It's right there. You are being purposefully obtuse Baugi. I have no bias.

Pedantic maybe, but reading critically, it just doesn't say what you want it to say.

"This weeks patch increases damage bonuses in relation to delay (longer delays yield better damage bonuses)." - doesn't say where the damage bonus comes from, just that it was increased and that it applies to overall bow damage (under trueshot). If you assume that the damage bonus is calculated based on mainhand delay as it is on P99, the whole note still reads correctly.

Reading between the lines on a historic document is dangerous. You have to be careful what assumptions you come into it with.

Its not pedantic, we are on the topic of bows, OBVIOUSLY he's referring to bows.

People simply don't speak like that, with such redundancy. We don't have to state bow 5 times in the same paragraph.

You are just grasping at straws here

This person did heh. He did exactly that in the previous sentence -

"Prior to the last patch, all bows, while under the discipline, were hitting as if they were 45dmg bows regardless of the delay."

Seems to me like you're the one raging at straws. At this point the developers have undoubtedly decided its an obvious bug based on their knowledge of the p99 implementation or they haven't. A fix is in the works or it isn't. Nitpicking unrelated patch notes isn't going to sway them either way.
