So; bow or musket for DPS?

[Rain]

Which does higher DPS overall with ideal conditions? I ask because I am currently playing bow, but haven't really done musket.

Bow

Depends on how accurate you are.
If you want condition damage, I think bow is better since it has bleed, poison and burning.
If you want pure damage, I think musket would be better since the projectile is faster and it's easier to get headshots.

In PvP, I see more bows than muskets, but in PvE, I've seen musket absolutely wreck baddies.

Muskets pretty underrated now that shots pierce targets.

Well your dealing with angry cranky ornary veterans who exploited the crap out of the game for years and imbalanced and ruined economies and just made things terrible for alot of people. Circlejerk meta is all they know.

PvE or PvP? Neither one will be taken in mutations by 99% of groups as they are mainly PvP weapons. Sadly AGS doesnt know how to balance them for PvE without breaking them in PvP

they are both very gay in pvp

in 5 or 10 man raids, single target musket and bow on bosses is super terrible. Unfortunately these bonehead Devs won't allow dmg meters for you to see it. Although the meta is much despised by newer players, it is more welcoming for melee dps in this game than with bow or musket.

it's just hard for pve because healers have a hard time if everyone else isn't melee because of the way heals work.
