I get that, just sadly, you are better off sending 1-2 GA/Hammer users to the back line and they’ll murder/distract everyone far more effectively then a musket will.
That is the problem with the game right now, GA/Hammer is just insane, they just do everything better. Besides tanks and heals, no reason to run anything but GA/Hammer.
I can see your frustration, but I don’t think the issue is quite as simple as you think it is.
We have a small company in our faction that is specialised in Musketry (who unfortunately weren’t available for the last war). You probably won’t hear from people like them on here though. And I think, for the sake of future Musket users, that’s a real shame tbh.
Probably had the buff, makes people nearly immortal lol. But yes bc of running heavy and resi/onyx, bow dmg is honestly pretty pitiful for what it requires.
I have 315 dex, oricalcum arrows and a 578 GS bow and some headshots with all my bonus damage does not even 5 % damage on enemys with heavy armor and good perks…
But well, resilence and onyx stones are broken atm… If that gets fixed, it should be way better…
Things go even worse when you realise that most of these streamers are actually playing THIS for a year and still having a “SUPRISE FACE” because they don’t know what to play to get viewed anymore. Im dead serious, Windwalkers have literally the same oneshots for a year, same condemn warriors.
Bpw/spear works well behind front line. Shoot/aoe and jump on the guys that generally wreck the backline. Arrows hitting for 800-1000 on Frontline, probably not super geared folk, but that’s ok.
Lifestaff/debuff hatchet is another fun build to use in OPR. Never see enough heal debuff clouds out there.
DID YOU JUST SAY ARROWS DONT SCATHE GREAT AXE USERS? That just shows me you dont have any pvp experience. bows can crit 8k. thats ONE SHOTTING a gaxe user LMAO!! GAXE NEEDS A BUFF. life staff users hit 1800 light attacks, my gaxe light attacks with 300 str are only 1200s lmao. theres no reason a gaxe should hit lower than a healing weapon.
as for war hammer just get good, its easy to dodge the stuns. you probably just suck. sucky people shouldnt be able to post in here because you ruin pvp for good players. every dps weapon hits 2 and 3 times what my gaxe does. including a healing weapon lmao
