Best New World Bow Builds for PvP and PvE

Bows are the ultimate weapons in the New World to cover the long-distance damages. Both PvP and PvE gameplay show their strength by using high-duration DoT effects. Besides, the bow weapon is equipped with unique techniques and a fast-loading speed. Though you must master the skills to hit the target in an arc shot, bows focus on the heavy damage side. 

Here, we will briefly learn more about different bows and the builds for PvP and PvE. Also, the guide to use those for effective playstyle.

Bow abilities and skills

The bow is a completely DPS weapon and damages a single target. So, some prime abilities need to be focused on while playing.

Evade Shot: This shot makes the player jump 5 meters backward, and while hitting the target, it deals with 125% of damage. The cooldown is 15 seconds and works well for the PvP and PvE gameplay. The enemies are shot from a quite good range to be safe.

Splinter Shot: This feature splits the arrow into three arrows to target in a projectile motion. It covers a long range of 10 meters. Also, the arrows deal with weapon damage up to 50%. 22 seconds of cooldown is a fair length for the bow.

Rain of Arrows: The player can shoot multiple arrows to cause enough damage to the enemy. This AoE ability deals with 150% damage. It covers a distance of 7 meters. In PvP and PvE, it can be used with other playstyles to work uniquely.

Rapid Shot: This shot shoots three arrows with different damage-dealing sets. The first two shots deal with 100% damage, and the last one deals with 125% damage. So, each arrow causes continuous damage to the target. The cooldown is 14 seconds and is considered the shortest one.

Poison Shot: This shot AoE ranges 3 meters and deals with 50% of weapon damage. This can also work up to 26 seconds of poisoning the target.
