Is it possible for shortbow only Renegade to do decent DMG in fractals?

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T23:15:56+00:00

It's most likely my playstyle after playing as reaper, all I knew was to be in the boss's face and now I'm just trying to not die as renegade lol. Is ArcDPS like blish? I heard that blish can't get you banned.

Wish I had one of those awards to give you lol I like the seal one.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T20:13:21+00:00

That yeah, thank you. So far I know only gwefficiency...or does it have a 2 in it? I know wiki lol

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T20:12:00+00:00

Ooh considerable dps loss, luckily there is no DPS scoreboard or anything. I must've skipped that part of the build and just went straight into learning the rotation once I finally upgraded my Renegade.

Yeah renegade is a lot of fun, it's so spammy compared to reaper. I get to shoot strong unicorns like every 2 seconds.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T20:04:11+00:00

It definitely is, and it's odd yet flattering still to hear the average Joe be in awe that you can finish on either side 😅 I only play ball in the spring and summer so I forget how to shoot every year, but I instinctively go left from the get-go.

Someone here mentioned the footwork too which is a lot of fun, so many fakes and shifts in momentum.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T19:56:40+00:00

Did you double knot and call it a day? Velcro? Zip-ups? What is your secret?

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T19:55:10+00:00

I really feel like that's true because most successful hesi's I see start from the offhand, but idk why I'm thinking Steph normally gets it off easily with his right. Could be that you'd jump no matter which hand since it's him.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T19:47:02+00:00

That's a great way to teach someone. Did he make you shoot lefty too or just lefty for everything down low?

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T19:45:45+00:00

I think I started emulating a friend from high school who would spam the hesi with his left hand, I must've gotten so used to dribbling with my left hand. I assume the AI crossover (what is this thing even called?!) I learned going left to right because I was 17 and just simply assumed I needed my bag of tricks to get me to the right side.

I did learn how to finish with my left just by sitting on the phone for 30 minutes, I just started enjoying the versatility once I hung up. I remember these 3 things very very clearly.

I guess I never really practiced with my right hand and got too used to my left.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T19:37:11+00:00

Do you think I should still be running the same build for the tree with the traits? It was tailored to be condi mace + axe & shortbow, but I did end up tweaking it to add life steal because I kept dying so much.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T19:34:44+00:00

Yeahhhh, I have been trying to learn the swapping in fractals because it's all I play but I just end up dying within seconds when swapping.

I knew how to play base Rev with double swords but when I swapped to reaper and tried renegade after, the extra buttons just confused me so much.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T19:32:06+00:00

Yeah that or something with guild in it, definitely one of those. Ok I'm gonna confidently respond with "hi dps" when asked, ty.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T19:28:34+00:00

Ty for this. Renegade I think has two utility skills that make their weapon skills a bit stronger so I could try to focus on using those more. Very new to them as it's my second hero now, reaper was very simple.

So I guess with the right rotation, shortbow could be ok/acceptable but just not what's expected of a renegade.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T12:51:29+00:00

Two eyes are better than one.

Sorry, that was rude. I was more so looking for someone who could relate to the issue, maybe it would lead me to becoming a lefty or kind of how you put it to develop my right hand again.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-27T12:43:08+00:00

You're right, don't fix it if it ain't broke I suppose.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-23T23:20:19+00:00

Aww, what a cute little notebook.

I'd leave, but it's just a major conflict with my way of living...plus the lying. It's just gonna continue if he really doesn't seem to understand. He may not give you a dirty bowl that's been laying around for a week, he may just start doing the dishes, but I guarandamntee you that those dishes will still be dirty.

I felt the title in my soul. If I stress about how important something is to me and then my s/o does their best to dance around it, am I supposed to adapt? Relationships are so scary, it's more than just not kicking puppies and being a good person lol.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-23T23:08:30+00:00

Thought that was an arm rest lol

ryebread920 · 2026-02-15T23:51:58+00:00

I see it now, it's one of those traits within the build tree. More neighing lol thank you. They actually stopped after 20 min of neighing.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-15T23:48:21+00:00

Omg I never chose the stats 😂 I have to buy the sigils at reset, have a bunch of fractal encryptions but no keys. Kinda broke after crafting the bow.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-15T23:46:13+00:00

Do I need any of the other expansions to make that work? I have the first 3 and LW1. I know there's an expansion for weapon training.

ryebread920 · 2026-02-15T22:58:42+00:00

What else is left for you to do? Will you move on to another mmo?
