the only 3 bows ive considered using are the first 3, as the others seem way to underpowered and look like they need to take up too much time to learn for less results. the melees that are usable are the stabby one, the big sword one, and poosting ones but i really dont like poosting so i just use the broken wooden sword one right now for when i shot with bow and just need that little bit of damage at the end to kill. and i dont really have a use for high movement since i have 18 already. I right now im saving up for the 5 travel speed arrow and the fencing weapon assuming i still play the game by then
i see your point with the first 3 bows... but bow 4 is actually so good. im considered one of the top "100 players" (even if im bad rn) and the current best player (Snadow/Wodans) can litterally beat me and almost everyone with bow 4. i couldnt get a single kill. so dont underestemate bow 4. same for bow 6 tho its less used only by a few players (sharp,limits). as for melee your probly right. its poost only. damage cap prevents bladed melee from being usable. the only time you will see the "fencing weapon" be used is on bow 3 or 6. as for arrows heres what i recommend for each bow: bow 1 - 5 damage (this goes best with 2 reload tip and the dragon bow handle) bow 2 - 5 damage (this is my personal recommendation only because it reduces the chance of damage cap and i get a lot of ping) bow 3 - 5 travel or 4 stun (mostly cuz it dosent really matter that much) bow 4 - 5 damage (if you can get consistant hits it will melt eneemy hp) bow 5 - 5 stun (i dont need to explain) bow 6 - 5 travel or stun (same reason as bow 3) also bow 3,4,5 and 6 i recommend max loading speed. (bow 1 and 2 i would use 3 loadimg speed). uuhhh idk why i wrote all this lol
