I love the Bow changes

With all this hate on the forums can we stop and appreciate that Scatter Shot is now max range. Meaning after 4 years we have a spammable that does not have a cast time. I read that and still am on cloud nine.

Argonian Archer since day one. Through hard times and big buffs.

I'm very happy with the range change, but Draining Shot is not a worth while spammable. It does significantly less damage than Crushing Weapon or Cutting Dive. It will be much more functional in PVP, and provided a buff for the Blackrose weapons possibly have a worthwhile dot effect.

I would go with Magnum Shot more damage and knocks you back, very useful to stop someone that’s charging you. They land where you were it was okay in the pass but with this range increase it will be back on my bar for sure.

The self knockback on magnum I find more inhibiting than helpful.

Shut your mouth! They gave SS max range? Man they are hitting on most cylinders with this upcoming patch.

It does take getting used to but I love it.

Right not everyone is happy I don’t like all the changes but they were all needed.

The change sounds great.

I do think bow needs its snipe projectile to be 2x faster though. Kinda cheesy firing up to 2-4 snipes in high latency peak hours.

After that i think bow will be nice

Will try max range draining shot for sure.

Shame cost poisons nerfed into the ground though.

Uh.... I always used the Fighter's Guild Silver Shards as a spammable on an archer. Not only does it do a lot more damage and has the full 28 meter range, but it also deals decent AoE damage AND increases your weapon damage while slotted...

Why on nirn would anyone use Draining/Magnum Shot as a spammable?

It's a utility skill... I still love the 28 meter increase cause it stuns. But come on...

Why would you use silver shards over snipe? Is it the cast time?

He didn't say he doesn't use snipe. He might use it as an opener in PVP, and will look to reapply during a fight when possible.
Anyone stood in a field hitting snipe over and over will be the first one to die.

Exactly. I still use and prioritise snipe. Whenever I open on a target and/or know that I'm safe to do so and target isn't aware.

Don't underestimate the power of Silver Shards, it's a great skill if you incorporate it in the right ways. It's almost like a ranged surprise attack with extra AoE capabilities. AND it shreds WWs (Lethal + Shards combo

) and Vamps in PVP.

I see. PvP. I have no input on that but in pve, you don't need 2 spammables and in
if you mean an AOE spammable, acid spray is strictly better, full damage to all and scales with the bow light attack passives.

This is a PVP vs. PVE issue again. Arrow Spray has a <28m range and this is a problem in PVP as it isn't increased by Battle Spirit, that said Bombard is ok as it reveals sneaking players and immobilises them.

I run Marksman for sustain so any Bow attacks get a 8% damage buff I have DBoS for the FG buff. Plus bow attacks get a buff based on distance so hitting near max range (the way I fight) Magnum is better for my build. Shards is great tho.
