Great idea @EinarOdinson! We’ll note this and pass it along to the development team.

@Relentless_Turnip thanks for your feedback and transparency! We’re always looking for ways to improve the game and we find these comments helpful.

Great video! I know evade shot it’s nice but I’ve been running poison shot instead, and I love doubling it up with my Skewer bleed/Crit Bleed. Those dots smack their cheeks then I can catch them with rapid shot at the end. I run the enfeebling, Penetrating rapid shot, Fortifying perf and keen vault weapon perks.

Used to sweep but with the desync it is pretty easy to dodge it seems.

Thanks mate :grin::+1:

I am running at the moment evade, poison, pen(the gold standard​:rofl:). Still mainly running skewer, perf and kick. Like you I love the bleed and for me the best thing about sweep is its cooldown… You can use skewer and kick to escape roots as well which always seems to help more :person_shrugging: I dropped rapid now, its great sometimes and others it’s frustrating :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I am only running enfeebling skewer and fortifying perforate. I then have shirking energy and 3 X shirking fortify. Seems pretty decent tbh :grin:

Ive run it my whole 900 hours, i have never swapped off of it, use it for both pvp, pve, and wars, yes i named 3 things, shoot me and i use a bunch of “,”.

My opinion, its situational, and with experience you can use it to hit people out of their charges or such and can be usefull in just about any situation

500 dex glass cannon here

I’ve recently been trying 480+ and the damage feels good with bow/spear. It’s VERY risky the get in the mix with mage/ga/wh BUT it does kill then, I also tried 100/str/380dex the spear gets to 1500+ damage and feels strong then but for trade off bow is slightly less powerful.

You’re both crazy :rofl: I’m glad you can make that work and I hope it’s more reward than risk. I would be permanently flattened I reckon :pensive:

1 million damage + OPR’s ;p honestly its evasion / correct placement/ bow shot timing/ use of cd’s and recently using cyclone LOL trust me 150/con is advised lol

That doesn’t suprise me :rofl: I am about 700k if I play well with 150 con. I mainly go to the enemy base and see what shenanigans commence :grin:

since the no down but kill in OPR its much more satisfying to play bow( pen shot through 3 low enemy is a triple kill collateral now), its “clunky” however in many ways if it where smoother the DMG would go up i think.

I’m stuck with 300+ dex and 200 con (with food). Love the sustainability and still output a lot of damage. It allows me to get in the middle of a fight with spear and still survive feeling like I have medium armor in light because of the fortifies :stuck_out_tongue:

23

Yes I agree. I often play with 200 con it’s much easier in outnumbered fights.
I think 150 con is my staple though :grin:

Another one today… There was a lot of open world PvP last night and I had planned to just earn back some gold after buying more gear :person_facepalming:

If Rapid Shot would be cancellable, it would be useful. Now it’s useless in Tempest. Isabella gets you, you see her throwing flames at you and you can’t dodge.
Same with potions. Why can’t I cancel drinking a potion?

26

This part of your statement is unclear. Could you fill me in on it’s meaning?

27

This I definitely agree that it has the enormous possibility to get one killed. At least in reloading a musket one can dodge backward while in the process. While this doesn’t stop the eventual forced use of the reload option it at least grants a bit of distance.

The Bow root doesn’t even allow that option.

28

If you enjoy getting killed by Neishatun hunters mark or by Isabellas fly by, then yes.

I am currently running Pen shot, Poison and Splinter shot (yes). I keep coming back to Splinter shot somehow. The damage potential is so good and in PvE it is quite good. In PvP it has its moments too, but it is very hard to make it really work.

29

This ability is somewhat okay I guess ? Its very situational.
When I roll it I go for evade, Pen and Rapid.
And its a great finisher especially when someones 20-30% and decide to kite till pot CDs are up. With 3 rapid shots and especially the last shot hit with the perk usually wipes them off the planet Aeternum.
Besides that the root does kill it indeed especially the inability to dodge inside of the animation.

Aim down sight. Like shooter stance👍 though I think the buffs we have received are probably plenty for now.
