If you come up on a GA that has Bloodlust skill (usually by accident), they could overwhelm your haste buffs.
I have a problem with the hitbox and the rapier.
Bow hits hard and that’s a fact, although I was at 50 con 4x resil so that’s a factor.
However, the issue with the hitbox i find is that it keeps on curving at me. Meaning that even when I’m 2m - 5m away from the spot the arrow is supposed to land, it magically curves and hits me. It has happened multiple times already and it’s very annoying. I don’t mind losing but when you get hit by a shot that obviously shouldn’t have connected it gets frustrating.
And then we have rapier, NW does not have as much chase potential. If your enemy disengages you cannot catch them unless they decide to fight. Riposte, Evade and Fletche allows anyone to move in and out of combat, easily and with very little punishment.

I don’t disagree with the rapier remarks at all. I really only use it when I’m farming materials, because of the great mobility.
But folks that make a build purposefully to be an escape artist via haste, etc then claim they’re OP. Nah. That just doesn’t fly with me. 
You got the wrong spear then, friend. Get yourself a Thwarting Counter spear and use the Unerring Precision perk. You’ll melt those grit users absurdly fast. Especially if you use damage trading abilities like fortifying perforate and enfeebling skewer.
Yes I know, in arenas if u sont have rapier its problem with GA, I try to fight with spear if its not work cuz he is too strong to change to rapier and try to kite him, coop is really important if u have bad comp. its gg anyway. About OPRs bro how GA can be threat to me if it is you are totally out of your good positions? Ofc premade assasins can but here we dont have any good build which can face them, just try to run.
I’ll give you that. And you are 100% correct.
But out of all the spears in play how many do you think have those heaven-sent perks 
Not mine! I’m a potato…remember!
U are wrong. True PvP players adapt to any playstyle and situations.
Usually whiners that scream like kids NERF this, NERF that, NERF everything are not PvP players.
Thanks friend! I do appreciate it
Of course! I found that information out the hard way. I’m used to just clicking through spear users and then this one spear user had the audacity to hand me my own ass on a platter in OPR. When I saw the perks I quickly understood why and now I carry a little bit of PTSD on me every time I go in on people using spears.

About that curve… I’m not sure if that’s just the client trying to sync to the server and just adjusting the visuals to show that arrow hit has you but you had moved on your client from where the server had registered that hit… or something else.
For opr’s some sneaky GA’s would actually swing through the mining areas to see if they could catch some unsuspecting pver’s and if not just to help backcap for the team.
Yeah I know I’ve thought about that too. It’s just so annoying, I’m at the cover already and I’m still getting hit. If I only recorded my games I would’ve posted it here.
I wish I knew how to curve my shots
I do think that’s a client sync issue. I’ve had it happen to me before as well.
Tbh all people need to do is remember this is an mmo and it’s based more on group pvp than individual pvp and that some individual builds will always be better then others and that’s not broken that’s just what you get when you pvp in an mmo.
can we stop saying the bow hitbox is huge when it just looks big cuz of the shitty servers and it’s constant desync. ask for better servers not for nerfs.
they’re hitting ur ghost’s hitbox. if they try to hit ur actual hitbox, they’ll end up missing because of that same desync
I believe Rapier is the problem. I used to play life staff/rapier so I would know.
The problem with bow isn’t remotely close to due to the damage it does or anything like that. Main problem with range weapon as a whole, is combination of light armor and range. (And rapier on top of it.) The ability to kite others is frustrating experience with little ways to counter. So of course players won’t mind exploding them when they reach them. That’s why range is the meta. It has been meta since the release of the game. Catching people has always been a annoying experience.
What a weird flex lmao.
I don’t think they’re OP. I think they are too easy to use. They literally had to double the hit box for scrubs 
Evade has iframes im sure because you can reap during evade and it wont register most times. So its roll then reap if you can afford the stam
