It takes skill but super deadly in the right hands. To say that it is “lackluster” is not exactly how I would describe it. It takes skill to use and challenges you rather than sitting in the back of the map with a sniper or just rushing everything in sight with an SMG or shotty. If I get sniped I’m like okay whatever, respawn but when somebody absolutely melts me before I knew what happened with something like that, I get intrigued. There’s nothing in Destiny that’s exciting anymore, everyone uses the same guns over and over and over. You will always have the “meta” and I’m not knocking players for that, It just comes down to how you like to play, what you’re good with and what you have fun with. You say that players are at a “huge disadvantage” in PvP if they use a bow. That may be the case with certain players with certain skills or players that try to go into Comp solo or that do not know strategies. The same can be said for someone that uses Revoker/Not Forgotten but is not good with either. No, you cannot run wild with a Bow but you learn quickly that Comp is just as much about survival as it is about kills. Do I recommend Titans or Warlocks run bows? Not really, Hunters have the armor and play style that are geared toward them. I don’t care for Bows in PvE, I believe there are better options but to each their own. I tried the combo after I saw the video awhile back but I personally don’t run the Eriana’s combo because of the lack of special ammo. I run Spare Rations/Le Monarque, No Turning Back/Not Forgotten or Crimson/Subtle Calamity, all of which can be just as deadly. Le Monarque negates healing while applying DoT for a few seconds, spreads poison to others and makes for an easy cleanup if you’re working together with your team. Crimson, Spare Rations and NF all have great range and can win close quarters gunfights if needed but not everyone has them and Bows/HCs aren’t everyone’s forte.
