Thrill of the Hunt (Buff Bow Hunting)

[aikidragon]

With the addition of credos, more possibilities arise in terms of specializations and buffs for pretty much anything.
Seeing that archery does not get very much love due to the arrow capping issue, despite the animal quality cap buff from the hunter credo, I suggest another Credo, such as Archery perhaps, requiring the Hunter credo.
This Archery credo could get some really rewarding buffs to really incentivise people to hunt with the bow: Thrill of the Hunt tag (like memories of pain) could be added to the meat of animals hunted with a bow in order to increase the FEP awarded by the meat used in any recipe by, let's say, 15-20%.

Other rewards could be: +40 Archery, +10% Aiming Speed with a Ranger Bow (please add this already) etc.

Hunting with melee is SO MUCH EASIER compared to bows so why not buff the bows themselves?

State your opinions!

melee takes longer to set up. need to learn skills and have armor to fight effectively and still will take wounds/hhp that require healing
although, bow runs the risk of melee when you miss or low damage but with some ua you can defend but then again you're back to melee

imo archery compliments melee more than competes. just wish we had better endgame for it to shine, like scaling wild animals or something

IMO if we want archery to be scalable I think we need an archery themed combat deck.

Maybe limit it by making its combat moves activate after the CD ends, unlike melee which happens as soon as you push the button.

Will consider archer credo.
