Bruh they nerfed the scythe. Earlier It'd kill with 2 hits on basically any enemy but now it takes 3 hits and it still kinda slow so ye it feels weak now
ah nah for me its horrible to rely one bows for short distances, mostly considering I ONLY AND ALWAYS PLAY WITH THE SHARPHOOTER BOW, with is TERRIBLE for close-quarters. so melee is always needed.
the big long one? for me what matters i getting rid of the enemies with the least hits as possible while yet not being too slow. but thats just my opinion
