Hello my Bow user friends, read this if you want better bows
The Shortbow Skill 1 for the Thief is amazing. it hits every target for the same damage, bringing all of them down so quickly. Don’t know about the other professions though.

I love it to, but the there should be a skill chain that rewards multiple followed hits,
I agree, I love the Shortbow, but when it comes to damaging, I have to take P/P over it.

I think sigils proc based on hit. A sigil that causes burning for example, when you hit a guy it can proc burn then bounce to another guy and proc burn and then back to the first guy and add to the burn duration.
I have seen a single arrow hit a target up to four times. Now if you are specced for precision and have a 60% sigil, then that’s a kitten of a reward for follow up hits on multiple targets with a single button press.

This is a true statement for single target (unless you’re traited for bouncing bullets). I predominately use p/p. I read a post on another thread that said that the 1 attack on shortbow is almost equal to unload. this is totally bogus. it’s not even close to the truth unless you have very under leveled pistols. But, because of SBs aoe uses, even if single target damage is not as high, you will probably bring down more mobs faster rather than a quick individual kill.

Wait until you have just 2 targets, and the bounce hits the first guy twice. :P (3 times, and then they are downed) It probably takes as long as the pistol unload. Imagine when haste goes off during this time? hmm…
I chuckle when I see a P/P thief in WvW personally… but to each their own! It’s hard to get rid of those bleeds from the pistols I bet.
