    I know this one was a bit faster paced but I had a lot to cover and wanted to keep the video from getting too long.... hope yall like it!
    ALSO: Reload does have some benefit in the higher stages. If speed is your obsession you can put as much reload as you want. But 60 is still a good baseline here. We are talking about a few milliseconds here. If that.

    This is a great guide, I'm a bow main myself and came here to see if I could learn anything new or share some knowledge. Your video checked pretty much every box, but I do have one thing to add as a "basic bow knowledge" and two tips to add as "specific scenario tips". For the basic bow knowledge, all bows intrinsically have instant auto loading, so you can switch off of it then back, which is slower than just a normal reload, but if you start sprinting before you reload you don't need to stop just to get ready to shoot again. For the Specific Tips, the kill clip roll on Whistler's can get 1 shots if you pair with radiant, or with some other damage buff (lumina noble round from a teammate, empowering rift, charged with light, etc) and the same can be said for precisions with harmony. A couple of builds to take advantage of the 1 shots would be a harmony wolftone/strident whistle and lumina bow swap build, or a radiant hunter build with a kill clip Whistler's and The Title smg because of it's class ability regen origin trait.
    Edit: I forgot to mention that a Gutshot Whistler's is an amazing bow to pair with Eriana's Vow for quickswapping.

    • @Geist7920
      @Geist7920  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep. All good info. The auto loading I honestly just forgot and for whistlers I really tried not to go too in depth with it. Since it's a trials bow. I mostly made this with someone who has never used a bow in mind. Just to be fair. I have never really tried bowswapping with eriana so I couldn't say much about that. Good add on.

    found this in my recommended and figured I’d throw in some of what I’ve picked up using bows the past couple seasons:
    -Foetracer can be strong on Hunter as tagged enemies can be seen through walls allowing you to “prefire” them as they repeek you/you repeek them. I used my Hunter for the first time in a bit in Iron Banner yesterday and pretty easily farmed 100 kills on a Moving Target/Snapshot Biting Winds I wanted to try (I also just died to a lot of dumb repeeks tbf)
    -Warlocks with Ophidian Aspect make for some of the best quickswap builds, and the movement of Solar definitely helps. I have a friend who tried and was disgusted by the efficiency of Le Monarque with a Quickdraw + Explosive Payload Rose for the Lemon headshot + Rose bodyshot cleanup at any range.
    -Warlocks are not limited to just Solar, however, as Stasis can be great for causing doubt in your enemies to give you that chance to take bow duels. I personally run Karnsteins and either a Swashbuckler Biting Winds (unfortunately 612 Draw Time but high accuracy) or just my Under Your Skin so I have the bow for longer to mid range, then usually a slug shotgun to clean up farther freezes, and then three Stasis abilities (Coldsnap, Penumbral Blast, or Frostpulse) for closer fights

    • @Geist7920
      @Geist7920  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you're able to learn the tempo of it wish ender is the prefire king for the same reason.
      Stasis warlock is certainly a good option as well.

    I liked this guide a lot. I especially liked how you explained exactly how lightweights and precisions are different and also mentioned great melee cleanup options to help in close range. I will say though that wanting max reload/draw time is a playstyle thing not a bow thing generally. You look like you have a really fast paced playstyle which is great but when i use bows im much more methodical and holding down objectives, lanes and choke points so personally accuracy, range and damage perks are way way more important to me than anything. Great video dude.

    • @Geist7920
      @Geist7920  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Personally I've never been able to see the benefit of accuracy. I've tested and tested and it's just too hard to tell. Lately I use a very low accuracy tyranny and yet it feels amazing. But wish ender with 85 acc whiffs a decent bit.
      The beauty of bows is you can be passive or aggressive. I'm somewhere in the middle but I still can't decide on a favorite bow. Heck I can't even decide what class. All I know is bows are fun.
      Glad you enjoyed it 🤠

      Basically depending on what you want choose based on that.
      Do you want more utility? Dragonfly.
      More consistency? Opening shot.
      More speed on kills? Successful warmup

    Ive noticed that manually reloading your bow after a shot is slightly faster than just letting it automatically knock before you draw, which could slightly increase your TTK. I havent run any tests but its been noticable enough for me to want to share. If anybody has tested this and can 100% confirm or deny this please do let me know

  • @chrisnichols2896
    @chrisnichols2896 ปีที่แล้ว

    Question: If precision bows max out at 576 draw time, why is Archer's Tempo and successful Warm-Up necessary if the cap is 576?
    Can precisions go lower than 576 with Archer's Tempo/Successful Warm-Up? If not, then to have both isn't making sense to me. A perk that helps reload would be more beneficial. However, if the draw time goes lower than 576, then i can see why it's mandatory.
    Or... does Archer's Tempo make the draw animation faster and does not directly affect the bows' actual draw time? So it's 576 regardless, but the animation is sped up with Archer's Tempo. That could make sense as well if true.

    • @Geist7920
      @Geist7920  ปีที่แล้ว

      576 is the cap Stat wise. (Without glitching) I actually have a precision that is 540. The true Cap for all bows is 500. But yes archers, successful, and archers gambit all surpass this cap

    • @Geist7920
      @Geist7920  ปีที่แล้ว

      I actually did a test on this though I didn't post it. I used wish ender and a 20 accuracy lightweight. Both of which I really could NOT tell the difference with. Projectile speed matters more on non compound bows. And with compound bows accuracy doesn't matter. I could be completely wrong and there's some miniscule difference but personally Draw speed and reload are most important. And for console players if you get a lightweight with rangefinder or impulse they feel so much more consistent.
      Sure. What platform are you on. And what are you wanting to do
