why even make a post bitching about how OP the Bow is on a test server when the BB is running around getting 20+ one shot kills every OPR match?

If you want to play a melee only game, try street fighter.

Why every weapon can animation cancel an auto attack into a skill and the bow shouldn’t?

Shouldn’t we be able to use honing stones and food either? Lmao

No other ranged weapon in the game has 2 instant cast ability cancels that also have near instantaneous travel speed. You can’t react to these abilities on PTR.

If a mage is going to light attack you then fireball you, you can dodge the fireball. It’s a slow moving projectile. The projectile speed buffs they did on PTR made bow abilities travel at bullet speed.

Didn’t they reduce this on PTR? Also, because you’re farther away.
Matter of fact, canceling auto attack chains with dodges is going to be more hurtful than helpful pretty soon. With the stamina stuff.

You are like the king of changing topics, but if you want to complain about how strong BB is go find a post or make your own. The BB is super busted right now but that is a separate issue.

This post is about the bow.

pen shot into auto for what, at least 7k? sounds reasonable that you can do that from a range of 0-50m or more lol

It’s not insta, there’s a small window you can dodge it.
Also there wasn’t any projectile speed buff, only hitbox increase and fire rate increase.

Bow players have not gotten to play the game yet and you are advocating a nerf before it even gets to live build.

That’s because bow was dogshit for so long that they got used to just ignore bow players. Now they have to deal with us otherwise they gonna be killed and they can’t stand this idea.

Fair enough, I thought there was but it was just hitbox bump.

Regardless, bow projectiles (especially pen shot) travel much faster than any other abilities other ranged can throw out after a light/heavy. The point stands, you can’t compare them.

Bow players were strong until they nerfed the jump-auto-reset. This patch they increase the attack rate and the damage per shot. I could care less if bow players ‘get to play the game’ if they’re going to be capable of stopping everyone else from playing.

Counterplay is good. You cant block ranged attacks therefore there is 0 counterplay to a good bow user. Better burn all your rolls getting in range so they can pop you with an auto+evade lmao
