I can confirm this. I main bow and there is definitely some clunkiness associated. I have experienced the same issue you mentioned above. Have also experienced the sound and arrow without animation playing. Sometimes Evade Shot does not fire off when pressed.

The other two abilities I use are Poison Shot and Penetrating Shot. Both of these abilities shift you into the Aim-Down-Sight Animation. I find that if I am holding Right-Click, Hitting Shift to Dodge Around and happen to use one of these abilities. That’s when most of the issues start occuring.

Yes! I have to button mash sometimes to get my Evade to function! I had been reading that we should be light/heavy weaving and switch between our spec actions and normal bow shots but I still think it shouldn’t be this delayed. It makes us super vulnerable!

I also have experienced these quite often but the one that I seem to experience the most frequently is after using penetrating shot, I’m unable to aim down sights for about 2 seconds. I can hip fire in this time frame but I cannot aim fire.
