How would bows fit in the equation? Buffing bow damage would only benefit lightweights for with precision frames every iteration of damage, be it double body, double head, head and body is a two tap. Would you give the precision archetype inherent icarus grip like the other precision guns? Make lightweight bows a two tap as well? Make the two bow archetypes do the same damage but the lightweight keeps its current or be it an even lower accuracy stat? Make the choice be either move faster with worse accuracy, or great accuracy be it in air or on the ground? A clan member brought up the point that due to Le Monarque simply existing, bows can't be adjusted (especially charge speed) at all since it would nearly break the crucible which makes me very sad if that be the case. But seriously. How can bows be adjusted if the conversation went to buffing primaries? I love using them (Biting wind or Point of the Stag. I don't use exotics save for Leviathan's Breathe as my heavy) and I don't want them to be left behind in the dust. Increased Accuracy? Handling? Removed reload speed cap? Inherent Icarus across the board?

1 RespuestaPersonally like Bows where they are. Really strong when using Quick Access Sling and a follow up weapon. Most higher tier buffs will let them one tap, including Swashbuckler after a melee They're pretty niche right now, but any strong buffs could make them oppressive. Think that Archer's Gambit could come back without an issue, for those who enjoyed that playstyle

7 RespuestasJust because they mentioned buffing primaries does not mean EVERYTHING will see a buff. Bows two shot to the head. They are fine.

1 RespuestaBows should be nerfed they’re already a two hit kill and bows are for scrubs that can’t aim. Weapons with huge hit boxes like hc’s, bows and shotguns should all be nerfed to head only for crits just like pulses, scouts and autos. Make players learn how to aim and play smart instead of relying on cheap crutch weapons with enormous hit boxes.

The inherent problem with bows is that it's faster to shoot a bow, then switch to another primary than it is to redraw it. Even with Arsenic Bite with Tempo and Draw masterwork, it's faster to switch to a HC for the kill. The only way to improve their efficiency in any way would be to make them 1shot, which would completely break the game in every way.

We have had strong primaries and people didn’t like it
