The first image you see, there it is again, a group with a tank, mage, dual wielder and a RANGER! A RANGER!
I was trying to play ranged since I started this game and you cant be a ranger here, becouse the damage is low and nobody wants you in the party because of that. If you want to be atleast close to "normal" DPS, you have to be gear to maximum and click&click so much it hurts your finger and even after that, your damage is "normal". I dont want bow to be secondary weapon, or starter weapon. I want to have bow as main and be ranged only ... like mages. (And no I dont wanna hear that it would be OP ... other MMOs have ranged only too and I dont see they would have a problem there)
I am pissed how Zeni makes these images like "this is the right group" yet you cant, becouse... you just cant.

✭It's basically an advertisement image for the DLC. The artist you question is just including a variety of characters and builds for anesthetics and storytelling. I guarantee you the graphics wont look that nice either.

I also wish that bow/bow could work as well as staff/staff or whatever. As for the picture, because players do use bows as starter/secondary, the picture isn't really deceptiveIGN @ emilypumpkin

I have a bow/bow character that I enjoy playing often. I can do decent damage in Vet but haven't tried trials. The problem I see with folks and bows is they just spam LA's and wonder why they have poor DPS. SO the "You Can't" is just short sighted. If you enjoy playing ranged then play ranged. Don't miss the fact that this is a game. Have fun.
If this is truly a troll then my apologies for feeding it.

Agreed. I'm a stam sorc, yes bow is my back bar, but point is, in response to OP, yes bow builds can work.
I can do 20k+ single shot dps with my bow. Just keep trying different gear sets and skill combos.
Good Luck! I too like being a archer and yes it is possible in this game.

Group leaders do.
Learn to bow/bow and prove them wrong then? It's definitely not impossible to do vet dlc content with bow/bow setup without letting your group down.
I can't believe someone is raging over an advertisement picture...smh.7 -

With what people can do with Builds I don't see how they can't make a pure Bow build work. Endless Hail, Caltrops, Rearming Trap, some class skills here and there, and weave Snipes and Poison Arrows. The problem is most people who do use Bow as their main weapon only ever bother to fire off Light Attacks and maybe a Heavy once in a while, thinking they're doing good.Edited by ArchMikem on January 10, 2018 5:33PMCP2,100 Master Explorer - AvA Two Star Warlord - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

I tried builds, but they result in lower dps anyway. And skill like catrops and etc, these are close range and you cant go closer range, becouse then you lose bonus damage from "long attacks passives"1
