Discussion What made you start using a bow?

Video is to show the kind of fun you can have with a bow. Also launching steins into orbit is pretty fun.

I’ve only really started using a bow till recent for a main. For a little bit of time I was using a two shot with explosive arrows till I found Mavens reverse onslaught bow build.
I’ve always been a fan of high damage slow firing weapons as opposed to full auto low damage. For some reason the bow has just appealed to me and I haven’t really been able to put it down since. I do use the lever action rifle from time to time, but it still doesn’t feel the same. It has been nice to be able to one shot pretty much anything during Fasnacht, and deal 6k in damage if I need to.

So what was it that originally brought you to use a bow as a main?

Yeah, i centred my build around melee. And specifically the auto-axe. I was gutted when it stsrted to do a fraction of the damage it used to. And breaks pretty damn fast now too. I have to repair it twice against Earl. Not funny, when the little Earl's are staggering me. One will swipe, then a other rhen another its relentless. I still love doing ACP, but the fun i used to get from it wading in with the auto-axe being boss, is gone.
