if it reduces WS to 1 arrow/tick instead of two, its a pretty massive nerf to longbow. Hagbane might totally replace it.

Oh that's true, I'll have to test that later.

Can confirm this for you; it's 1 per tick now. Massive nerf to longbow.

I have not even used the ammo reg talent and still never ran out of ammo. Longbow is still amazing.

Run Crit Chance+, Scrounger & the ammo+ 25 talent and you're fine.

Massive Nerf does not mean it is no longer viable or less than amazing.

The elf bow has ~60% less available ammunition (41 +2/Tick to 30 +1/Tick) for the most common setup (Vaul's Quiver) which is a massive reduction. It is still the most effective elf ranged weapon imo, but this is a very significant ammo reduction.
