Currently, the bows in Diamond Ranked hardly do any damage. A shot deals half a heart (sometimes not even that).To improve the Bow's effectiveness, perhaps maybe Projectile Prot should be removed from the armor?

Yes I've suggested this in the past. It's really annoying, it renders you unable to stand any chance of killing a hacker. It encourages sword, and tbh no speed sword ladder isin't great. It is really slow paced and feels boring. Blockhitting is the way to go 90% of the time, and it's overpowered considering bows are useless. Please just put it back to what it was ;-;Posted on 04 March 2015 - 01:59 AM
Most of the other ladders already heavily rely on the usage of a bow, this is one ladder that should be left as isPosted on 04 March 2015 - 02:04 AM
No way! That's the point of Diamond……. If you want to play a similar ladder with more bow-PvP action I recommend Iron.Posted on 04 March 2015 - 02:13 AM

lol I honestly don't give a fuck if they remove projectile protection. I'm much more concerned with flint and steel being removed from MCSG.Posted on 04 March 2015 - 02:31 AM
I say Remove the Bow completely, to me Diamond Is just a test of sword not who can land the most shots.Posted on 04 March 2015 - 02:33 AM
I like the bow. I feel like I do better after getting a hit or 2 with bow.Posted on 04 March 2015 - 02:34 AM
It's user preference, so if you like it than use it, it doesn't have to be for damage, it can just be used to get a comboPosted on 04 March 2015 - 02:38 AM
Thats not the point of Diamond, its for mainly sword pvp.Posted on 04 March 2015 - 02:53 AM

But then why have a bow at all?
I understand that Diamond is made a little more for sword PvP, but then why not add a fishing rod instead of a bow?

NEVER PLZ. Fishing rod is literally the worse item in MC because people just switch back and forth between their sword and it never breaks. There's people who will literally rod for 10 minutes hoping you'll just /spawn or break your armor. The bow limits you.

I was all with you on the removal of proj prot but I would absolutely never play the ladder again if a rod was introduced. We've already got one mcsg ladder where people run 90% of the fight, and I'd like to keep it at one.

I'm not saying that I want a rod, I'm just saying that if the bow is to serve the same purpose as a fishing rod, then might as well have the rod instead

As Archy has stated the bow/arrow are to break up combos. Mentioned above but just re-iterating.Posted on 04 March 2015 - 07:32 PM
A lot oc people see diamond as a sword mode sp the bow is just to break up combos or creat combosPosted on 04 March 2015 - 11:58 PM
Diamond is originally based off a game style from another server, and it mimic's the kit, the kit doesn't have any power on it and the armour is plain. It's just used to break combo's of shoot off places.
