Bowmaster adjustments

Posted by Knotty

Hi, I would like to raise a concern regarding the current state of Bowmaster, especially when compared to other archer classes, and more specifically Wind Archer. At the moment, Bowmaster feels significantly weaker than Wind Archer, even though the two classes are closely related in playstyle and identity. The damage gap feels far too large. For example, Wind Archer’s Arrow Rain can deal around 20k damage per line for 3 lines , while Ranger/Bowmaster’s version deals around 7k damage per line for only 2 lines . On top of that, Wind Archer also has access to a strong full-map attack every 2 seconds , which makes the difference even more noticeable in both farming and overall performance. Bowmaster’s Dragon Breath also feels underwhelming . Its damage is low, it only hits 2 lines, and the knockback effect can sometimes make the skill feel awkward instead of useful. Another major issue is Hurricane. Bowmaster’s Hurricane starts at only 50% damage, and although the skill changes mention that it should reach 180% damage at max level, it currently does not feel like it performs at that level. It would be helpful if the team could recheck whether the listed skill changes are actually being applied correctly to current Bowmasters. Overall, I believe Bowmaster’s skills need to be reconsidered and rebalanced. The class feels far behind Wind Archer and other classes in terms of damage, farming ability, and general usefulness. A buff to Hurricane, Dragon Breath, and the class’s overall damage output would help Bowmaster feel much more fair and enjoyable to play. Thank you for reading.
