Root on Bow FIX NOW ,CANNOT GO LIVE

General Discussion General Discussion

While I fully agree with you, the thread is about something that was added in the first PTR notes and then either shadow nerfed or bugged after they messed with the Bow code last week!
So yeah, Bow CANT go live this way because this is one of the central reasons why It feels clunky.
Don’t forget that:
1- Fire Staff doesn’t have to ADS.
2- Musket it’s a hitscam weapon that shoots from another zip code.
3- BB is letal on short distance.

So it’s debatable if those weapons need it as much as the bow. But as I’m a supporter of movement and fast paced combat, I think every weapon having animation cancels and mobility is good.

Also the projectile speed on firestaff is faster compared to the bow, which i think balances the issue of bow root.

Yeah, FS have more projectile speed and less project drop. Considering that it doesn’t have to ADS, it’s debatable if it’s vital to have the opportunity to sprint cancel after attack just like the bow was intended to have.
But I would support this idea. Maybe I wouldn’t agree if it was implemented on the BB - let’s be honest, the only way to be alive against a Bunderbluss on close distance is to kill it or run away. The weapon already have the best distance-closer skill in the game with the Hook, if it’s able to shoot you and outrun you, becomes too Op.

Blunderbuss then. Needs to move and aim in very close range but still walks after shots.

Not sure why but it’s indeed intentional.

IMO the 1 second not being able to sprint after fire should be removed from all ranged weapons.

Please stop calling this the “root” though. Those were two separate issues. The “root” that effected bow was that you could not dodge or move after firing a shot. That is the root. (fixed on PTR last I checked.) The slow is what happens to all range weapons.

I mean… they already started during PTR so of course I expect them. Doesnt mean they are accurate.

Don’t you use a rapier though? :l it’s definitely not effecting people who use those as much.

Was the war in PTR? They nerfed shrapnel dmg and altered blast shot.

55

Yea sorry a 8% dmg réduction and 0.5sec nerf on bomb is not enough, people are still getting oneshot in light or medium gear lol

56

On each pellet.

Well…if you’re in light then you’re in light. And I’ve been watching matches for hours now and haven’t seen someone get one shot with it yet unless they had like 50-100 con.

For medium, no they aren’t. But they’re taking massive damage because they’re build for physical defense and most of the BB dmg is elemental.

57

One change that I dont like is I cant go right from pen to poison shot. There is a delay before it can happen. I will have to get use to it. Right now I pen shot and end up hip firing after lol. Im use to fast play and my timing is all sorts of messed up right now.

58

Im getting a bug after shooting a couple shots, that i stay Aimed but no shots, even if i click 5 times, nothing. I have to run then re-aim and shoot. Bow is super bugged rn
