DE please buff the bad bows but mainly crossbows

[donutboy10]

I love using bows in warframe (not so much the the aoe ones) but i really like the idea of the "crossbows" a hybrid between AR and bows but they lack in damage or viability, ive always wished that crossbows could use mods like Split flights or that thunderbolt would give them a pseudo  Zhuge prime effect. I would love to use them but they're so power crept its impossible to use. Im not asking for them to be the best thing in the game i just want them to be viable.

Honestly, seeing how they buffed Semi weapons with Semi Canonade, but left out Bows because they're charged is such a letdown.

Bows could definitely use exclusive mods that greatly benefit the shot by shot approach. Maybe one where Charged type weapons get alot more benefit out of fully charged shots, like alot of base damage and maybe double the status application or w/e.

Zhuge Prime is quite good. Nagantaka Prime and regular Nagantaka are also good for what they are, just harder to make work in horde play--but that's a problem with ST weapons in general.  (Although all of these weapons could be interesting to use with Blast now, and more interesting to use with Gas than they were.)

Anyway, I don't think crossbows  are crying out for a cross-bow specific solution, really.  

Bring on Incarnon Attica though.

Attica is in shambles... especially after the damage/armor changes.

As has been said so many times: they don't care about balance at all. That's why the changes are very questionable. It's just about new trash fast food content that gets chewed and spat out. So old items really belong in the museum because almost nobody invests in formas and other stuff. But the company sells exactly that kind of stuff.

I do agree that Zhuge and nagantaka are good weapons they are some of my most used, but I wish I could put split flights on them to make them less ST and make them less of a bow/AR hybrid but instead  a bow/shotgun hybrid.

Split Flights on Nagantaka would be really fun.  Zhuge Prime too, but I think it's best to stick with the "no AoE bows" rule on the mod, even though it's the least explosive explosive bow.

Well, all the more reason to buff the weapons. If you make them overtuned, people will suddenly spend all formas and potatoes, and not just the silly collectionners like me.
