Bow vs. Destro Staff

For PvP and PVE I am finding a staff much easier to use because it auto aims.
This way I can just keep heavy attacking and restoring resources...but with a bow...it is a miss fest....

Will this ever get balanced?

Or am I missing a secret to bows?

Tanks,

    Bow and staff have the same targeting type/auto aim/projectile homing, the target just has to be in range and targeted when the shot is released, and if they do not dodge-roll it, it will hit

    He might be talking about a resto or lightning staff? Heavy attacks with those really are easier.

    Yeah, with a lightning staff you could just hold left mouse button without a target directly in front initially, then spin a direction and automatically capture the first tick of heavy attack the exact millisecond when a target is in sight. After that you can keep on spinning or face some other direction and the rest of the attack goes through and hits everything in the vicinity of the first target.

    So with a lightning staff heavy attack build not only can you tie a brick over the left mouse button, but you could set it sideways over a treadmill and do AFK DPS on everything in a 28 meter radius

    Yup, Lightning staff.

    Feels like I don't have to aim...and it also hits right away unlike a bow shot for heavy attacks...

    Heavy attack bow - it seems I have to aim it in PvP more...or is it just me...
