Do you have a healer in arena? otherwise idk how you survive being focused .... as a bow player, i always get at least 2 melee chasing me :D without evade shot, idk how i'd kite them and my bow damage is really weak this expansion, so they are not scared going all-in on me.
I queue solo, so it depends. rapier is really safe to get away from things like that. For this particular build you need to use your resolve haste and lunge distance to make some plays. All comes down to light armor not being as strong these days
@@danielsan83 I will have BIS versions for all my builds. I want to try out everything and give you guys solid information and not just assume good perks
You keep mentioning diminishing returns on attributes over 350. Please make a video to go more in depth on the changes to this. Foe example, for bow, when is it more beneficial to go 50 strength vs 50 more dex
@PoleVault look at the bonus you get for 50 strength and 25 focus.. It may or may not be worth it to you but In my opinion its worth it for any build..
Naw, I mean you could but the empower + healing from tumbler boots is so much more valuable on that build. You play so far back with that combo that more armor isn't needed imo.
Im feeling like people is really tanky after this expansion everyone has too much attributes, and i cant hit harder than a eventually 3k crit with the bow, but is like 20% os his life... strange
I think it will get better as the expansion goes on. A lot of people are running around in faction gear right now which has enchanted ward, even though on a lot of builds you don't actually even want that. The new 250 con perk also goes pretty crazy and I think it will take people a bit to start playing around that better. Also just my personal theory but I really do think people are still testing out what perks to go. The shirking flames/nature/etc perks got buffed incredibly but I still don't see anyone using them or testing them, even on skirmisher style builds like bow spear that are going to be dodging a lot of attacks and playing close. I also think keenly jagged lost a lot of value for bow in season three on a variety of builds (triple dot build unless you have the artifact rapier and bow vg especially) but for the most part people continue to use it. The jewelry perk changes are also really interesting, as is the change to 300 dex. But for the most part I think people are sticking to what they know for now. I think a lot of things will change in the next couple months once the market settles and more players are able get the gear they want.

Love the build, but I use backstab instead of the spin attack
Can you do a Bow/Rapier Build or Bow/Greatsword Build?
Bow rapier build will be out at 11am PST today :)
@@ItzTermx Big W, I had to sub to you have been giving me hella INFO since I have started playing new world again
Are you using a transmog for your chestpiece or is it a shop skin?
Transmog, Once I log back into servers I can send you the name
im loving the VG/Bow would love more info on that build
I have that video on my channel! It's 2 videos back
@@ItzTermx I know I just want a more in-depth guide
@@danielsan83 you mean how the damage formula works? Or just like best perk, damage cycle, ect.
@@ItzTermx best perks, gems things of that nature

@@dudergames6547 yea facts, but 50 strength is bugged atm and not giving 10%
@@ItzTermx explain empowerment cap and everything that contributes to it for bow while you’re at it :)
@@ItzTermx I heard that on PTR 25 strength was giving the heavy attack bonus. I haven't tested on live though.
nice
Very nice indeed
Wouldn't featherweight and heavy armor be perfect for vg/bow build?
Naw, I mean you could but the empower + healing from tumbler boots is so much more valuable on that build.
You play so far back with that combo that more armor isn't needed imo.
Do you think shirk fort perk will be viable for light then with this featherweight build?
nawww, enchant ward and health is so much better imo

Yea I am running into bow damage issues as well. Perks or HP needs to be toned down imo.
Bow also got a 14% nerf in PVP so that doesn't help
my bow feels hella weak in arena tbh, thinking of changing to melee cleave@@ItzTermx
I wouldn't change over that. Bow will get some love again. Good damage is possible but it is just harder to reach now@@itzcal1088

how do you have the 675 pvp gear when the quest to get rank 6 is bugged??
