Bow vs Gun opinion

For me, it depends mostly on their race and their animations. I love the animation of Draenei using guns, but I also really like the animation of Darkspear Trolls firing bows. And a goblin using a gun just feels right. But I almost never use a crossbow. Just not as satisfying as the sound of a gun.

Interesting for most of you it seems to be a race thing. Fair enough!

I prefer Bow generally 
 unless it’s a Dwarf, then Gun. :nerd_face:

Whatever suits the transmog best

The gun sound effects are just so bad

And Blizzard just can’t make guns look decent

Bows are usually prettier.

The coolest non-raygun gun is the one from original Karazhan’s Big Bad Wolf.

Still never dropped for me, but it’s the best gun IMO

Been my weapon mog of choice going back to this toons days as a goblin (Cata-completing War Campaign BfA)

The proper answer is of course, polearms.

However, guns make too much noise and annoy me for that reason alone. Aesthetically they’re fine.

Rapid Fire still uses the old gun sound.

Depends on the race.

I like bows.

I transmog over guns and crossbows with a bow.

Old gun sounds were better. The new ones sound like someone dropping a wet potato on a concrete floor.

Guns are weird because while you’re shooting a gun, your ability icon is still an arrow. So I’m shooting arcane shot, and it’s an arrow icon. Just really kills the immersion for me.

No, we should remove hoplophobes from the playerbase.

HEY BLIZ.
I like your game
the second you go along with THIS sort of PC trash, I’ll unsub the same day. My wife will as well.

Wants guns removed
kills beasts and NPCs with OTHER weapons
cant see the abject irony :roll_eyes:

LMAO.
Cars kill just as many 
and a vast majority of gun deaths are suicides. Suicide happens in Japan and a list of other countries with high suicide at a higher rate WITHOUT guns.
Next ‘problem’.

Always transmog to bow or crossbow

Guns are so loud and obnoxious

My hunter uses bows. If I want to shoot guns, I’ll play a different game.

I don’t like the aesthetic of a gun at all, even on a Dwarf Hunter. But then I also just prefer more typically “fantasy” aesthetics, so I’m not a huge fan of the random bits of non-magic tech floating around in this universe in general. Doesn’t help that guns here range from “crude blunderbuss” to “exaggerated intricate final fantasy sniper rifle”.

I turned off guns when they changed the sound. I like big boom noises for my guns, not whatever that little pphhht sounds is.

All my hunters use longbows except my mechagnome, who uses his laser rifle.

I love the little pew pew sound.

Always bows.
