»Put it this way. We have 4-5 Guns and 4-5 bows in the shell. Not one event is dominated but one or the other. One day Guns win another Bows win. Same event same mobs ect. The deciding factor 95% of the time is who pulls hate or so or dies or of course the 15k barrages. If you honestly think one is better you are F'n crazy and should have your head checked. I personally have gun. If you love both sam and rng I'd build bow you will be very happy with it with correct gear.
Are you serious? Do not understand that there are math equations that determine the amount of damage each weapon can put out, and that there certain numbers, such as delay, base damage, fTP, that determine precisely how much damage can be done over time by each weapon? If you honestly think one is NOT better than the other, then you seriously need to have YOUR head checked, because it's very likely that you can't perform simple math.
I'd love to hear how annihilator, as it is currently, can possibly beat a bow with a base damage of 249? Please explain how such a bow is not better than annihilator? The fact is, there is absolutely no way in hell that any gun will ever touch that bow, or even the 221 base damage bow. Bows currently are the most powerful ranged weapon in the game right now period. That does not mean guns are useless. Coronach will always be the go-to weapon skill for hate control. It is superior to namas arrow (higher fTP) and the base damage of gun is much higher than yoichi.
Yoichi was actually a very viable and strong build on sam to use in legion.
I said SAM toy simply because a RNG can do the same thing, except much more effectively with a kraken club.
