Bow Druid Leveling Discussion

I'm only worrying why all the druid bows have "on death blow" instead of usual for WDM "on kill" procs... does that mean that "on kill" won't work on drubow?
PS: Or it's not working with only elemental bases?

Ok. So, does IED from Pathfinder only kick in on a sacred base?

Anyone else finding bow druid a bit clunky with Steady Shot being needed before using another bow skill?

I was hoping bear would fix it with his aura but the uptime is not much and it still uses the SS when you fire another skill, he just stops it expiring (I think?).

check the tag of the skill in the description. "spell" = no procs, unless death blow

best way to level bow druid is to give your bow to a1 merc and use blink alot so that her barrage hits alot

Currently lvl 45 with my bow druid. Yes it is a bit clunky. Constantly pressing "Q" (Steady Shot) then switching to either Cascade or Heatseaker is pretty annoying. It's not bad enough to play another class, but it is something to talk about. The bear does absolutely nothing with his aura. I honestly have only seen its aura on me maybe once or twice and I've had it for 21 levels.

I have Steady Shot on let click and Cascade/Heartseeker on right click. I also have Stand Still bound to spacebar so I just spacebar+L Click then immediately right click.

For the bear aura, yeah, it isn't very noticeable at first. However around 79, if I am actually paying attention, I have 7 seconds of spamming. It really, REALLY melts bosses if it pops during the appropriate time.

The bow druid is too annoying. I mean one cast of the other skill and you are out of steady aim

What should happen for the bear to give its buff? He need to kill? Or mb he just need to hit someone?
It would be nice if this buff had a visual effect. Something like big black wings ... so I wouldn't miss them.
