The admin or moderators at Amazon gaming need to see this! Two separate people have entire guild telling them not to play bow, all the while half the armies out there are great axe ice gauntlet. Devs need to balance better and give dex a chance and bow needs rework and some love lol

ya Iāve been playing GA / IG a ton just to practice, dont find it nearly as fun as bow but bow is pretty far from meta. GL in CK tonight.
Iāve converted to full mage and healer. Bow is a dead weapon in pvp lol
It is dead and Iāve mostly switched as well, but bow is so much more satisfying and probably the most fun to play especially in light armor. I love getting good with a weapon that can be deadly, but they took away the deadly part for it and that is shitty. The fix is not even that hard though, add armor penetration, remove the root or at least cut the time in half, and potentially even increase the arrow speed and increase the hit box a smidge and the weapon is back. They donāt need to boost damage across the board because it is fine against light armor, but make it good against all armor types at the very least, and please change the root after each shot! These two things are irritating and make the weapon unfun

I beg to differ, depends how effective you are at not getting hit, i myself am a 490-500 dex and 5 con glass cannon with a 25 laz bow, if its heavy i cant kill it but i can almost one shot another light armor at this point lol
But bro, 500 dex and zero con?? That is extreme glass cannon and not fun for most people or a dynamic build. You are a full glass cannon and if that is the only way to do damage then it is a broken weapon. You are not a very viable person in pvp, and even in duels you too squishy and a few hits and youāll be dead. A random musket shot will probably kill you and now that the hit box is massive for fire staff, a skilled magic player should kill you pretty easily.
I mean its just what Iāve always done, I enjoy 7k hp cause hearty amulet, base 6k.
It makes the game fun knowing if i mess up i die. I dunno im pretty wack and will continue to do this untill i drop dead in this game lol.
Actually It is viable in pvp as Itās the sole thing ive done for 700+ hours, Iām a bowman in CoS in the top yellow faction and frequently play in our wars
But yeah i am super super squish but unga bunga caveman dps Big numbers go brrr(Cringiest thing ive ever typed in these forums)

Whoever designed the bow either has no idea or wants no one to play it.
the fact that at 500 dex you canāt kill a heavy player, not even a tank just a random heavy armor player speaks volumes about bow as a weapon in pvp.
When i hit a heavy i usually see between 550-1100(1100 is me being generous) damage and i think i actually hit crits for less damage than my normals but I have not hit a heavy player in a while since ive just convinced myself its useless
Here for my weekly check in Have they done anything to fix the bow yet? Any dev comments?
they fixed it so certain perks got extended properly when specced into itā¦ aparently things werent extending at some point. no other news
On a post there was semi-confirmation that the bow is on the list and being looked at I can link the post if you would like, confirmation was from a community mod
thats great news, i believe you.
Here yah go, its more fun to post it.
Gives me my daily dose of Copium
