Stealth545 @ 11/11/2020 PVE PVP
PvP: Elastic string / Fiberglass arrow shaft / Moving target / Swashbuckler / Draw time masterwork / Icarus grip.

It's a compound bow with swashbuckler. Melee kills will give a 4.5 second window where you will oneshot headshot, each kill will refresh the duration. Swash is easy to trigger, a hipfired bow shot + melee attack is a guaranteed kill in nearly all cases. If you see anyone in crucible using this roll, hide and pray they do not find you. Good luck.

PvE perks are decent.

ColonelPanda @ 11/11/2020 PVE PVP
Stealth545 has the PvP perfectly so heres PvE:

Polymer / Fiberglass / Surplus / Explosive
Draw MW and targeting adjuster or a spec of some kind

Since its a compound you want to get accuracy higher with poly rather than elastic, surplus will help take up the hand and stab.
Another option that is a lot more fun but might not be as good, would be symp arsenal with a quick access sling, this combo on a bow means you practically have quickdraw and auto loading holster on every other weapon.

Using an Elastic / Carbon Shaft / Killing Wind / Swashbuckler roll (sadly with a reload MW)
This does really good in PVP though, I think it's one of the only bows I've actually done well with, and was fun to use. It feels very consistent, and like Stealth545 says, it's a compound bow with swash. Pair it with Killing Wind and it becomes a beast, it chains kills upon kills. Does pretty solid in PVE, but misses some key perks needed for PVE bows.

Caller @ 11/20/2020 PVE PVP
No Archer's Tempo makes me a very sad bowman. Imagine Archer's Tempo/Swashbuckler on a Precision Frame... Just make sure to keep a fresh pair of undies close at hand.

That said, I'll take a 576 Draw Time Swashbuckler roll on this bow any day of the week. Moving Target or Quickdraw are my top picks for the third column, though I've still got to see how Killing Wind's Range buff performs on a weapon that doesn't have a Range stat in the first place.

Renegade @ 1/13/2021 PVE PVP
I'm a big fan of hipfiring bows so the lack of hipfire grip is a big sad for me. But this being able to roll with swashbuckler make it pretty scary and a very good bow in pvp and pve.

Melizande @ 12/4/2020 PVE PVP
Really enjoying this bow! Swashbuckler is really nice. The ability to immediately 5 stack the buff is extremely useful in PvE.
I have two rolls, one with Rapid Hit/Swashbuckler and one with Surplus/Swashbuckler.

I'm struggling to decide between Rapid Hit and Surplus, however. On one hand, Surplus is always up, but is nerfed as you use abilities. On the other hand, if you fail to crit a single arrow, you lose Rapid Hit and have to start over. I wish I had the math on Rapid Hit vs Surplus.

Quick draw, swash with draw time masterwork. This thing will slap a guardian into next Tuesday so fast it's almost unfair once u get swash to proc. I love this bow.

interested to see how swash works on a bow. Think this will be excellent in pve. Not sure in pvp
