Shortbow is our main utility weapon, and over the years the nerfs its had has taken it from pretty good to just barely worth taking imo. Right now, if it weren’t for #5 nobody would use it. Anyways some buffs that would do it some good:
1. Buff range to 1050. As is SB’s range is just too short.
2. Double clusterbomb flight speed. The damage on this weapon is pretty good, but its rate of fire is so slow that its dps is atrocious. Make it’s explosion radius a bit smaller or increase ini consumption slightly if you have to compensate somewhere but please, speed this thing up. This will also make comboing with #4 more viable at long range.
3. Fix the animation on #3 so it doesn’t do that little backpedaling thing.
4. Up poison time on #4 to 6 seconds per tick. 2 seconds is laughable and it’s not really a damaging ability. It needs to have lasting poison.
Suddenly SB is actually useful for things other than movement and people can’t just ignore the thief plinking on the edge of the fight.
