get your GA and gw someone that dont have resillience, you will oneshot them easily. Resillience is important! And if you play melee with light armor, maybe u need to change that…

exactly!
You mean when he shows the 2 pieces of resilient he is wearing? In your original video he gets hit for 2 3.5k heavy attack crits, gets hit by someone else and then is finished with another 3k shot.
You are aware with 2 resilient pieces practically any weapon will do this damage to you on a crit? Most of them with far less effort.

Idk what you are bitching about
But bow’s hitbox was increased slightly, damage to heavies was nerfed by 20%.
In ptr no one has good armoring gear, so the damage numbers will look inflated. 4-5k auto is a stretch, you are probably naked and running 50 con for that to happen.
Lastly for your “5 stack resilient is not an response/excuse for making a weapon overpowered”
The weapon is not overpowered lol, its still the same with QOL improvements. If you don’t run 5 stack resil, Any other weapon will crit you for 4-5k too. Try playing against 300 dex 150 int muskets without resil LOOOL.

He moves too fast over the helm to see IMO.
Regardless 2-3 pieces any weapon would do that.
And as I said with much greater ease…
That’s 15% crit mitigation when at base the bow has a 30% crit damage modifier. On live the modifier is totally mitigated by the 34% resilience and the 10% 150 con passive. Meaning even with vicious you can’t achieve what he is achieving.
I’m not complaining about the bows damage anyway, I’m just trying to have an honest conversation.
Edit: apologies I meant 24% I added the 10%
2 crits resil : -9.8% crit dmg. 5 resil crit : 24,5% + 150 con give 10%. So 2 resil piece (150 con) around : -20% crit dmg réduction 5 resil pièce (150 con) : 34.5% crit dmg réduction. The damage différence you see on PTR is only people playing with suboptimal gear

I already included the possibility I hadn’t seen the third piece in my reply…
Are you just going to ignore what I said and score points by being pedantic? You can but it just perpetuates this dishonest conversation you seem adamant on having.

Bruh, you’re acting unhinged and attacking strawman. First of all, relax.
Second, explain to me how bow attacks are somehow reduced more by medium armor then FS/GA/Hatchet/Spear. Because if a bow hits for more on light, it will hit for more on medium targets as well.
It doesn’t seem like you’ve played other weapons at all, and have a weird perception that only bows struggle to damage tanky builds.
What a silly strawman. You’re replying to a comment where I specifically said “the bow still can’t do XYZ like great-axe” and then claiming I said the exact opposite.
And yes, the almost 1 second stagger is pretty good CC, that can also be applied 50 meters away. I think any CC stronger then that is limited to between 10m and melee range.
We can agree weapons shouldn’t do everything right? That’s why the GA has been OP for so long, it does high damage, high mobility, high CC. Why should high-damage long-range attacks also have good CC? Doesn’t make sense.
I’m glad you came into this post. I know you find Bow on PTR maybe bit too much but this thread is something else, they literally make it as bow is the new S+ weapon and everyone will run it next and somehow bow will totally make this game unbalanced. Copium is at a high time rate in this topic. They also reply to what they want and blantly ignore constructive argument / question
There is literally no point in having a conversation with you when you are clearly willing to say anything to keep the bow in its overtuned state. Even when your original argument was proven to be completely false you tried to argue against it.

I’m happy for people to talk about its strengths and assess whether it’s too strong. I have been that guy in many threads, I have no time for dishonesty though… If it need adjusting we need to understand why. The fact it can stagger someone twice isn’t going to cut it 
isBlue is just mad because they didn’t buff his rapier. Just switch to bow and be the first Just business bow on their war roster
If you have ever read anything I’ve ever said you’d know that isn’t true. I have said elements of it over perform many times.
I want a balanced weapon, not a weapon that everyone plays until it gets nerfed.
Which arguement was proven false? I hadn’t seen that… I’d be happy to be wrong.
All I’ve heard from you so far is hyperbolic statements. I wasn’t even mocking when I said I laughed out loud when you complained about 2 staggers… I truly did.
Atleast Bow is getting massive buffs, Musket’s getting some bug fixes and some Ninja nerfs! Boy you’ll wish you’re facing a Musket instead of a Bow because Muskets have 2-second reload times and is completely immobile if they’re on shooterstance (easy target in 3v3 arenas)
The bow in the PTR will absolutely obliterate all forms of life regardless if the wielder is skilled or not. Per my testing, as a dex main with over 1500+ hours on Live (playing at 290ms Ping in the PTR) my shots, being only ever “slightly” close to the target, are landing because the hitbox sizes of the arrows are similar to that of a Fire Staff heavy attack. It’s far more difficult to maintain pixel-accurate tracking with a hitscan weapon than simply aiming “close” to a player with the bow and somehow still land hits because “Wow amazing projectile hitbox size radius!”
Imagine how MUCH easier it is for players who are playing at 30-50ms in latency! Atleast with the musket, if you are 1cm off the player you miss (and then you are punished by reloading for 2 seconds leaving you absolutely vulnerable! also pair this with an absolutely horrendous crosshair that blocks vision because you can’t even properly see someone’s head from such a distance if you try sniping!) and that the hitbox size of the hitscan weapon is an actual pixel and is only a fraction as big as an arrow.

Keep an eye on Niilex, Sensei. Niilex actually already runs spear bow in war, sensei i think does melee for the good of the company 
Anyway, I’m done. It’s in AGS’ hands at this point. I’m not unfamiliar with being trolled on the forums for calling out broken things i see that others don’t yet. Time will tell.
