Using bow with warden Stam heal an alliance war hot skill is a lot of fun. Healing as a Stam character feels very fluid when done right.

There is a Typo in the Volley description, it states the ''Endless Hail'' deals Fire Damage but it's actualy physical.

All it's really good for is volley and poison injection. Also, try dropping ballista (bow ultimate morph) and then cc'ing your enemy (with magnum shot or draining shot). Make sure to cc them after you drop ballista so even if they break out they still eat a ton of damage from ballista plus since you already dropped bllista it frees you up to weave a light attack into a poison injection or something. Mass hysteria works best as cc if you are a nightblade.

I wish they would buff bow a little, but not on par with melee damage.
It would be good if Long Shot was changed to give the damage boost against enemies affected by poison status, because now its pretty useless.
ACCURACY would also be nice if it boosted both chance and damage.
the magnum shoot no longer works, it doesn't knock the enemy back
