New Bows Need DR Increase!

[Carpediem]

<p>You get a whole .2 DR increase in going from easy mode bows to hard mode and they're low to begin with.</p><p>I see melee weapons are the same but, I'll leave that for non-rangers to complain about.</p>

I thought the low damage rating was just the legendary stuff I was seeing. Is this continuing with raid drops?

<p>So, having new weapons with worse spreads than old weapons isn't a bad thing?  Of course its a bad thing.  DRs need improved all around.</p>

<p>Sure, I totally agree about autoattack but we're not going back now.  Looting a HM bow and having it be worse DR/spread wise than the bow off Yael is complete fail.</p>
