Imagine losing with a fire staff where u can literally attack with ur eyes closed and hit ur target with ur massive hit box. Light armor cant be touched with a bow, and fire staff literally cant miss. (literally just hitting through trees as well LOL thats how big the hit box is, it just still hits you if it lands around the tree youre behind)
Btw bow users have the movement speed increase from swapping weapons and then from dogging, so 20% movement speed. how do i start running 100 yards away from a greataxe user and hes literally right on top of me in 5 seconds lol like i guess other weapons are just ferraris.
Fire staff users i can only imagine them in real life, the people that hate challenge and aways take the easiest route in life. Lol just funny and pathetic if you think pvp is a big thing in this game.
I’ve seen people do well with bow/spear, but it certainly feels like you have to be really skilled & experienced to beat even an average player of another build. I’m pretty abysmal at PvP but playing with a great axe, I can strafe & dodge towards a bow player and they’ll miss 90% of their shots. Dodging their spear CC is pretty easy, but if it fails the GA lunge easily closes the distance.
Bow/spear is plenty good just not awesome against specifically mages since spear has no mobility. I play almost exclusively spear/bow but do swap spear for rapier when I’m trying to fight a mage for the 10x mobility. Just gotta counter the counter but ofc easier said than done if you get caught with your pants down/can’t find 2 seconds of cover.
Also imo if you’re having trouble landing the majority of your bow shots you should probably swap musket. Bow and musket shred light armor targets pretty hard but musket is a lot easier to reliably connect with.
