Hey
I had succes with LB/s+t in solo queue. Was ranked 20-something before the patch and leaderboards reset, havent played much since the patch. Here is the build im using:

I mainly roam between points, keeping distance in fights, no stomping.
thanks dhunis. is there a particular reason why you focus strongly on bleeds without going condi?
I don’t really focus on them. I choose the traits with bleed proc because there arent really better traits available and bonus damage is always welcome.
Ive been using Longbow as main with Greatsword..Full zerker, 30/30/0/0/10 with percieng arrows, eagle eye, moment of clarity and Mighty Swap…
So far i have no problem at all destroying ppl..
Longbow actually now does some serious dmg and as long as you stay in a safe distance you have no problem at all..
The problem before was that 1500 range is an actually viable option in spvp..There are many things that can block your arrows, ppl hide behind pillars etc..
Now if you stay at 1000 range you have more reliable dmg from autoattacks, i often see 2,5k-3k dmg from this distance..
Using drakes F2 and Barrage i do serious dmg at 3-4 players fighting mid..
Also i dont know but i feel that conditions aint so much problem right now..
Using Signet of Renewal is enough for me now, i dont feel pressure to take Empathetic Bond..Ofc if i go in recklessly i will be destroyed but Longbow has defensive abilities..Stealth-Pushback at 900 range
Longbow is my Favourite weapon right now..Try it out friend…If you die some times dont blame Longbow, try playing with good position, try to keep always 500 distance with your target and always be infront you..If you turn your back and start to run you will die..Learn to disengage before they start to follow you..When you saw em coming at you use stealth and hide, they will leave you, they wont leave the point to tryhard and kill you..And if they do your teamates will cap the point…
Im having a great time with Longbow since patch..
