First off thank you bungie for putting them in the game they are now my favourite weapon type.
So just some musings on the state of bows in the game right now.
I feel like they could do with a bit of love from bungie, a bit more selection, some exotic catalysts, some bow specific mods, maybe a bit more DPS particularly on the exotics, leviathan's breath quest getting fixed, being able to hold the draw during jumping & sliding maybe
An exotic bow with some more functionality would be amazing too, maybe one where we could change the arrow type to suit our activities not just affinity like borealis but maybe like being able to swap tings like explosive Vs heavy or piercing possibly having that tied to affinity eg. Solar mode providing dragonfly, etc or possibly going overload/barrier/unstoppable which would be better imo.
For sure they need a pve buff, for pvp they could all use some love too. I would love it if all bows instantly came with archers tempo, thats such an amazing perk to have for all bows and possibly faster reload so after I make a shot and decide to go for cover my character can knock an arrow in before I’m ready to fire again. I cant tell you how many times I’ve died because I made a slide for cover and then it took an extra second to reload an arrow to then start charging the bow.
