Hello, I've noticed some huge inconsistencies while using the new Monarque exotic bows. As it's stated, on a perfect draw arrows should apply poison, and on precision hits trigger an AoE explosion; however, the perk does not work properly when hitting enemies over long distances, sometimes even at medium ones.
I've tested this extensively using Oathkeeper gauntlets which guarantee perfect drawing every time - thus eliminating human error on the perfect draw - and both the damage over time and the explosion seem to not trigger at all when the enemy is far away, which is a shame considering bows are excellent at those distances.

11 RepliesThe full description of the Poison Arrows perk is: [quote]Arrows fired [i]quickly[/i] after a full draw become poison arrows. Precision hits with poison arrows spread poison to nearby enemies.[/quote] In other words, if you wait for too long, the Poison Arrows perk will not trigger.
