Age of muskets (last 8 months) tells a different story. There will be a reduction in bow/firestaff in three months when the revamp a new meta.
This is a terrible way to run an mmo
I’m done replying to someone this delusional and/or deceptive.
Bow is getting 30%-40% nerfs to multiple talents, 35% damage nerf to evade shot, and losing the stagger off of rapid shot. You can try to make an argument this isn’t enough, but to say they’re not getting nerfed is straight up false.
It’s not broken, you just need to improve your skill. Find a better build or adjust it if there are a lot of bows in one match. You can’t play hammer/axe and expect it to be a one size fits all for every situation.
Historically most MMORPG players always choose broken DPS classes (in the case of NW “weapon”), it happens in all MMORPGs.
Here in the NW it’s no different, that’s why the game is full of bows and muskets.
And that’s the current problem with NW OPRs.
If they don’t remove the movement speed perma and passive, and that they can shoot from a safe distance with accuracy, nothing is going to improve in NW and the OPRs will still be inundated with arcs.
