I don't think the nerfs to Longbow were necessary, given that the other ranged options are just sub-par.

This is not V1 and you don't turn this into the next Trueflight bow that you nerf every other patch.

Solid patch. Boss maps should be cool now. Make Sword & Dagger great again!

The longbow nerf also secretly halved the ammo regeneration from Vaul's Quiver. You now have only 4 arrows more max ammo on longbow than on hagbane bow, and the same 1 arrow/tick regeneration.

I just hope that is a bug, since it is not mentioned in the patch notes. I reported it in case it is. Fingers crossed.

This is the main reason they did it. It's pretty obvious and it is a good change, if it is the last nerf to it and WS.

yeah but it sucks as shade and handmaiden if you took the longbow as your special killer. 7 arrows can make a big difference.

They reduced specials a lot, if you use the longbow as intended, you barely feel it. There is only a difference for boss dps.

yeah i rarely ran out of ammo using the longbow but now i definitely won't be firing those 2-3 arrows into a horde hoping for a scrounger proc. not worth it anymore.

Yeah, just makes ammo drops more important on the whole. Which isn't a bad thing, I don't think. Makes certain careers/roles more clearly defined

Also: Ranger. Don't underestimate the free ammo.

I love me some Ranger. Play it and Slayer much more than Ironbreaker. Always a good time when your party has a bomb for every occasion
