Yah. To see this in full effect watch a warrior with thst bow and weighted axe. I was grouped with one who was proccing about half their shots

This makes a lot of sense and explains some things that I've seen happen.

I tried to do a Sontalak kill with Archery once, with the idea being that a few characters would start in melee, but most people would be outside fear/fire AOE range shooting, and as people got summoned in they would disc tank.

It immediately fell apart because the warrior with a weighted axe + gleed's bow ripped aggro by proccing 3x in a row and moved the dragon off the melee and into AOE range of the archers. I suspect the damage bonus might also be adding for aggro purposes in addition to the proc aggro.

On the other hand, an Ogre Warrior using a Weighted Axe and Furious disc vs. Sontalak is a hillarous amount of burst DPS.

His hit box is so big you can shoot bow while in melee range. You should feasibly be shooting a Dagarn's bow to maximise damage bonus autoattack (well range button spam) dps while the weighted axe maximises riposte dps.

Bow of the Destroyer or even a Wind Saber/sarnak bow do fine dps but the arrow burn rate is just gross. I still want to disc with my Destroyer bow on Vindi but burning like 7 stacks in 2 mins won’t work well past a short fight. At currently I mainly just use for Lucan kills.

IMHO the sweet spot is that Velium bow damage/delay. Outside edge case situations of course where a Windstriker or Dagarn make sense.
