Hello Guardians, lately many people have been calling for bows to be nerfed due to their high burst damage output as well as the constant peek shooting being annoying to play against. I am curious as to what peoples opinions are as to how they should he tuned?
If we look into it, the reason why bows have to peek shoot to begin with is due to their slow TTK, being at roughly 1.14s after the first shot. Currently their is a drawtime and reload speed cap at 540ms and 500ms respectively (nocking delay is 100ms and doesnt change). What if we reduce the drawtime and reload speed caps to be 440ms and 300ms respectively. This would bring the TTK to 0.84s, bringing it in line with other weapons and allowing bows to roam out in the open more confidently (Of course this will allow them to be more easily gunned down too).
In response to this change, they could reduce the precision and body shot damage such that you need 2HS or 1HS/2 BS for a kill. Aim assistance would also need to be reduced a bit to rely on better aim to achieve the proper TTK. What are your thought or opinions?

High head shot damage Low body damage Holding your bow drawn down sights should be tied to your strength for how long you can hold it. 1 strength not long hold time 10 strength normal draw time. This way you can have your normal bow draw hold time but you gotta build into it..
