@OP

Actually, the "auto-release charge" is good for focusing in quick-repeat fire against multiple enemies in short time. And Daikyu was one of the highest single-shot damage weapon in Warframe. Sure, it was a bow, requires to be drawn, has flight time, and "not having a magazine", but all of these is quite of a uniqueness rather than disadvantages. One of the highest status chance by default, it's easy to mod this one solely on damage OR fire speed, depends on which one you like.

I have 3 forma potatoed Daikyu and it was amazing. My build has compromize between damage and fire speed, and 100% status chance. Aim for the head, and it will kill even eximus units at lvl 50 in 1-3 shots, depends whether it's a critical hit or not. (also, viral sure does helps alot).

I could agree with you about 5 seconds charge release is kinda pain in the arse, I was hope DE could do something about it. Not fun when I'm pre-charging Daikyus and wait for enemies to line up, but it releases it's arrow beforehand automatically. IT was quite a problem IMO. Also, there is some things that we could hope for Daikyu, especially for it's flight speed. I'm quite sure Daikyu was meant to be faster than now, but somehow it was changed. Maybe it's because with certain warframe power, projectiles could be made flies faster (and might be almost hitscan). Other than this, nothing I could ask for. Daikyu is quite amazing on its own.

Maybe, next time, they could release pure elemental bow that plays in status chance area, similar to Daikyu, but with it's own uniqueness. There are alot of bows out there that could be used as inspiration for warframes.
