I'd be good with that direction too. Just seems to me either rate of fire, power, speed of arrow (range) needs to be increased. Range would be good to counter the aim-bot NPCs. If there is a nord ranger in the distance, we have to aim straight up to get a rainbow shot to hit them. While they can get a head shot after head shot.
This might seem silly, but what about an alternate firing mechanism to balance that? Like a long distance shot that uses 2x the amount of arrows and takes longer to draw but is a much improved straight shot. That way we'd have to think twice about spamming arrows long distance but it would still remain a possibility.
