Dat ding honestly that ding is one of the most satisfying sounds you ever hear in gaming and minecraft TV be a bow should be your most important weapon it’s the great equalizer if you’re up against someone with a better sword skill your bow skill can be what helps You take them out a pro pvp or with a bow can keep two or more players off them or damage a team enough to be able to destroy them to be one when the sword fight starts it can even be used in ambushes and it helps to guarantee you a Kill the thing is a lot of good pvp users don’t like using bows I’ve heard all the time on servers I play on you wanna 1v1 no bows or I’m not that good at bows or I just I haven’t used bugs that much the reason is just people Don’t tend not to practice with them you know what I mean then I use a much an SG or capture the fly or whatever happens to be so that’s what this tutorial is all about guys if you practice and use some of these tips I’m about to tell Share with you your bow will be the deadliest and most useful tool you have in PvP as it should be so let’s get going alright let’s do some really basic pose stuff just to start it off this video is going to be quick because I want to do multiple videos on both Strategies and bow tricks so let’s do some basic stuff first and then we’ll get to some cool little things you can do first off you got to draw your bow completely back to get a crit when you’re in a 1v1 you’re always going to want to go for the crit but not every Single time there’s a bit of a rhythm when it comes to 1v1 Xin a bow fight if you feel the person’s about to shoot you as in when you watch them and you knows the pattern of shooting and you feel like they’re about to take a shot again On you and you don’t have the boat really drawn don’t bother going for the crit just do a quick shot and move it’s better to not hit them and not get hit yourself than to hit them and with a weak shot and get hit it’s dumb The number one rule in both fights is just not to get hit yourself that’s the one thing you need to go for um so I say you do crits when you have someone running from you and they got a good distance on you you want a mAb it above Their head depending on how far away they are you got to kind of get a feel for the arc of the arrow because arrows going ARC’s so if they’ve got a good distance on you you’re going to want to aim well above your head because the arrows going To arc down by the time it gets to them if they’re pretty close to you just aim dead center on their head or on their back and if they’re going left to right in their distance from you this is go it’s kind of obvious but shoot ahead of Them and depending on how far away they are from you that depends on how far ahead you need to shoot if they’re like across a map like 30 blocks away or something then you want to shoot like five or six blocks ahead of them and the Really good thing about this is is once you land that first hit you got an idea of what the right distance is to be shooting at like ahead of them so once you land that first hit they’re far away the second third and fourth hits if there’s long as I don’t really Start changing directions are easy it’s really easy to get combos with bows once you get that feel and that’s something you need to pay attention for once you land that hit you know the right distance and you know the right trajectory and everything you know you’ve got it right on once you know You’ve got to write it on that’s when you need to go sometimes players take a couple seconds to react to being hit and if they take that a couple seconds take advantage of that and get two or three hits and instead of just about one oh that’s some basic bow stuff we’re going To get to some tricks now but actually first I want to do some don’ts there’s two don’ts big don’ts I want to mention when it comes to using bows number one is don’t arrow spam it’s useless when you arrow spam someone all they have to Do is step to your side and then you’re wide open you’re not defending yourself you have no way to to protect yourself anymore and they’re just kind of combo you so never arrow spam and the second one is kind of similar is if you’re in a sword fight with someone in there Beating you don’t panic and switch to a bow it’s something I see happen all the time don’t do it because when you do that it’s the same as bow spamming all they have to do is step to the side a little bit all all you have to do is Step to the side a little bit to defeat someone who’s pulling a bow low in your face and once someone you pull it below when someone’s in your face or even a couple blocks away from you you’re screwed because what they’re going to do is if they’re smart they’re just going To step to your side a bit create you and combo you and kill you and you won’t even be able to get a hit or two on them maybe one shot if you’re lucky react so never ever both alone when you’re right in your face or we are Change to a bow you always want to use a bow when you got a little bit of distance or when you have tricked your opponent into going in the wrong direction which we’ll talk about in a bit all right let’s do some tricks all right guys let’s do some bow tricks I’ve Got a bunch in my head I could just think of right now but I’m only going to do a few because I want to do two videos on bows so the first bow trick I want to go on about is the arrow ambush and this is one of my personal favorites because I Am a dirty dirty dirty PvP er I am very I fight like a I’m just people get mad that’s the best way to put it so there’s two ways when I discuss the arrow ambush first way you could do it is you can hide behind a wall in Crouch and you can Wait for someone coming in past you past the wall what you do is you wait wash and as soon as you predict that they’re about to pass in front of you you take the shot so that the arrow lands on them it requires a little bit of timing but It’s not hard to do because you’ll be pretty close to them so just watch the nametag and time it correctly now my second variation on the arrow ambush is my personal favor I do it in trouble in mind vil almost every time I play it is The latter ambush which is what you do is you climb a ladder you bait someone to come up the ladder and follow you and when they’re just about the top of ladder you start laying arrows into them you can get to three or four shots in or You can get one shot in and then rushing with the sword they’ll be so surprised and not expecting it most of the time that you’ll kill them it is great so second trick I want to talk about kind of goes with the first and it’s called The chase I’m just making up names for this crap but it involves being chased now sometimes when you’re in a 1v1 you’ve noticed some people will run off and then turn around and shoot and come back in or if they’re being chased will turn around and shoot as you’re chasing Them now this is very easy to handle all you have to do is step to the side to be able to take care of it or run at them at a strange angle but there are ways you can do it if you’re the one being chased or you’re the one trying to bait Them into chasing you for example you can go into a hallway now what I mean by this is whenever you’re doing a chase tactic and you’re trying to make someone chase you go into the narrowest part of the map or the area you’re in so the more narrow it Is like say for example a doorway or a hallway or whatever the better so if it’s two or three blocks wide perfect because it’s easier for you to make your shots on them go about half way out of the hallway and once you’re sure you’re there in the hallway too by checking at Five which is the first thing I talked about using in my first proof pvb tutorial turn around and take your shots they’ve got nowhere to go but towards you or to turn around and run it’s perfect so turn around take your shots they’re trapped it’s easy for you to hit Them and it’s hard for them to dodge now my favorite combination is to chase with the latter ambush where you make sure they chase you you go up the ladder and then you shoot them when they come up the ladder now be careful when you do This because if they get too close to you in the chase and you go up the ladder you’re done and it’s happened to me before if they’re too close behind you and they come up behind you under the herb they come up on you on a ladder you are Screwed because they’ll just hit you and you’ve got nowhere to go you’re up you’re on a ladder you’re stuck so that’s an easy way to die alright so the third arrow trick is going to be the running gun and don’t get the name wrong here think about a bow fight in a bow Fight most of the time a person will take a shot and then move slightly to the left and take a second shot that’s how they dodge let go left right left right and it becomes really easy to predict their movements and once you figure out they’re going left right left Right you just shoot a little bit to their side right before they move and they’ll walk right into the arrows over and over and over again to the point they call you a hacker it’s happened to me um five or six shots in a row people think you’re hacking but anyways this is A variation on that instead of you doing the left-right left-right thing change it up and make it hard for your opponent to hit you because a good PvP will figure out what you’re doing and nail you what you should do is instead of going left right left right keep your Finger on your control key which should be your run your run button unless you got it bound to something else whatever keep your finger on your run button and once you take a shot go off at a weird angle and sprint and go like four or Five blocks so instead of going left to right left to right couple blocks go backwards or forwards or left to right while running or at angle a mix or even do little loops and circles and [ __ ] like that it makes it really really hard for people to figure Out we are going and it makes it really really easy for you to hit them because they’ll take more time trying to figure out where you’re shooting or where you’re running at and they’ll stay still while they’re trying to do it cuz it’s hard enough trying to keep track of you And when they still stay still all you have to do is stop you’re running for a second aim your arrow at them shoot and continue running before they get the shot off be very random in your movement and when you start and stop that’s the key to it Because if you do it like that it’s going to be really hard for them and predict it alright guys that was PvP tutorials now called PvP pro tips because I think it’s a better name for today I hope you enjoyed it I have another bow
