Exotic Bow With Crazy Fast Draw Time!
Please? Snipers get to have all the fun, and I want to live out my Legolas/Robin Hood power fantasy! Um... I'll pay you? xD
Edit: everyone mentions Hush, but it's too inconsistent. Not good enough. The meta could use more competetion than it has. Try using Hush against any of them, and you'll probably die.
Hush vs Luna/NF? Dead.
Hush vs Revoker? Dead.
Hush vs Last Word? Dead.
Hush vs Chaperone? Dead.
Hush can't stand against close range weapons, long range weapons, and it often struggles mid-range.
It doesn't hold up, and that's unfortunate. There isn't a bow that can kill someone one shot, and that's fine. A low impact bow with a draw time of 300-400 isn't game breaking. It's competetive.
Re-edit: Okay, in all fairness, Hush is usable outside of a Crucible context.
I'm referring to using it in Crucible.
The issue I have with Hush, in Crucible, is that it requires a shot before activating the faster draw, and getting that requires substantially closer distance than most bows need.
Moreover, as someone who plays Crucible 80% of the time, I can accept that a bow will generally lose in a close-range battle as well as a long-range battle.
What I want is a bow that draws fast (i.e., allowing me to shoot a bunch of shoots quickly), so I can dance around combatants with a flurry of arrows.
As it stands, I can't efficiently fight multiple combatants with a bow because of how slow it is.
Again, I'm not saying Hush is bad, but I definitely can't do what I'm envisioning for the scenario I have in mind (i.e., playstyle) with any of the current bows.
I can do this with other weapon types, and we do have a diverse array of other weapons (i.e., an assault rifle that acts like a shotgun; assault rifles that behave like sub-machine guns or ranges on par with pulse rifles; etc.).
I appreciate everyone's respectful participation. Past our disagreements, I think important points are made, and it clarifies the requirements of any idea.
Also, jeez, this post got massively larger than anything I've posted before, so my apologies. xD

You are asking a lot from a compound bow.

1 ReplyYou’re saying hush is bad because it can’t easily counter a beyond max range shotgun, a sniper, and the best primary in PvP right now?

3 RepliesWhy are you using a bow in a CQC environment? This litterally the dumbest argument for a fast firing bow. Hush is great and highly underrated imo Use it most of the times in raids. Opening shot does 90% of the work for you, Stop fighting the bow and actually use it in its intended range...

That's why I like spiteful fang. It can roll with both minimum draw time (which is 600 by the way) and archers tempo which as far as I can tell is the fastest draw time for a bow (except for hush...). It's also the only bow I know of that can have archers tempo with explosive rounds, which can be very clutch when trying to use a bow up close. It even causes a double flinch due to the delayed explosive effect. I would totally dig an exotic rapid fire bow though! Maybe something like... Arcem Argentum Exotic rapid fire bow (solar) Draw time 600 Intrinsic perk: Thrill of the Hunt- successive hits with this weapon decrease draw time. Stacks 5x. Precision hits cause burn damage Exotic perk: Artemis strike- Precision kills create an explosion that causes burn damage to surrounding targets

Maybe a genuine crossbow weapon.
-
Yes! I totally agree with this post. I feel like if rocket launchers can have cluster bombs or a fusion can have tracking then my bow should definitely have those perks as well.
-
20 RepliesI would like a one shot bow, if mountaintop can go around one shotting players and doesn’t even need crits to make it happen, why cant we get a bow that can also one shot other players but requires landing a critical hit? It makes no sense whatsoever to allow the current balance we have now, bows are not as good as people think they are, they might deal tons of damage but their ttk is actually slower than scouts
-
Hush is complete trash. I know its not PvP meta even for bows but I love using subtle calamity. Just feels so solid to fire.

4 Repliesi like the idea. We already have slow powerful exotic bows, but i think a super fast bow would be great. to make it balanced, it would have low impact, but high accuracy and range. In addition it would also have a fast draw time. Maybe somewhere around 300-400. This could be the last word version of a bow, which is something thats unique and not in the game. The closest thing that we do have is Hush, but you have to get precision hip fire hits on targets in order to take advantage of archers gambit. So to wrap things up, a fast drawing exotic bow, that can be both hip fired and aimed really fast would be a very decent bow. like I said before it would need to have low impact to be balanced, but it should have unique perks like every other precision shot temporarily gives a damage buff to the next shot fired. maybe introduce arrows that ricochet and bounce off walls. Or maybe introduce a perk where you could hold the reload button and fire 3 or 4 arrows at once.

i like my bow how it is, the draw time takes practice but you learn how to prefire and arc arrows in a clutch, and the massive damage on full draw is super op when you pop in and out of cover or pair it with lucky pants.. all of this ignoring the huge outplays you can make by jumping around with icarus on it

2 RepliesDoesn't Le Monarque has snapshot?

Fast draw times are shit in pvp
-
5 RepliesHush... but it’s a pain on console.
-
6 RepliesTry the Spiteful Fang with QuickDraw, Snapshot, and Handling or Charge Time Masterwork. You’ll thank me after PvP
-
2 RepliesHush kinda does this but it only let's you rapid hip-fire.
-
Hush. It’s legendary too which makes it more lit
-
Edited by W33DEDPLAGUE: 9/9/2019 4:23:54 AMHush is pretty close to that when you get used to it. I love that bow. Arsenic Bite with the right roll can be very fast too.
-
3 RepliesNot that this matters, but we’re still due an energy Solar bow and it would be nice if it was a different archetype. Although, Bungo hasn’t exactly been known for giving us the third element in a series of weapons, Exotic or otherwise. That said, I am curious to see if the Exotic heavy bow is gonna be a one-shot kill in Crucible.

Hush already kinda satisfies that. It fires real quick.
