I used to hit healers/squishes for over 2400 light attack in the body/no crit and siege for 1700-1900. I now find myself hitting 1100-1400 on squishies and 900-1036 on siege. These are just simple comparisons from my vod reviews so far. Rain of arrows has been missing/possibly desyncing like crazy as well which really hurts my DPS.
Mind you, I have a ruinous bow and yes it was slotted. I triple-checked.
I dont know what your doing wrong but im still getting hit for 2-4k in med
Probably by a pen shot… has nothing to do with the light/heavy attacks
Quadruple checked, bow hits hard still. It’s just the OP having the illusion and wanting to deal way more damage than what bows should do.
They buffed arrow hitbox size making shots much easier to land too.
Its been buffed to hell. Where the new meta is now ranged.
Completely ruins the game again.

Melee tracking for ALL weapons have also been buffed to hell.
Definitely ruined the game since you can left click + track your way to victory no skills required.

Oh I don’t know could it be maybe it’s because the Heavy bow attack time have been sped up to almost as fast as the light bow attacks?
Cap
Oh so when melee weapons get a buff it doesn’t ruin the game but when ranged weapons get a buff it does? 
You trippin
Hehe this forum. There are now both “bow op” AND “bow up” posts at the same time.
The truth is that bow, like spear, is now one of the better balanced weapons in the game.
Just every other weapon to go……
Where did you get that from?
And you can still just walk away from melee or at least ga and wh
I feel like my RoA doesnt hit everyone it should too but I am not noticing a damage loss.
I fight lmb monkies last two days. They literally just left click spam while out of range because they know nothing will happen to them because grit. I had one at zero health after I totally outplayed him but he must of had beserk. I kept hitting him with zero health. Then came healer he was full instantly. This needs to change.
I agree with this
Damage seems fine.
In my short time testing im not super thrilled with the bow so far. Hitbox feels super big. Too big. The combo shot timing is different and is really throwing me off. Sometimes my bow doesnt even fire after a roll. Anyone else experiencing this?
Feels like noob bow players got a big buff and all the tiny mechanics I spent hundreds of hours grinding are far less rewarding.
Should get better over time with practice I guess…
The only time you walk away from a GA and WH is if they fail at clicking LMB consistently enough. But it might be just on your server where people can walk away, because on my server we have sweaty bruisers that can stick to players like glue with a combination of LMB and shift button.

M1 and shift is different the just m1 spam they are giving up deffense for offense
Yes and if you understood basic fundamentals of PvP then you’d know that that simply pressing M1 can force a dodge from people, they simply just don’t get to “walk” away from the melee’s IMPROVED tracking. But I’m disappointed that you didn’t know about how basic interactions like this work and how it all plays in every scenario.
people have been doing this since the lunge nerf. Also light can easily get away from medium with just the rolls. if they get on you with full stam and you have no defensive abilities that is more on you then them.
