pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Ah yes. Nepotism the bow. What an interesting selection of perks. Not a single good reload perk through Rapid Hit or Archer's Tempo. You could go all 360-no-scope-Legolas-lite with Perfect Float and Air Trigger. But in reality this bow is more for ability regeneration. Pugilist or Strategist giving melee or class ability energy, respectively. Add in Wellspring for general ability energy and you've got a real quick way of getting your abilities back."

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "It's a sad day for a weapon when To the Pain or Lone Wolf are your best bets, *and* they're in combination together. Could you make something work with it? Sure? But there are far better options. The rare Holless-IV is better than Neoptolemus II. That's saying something." Recommended MW: Accuracy or Draw Time.
