The mechanics of heart seeker are clunky, and it for a skill only up during hotp, its under powered until way late game.
In addition, the gear burden is too great. PR, efr, combats speeds, max res, etc.... its really difficult to get all bases covered except with the highest of elite gear. Steady aim is also too weak in power, and aoe.
Maybe I am the only one who feels this way, but I just built one up to elite gear.. very disappointing. I vote Bow druid be tier 4.
The clunkiness is worked around very easily - put steady shot on quick cast, and just tap it while using heartseeker. You can even use both at the same time.
It also functions perfectly fine with just a decent intimidating craft bow. Sure it's better with the void bow, but that's not necessary to do everything up to fauzt, which is which a starter build is all about..
It also does a shitload of st last i checked so pretty easy to get charms.
