So bow hierarchy might change. If it is like 2 handers, ratio will probably be a better indicator of where they place and arrow consumption will be more relevant than ever. That would be a nice QOL change.

RIP earthshaker.

Dex becoming primary bow stat will be interesting. Most of your damage usually come from melee so str will remain relevant and seeing rangers have a lot of proc weapons dex was never a bad stat to look for. I don't think most people will shift to dex as bow dmg will remain marginal but it kind of cements its usefulness. Seems like the ceiling would be going up on low delay bows too. The people who like to bow rot might want to look into a dex gear set.
Just pointing out that the delay-based damage bonus will only kick in during trueshot.

Yeah I was confused. I thought "Archery damage no longer receives a damage bonus from mainhand weapon delay" meant bonus was now tied to bow delay but i skimmed through the thread again and basic archery has no bonus at all?

I guess will have to see how hard damage hangs on dex but ranger bow damage sucked enough already even with an argent protector bonus so if it gets no bonus at all now, all I have to say is LOL.
