I may get alot of hate for this but combat bows need a MASSIVE overhaul, like in what content are they even good at anymore. PvE they are massively underwhelming, all traits on them are just way better on literally every other weapon. They just don't deal enough damage in a sandbox where primary ammo weapons tickle enemies in high end content at how poorly balanced the sandbox is making everything tankier. The whole point of the lightweight and precision frame is ridiculous, it's great if 2 different archetypes of weapon do different things like every other weapon family, but these 2 literally just do the same except one is quicker but for way less damage which is just pointless in the sandbox in general. Now to PvP, where I will get the most hate for this. As a bow user, lightweight bows are just pointless, they'll never be picked. Bows in general have the absolute worst TTK in game, the risk reward isn't worth it in a sandbox where abilities and pulse rifles dominate, they don't flinch for there life and dueling with them is pointless, you can't use them at long range as you would expect cause there falloff was reduced down to around 35 meters. Where the meta of 40m pulse rifles and aggressive handcannons is everywhere. Why can't we get damage perks where we can build them into a one shot weapon like we currently have this week thanks to tungsten bowstring mod. My thoughts for bows are that all these strings and draw times are pointless, obviously having the fastest draw time is going to be the only choice. Why not make draw time like charge time, where increaseing the draw time gives the bow more base damageand less drawn time reduces your damage, just like fusion rifles with liquid and accelerated coil. We definitely need a readjust to the damage numbers in both PvE and PvP so they feel better balanced in both sandboxes and I'd like them to be way better at dueling against other weapons. That's my rant over, I hope this finds someone at Bungie who also thinks bows are too overshadowed in a sandbox dominated by the same 2 weapons, handcannons and pulse rifles in PvP
