You clearly don’t pvp and it shows
Don’t get it twisted - I still own on bow, jump or no jump. If you land your shots, its still valuable. but we’re talking about the ADS lock, why tf you bring in heavy shots again.
You arguing for the heavy shot and their “value” shows that you have no clue of bows and how they are used in combat situations, especially vs actually good players.
Again you’re ignoring the point any bow user is trying to make: The ADS lock is breaking the mobility entirely, no other weapon glues you to the ground on your normal attacks like the bow.
Smh keep repeating myself with all these mage mains who suddenly became bow experts,

Dont worry, just expect more bow nerfs, because all crybabys are outskilled from us, in my server i can find only 2-3 bow playera that can kill me, and couple of mages, really skilled and good, there was 50/50 chance, tested it yeaterday ita like 70/30 to them. So i can expect more bow dmg nerfs. 
thats the AGS, they just listen bots in the game and nerf mobility instead adding for eberybody

Can I get 4 dodges in my heavy armor as well? What about jumping after hitting you with a sword or Warhammer ?
Did you know that a FS can’t hit you for more than 1k unless you are in light armor and they use a heavy attack?
BTW, they buffed musket by nerfing bow, which is a good thing. Not because there aren’t enough muskets in OPR, but the 900 dmg a musket deals to me compared to 2.8k a bow does is a joke, now they can at least hit you since you are not a rabbit anymore
Bow can’t heavy attack because it has the slowest cooldown in the game so we have to rely on light attacks, mages have over a 2x fire rate then a bow with a larger hit box, bows hit for 700-800 against heavies as well. There’s barely a difference at all in the damage between a bow and fire staff with us being locked out of heavy attacks. Bows are rooted after every shot. Bows require a zoom to have any sort of accuracy. Love when mages complain when they have all of the benefits x2 compared to the bow. Simple conclusion is, if you lost this often to bow players being the most underpowered weapon in the game, your just bad
I beg to differ, I am tank and if you hit tanks for 900 dmg with a bow, your build needs a rework. nothing can hit me harder than a bow with a ranged attack
A fully charged heavy attack headshot does nothing more then 1600 damage to a tank. Just remember players can’t full charge in pvp because it’s the slowest in the game so we’re left with our 800 damage light attacks. Your just trash

Stop being ignorant and childish, I am not talking about a heavy attack. I am talking about penetrating shot which is an instant skill that does insane damage. The only counter to bow is musket now that they can hit you. You can complain all day about the “nerf” which is actually a fix. Bows are still good, and a bow player can win against any build just by being average. If you think bow needs a buff, maybe it’s not for you ?

Mages and muskets are hard counters to bows and mages aren’t even supposed to be good in single target combat. And everything is a counter actually we stand no chance fighting if someone gets close. So we have to kite. It’s impossible to hit every shot you take and take someone down before they can catch up to you

When did i say Bow needs a buff? All i am saying is “INSTEAD OF TAKING MOBILITY OUT, THEY SHOULD ADD FOR EVERYBODY” and bow dont do 2.8k to heavy armor. I dont want to argue for some bullshit… If you are skilled, every build can beat every other one… When i am bored, i go spear/rapier and i nuke bowers again. And musket still do 2-3k on me, and i run Light armor, because med is too OP, ye can do a lot of dodges and combine with rapier is insane. So its not the BOW nerf, they should nerf med armor… Think before you talk shit. If you go with fishing set out, how much expect you bow to hit you for? Go full res + onyx gems, Voala bow do 800 dmg to you and max 1,2k crit. Change your gear, problem is in you, i am full res light armor running 400 dex 100 con 600GS with BIS perks and i dont do 2k to heavy armor
I think your gear, build and everything need rework… Not the bow build. Go make a Video to proof how BOWer hit you for that much dmg with heavy gear ahaha.
I have been in the top pvp guild on the largest West Coast server holding the best territories for months.
it sounds like the rest of your server is just bad lol

Did you say fire staff hits twice as hard?
What game do you play? Lmfao
For it to even viable, you have to use heavy attacks and run a glass cannon type build. Even then, still outclassed by every other weapon in the game, in terms of dps. All it really has going for it is AOEs and burnout.
yea im not even gonna dignify that with an explanation why and where you went wrong.
ill just leave it at
L2P
Jumping after bow shot was trash gameplay.
Agreed that bow needs some love on the reload animation for sure, but to act like this was anything but an annoyance blows my mind. Glad they got rid of it, but hope they use this opportunity to make bow gameplay more fluid.
