Bow attacks are attacks performed with bows. Bow attack can refer to either a regular attack made with a bow or a specific type of attack skill performed with bows. Bow attacks have the same damage type and flight characteristics as the bow used to perform them.

Many skills will refer to "bow attacks" or "arrows". These skills will affect both regular bow attacks and bow attack skills.

Expert Focus is the only skill that specifically affects bow attack skills.

Bug Bug.Even with a clear line of sight, all bow attack skills have a chance of not activating when standing on a bridge or stairway and on some inclines or overpasses
