When you reach a bow player and explode him you guys dont seem to mind.

Fact!
PVPers will always complain because they think they are the best and then find out they are trash. They whine and complain to get you nerfed instead of figuring out how to fight back instead. Sadly game companies give in to this crap all the time.
There is a reason I don’t PVP.

Some people, i can avoid most shots and get out of the way at crucial moments. But some, i dare say the upper crust, i just cannot get out of the line of fire.
I don’t think the bow itself is the problem, some people are ridiculous with it, but that doesn’t mean the bow is broken.

That’s my point, we got to give credit to when we get outplayed by a sweaty pvper who PVP’s 8 hours a day and when it really is OP.

I agree.
It’s far and away different than when GA/WH was the noob tube with the lunge. It didn’t matter how good you were, you were gonna get clapped if they were left clicking.
That was busted. Bows are not.

Evade Shot feels like it has some iframes that aren’t stated in the description, but that’s about the only issue I have with bows.

I think so too, it seems to ignore reap.
They just need to put a little jink or juke in their step. The bow is extremely powerful in the right hands. If you’re in an OPR with several good bow players well damn, you’re gonna feel picked on. 
I do have an issue with the hitbox. I can see a long-range arrow coming toward me, so I take two normal steps to the right and it still hits me. Maybe without the larger hitbox, the bow would be too high a skill requirement on what I think is the weapon that requires the most skill to hit consistently. /shrug What do i know, i use a musket.

No bro bows are extremly powerful, too high mobility, high damage its extremly annoying how long you can run away if u have light armor and rapier with it. Combo with spear is also too overpowered, you deal damage on very long distance when someone get close you put on him rends, you have ataggers, stun, knockdown and extremly high fortify for 6s ! This must be nerfed. Spear and bow both, with those 2 weapons everything become really easy …

Bows themselves have horrible mobility. The only mobility a bow has in a “normal” build is evade shot, and that’s really not that great. If you’re talking haste…that bow player is crippling their damage to be able to run. So not the best option. Rapier (for me) is only used when farming materials for the mobility. Spear? Grit, dodging, stuns, LMB clicks are all proven counters to spear.
Oh I also forgot slows, and flamethrower.
I know, I know. Super spicy take.

Sword/shield Great axe eats bows, its all situational and skill based though. Just close the gap.

Those that complain about bows being op must be willing to list their armor set. Also, are they sure it’s just the bow or is it the rapier?
Bows were fine back when they took skill to use.
Arrows now have the hitbox size of a beach ball. Bow players can absolutely whiff shots 5m to the right or left and it’ll still register as a hit.

Evade shot has a gear perk that allows them to recover stamina but against a GA it’s not much. Especially if the GA is watching for the evade shot so they can reap you. Evade shot also requires quite the skill shot to pull off successfully.

Ranged guys in general dont pay attention very well, you can always flank them. I run up behind them all the time they haven’t a clue. If you dont want to get hit so much, find where they are and stay out of their los before you camp out at the fort door with your ice gun, you’ll be fine.
Bow has good mobility lol xd 10% after dodge, 10% after change to bow it’s haste unlimited haste. Easy to run away with we combine it with rapier and LA it’s the fastest build currently.

Which I addressed. If bow players are taking those perks in their tree, they’re hampering damage.
So they’re not killing you…you’re just mad you can run up on them and play whack-a-mole?

I have not lost many damage less than 10%. I still hit 1,3-1,5k with normal attacks. 5-6k with triple shot if I hit everything. Spear ? Please stop talking about you can dodge it xd You can dodge everything reap, maelstorm, gravity no weapon has 40% fortify … and 42% rend bro please … You can also stagger FT and knock him down. PS. Yes I also play bow and many ither builds currently bow esp. in 1v1 fights is really OP.
