i agree bow is soo bad they crosshair is wrong the arrow comes out from different directions depending if you are moving left or right and theres a delay after you shoot + the speed of the arrow is slow + time it takes to shoot again is so much and you cant kill healers they just stand there and ignore you and forget about tanks lol and thats like 80% of the enemies and then a mage comes without needing to aim and wipes the floor with you lol theres a reason why everyone using great axe + hammer or life staff it feels like these are theonly weapons and healers ofc using heavy armor and can still heal the same is so stupid healers in this build of the game are even stronger than tanks 1 healer can delay 5-9 enemy players and its impossible to kill a healer solo i really agree with you that the devs dont play this game

and in ptr they added different zoom sensitivity to the musket when you zoom in but the bow still uses the same 360 when you zoom and theres no setting to adjust the musket zoom sens like wtf

You play some totally weird weapon combo and complain it doesn’t work? o.O Try something decent instead: bow+spear, bow+rapier; hell even musket+rapier is better than bow+musket (although musket is meh in general (just a weaker version of bow)).
Bow is optimal at mid-close range. Without a melee weapon with mobility/cc you can’t realistically be at that range and survive. Might as well just play only musket then if you’re staying only very far away, but then you would want the rapier to actually keep that distance.
Not to mention that to play musket, you absolutely must go 0 const build. At that point you most definitely can’t play close range. While for a bow you want to have at least 100 const instead of that int. Bow and musket really don’t fit together in a build.

Im still murdering people left and right on war with my sniper musket/bow. Granted it’s not that easy, but once you find their soft spot, it’s pretty much free real estate for the rest of the match.

And with the ptr changes, it will be the same routine but with higher body count :smile:

You can’t be serious, musket and bow aoeing down?
You have even a clue wtf are you talking about?

I do bow to people with a lot of experience in wars as I am on a low pop server and havent seen a single war in living memory. But werent muskets taken to wars in order to take out anyone in a siege or at least force them out and targetting healers to force them away from healing melee to themselves. Not trying to shoot a tank on a cap point receiving heals from 10 healers?

Pvp guilds don’t even bring musket players to wars.

Bow and spear users in my server are top killers and damage dealers. Not sure what you’re on about.

Genuine question, have you actually used them? Bow specifically, it is so clunky and takes 2 seconds per heavy shot, right now bow is the worst weapon in the game unless you’re somehow cracked enough to hit every single headshot, and then if you are it becomes mid tier, the DPS on it is so low down it’s not worth building unless you reallt want to use bow, fire staff does more per light and heavy attack alone than the bow does heavy light and abilities, right now the weapon is bad, not worth using, Amazon games did not go in the right direction with it, high damage per shot doesn’t automatically make it strong or good, it’s still shit

Please use the bow for more than 5 minutes then see if you still agree with what you said.

Ever since last patch opr is 90% ranged players……

Yes and no, proper glass Cannon can kill everything that doesn’t have 200con + medium max/heavy meta in 1 burst.

In Alakapuri AP southeast, winning team is still consist of 10 GA con user + 5 meta healer + random since you can’t do anything to these type of formation unless you are IG toilet user

Don’t bother getting worked up responding to See_Me. He likes to irritate people and shove his opinions on them. Just look at his attitude in other posts. If you like Mini-Maps you are a cheat, if you use the Rapier you are a cheat etc. Ultimately his view is righteous and any other is nonsense being spouted by Heathens that need to burn.
Debating with him achieves nothing but a headache.

Im already a menace in OPR with my musket, this musket buff is gonna make me straight up deadly.

Same here, useless, troll weapon, they kick people for using that garbage, and they 100% deserve it.

AoEing with what? Muskets sticky bomb? LMAO. Oh wait, no, we can use bows rain of arrrows. Oh nvm that got a radius nerf on ptr. Hmmmmm please tell me what aoe i have to spam on point? I’m sorry, we aren’t mages that get our cds back by just spamming heavies into blobs.

ive used all weapons except rapier

yeah its got nerfed because it was straight busted. musket bow is a nasty aoe damage dump.

you obviously do not play this game

I can’t speak for bow, but musket is fine minus a few obvious and overstated issues. With the right perks, stat allocation and rotation, you can reach out and touch just about anyone with complete impunity. Ok, maybe not full tanks, but you can definitely worry them to the point where they FO.

In wars, muskets should be shooting at cannons or counter sniping the guys shooting at yours. You will never be “omg look at the boards” level, but you add value if you play the weapon right.

Musket will always require more effort and skill, but it definitely has utility.

If you want to get your name in the paper, you should stick with the meta whathaveyou builds.
