What the hell did they did to bows?
|
A strongest ranger builds running with a staff, wand and other sh, but not a bow. What the hell happened to this character? As a long time POE player, I have stopped playing this league, simply because my most enjoyable character has been turned in to some templar/witch.

Because this class is about projectiles, not bows.

" The Ranger archetype literally comes from LoTR. It has nothing to do with "projectiles", and every system that has implemented it has made it bow specific with an equal specialization in swords. See pen and paper systems galore, every CPRG ever made, WoW etc. The class fantasy of a Ranger is bows. PoE has just bastardized and diluted that in favour of its own systems, and the class as a power fantasy is poorer for it overall. Last edited by t0lkien#7048 on Nov 17, 2025, 1:51:29 AM

" I wouldn't complain about any bow related ascendancy skills (and Deadeye with wand looks kinda ridicolous) but this is what it is, ggg has his own perspective about this class. |

" I have only been playing this game for about 2 weeks. I have to agree with the author of this thread (original poster). Rangers are known for their bows and bow skills. My question to everyone especially staff is: What do you think a bow shoots? Arrows right? What is an arrow? A projectile. Wands and staffs are for magic users and healers Last edited by Caltran#0700 on Nov 24, 2025, 11:57:41 AM
