Ok I just want to put this in perspective:

1. There are 4 items that break bow damage; they are:
Weighted Axe only usable by Warriors & Shadow Knights and Ogres & Trolls
Gromlok's Basher but it is only an 85 delay compared to the 150 delay on the Weighted Axe, can only be used by Warriors & Shadow Knights; most if not all races
Mroon's Toy which is only a 70 delay compared to the 85 delay on the Gromlok's Basher, can only be used... by again Warriors & Shadows (shamans can't use a bow so they are out); but it allows dwarf and Barbarian warriors to wield it.
Earthshaker which is a 70 delay but has the perk that it can finally be used by a ranger and palladin ... AND all races can use it... Sadly the last one sold was on January 3rd of 2020 (according to the wiki) and it isn't exactly too abundant.

2. Fletching and arrows are limited on Warriors, Shadow Knights and Palladins. And unless you pester a mage for summoned arrows all the time you really don't have a means to abuse it in normal setting.

3. Ranger's could use the Earthshaker at a 70 delay and summoned arrow and could bow kite (something already done when soloing) but they will never be as good as they were in Luclin. But then there is the other perspective of this a Ranger gets double attack and arguably could do more damage in melee when well geared. And their bow discipline is on a 45 minute cool down.

I guess you could argue that Shadow Knight & Warrior while being an Ogre & Troll get the most realist damage increase but are limited by arrows or being the tank for the group.

So then that leaves PvP where it is being abused in which it is upsetting some of the population of Red Server.

I am sure the devs will remove the additional damage added by delay to bow and thrown damage

......... but it doesn't look like it is a shutdown the server and patch need.
and removing the Weighted Axe could be a bandaid fix to resolve a lot of the PvP problems.

Is there something I missed?
