Aiming too slow/weak on controller to do Narrow Praxis?

[Pumpkinreaper]

I've tried to do it with a controller multiple times, but it just isn't precise or fast enough to get a proper angle it feels like. Even on KBM it feels like you're not given nearly enough time to take down all the targets to do much better than bronze. I don't mind a challenge, but it feels like we aren't even given the right tools to approach it with.

The time for gold is really tight and requires you to do it in the most optimal way, its mostly a puzzle instead of a skill challenge. The key is to use the ivy platform before you actually need it, that way the cooldown ll be done and u ll be able to use it more than once before you run out of time. Also spinkicking some targets is faster than shooting.

I couldn't find any good angles while using the ivy platform and opted for arcing shots through the grating for the two that appear to the left at just above water level.

Good call on the spin kicking the last batch that appear inside the building though, that saves some time, though unless the difference between bronze and silver is 5 seconds, I still don't get how you can do better than that on a controller. Hell, I'm not sure how you got gold using a controller either, with how janky it is to aim with analog sticks.

Yeah, controller aiming is pretty terrible, its mostly positioning your character in the right place instead of actually aiming your bow, when that challenge got first released was the day i decided to get used playing with KBM instead, i got nearly insane trying to get gold at it. You pretty much need to use the ivy platform to get explosive shots and destroy the left side targets and the last ones at the right side in one shot, its impossible to get gold without it and i think its nearly impossible to get silver without it.

Nobody faults you for that, the ranger is complete ass. lmao
I've got this scar unlocked some time ago and I dread it so much.
The character is abysmal and it's just 0% fun to play.

I tried switching to mouse for just that section. Wasn't any better. I just had to run through it a dozen times, building the muscle memory on the exact arcs needed to shoot some of the targets, and where/when to use the ivy. That and 5 Empathies was enough to get gold.
