Why are there no physical bow skills?
|
Something like a power-shot, aka Heavy strike only for a bow?

Well Frenzy kinda counts I guess. But for a Bow-only physical projectile attack, no, there are none.

So, we're not going to count Frenzy, Split Arrow, or Puncture? Guild Leader The Amazon Basin <BASIN> Play Nice and Show Some Class www.theamazonbasin.com Last edited by mark1030#3643 on Sep 7, 2013, 1:13:47 PM

Hi
I have always thought that heavy strike should have added bow to description, perfect bow skill does phsy dam and has knock back. cheers Conan: Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.

There's a bow damage node called Heavy Draw (I think). Perhaps this could be implemented as str based skill/ support.
Heavy Strike is no bow skill and should never become one, imo. It's a bow, you don't (normally) strike with it. Bird lover of Wraeclast

Split Arrow, Ice Shot, Rain of Arrows, Frenzy, Puncture, Burning Arrow
So 60% of the bow skills are physical based, or directly related to your physical damage. |

He is asking for a single target pure physical attack like Heavy Strike. Like I've said, the closest thing a bow user has is Frenzy. Split arrow is not single target and has the appropriate damage effectiveness of an AOE skill.
Ice shot and Lightning/Fire arrow are elemental skills. Yes, I know they scale off physical, but that's not the point. Last edited by Zealflare#7547 on Sep 7, 2013, 3:17:11 PM

" It kind of is the point. How many skills do bow users have that scale off of projectile damage rather than physical? One? It seems like most of our bow skills are physical. Perhaps there isn't the exact physical bow skill he wants, but the pool is already biased heavily in the physical direction. |

" How many skills do attack users have that don't scale off physical? One. IMO, there shouldn't be a 'high dmg physical' bow attack, because it would basically be exactly the same as burning arrow. Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:
