If you look through my post history, I quit the game in March because I’m a bow main and month after month they just took a leaping strike right on my fav weapon.
When the game first started bow was just amazing imo.
So when I seen that bow is actually viable bow of course I had to give it a try. And to my surprise I loved it! I mean new world is still new world and all the bugs are well just new world. But it does legit feel improved.
I like the idea of explosive shot and I think people will use it like they used splinter shot. They will do a stun hop back twice and boom.
But they don’t need to remove stagger from pen shot. Again, if you look through my post history Inwas complaining at the start about how the stun should be like .10 longer so that the stun actually had more value than an interrupt. But w/e. Even as an interrupt I use it ALL the time to help my friends being chased. It’s been the difference between life and death hundreds of times.
It’s weird to take that away and force bow into an AoE DoT meta when DoT in this game is just soooooooo bad. All of it can get cleansed so what’s the point?
Then nerfing poison shot. So at 100% it’s just a normal attack.
Shit bring jump shotting back, that was atleast fun for what it was.
