can asylum bow get a buff?

Aliyavana

Its pretty lackluster... something like 25 percent more damage with poison abilities would make it more viable

and what @Nifty2g said "if you want to use the asylum bow you lose out on long shots passive" so a bonus to all poison damage would make it viable in losing a bow passive

Nifty2g

I love that bow because of how counter intuitive it is, like they put it together without knowing bow passives.

if you want to use the asylum bow you lose out on long shots passive

It is fine PVP (mostly ganking) tool. Too late to change it to anything else without punishing people that use it for this reason.
For everything else, there is master bow.

Also long shot passive is crap and does nearly nothing in 99% of combat in this game anyway.

I mean changing it so it can benefit the majority would be good. ganking is a niche build and I am sure they can change it to benefit both gankers and everyone else

Thats not going to happen now. There was 1 month old PTS where everyone said it is trash weapon. If that was not enough to change it, changing it now when people that wanted it got it is not going to happen.

Plus there are bows that benefit all. With 3 of them, there is no or nearly no situation where none of them is good.

The imperfect one is far easier to get than the master or maelstrom one as you can pug nAS as scrub.
But no they will not change it fundamentally now.

Its crap until you get a curse on Z'jhassa the Forgotten and you put down a Ballista that deals 12% more damage.

You have to be careful with that argument. Everyone making a public comment thought destro ult was terribad on pts... and we know how that turned out.

They buffed the crap out of the destro ulti because of that thread. Before the buffs it did less then half the damage of what we have now.

The real loser of the asylum family is dual wield. Eeeeeeew

It's decently effective in PVP. It would be more effective if Snipe wasn't so easily mitigated. But it certainly brings up burst when you can land the combo.

It's pretty terrible though in PVE though I'll give you that.

Eh, would call that still crap given that it is one situation where you are in range, it is one skill you deal damage with and it is probably around 7% increase since it is just another additive %.

Everyone doing that was PVE player complaining about pure DPS/cost numbers compared to meteor. That always happens and will always happen, since you can do the math right in that thread, while getting PVP experience with it (at that time without BGs) on PTS is night impossible.
Everyone doing any math knew instantly this bow is utter crap for PVE. And as for PVP it performs as one would expect.
