- We dont know if PTR changes are ok or not. We cant test them using our normal builds
- Animation cancels are not an issuel. Issue is hitbox size. Players said its to much and were right.
Meta slaves like Sheno will never understand this common-sense logic.
It does not shot arrows. More sth close to sie of tree atm.
He provided video proof of one person, one time in crafting gear getting hit for a heavy headshot for 7k damage. That was a one shot too. Obviously the healer that died from 7k damage had garbage gear and zero con.
You dont balance a weapon based off a fresh 60 that runs no con. The guy he hit might as well have been naked because his gear and spec was basically the same.
You on the other hand have provided zero proof to your claims and even this video doesnt help you

Im going to throw myself under the bus here and agree with point number 8.
I think a part of me playing bow in opr is that i usually place top 3 in a balanced-ish game and gives me a false sense of contribution unless of course i get 20 kills on occasion.
I think this could be another contributor to people playing bow. Its easier to feel like youâre doing more.
This is also part from my dislike for board chasers. The scoreboard incentivizes stat padding instead of effective plays.
But thats a different topic.

Opinions man, it was fine for me (and other people I talked to). It was harder to play with, but I would still prefer it to how they made it.
This is the main problem. If you look at it from AGSâs perspectiveâŚ
THE PROBLEM: Too many people are playing bow in OPR, but bow does not perform as highly in other game modes and it awkwardly doesnât win OPR games either (it in fact has a negative impact on the teamâs performance).
DESIRED OUTCOME: Fewer bows in OPR.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: Nerf bow (easy) or redo the scoring / reward system of OPR (hard) or create a more robust system for balancing teams (very hard).
They chose the easy route.
Its proof that the gear gap is huge so posting raw numbers is meaningless. Critical thinking is hard dont worry about it.
It has literally nothing to do with OPR scores. Bow is such an easy pick now. Just stay back and crit people for a crazy number especially with the hitbox LOL.
People playing SnS oneshot combo did not play the build because they were in top 3 but because they got to kill people with zero effort, the same as the bows now.
You donât understand. Bow isnât THAT strong (it is strong and def. needed some tweaks, just not the ones we got). Bow doesnât win games. It doesnât over-perform in arena or PvE. If it were OP, you could take a team of 30 bow/spears and 10 healers and win games. But you canât.
Itâs a stat padder. And since you have almost no control over the outcome of any OPR and because you can get steamrolled in 5 minutes (which could affect the rewards you receive)⌠bow is the single easiest way to get a bunch of points, very fast. So people equip the hell out of the bow. AND once there are a lot of them, itâs annoying for someone like you. And I donât disagree. They are annoying when there are lots (mostly because they arenât game-winners so itâs just a clusterfuck isntead of people playing the objectives).
Put another way, if there were 5-ish bows on each team, without changing bow at all from how it is today, no one would be complaining.
All they really had to do was reduce the hitbox by a bit, so it was a little bigger than what it was but smaller than what we have now. And maybe slow the fire rate by just a hair. They decided to go hog wild instead ⌠right after buffing it. Itâs just⌠weird, tbh. I have never seen this balancing style. And I have been playing MMOs for a long time.

gear gap is no huge problem but basic knowledge , new players dont have a clue what they are doing.
some dont even have pots.
Letâs talk about how maney times Great Axe:Greavity well skill have bean nerfed!!
Rapier and many weapons should be nerfed.I watched Dev team played 3 vs 3 Arena,and they even told Rapier should be nerfed.
Either the need to nerf ALL weapons or the need to make all better!!
So just cuz YOU play Rapier the should not nerf it ? i play GA/WA and they bean nerfed ALOT.All can roll/doge out of stuff/Greavity well ect.How about stop that (cuz i play that)
See the point her.I assume you donât
I already said I dont play rapier.
Did Dev say that? Wonderful. Everyone knows they donât play their own game. So many terrible designs. Once a few months they show up for a PTR event to pretend involvement and thatâs it.
Gravity well got deserved nerf. There was no reason for it to do massive aoe damage and X seconds root.

Apparently, you donât play any weapon. You surely donât want to tell anyone what weapon you play. You donât say what your gear score is, how that gear is specced nor the attributes. You have no answer to 8k damage which happens to no one except people in garbage gear and no con. Until you can answer any of this, you arenât really worth listening to.
Life Staff is easier to play than musket? What are you talking broâŚ
Someone else already answered your demands. The guy posted a video where he crits for almost 9k damage. Stop pretending like you are not seeing it? You have no evidence their gear is garbage, do you? I see significant signs of denial here.
I have my favorite weapon, yes, but no matter what I say, you will always find a hateful argument against it, and you know it.
I donât know much, but I do know not to run into the jungle wearing a ham costume.
Maybe screaming nerf on multiple threads gets you nowhere
Sundering riposte into charged heavy should do about 3500 to a properly geared light armor player. Almost 9k damage is definitely because of bad gear.
That guy is aggressively ignorant but this is a fact.

The first video was a light armor player with rend on him. No clue what gear he was wearing. Did he have any resilient? Did he have at least 600 GS? If not then it doesnt matter.
The last video he crit one healer for 7.2k damage with a heavy headshot. Again, nobody knows what that healer was wearing. Was he at least 600 GS? Did he have resilient? If not it doesnât matter. Obviously had zero con because 7.2k is not enough to kill anyone serious.
No other shot was anywhere near 8k damage out of all the other shots he took. So again, show me YOUR armor that is at least 600GS with resilient and show me video of YOU consistently getting hit for 8k damage in that same gear. Otherwise, I am not buying anything you are saying. I watch top bow players all the time and none of them consistently hit for 8k damage on anyone. Its rare as hell if it happens at all which is almost never.
You completely avoided those question and disappeared until someone else posted those. That leaves me to believe you are talking out of your ass and dont have the ability to prove what you are saying is true.
And the very next shot is a heavy crit for 3.6k (half) against a light armor mage. Maybe fortified depending on the SG. He either has only a couple resilient pieces or isnt using thrust gems or both.
Arguing about specific numbers in specific situations is so pointless. I can post a heavy shot doing 776 damage and no one will be convinced to buff the damage.
