Lol no, people who follow meta are just lemming train, who play only OP weapons. After nerf of weapon they play, they just switch to another OP weapon. Real bow mains will still play bow. Also many players will return, when they will be able to again play some OPRs, without OP bows/muskets.
Nerf bow!
150/200 con bow would like to talk to you
I dont believe in con. It’s against my in game religion.
LOL. I’ve never played against him personally but he farms at least one of the best bow players I know.
That is not true. You can run 150 con with the bow and 3 shot light melee. Light melee is not going to be able to 2 shot you with 150 con. Medium melee is not going to be able to catch you.
That is the problem with the bow balance right now. You can melt melee before they close the gap, you can easily create more distance, and once you get caught you have enough health to survive until you can haste away.
then you’re missing your shots
it’s blatantly false comments like this that are the reason the forums are regarded as a complete meme. the worst part is the devs read these kinds of comments and we end up with the current shitshow that pvp is in right now. there are dozens of people like you that run around with complete dogshit pvp gear and come in these forums and attempt to discuss balance
pvp balance feedback should be taken from actual pvpers with some sort of ELO requirement. there is no way you’re getting 2-3 tapped by a bow as a medium armor bruiser while they have 0 mortal empowerment stacks, assuming you have at least 4 resilient which is mandatory for pvp
That type of comment is the reason I made my meme video haha… the forum is a joke unfortunately and his comment is just one of many that talk like this. Unfortunately the devs do seem to read this crap though…
its not going to happed but bruiser in 2 hits even with bis gear stop lying
how do u know the bruiser is bis? when u looking from a bow guy video ??? I am getting so Zzz of people this days
Ok so do you know what is going to happed to you … u wait in hours for OPR … right now there is max 5 servers alive at this point. So u be here on the forusm Why is there so long ques for OPR at where all the players???.. well u can ask yourself that
The guy may not be the best but for you to call him a meme, im interested to see your bow play. Show us, I might even give you a follow if youre really that good. I play mage but i enjoy watching bow gameplays.
And btw no one runs below 600 in opr
50 con light melee can’t even two shot a 100 con bow that has barely any slash resistance. Whereas a bow can two shot a light melee who has 35% thrust resistance. Make it make sense.
IF yall can’t see an issue with this. Your delusional. The GS is ABSOLUTELY Busted 100% objectively busted and bow still does more damage.
Dude you hit had like 1 hp left. How do you know he had 100con? Either way he could have had shirking fort procs or other buffs.
You were in Onslaught stance with 50 con in enemy backline. Amazed you didn’t get 1 shot. Can’t see the buffs on the dude hitting you but bet he had ME stacks.
You also hit at least 1 other player. You have much better AOE than bow.
LOL this player here is so bad… he trying to a hit a person 2000 meters away LOL!
I mean u run paper so he does good dmg. I do duel light armor 200 con mage with top eu bows and they dont hit that card when u have 200 con ![]()
But i agree that bow dmg might be little to good. If - then not much imho. 5-10% max.
That’s not what you can hear on forums but when you hear talks in guilds a lot of people at least tried bow and said that aiming is the hardest thing or gameplay was the hardest thing for them so they came back to melee - not only because of that but also because melee builds are the only builds usable and very good in all scenarios - OPR, Wars, PvE. Lower effort, bigger reward.
