Came back to NW did some OPR and ho man bow users hits like a truck.
I’m a medium firestaff user and my fireball crits deal the same damage as bowman’s auto attack.
Going to give this bowman mode a try now. What bow do you suggest?

go healer instead

game balancing is a never ending battle and I have no problems pointing out its futility until they finally release all the weapons they will intend to release for quite some time. however considering the game tracks what players are currently using. maybe more people should equip the bow to bring light to the over powered nature of the weapon.

Never tried being a healer. How is it good now? I read some topics and seems like it was recently nerfed.
It is still very good and needed people just dont like when they get nerfed after they worked so hard
Healer is nowhere near good. It’s clunky, and heavily over nerfed to appease bad players.
Healer is constantly nerfed since the beginning
DE is bugged and doesn’t work well. DE’s perks don’t function either. The least used spell in the LS toolkit and was hit with multiple nerfs anyway leaving healers dumbfounded.
SG is bugged and may not even activate while entering CD if you’re hit.
LE was gutted last Update with cast time, cd increase, and 15% decrease in healing power
Both DE & LE have a terrible cast time
Nerfed healers again with an additional nerf adding “Line of Sight” Which is really clunky that hinders you even if the majority of all is within visibility. If the feet are not visible it will almost always not cast.
SG overwrites SG so spamming the same SG on other SG’s you’re hurting your team more than anything.
Healers were forced out of armor diversity with a -60% difference from Light to heavy making only light viable for healers. +30% < 0 > -30%
Expect to be hated by dps in the forums and neglected by AGS 100% of the time. Unless you like running the support role in MMORPG’s I wouldn’t recommend being a healer in this game. This game has no love or respect for the support role.
A healer is only as good as the people they’re healing
I’ve had great success in arenas running medium healer, Orb DE LE/SG, 300 focus 200 con or 350/150. LS/IG or LS/WH
Lots of the healers are upset because the majority were literally unkillable and loved it. Even today, if you play with a rapier you’re still very hard to kill if you play right
Hope you don’t go bow FotM, try something else OP
Enjoy

sustainability of a lifestaff with hatchet,rapier or void gauntlet is insane.
You know you get damage bonus in light armor?
Lazarus Bow from Lazarus expedition is bis (it drops from Cilla). Another good bow you can farm is Creeping Recurve from Genesis (from the first boss). Good luck.
If you prefer to buy, you can look for something with keen and a combination of vicious-enchanted-empowered-jagged. I’m not a fan of chain but people say it’s really good in wars (which I don’t play).
Bow damage wasn’t buffed btw, it’s the same as before. They increased the rate of fire and projectile size.
Please don’t go another bow. It’s so useless in group pvp that I don’t play opr anymore. This crap can be good only in arenas sometimes and it’s king in duels. I’m tired of staying afk in my heals while 10 bow kids shoot outside of the fort! Don’t go another alternative to FS stats pading there’s too many people who do that already
Do that. Then come back and edit this sentence.
Just posted in another thread, OP;

They’re still unbalanced and OP. You can survive a 5 man attack (5v1) for a couple minutes in LIGHT ARMOR LOL. It’s pathetic.
I believe bowmen wanted a slight hitbox increase and mostly fluidity improvements.
Instead fluidity is the same if not worse, and the hitbox increase was overdone. The heavy shot is a good change.
Bows dont hit that hard unless your gear is bad. Full resilient makes you pretty survivable in any armor class. You can also stack physical aversion on top of that, physical gems, and anti thrust amulet.
If you gear right in ur medium you will have bows hitting around 1.5k on abilities and 1k or less on light attacks.
Its mostly annoying that there an abundance of bowmen right now not missing many shots due to the hitbox. You get peppered constantly. A single bowmen aint really a problem.
I jumped ship to tank as I get a kick out of being off-meta. Bruisers and healers still win the OPRS and Wars.
I have a 4 resilient full onyx medium as a mage and still seeing 2k-3k bow hits. Almost the same as my fireball crits but having a 7sec cooldown. My normal heavy attack only crits for 1.5k.
If I go light I would probably get more damage but I rather take 2k bow hits than 3k+ hits on light armor.
