It certainly would have been better if you could have up to 999 arrows in your inventory and equipped like in previous games, I don't understand at all why they changed that.

I have been using a bow lately in my offhand and it's one of the ones with rapid fire, it is amazing. You can fire immediately out of a roll without any FP usage AND the weapon art is rapid fire.

I really think it's doable.

You'll need an unapproving mother, plenty of booze and a massive ego for the build to work properly

Any way to make the "Call Here" gesture say "Lana!"?

this is only one ive seen
The problem with the greatbow is you are completely stationary during your load and fire. Its best for long range. Wish there was a ring for faster bow/crossbow loading and firing.

The bow's name? I think it would be wise to have a secondary weapon like the dual daggers. Just trying to think of some good stat builds.

I believe the one I'm using right now is just the composite bow...

Agreed. Would love to just move even if it was slower. Not to mention aiming is janky imo.

I actually got killed in a PVP duel by an archer build. Guy was using a maxed out Composite Bow with Dark Arrows and light armour, loads and loads of stamina, too. His main tactic was to put as much distance between me and him and then fire off a volly of weapon arts/rolling shots.

I got his health down to the point where only one or two hits would have finished him. Had my build been better, I'd likely have won. But it was very impressive nonetheless. I'd say they're viable, even in PVP. But expensive and requiring a lot of skill.

I'd leave it to NG+, just for the cost.

No dominos taste cheap. Find a good one from a local that is known to be good.

Seems like the best place to do pvp with that type of build would be in open areas. Now i question the effectivness with bosses since alot of them like to get in the players face.
