If you want to argue that you enjoy the Daikyu over other bows because it's drawbacks force you to change your playstyle, go for it.

But if you want to argue effectivness when you place it against it's peers, it's going to be a very hard sell.

There are to many other weapons that can either perform reliable status procs through their removal of IPS in favor of completely elemental damage, or weapons that have such high rates of fire and status chance allowing you to quickly put out a smathering of status procs.

All bows have inate punch. So you can either line up your targets to increase your chances at the proc you want, or you can line up your targets and knock them down with a much more reliable crit chance.

The original poster argues that the Daikyu has a niche that let's it play with the big boys, and those that disagree simply don't know what the niche is. When the fact is that that niche is filled quite well with a number of other primaries and secondaries that can out perform the Daikyu.

No matter what category you want to throw this thing into, it's outclassed. And if that's okay with you, then good on ya for having fun the way you like. Doesn't mean others can't hope for a buff that would please everyone, including the people who are already happy to use it.
