Why is the new bow tier 75 if the equipment rebalancing will change the blade of saeldor to tier 80? Shouldn't they remain consistent considering they come from the same piece of content?

It will be changed alongside the Tier Rebalancing work we plan to do later this year. It's a little odd way of going about it, but it keeps everything in line for now until the changes to other items are made.

Nerfing the new 75 tier bow before it's even out is worrying, hoping we don't see the release of another underwhelming item

The changes to the Bow equal ~3-4% accuracy loss overall and 1 max hit from it's previous proposal. It's really not that much of a difference :)

Then why change it?

As it says in the blog, there were certain encounters where the bow was better than we'd intended. This small change brings it down just enough in those situations for us to not be concerned.

It's okay I am used to it by now!
