I feel slightly persecuted that I have to justify my vote when others don’t

Yes, I respect bow users way more than the flying templars who just spam jab.

I didn't know others respecting my choice in weapons should affect what I play...

[Edit to remove bait]

I'd better! My PVP Stam Warden uses 2H/bow.

Depends on the bow user. If it's so their stamina build can reliably engage fleeing enemies or targets at range during a siege that's one thing, but if all they do is hide and spam Snipe hoping I'll die to that single ability being spammed I don't respect. It is fun to go mistform and charge after such individuals though as you see them back pedaling hoping just a few more snipes is enough to finish you off not realizing you're negating 75% of its damage now...

Hate to break it to you but your big secret is pretty common knowledge and anyone and everyone knows when you go into mistform it's negating most of the damage.
And if you charge me with your mist form I'll just wait until you get next to me and pop out to start your attack combo and then I'll light you up with 40K damage from Toxic Barrage.

Nowhere did I say it was a secret, and I didn't tell you the rest of my plan which includes Coagulating Blood which is bar swap animation cancelled followed by a light attack + Fossilize. Another thing I do is since Swarming Scion is on the same bar is I pop it and proceed to take advantage of the power it gives me.

Bow/bow 4 life.

I respect all play styles included the crazy necro with 110k health.

haha funny survey, someone seems to be unhappy that he became too squishy investing all in the damage required to be able to "execute" an opponent in seconds.

If my bow kills you, work on your defenses.

Because I use a bow... We're not all spam snipers you know 😄

Are you talking about bow/bow users or people who use bow as their primary weapon? In that case, I think it's cool that they're trying to make a unique playstyle work. And it's even cooler that their damage and survivability are awful, so they can be easily killed.
Snipers can be slightly annoying, but I don't really mind them.

In the case of stamblades it's completely viable to backbar bow...so I guess that means I respect the playstyle.

I will admit they can be a pain to fight against, especially Nightblades attacking from stealth pulling you off your mount but they actually make a point to fight you, can't count the number of times I have been at the back of the group when riding to another objective to be pulled off my mount and either been killed rapidly or managed to hold out till back up arrived.

Not like those few that only seem to find Snipe on their skill bars, while standing at the back or edges of the fights, that type I have no respect for, the best way I can put it is they lack imagination, whats the point of PVP if you gonna avoid actually fighting anyone just getting kills from someone else's efforts to defeat/occupy the enemy.

If they are coordinating with a group and that's their role that is one thing but if they are just following around everyone else for easy kills, they are the kind I can't stand, especially since they are almost always the first to run when you counter attack.
