Is our single damage output so low as were meant to be support?
We have pen shot, as our big hitter. I’ll hit other bow/musket users for 4-6 but everyone else from 1-2. Is this intended?
Why do we get hit in our ability animations, yet melee do not? It adds to the lack of mobility of the bow and makes it very hard to hit people but easy for us to be hit.
Is the intent that you need Lazarus to dual with bow? I have 625 Legendary but the DMG is still so low.
Why is our mobility so bad? Thats what we need to survive. The only thing we get is light which is available to everyone?
Why is the hit box not the same as fire staff? Or at least slghtly larger and aiming not skewed to the left?
Why do we not get insta hit like musket?
In which situation does the bow have an advantage in range vs musket or fire staff?
These are all genuine questions which I’d like to know, so I can make a call on whether to continue with it.
You get evade shot, haste after using evade shot, and haste on swap, dodge or both. It’s not nothing
Because fireballs are fat idk. I would love for the arrow to go to where the middle of the reticle is though. Although that would make headshots a bit harder I would think since the reticle is so…big.
Why aren’t all other ranged weapons like that? Because it would break the game probably I’m already having war flashbacks.
First staff vs bow can probably go either way, but FS does have the superior fire rate I think. As for musket, your advantage is that as a bowz you probably aren’t running 5 or 50 con, and you also have the option of being in med.
I can ask myself, a melee, do I get hit with arrows while reverse stabbing or something. The answer is yes. During light attack Chain? 100%. If they didn’t hit me during animations I would literally light attack forever until bows left me alone
Idk. While I’ve been hit with a fireball for half of my HP, I’ve also been “double shot” in the head with a normal then own shot for like almost all of my health. I think that bows do more damage, but fire staffs damage is just way way way more consistent.
Why bow is the only weapon that self inflicts CC in this game?
why the “bow balance” is taking so long? When you guys decided to no nerf and instead buff gravity well it took only one week. When you guys decided to nerf the bow damage 20% and implement the root that killed the weapon it took only one week! WHY THE BOW BUFF ISNT COMING??
bow with hitscan - no
faster travel time with arrows - yes
flat damage with bow - okay
perks for bow - trash, need to apply rend or disease
rework skills (splinter, rain of arrows, rapid shot) - yes
remove root after shot - yes
animation cancel while aiming - yes
This is due to everyone crying wolf over an outdated xaryu video. Root after shot is a massive nerf. bow rapier is still nearly unkillable if u play correctly. Given how badly both of these have been nerfed, it may destroy some of your offensive capability.
FS has huge hitbox and did before buff. Hitbox was an unnecessary buff. Arrows being skewed off center is something I noticed recently and is insanely annoying!
You do not have advantage over any range build. FS can do more pressure from the same range with a larger hitbox and faster fire rate.
