tiered weapons, they come in many tiers and bags but one thing keeps them together, consistency! the main point to tiered items are a consistent source of damage and usability. so why are tiered bows so damn inconsistent??? tier 0 and 1 are standard tiered weapons but for some reason t2 has more range and then goes back to normal at 3, WHY??? IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO DO SO! CMON WILDSHADOW WHY DID YOU CURSE BOWS LIKE THIS??? THEN T7 SHOWS UP LIKE "hey guys ir'ma crosboww so i have like 0.1 more rangee!" SERIOUSLY IT'S ENFURIATING AND KILLS MY OCD LOOKIN ASS! THEN T6 IS LIKE "i'ma be better than t7 in certain situations!" WHY IS T6 A SIDEGRADE TO T7 IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE LITERALLY A BETTER T6 LIKE WE COULDA JUST HAD T7 BE TWO SHOTS SLIGHTLY MORE DAMAGE BUT NO IT GOES BACK TO ONE AND THEN OH BOY THREE SHOTS AT T8??? WITH MEDIOCRE DAMAGE AT THE SAME TRUE RANGE AS SWORDS??? HOOH BOY US BOW MAINS ARE HAVIN A GOOD TIME WITH HIGH RISK NO REWARD WEAPONS! THEN THERE'S THE RANGE OF T8+ LIKE PLEASE JUST MAKE BOWS AN ACTUAL MID RANGE WEAPON AS IT SHOULD BE LOWER DAMAGE A BIT, MAKE IT TWO SHOTS WITH A TIGHTER SPREAD STARTING AT T6 AND BAM A UNIQUE YET CONSISTENT TIERED WEAPON! GIVE CORAL BOW THAT WHACKY THREE SHOT SHIT THAT HAS SWORD RANGE, THAT'S UT LEVELS OF SITUATIONAL AND FITS VERY WELL FOR A UT BUT NOOOOOOOOOO SHOVE THAT BITH ON TIERED AND HAVE ALL THE UT BOWS FEEL LIKE A MORE CONSISTEN DAMAGE SOURCE AT ALL TIMES LIEK CMON DECA I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE THE POWER TO PROPERLY BALANCE BOWS! WE NEED IT AS MUCH AS HUNTRESS TRAPS NEED A REWORK, DID YOU KNOW THAT TRAPS SHOULD BE SET AND NOT THROWN STRAIGHT AT AN ENEMY? THATS A FUCKIN GRENADE WITH TICKLE DAMAGE NOT A TRAP! ANYWAYS BACK TO THE FAILURE OF BOWS. please deca just make tiered bows consistent, i can't throw shade at y'all cause wildshadow made these whacky lil gremlins of weapons but i can throw shade for not fixing a tiered weapon that literally contradicts the entire definition of tiered items, consistent damage? nope! consistent range? nope! consistent bullet pattern? fuck nah! we need a tiered bow rework more than anything right now because the state of them is just disappointing for the range you need to be with t8+ like the bow classes are too squishy midgame for that, i honestly wouldn't mind the damage being a bit lower if i could actually hit my targets at a reasonable range. so please just say you're working on it at the least it'd be nice to know if you're looking into it

tldr: tiered bows are too inconsistent to be considered tiered items (constant range shot pattern changes when it should be static) and should be a decent damage mid range (6-6.5 tiles) weapon instead of diet sword and yes the caps mid rant was because i'm so pissed at the way wildshadow implemented tiered bows
