No way. It's hard enough to hit people even ONCE with a bow. You make them un-preppable or nerf the rate of fire, and you'll never see a bow being used again. And besides that, even less people will worship Aengus...and you know how many people worship him already. -_-

As of now anyone with decent wc and a bow can DOMINATE anyone with a melee weapon. That is NOT fair.

Rate of Fire of a may be good, but any person who doesn't stand around and smack you without moving would completely own a guy with a bow. You don't even need to be that fast. Even with like, 2 speed, you can easily dodge arrows. And most people on B mode have like, 3+ speed.

Besides, what good is rate of fire like that if it can't hit anything?

When a bow guy can shoot and run with such powerful arrows at that rate, by the time you catch up to them, you're dead.

He runs away from you and clicks on you a million miles an hour. By the time you're lucky enough to get ONE hit youre at 5 hp.

Bows should not be allowed to be prepped nor should have a god.

There is (reflect missile) but it doesn't work yet. The main problem with bows is that the explosions - and the number of them, mainly - cause some lag which can keep players stuck in the storm, in a manner of speaking. If the explosions were removed/nerfed, it would improve things.

When you get his you freeze for a .2 seconds. Now if thats a bile bow or gov bow, your dead in around 5 seconds and 10 arrows.

As of ages ago, anyone with a good wc and a weapon can DOMINATE anyone who uses magic or prayers. Is that fair?

Here again we see again some of the uber players complaining because they aren't completely invincible. Oh dear.
At places like Agincourt, the English longbows could go through even full plate at about 100 yards. Bows aren't too powerful, the damage is realistic. Rate of fire: yes, it's too fast, but bows have got to have something to attract people to use them.
The explosions should go though, they are waaay too laggy.
