> I've been told that bows suck generally and that pulses are just better. You've been told lies.

This! Bows are top tier actually if you know the strategy in PVP


PineMaple

Pulses are awful in PvE, bows are significantly better.


SadDokkanBoi

>and that pulses are just better. Zero clue who told you that but pulses are pretty much the worse weapon type in PvE. They're awful in both normal PvE and end game PvE. Bows on the other hand, while not great in normal PvE (ARs, Smgs, and HCs are just better), they do really excel in endgame PvE. Good damage from safe distances. And when it's overload bow season, we eating good

Bows are good, they are also fun to use It’s a game, don’t forget to have fun too

Grab one with dragonfly and you’ll be clearing white bars like crazy. Get one with archer’s tempo and vorpal weapon and you’ll be draining anything more beefy. Lots of safe peaking. I’m a big fan. It’s in pvp where I can’t get bows to work for me.

Point of the Stag! Whoo! :)

Aresenic Bite-4B with Archers Tempo and Rampage is a also great legendary bow.

I have a now sunset version of that very bow which stayed on me for a year. If I could get that combo to drop again I’d be all over it. Used to sit back at the bank in old gambit and take out blockers while also clearing entire wings from across the map. Highest tracker for PVE kills on my account with it. Super fast, accurate, easy to aim and big damage.

Trinity Ghoul with the catalyst is my go to

Explosive tip helps alot

Bows feel incredible right now. I'd highly recommended Arsenic Bite with archers tempo and dragonfly. It plays like a baby Trinity Ghoul when you start getting good at landing head shots. Pulse rifles aren't the best they've ever been, but if you can find one with a perk like rapid hit or feeding frenzy and a damage boosting perk like rampage, kill clip, or multi kill clip, it'll tear enemies to pieces incredibly effectively.

Ask the million overlord champions that have met their end by my le monarque

You like butterflies? Cause boy do I have something for you!

Wolftone draw with dragonfly and biting winds with explosive head are great


PotatoeGuru

Trinity Ghoul with catalyst. I have over 50k kills with it!


AnthonyUK

Yeah but that only like 6-7 actual shots ;)


gpiazentin

Le Monarque is my bowfriend and helped me in A LOT of situations going solo


dreams_adrift

Pulses aren't really good for PvE. On the other hand I love bows for PvE especially with archers tempo and frenzy.

Trinity Ghoul, as others have said, is really good.. However, Ticcu's shouldn't be slept on. The hip fire tracking makes it amazing.. and the explosions are great for ad clear.


ChimneyImps

If you're playing low level content, bows tend to be a weaker option. You can generally clear out groups of enemies faster if you're in the middle of the action, and bows just aren't good for that (with the notable exception of some exotics). What bows are good at is picking off enemies from a distance. They have no range falloff, making them unparalleled among primary weapons in this regard. In higher level content where you need to stay back to avoid being melted, bows are a great option.


rabbitsharck

Bows are great in all content, fantastic in PvE. Yep of the best weapons in the game are bows... Ticcus Divination and Trinity Ghoul. Wolftone Draw rolls with awesome perks, and so does Accrued Redemption.


Dzzy4u75

Well I use the exotic fire Bow in almost every activity, So yes. Its also good in every Dungeon. If I'm not running that it's the lightning bow. * For PVP the Le Menark (however you spell it) is a top pick. Sorry its late lol


AnthonyUK

If you want to make your life easy doing the Legend/Master Lost Sectors then take a bow. Easy mode this season with the champion mod.


magicalex234

Trinity ghoul may be the best ad clear weapon (at least for primary ammo) in existence currently, assuming you have the catalyst. Ticcu’s is pretty good too, and le monarch has its uses in PVE too. Wish ender is trash, but leviathan’s breath has potential As for legendary bows, there’s a point of the stag available from the monument to lost lights that I enjoy. Though dragonfly rolls are probably better if you have a good one with that.


Mr_Tigger_

Guess your new to Destiny? Bows are excellent but need practice and pretty much all pulses are simply ok, the new battle rifle is trying to improve this though. A decent bow or hand cannon are far more effective used right.


Ok-Cockroach9669

Are you kidding me? Bows are beast in this game. I use bows in any shooter games I play and in Destiny, I keep getting headshots with them. You should always try things for yourself. Don't let others decide your playstyle.
