Why do we still link clips shooting ungeared players and call it a day. You have nice aim, but the math of the game is simple(exluding exploits and bugs, so not simple I guess but w/e) and no amount of getting good or building correct is going to change it lol.
Also opr still has up to an additional 1.4X multiplier after all damage calculations are done. Thats huge, granted it looks like you are not on the receiving end of any OPR buffs in these clips.
NOW. Once resilience is fixed, now you going to be missing a huge 24%+ damage reduction on the big bow shots. That will indeed hurt. Already hurts anyone refusing to wear the only perk that currently matters for pvp though (resilient). The amount of people I know that think they have good gear and then complain crits hurt when they don’t understand the damage reduction mechanics of this game is quite infuriating. Like are you using 600GS armor without resilient? Its trash tier and not for pvp then.
Alot of this is on the game for hidden mechanics but if you test things yourself (using your own brain so this is gonna not apply to 99% of the playerbase) you can see things like:
Using 520 GS faction gear is worse than 490 GS faction gear by about 4% damage reduction. Thats alot of %. Anyone using 520 is actively using worse gear because the number is higher and they don’t understand why. Hidden scaling is why.

Just hoping a community manager or dev can give a comment on if this is being looked into, if its an accidental side-effect that wasn’t supposed to happen from the double shot bug fix or if its a design choice and planned on being kept, if its intentional and not being reverted im taking a big break until another fun weapon comes out.

Exactly this. I doubt that they intended to make it this horrible to use, probably wasn’t tested. If it was then the choice is clear cut, revert or bow won’t be considered as a weapon. Games are supposed to embrace and promote high skil-oriented players not handicap players that use such skills. Isn’t this game and this patch supposed to promote PvP? Wth?

I would sincerely hope they didn’t intend to make one of the weapons unplayable, so I’m gonna give them the benefit of the doubt on that.
Even so, I feel like a lot of these ham-fisted, major adjustments they’re making to weapons and armor are a bad way to do business. Hotfixing skills by walking their damage up or down by like 5% at a time until they hit a sweet spot would be a lot better than these once a month, “oops it’s unplayable now lol” moves.

i didn’t though ==’, it still op enough deal 7k dmg to mobs without need use light armor now. well maybe because i was lazy to do pvp. but for pve it still ok.
Yeah im mainly talking about how the bow plays in pvp now as lets be honest, pve in this game is no challenge if you are a good player, the only possible problem you can face is not having enough players to kill a boss in Mrykgard or somewhere else and if you wait 5 minutes max enough will have gathered to just spam abilities and light attacks in a general direction and take a boss down with ease for little to no reward.
Agree the bow is very unfun to play. The fluidity is gone and you feel stuck in animations and getting out of aiming consumes buffs like haste so they get wasted. Also using skills and shots and dodging together result in feeling frozen and unable to do anything while you recover but the animation doesn’t match so it’s super weird.
Not really sure what they did but please revert it or fix it next patch.
We need
-faster arrow travel times—way too hard to hit moving targets and way to easy to be dodged
-heavy shot aim cancels or shot finishes to exit aim animation much faster
-heavy shot hold meter to know if we are max aim power
-using special bow skills need removed or reduced recover period after using them because they don’t make sense or feel fluid to play

AGS… what expect? already born with a bad image
Please if you are an admin on the forums just ask the devs if this was intentional or not as it wasnt listed in the patch notes. Surely this couldnt be intentional when you were trying to buff the bow? @NW_Mugsy @NW_Berserker_Mike

actually facts
no, ice gauntlet is worst 
- 100% usless.
The bow feels horrible to use now, it feels like they’ve redesigned it specifically with the intention of making it less enjoyable to play.
