Bow is a threat to bow.
I get hit between 2-7 with that. I’m a bow if course.
As an ardent musket enthusiast(who doesn’t really care for the bow… it’s the bane of my existence) I really agree it needs a buff.
two simple changes I’d like: make the knee-shot capstone inflict a stacking slow of 10% per leg hit to a max of 50%(maybe 30%?).
Make the Concussion capstone inflict 20% more damage and apply a 25% Exhaust for 5 seconds.
i feel like this could make the weapon far more relevant as a control option… particularly when paired with a spear or sword and shield.
I got hit for 5k earlier from a musket. 1.9k ~ 3.2k split damage. the amount of reward on musket is just insane for the low risk.
I did a 900 crit on light armor before. My mind was blown after i saw him roll away.
I also hit a heavy for 737 CRIT today.
I also hit some dude 5-6 times, he healed up and hit me 3 times.
Bow is garbage
to achieve that you’re looking at a 5 Con build… that’s risky
A good X can always beat another Y. Thats pretty irrelevant.
Not risky when youre 200 meters away.

Bow sucks, they need to remove the root after shot asap.

Bow hit like a track into light armor. Medium armor is just to strong.
Difference betwen light and medium is +50% more defense, while medium to heavy is just 30%. WE need to lower medium defense stats for like 10-15% and see what happens.
especially with the new movement and mechanics it feels unplayable, bow/rapier used to be snappy but now it’s so sluggish.

you absoloutely do not take 4k and even if you did, its because you are light with no phys gems and thats literally unheard of… never seen that in my life
What are you guys talking about? good bow players are highest dmg in wars, even above fire staff.
I dont get this forum sometimes.

I can crit meat ball clusters on a control point for 3k + with a crap bow and only 300 dex. So 4k is not unreasonable for a full dex glass.
Do not mistake damage for kill count. Hitting a control point with a poison aoe/rain of arrows/pen shot is a massive amount of damage over time. It’s just not a lot of burst damage to a 14k hp tank that has crazy regen and pocket healers.
yeah but all those players are stacked with rends and you have party buffs, honing stones, atrri food etc. Also rain literally hits way harder than a pen shot, auto shot or headshot, infact vicious is broken right now it does the same damage as body shots, Way different
Is there any other weapons that can burst a 14k hp tank with pocket healers?
No.
I do admit bow dmg in 1v1 against medium players is not in a good spot. But duels are not the parameters for nerfing/buffing weapons.
Your remark was misleading at best I explained why.
And I agree bow single target attacks need some love. maybe change the perk system to reward them for mid range instead of their current long rank perks. swap out the weakness perk for poison shot for a -23% healing as well.
even the aoe abilities suck. Pen shot is the only one imo thats even half decent, at least with that you can hit multiple people for 2-3k. poison ticks and bleed ticks are a joke
