shortbow speed needs to be increased
What really needs to be increased with the shortbow is the range. I’ve shot real bows. I can assure you, they shoot further then I can throw a dagger, which is as far as I can shoot my bow. Same range as the dagger toss skill (Thief).
Hmmm…you say you’ve shot them. Yet you think the range should be increased in game. Did you think this through? The effective range is kinda spot on….
Range is great… It already shoots 300 + than theifs… Now speed is an issue. 50% of it being nerfed is just sad. Thats a huge %
Speed is fine also…at least twice that as the long bow…which is by far faster than a real shortbow (which is not made any more…for years) has ever been shot (depends on the user…you know that of course though)

I can throw my dagger as far, spot on my hairy…. ppl kinda invented and use bows cause it can shoot kitten farther then they can throw it. Aka: bout 4 of my Norn’s body lengths (shortest Norn you can make too, so none of this look how big they are crap, mine is only slightly taller then a human)
Then you have the time it takes to shoot it. By the time I fire my infiltrator arrow to the pathetically close spot it can reach, I’ve run half the distance.
And pretty sure the shortbow I used was made in modern times. Good shot too, well, then, don’t any more. I’d prob suk now x]
Laminated recurved wooden shortbow. Was nice, but I pref the longbow, can’t be bothered with compound bows, so dunno bout them. I like the old stuff.

What needs to be fixed is Crossfire with Quickening Zephyr. It currently does not achieve the 2x speed that it supposed to.
Not having a problem using shortbow on my thief, it’s awesome.
Send an Asura who knows math. Problem solved.
No, the other skills on the shortbow need to be tweaked so that spamming your auto-attack is not incentivized gameplay. As it is Crossfire shoots fast enough imo. Condition trap ranger is incredibly strong without a need for an increase in the shortbow fire rate.

Didn’t say it was a problem to use. Said the range was kitten. What do you need a bow for when you can throw your dagger that far, conceptually, not game skill crap. Hell, my leap attack (really forgetting skill names today) covers the same range in two uses. Try jumping twice to cover the same distance as a bow.
