Bow/ haste bugged + general bow problems

ComedyChris

Hey, ok so. im lvl 45, just unlocked level 50 shadow/assassin/bow i went from a siphon heal build to a pure assassin crit build and everything in between but what im confused about is 2 things firstly, haste, i looked forward to haste and marked target, simply start a fight, and with 2 actives i can lower there def, and increase my offence, but haste doesnt seem to be working with bows at all, the animation is as fast "or slow" as usual and the time between cool downs is the same any clarification on what its meant to do as it doeskin seem to be doing much, if anything.

secondly, bow's in general seem to be doing less dps than my lvl 30-40 sorcerer friends, and about the same as melee dps/tank class's obviously ive sacrificed defense and hp for pure dps and stamina, yet they have similar attack and defence options where i have none... basically are bow builds under-powered or am i just being a cry baby

thanks for any help that can be provided

I use my bow as a way to keep distance when my health is low using Magnum Shot. With Venom Arrow and Swallow Soul it worked well in those 'oh crap, my Concealed Weapon has just killed a mouse and this VR8 now sees me' moments.

I will probably re-think this now the VR are easy.

I'm a bow medium stamina build nightblade and absolutely love archery...currently v4. Wouldn't want any other main.


But if you want to ez mode it or put up top dps numbers light/staff is at the top of the charts.

They need to balance this friggin game already.

Agree but that is not a massive problem, the class is good and once damage is buffed a bit and haste etc actually works then it will be better thanks
