[YeezyGT's WQ] [MW: Accuracy with Elastic] "Fel Taradiddle is a great-feeling Bow to directly compete with Whispering Slab. As a Craftable, you can fine-tune it to be as strong as possible, which I believe to be (Elastic String, Compact for Reload or Straight Fletching for Accuracy, with an Accuracy MW). You have access to Archer's, Perpetual and Killing Wind depending on playstyle, and Explosive/Successful and Adrenaline Junkie. Whereas I believe Whispering Slab's Swashbuckler to be a stronger perk for Bows (with AJ having more grenade synergy on Energy weapons), the damage perk does not go unnoticed. Fel feels great, and it's definitely worth having one in your back pocket."

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "In PvP most people would opt for the higher damage archetype, especially now that Under Your Skin can have an almost immediate draw time. But Under Your Skin is also energy, so you have a kinetic option, again if you don’t have a Whispering Slab. The same perks can work in PvP as they do in PvE. Archer’s tempo for faster follow up shots and explosive head for the double flinch can mess up your opponents as they try to combat you.". Recommended MW - Draw Time.

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Whispering Slab has some decent competition. [...] You can easily hit the draw time floor of 540 with a couple different combinations and archer’s tempo does drop that even further. Pair that draw time with damage perks like adrenaline junkie or one for all. Or you can go the “double stagger” route with explosive head when overload bows come back as an artifact mod (there are few things more satisfying than infinite staggering a champion).".

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 8. Shapeable through the Mars Relic. PvE first choice roll for end-game content. Lightweight frame, so an alternative if you haven't dropped an Accrued Redemption or Biting Winds that you like. Bowstring and Arrow depend on your choice balancing Accuracy and Draw Speed. Then it's the tried and trusted combination of Archer's Tempo and Explosive Head - good anyway, but very useful when an anti-barrier bow mod is around. Recommended MW: your choice to round out bowstring and arrow perks, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 8. Shapeable through the Mars Relic. PvE first choice roll for general content. Lightweight frame, so an alternative if you haven't dropped an Accrued Redemption or Biting Winds that you like. Bowstring and Arrow depend on your choice balancing Accuracy and Draw Speed. Then Archer's Tempo is the best perk in the first trait column and Adrenaline Junkie is useful with the strength of void grenades in Void 3.0. Recommended MW: your choice to round out bowstring and arrow perks, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.
