Barrier Bows are Useless
Barrier bows are useless the Barrier champ health regenerates quicker than you can draw the bow.

My fellow brethren already mentioned it. Wishender. My favourite all time PvE weapon. Having said that if health generates too quickly with "normal" weapons aka bows in this case then possibly your PL relatively to the activity might be too low. I learnt that when doing all the rank related modifier requirements, with high enough PL these never were an issue.

In general, I don't know why bungie is ok with bows having half the dps as every other primary. I love using bows the most but you are absolutely throwing if you are using them in any instance. We have to keep bringing this up. If they doubled the damage of bows in pve it would just bring them inline with other primaries. A few seasons ago we went from pulse barrier to scout barrier. And pulse was way ahead of other ranged primaries in dps. Everyone was complaining about scout barrier. And then I stated scouts needed a 25% damage buff. They got it and are now usable. Now we need to double the damage of bows in pve.

1 返信If you think about it, EVERYTHING has become useless in the game since Edge of Fate launched. What is the point of a Warlock well or rift if it doesn't protect you? Or a Titans baracade when adds take it down too quickly and it doesn't stop splash damage? Weapons that have various buffs, mods and specific uses, just do not do what they are intended to. The excuse for these huge game changes was that we should feel more powerful as we level up, but, especially since the last big update, I have never felt this weak and non impactful on any character, since I started playing 11 years ago. I think this ties in to the tiny percentage of players who were selfishly crying out for harder content.

Takes too many shots to get the shield triggered and even with KT you are normally waiting on the second shield proc before finishing the champ. For now best to break the shield and switch weapons to finish off. Needs work. Ofc come Renegades we probably won't have AB bows and it will be something truly stupid like sidearms. ;)

[quote]Barrier bows are useless the Barrier champ health regenerates quicker than you can draw the bow.[/quote] Try a lower draw time with a higher reload stat, plus reloader mods on your arms. I personally aim for a draw time of 600 or less, and a reload speed of 40 or more. Good luck guardian.

5 通の返信Personally, I haven't used any legendary bow since the Forsaken Era. They're just Scout Rifles with extra steps. The exotics see more use, but not as much as I would like since they don't interact with the elemental verbs. Trinity would be broken for sure but fun, same with Ticuu's. Lemon works for a Gyrfalcon Hunter but could use a pve damage buff given the deltas.

Best barrier break weapon, in my opinion, is Third Iteration while aimed in. Takes one shot to break the barrier. You could also use arcane needle with Mataiodoxia to easily break a barrier and also add in some unravel on your enemy. I agree that bows as anti barrier is weak but honestly bows are just weak as heck in PvE anyways.

I was struggling with legendary scouts also, was unloading a whole mag and the barrier would return whilst reloading along with their health. If your teammates aren't hitting the same champ whilst you are stunning it, you can be there forever! I've gone back to mint retrograde now as that always gets the job done ... if you have the ammo of course!
