Recently I have done a bow build (full dex) to see how it feels after the adjustments to them.
In this playthrough I have used:
- short bow
- Yew Longbow
- Twined recurve bow
Among these three I think the short bow and the Yew Lxongbow feel good. I actually used them for different purposes, the shortbow for its great mobility, and fast firing option (also great for stacking status effects). And the Yew longbow for the range and oomf, the knockback on the fully charged shots was also great. I think these two are in a good spot.
But the Twined recurve bow currently feels way overtuned, once I had this one in my hands I never used any of the other 2 bows since:
- it has decent range
- it fires two shots
- the evasive shot, only costs 50 focus, and basically makes you untouchable.
- the sprint attack is the only downside of this bow.
And once I added a bleed infusion; it was completely over. The caretaker boss couldn’t even touch me, and the same for the Huntress boss it was a total cakewalk. nevermind any other normal enemy.
I don’t how other bows feel, haven’t tried them yet since this was a full dex build. But I feel like the twined recurve defnitely needs some more adjustments. Either it’s charge time, maybe move the double shot only happens when it is fully charged?
But currently It feels like it completely overshadows the other bows.
