Did DECA Finally Fix Tiered Bows?

In this video I'm delving into the intricacies of the Patch 2.3 Bow Rework. I hope you enjoy.
Be kind, and have a nice week.
also special thanks to Charizard to helping me with damage calculations, give her a wis pot or something.

take a shot every time i say the word substantial

[@tundracaller6905]

chloromancer is my favorite trove class, i stopped played years ago after hitting 35k on most classes, but the chloromancer always was fun for me to play

[@SweetFloppa]

wish weapons that inherently armor broke did bonus damage on enemies armor broken by abilities. for example if an ogmur'ed enemy lost 50 defense make it so armor piercing weapons did that extra 50 damage or atleast a percentage of it. as things stand now armor piercing weapons usually lack purpose in groups and are easily outclassed so this imo would make them a bit more viable

[@Kacper42PL]

Armor piercing weapons are overall underrated smh

[@dantedeloden]

@@Kacper42PL when on dagger classes, i always carry a stinger for the enemy pierce and ignore defense, just incase there isnt an armor breaker and the hits multiple enemies comes in handy. at the cost of 5 range instead of 5.6 norm dag range. ignoring defense has its purpose. but ever since discord basically ruined rotmgs pug style play. everything is about meta gears and cheap tricking every boss. not to mention deca refuses to address the technical issues of the game but has no issue adding more IAP(in-app purchases) to the game on a weekly basis

[@Eragarev]

I kind of disagree.. enemies deserve a balanced experience, too. Hear me out, armor break isn't always constant and for those brief moments it makes sense that that's where AB weapons should shine. We shouldn't always be totally maxed at how much damage we're dealing, even in a group. There being drawbacks to every strategy seems balanced to me.

[@Requiem2319]

Not to mention it does far more damage now when you’re hitting only the middle shot, for instance first and last phase o2 when the knights go mundane

[@aphrow]

Very true :D

[@sebchoof]

great video!! cant wait for the bard video that u said will be coming out soon at 0:55 in this video!!!

[@aphrow]

video probably scrapped due to bard nerfs d;

but bro, tablet deals 10k per spellbomb, so wizard is a better dps!

[@SomnambulistMist]

Game was bad. Game still bad. I pray for a true successor to stand atop the RotMGlike microgenre

[@Purpial]

pretty interesting ive always mained the huntress without realizing, just like the playstyle ig

[@jendi56]

Pogger, he's back!

[@BigBroccoli_]

The only reason I never played bow classes was because you had to be so goddamn close to make tiered bows effective, I’m so glad they got fixed

[@Kacper42PL]

I played a bit of Huntress quite a bit before and played a good Bard PPE after the rework before rage quitting this game for good after dying for my mental health, I'd say that indeed they made tiered bows much better and more enjoyable to use

[@Craykiller223]

jokes on u i cant receive a wis pot if i dont log on *evil laughter*

[@aphrow]

nuu

[@PrinceMath]

my short answer: yes they are awesome now also I never knew u played trove dayum

[@grahamharper8883]

[@lemlem35]

What makes the side shots armor piercing so great, is it means your center shot is your 'damage' shot and then you get *pure* bonus damage for being a little bit closer. My preferred way of using the bow has been hitting the center shot and 1 side shot since it still has great true range that way and the damage loss only losing 1 side shot is not too bad. Tiered bows feel fantastic now.

[@nairobi8056]

Idk what all the hatred for the archer and huntress is. I enjoyed playing the class just because they were my favorite and I had fun with them.

[@RotmgTroller]

no

[@catci742]

does this mean dagger is the weakest weapon now?

[@aphrow]

Well.. that’s a tricky one. I’m actually unsure lol

@@santiagoarro1198 probably meant only considering tiered weapons

[@ryanliuofficial]

goood video Afro Rotmg.. I am a big fan.

[@Phagito]

ok but dont try and put archer on the same level as huntress

[@aphrow]

I never said they were on the same level. I strictly strayed away from saying that. They're both poor classes but one clearly outshines the other. sidenote, you never have anything positive to say do you? ;)

[@Phagito]

@@aphrow They're both poor classes but one clearly outshines the other. thats what i said

[@aphrow]

@@Phagito glad we’re on the same page now bud.

[@dantedeloden]

did deca finally fix tiered bows? I THINK THE GAME HAS MUCH WORSE TECHNICAL ISSUES THAN THE FUCKING WAY BOWS WORK. THIS GAMES A JOKE honestly no one should play this game. wait till u get a bunch of 8/8s stocked up, and start losing them to tping to someone then getting instapopped before invincibility activates, or the game lags out, unlags and ur instadead in a dungeon/area u have no business dying in. or ur 2-3 squares away from the aoe shot from a wild tornado o3 phase, yet the server instapops u, puts ur graveyard there, and u clearly were 2-3 squares AWAY.

@@aphrow oh ill have a double cheese burger, hold the mustard add extra catchup, since i lost a few 8/8s today.

:)

[@saltygod4064]

what was that game u where playing instead of rotmg looks dope imo???

[@aphrow]

Trove. I really don't recommend the game unless you have a bunch of spare time and are willing to spend like $15 when you start because it makes the early game far more tolerable. But if you're fine with that, the game is a blast and is super fun when you play with friends.

[@zhalosupercell9518]

What’s funny is that way back in 2017 or something I made a Reddit post proposing this EXACT change for bows and got downvoted to all hell lmao

[@aphrow]

Oh lord lmao. Well I guess all worked out in the end, right? :D

[@Babeure]

Quick question, what would be the best bow for general use ? As of now, i have void bow, predator bow and t14 bow on my archer, and i have access to many of the mediocre bow. I dont like sitting on top of bosses with predator bow. Thanks :)

[@aphrow]

Realistically you're gonna want to have a Warmonger for end-game play. But using t14 and Void is more than optimal.

[@Babeure]

@@aphrow appreciated, thanks! Shatters is tooo hard for me atm tho hehe

[@XZSteel]

Bows is just another katana now. If you cant defeat em - join em. Wery unique "rework". GG decker

[@videogames2339]

Are cbows still viable?

[@dantedeloden]

i want you to talk about how they refuse to fix these technical issues that cause completely undeserved instapops, or a lag out and when you X out and reload the client ur char is dead. teleporting to people such as avatar on map with someone intentionally standing on bomb while invincible just to pvp them since the dmg calculates before the invincibility happens. how an 8/8 with 4/4 gear running thru mwoods gets instapopped by a single moth thats aoe dmg calculates to under 500, yet did about 1k+ easily.

[@dantedeloden]

oh and o3 in tornado that chases can shoot an aoe, and instapop players 2-3 squares away. because your client doesnt give an accurate depiction of where the server THINKS you are. this applies to many other places such as wlab when moth jumps at you, fungal/crystal when mob jumps on you, and on your screen you clearly dodged but the server says nope u died there

[@AkumaADemoncus]

Wait... you can still die to avatar instantly on teleport?
