The misinformation circulating these forums/reddit/global chats etc is pretty widespread. I went and tested the most common ones to see what’s true and what isn’t. Not saying that one of these weapons is better than the other, but it’s definitely not as big of a deal as people make it out to be.
Video TLDR: Firestaff has a bigger hitbox. Bow does not have a significantly faster rate of fire than firestaff. It is slower or faster depending on the type of test.
And Attack Speed should be lower cuz before any mage will get into his range he will have 30-40% of HP. About this dummy is also weird in OPR sometimes arrow turns like they have an active homing system. I checked that weeks ago and in FIGHT situation bow hits faster and harder aiming is also much way easier + staggers, triple shot can take 5-6k HP from medium armor user which cant be if u hit from long distance. Same about Musket damage on 100m needs nerf and should be as it is now on 30-40m. On 100+ m ranges should tickle you not 2-3 shots you… Dont wanna write about endless kite this is also an issue… imo it will be solved after patch with riposte and light armor sodge changes we will see. I have no idea how to balance it without breaking any weapon just point out issues in this game. Playing as pure melee is currently bad choice ( execpt assasin build)
Everyone already knows the FS heavy has a bigger hitbox.
literally every bow thread has a mage complaining about how big bow hitbox is compared to firestaff
They are talking about light attacks though. I’ve seen lots of those complaints and in all the threads it’s brought up that the FS heavy in particular is bigger. Same with Ice heavy.
Compare it on fight situations not dummies…
we are testing projectile hitbox here… it doesnt matter if i test it on a dummy, player, or mob. a player could have a 5x bigger hitbox and the test will still be the same lol
Hmm not really … it depends how it works on players and mobs or dummies… I have played with bow for 2weeks … On mobs I have never noticed issue when my arrows just change flight direction like they have active homing system … versus players it happends pretty often is really weird. About damage per second I think they are similiar, people writing its insanly high cuz they have noticed there was a second bow hiting them or musket simple 
. Bow also has a staggers, weakness and better aiming.
