How should bows be tuned?
Hello Guardians, lately many people have been calling for bows to be nerfed due to their high burst damage output as well as the constant peek shooting being annoying to play against. I am curious as to what peoples opinions are as to how they should he tuned?
If we look into it, the reason why bows have to peek shoot to begin with is due to their slow TTK, being at roughly 1.14s after the first shot. Currently their is a drawtime and reload speed cap at 540ms and 500ms respectively (nocking delay is 100ms and doesnt change). What if we reduce the drawtime and reload speed caps to be 440ms and 300ms respectively. This would bring the TTK to 0.84s, bringing it in line with other weapons and allowing bows to roam out in the open more confidently (Of course this will allow them to be more easily gunned down too).
In response to this change, they could reduce the precision and body shot damage such that you need 2HS or 1HS/2 BS for a kill. Aim assistance would also need to be reduced a bit to rely on better aim to achieve the proper TTK. What are your thought or opinions?

1 ReplyBows don’t need to be touched. People who don’t know how to play against bow users, and probably never try a different load-out are the issue. This game needs less weapon nerfs. Bungie seems to always over nerf as it is. If you really want to “fix” bows or any weapon in this game: Apply real world damage and mechanics to them. Bows would then be great at mid-long range. They would hardly do any damage at short range. You could then apply this to all weapons. Anyways bows are fine, people just have to play smarter.
