Ill say fire staff is decent, and I could see how its annoying if your not a very mobile build.
They have a huge hitbox and very fast fire rate. If you close the gap they abuse broken IG. By the time you run around it they are gone.
FS is bow 2.0, but not overpowered by any means. Bow is all out dog turd, cant compete currently. Hope Blunder can shake things up a bit.
If your dex your only chance is musket. Too many roots to do anything else.
It’s becoming a joke at this point.
oh, 100% i cannot wait to see what they do next honestly i go to basic training for air force in 1 month im happy that ill have a break from new world for atleast 2 months probably closer to 5
Gonna be a fighter pilot? That’s good man!
oh, hopefully honestly, first is fusion analyst but i would love to be a pilot either fixed or rotery.
ai ye, fight for freedoil, meant freedom… 
maybe shooting more camera crews ahhh terrorists. 
Good luck dude!
Yea bow is pathetic and i for some reason still use it daily. Just trying to keep high hopes for my favorite weapkn
Did the patch change anything, has the dsync gotten better, lag, any changes to the bow?
wait lmfao xD , the really old change from like… october? hahahhahaah i’m sorry fellas. You die hards that keep up with this stuff are crazy. If you guys need a decent game to get your rocks off i’ve been having a blast on project sparrow. Feels like a cross between new world and apex.
Bow community will continue untill the bow is done right.
And yeah that few month old change just got shadow reverted, absolutely nothing on patch notes or ptr notes about it
Yeah, sometimes I ask myself why I keep doing this. Huge time invested on feedback that isn’t being heard.
At least my thread about 40v40 wars being a terrible idea maybe was seen because they changed it back
lets talk about unplayable lol
This thread is 40 days old!
NOTHING CHANGED!
Other than void words from the CMs, we don’t saw ANYTHING concrete!!
Why you guys are so silent about the bad state bow is?
@Luxendra @Shadow_Fox @Willard @BRGF @Centeotl
got killed from a bow user yesterday ,
first time in a month.
i was just too relaxed and didnt take a pot on time .
few more good bow players left but they just duel and will quit as well.
new players that try bow suck naturally.
its like playing against kids.
1v2 np…
it was never easy class to play even before the nerfs.
now impossible…
do something lol.
It’s a unimaginable pain to play mutation 10 with bow and light armor, even closing aim down sight (just a simple right click) animation locks the character for a half second and if the ground catches on fire when it happens you can’t dodge it in time and I’m not even talking about how rapid shot locks you in place it’s just suicide button in pvp and pve, it should be canceled anytime with along Spear’s perforate.
Edit: Also Splinter shot needs a change, maybe musket’s shooter stance like an ability that speeds up normal light attacks and increase charge rate of heavy attacks. also heavy attack needs a rework. instead just a two stances it needs to be chargeable up to %100 from %170.
I run 625 bow rapier with rain of arrows, pen shot, and poison.
Rapier is sacred woodsabre for cooldown reduction.
This is the only bow build I can truly produce value with in OPR, and its the exact one no one wants to play lol.
The evade shot duelists have no place in the game other than open world pvp (which never happens) and 1v1 windsward.
I still havent died to bow in months. Bow aint gonna kill me as im x5 resilient and the fire rate is too slow. As for secondarys my rapier counters their spear.
Bow is poop id love to do something other than rain of arrows to win.
This is why I have light bow rapier for OPR, and medium bow spear for mutators.
Sucks you have to level 2 sets but thats the name of the game. In dungeons Light and .33 root after shot is too prone to getting caught in the ground spawning damage.
You got 1000? I’ll hit those guys for 300-700.
