Bow is out of control REWORK needed

You babies got your way and now pen shot is nerfed

However you now have to deal with explosive shot

It’s not a uncommon option it’s the reoccurring opinion on these forums go have a look

Are the PTR patch notes out yet?

Who asked for removing stagger on penshot :rofl: stop the fabrication

Oh my poor bois

Can you land that combo consistently from 50m? 100m? On a moving target? Geting high CDs after shooting and missing? Or just to get It instahealed by a single pot? You Talk about this combo as if It was SS/hatchet no counterplay combo or something like that. I also know about the diré musket shot that gets 70% of your hp from hit+dot+slows you. Just to be followed by shooter stance to get 5 chances of finishing your target with a hitscan weapon with no viable response from the player suffering it. You see? If I exagerate things musket looks super OP too.

Yo nippys what do you mean by explosive shot? where did you see that?

They reworked splinter shot into explosive shot. Aoe explosive damage.

Bow hitbox is actually bigger than FS hitbox.

they’re the same, a fact that most people don’t know is that if you’re closer to your target bow’s crosshair doesn’t match where the projectile will land.

if you’re too close to your target you need to aim to the right, it has been like that since the game launched. so some guys think that because the auto landed aimed so far to the right it means that the projectile is bigger, but it isnt the case, because if you didn’t do that in the first place you would miss the shot.

I think that most people know that by now tbh, but. The displacement of the projectile to where the actual reticle is doesn’t account for that completely. It’s bigger.

thats precisely what i just said, he’s close to the target and aiming to the right, if he aims directly in the target he would miss the shot. Fire staff doesn’t have the same issue tho, the crosshair actually matches the projectile.

If he aimed AT it he would still hit it. Just not where he wanted.

thanks for the correction. but i assure you that’s not a honest comparison because firestaff doesn’t have the same issue bow has, firestaff’s crosshair actually match the where the projectile will land, while bow’s doesn’t

I should say that you are correct if we’re talking about head shots.


Crosshair was not on dummy, but it connected. Actually I don’t think he put the crosshair on the dummy the entire video.

Yep, but in that case i can assure you that this auto WITH FIRESTAFF would connect even if he aimed to the left But with bow it wouldn’t. Bow’s projectile is more right sided while firestaff is centered.

I’m pretty sure that only applies to light attacks because bow heavies hitbox is so large that it doesn’t matter if your aim is slightly to the left, event with the arrow displacement. I think that a bow light might miss though.

About that im not completely sure either. But an honest comparision would compare aiming to the right and also to the left with both weapons and that’s why i’m saying that this is not an honest one.
