Are bows 2 handed?

Now that the Slayer has *Damage with 2-Handed Weapons*, are we back to Bows being 2-Hand Weapons for these stats?
Yes, Slayer's generic 2-handed weapon nodes apply to bows.

Technically, within the game bows are considered two-handed weapons, but it never matters because we don't have any bonuses which apply to all two handed weapons, only to two-handed melee weapons. The descriptions of those stats now reflect this.


Is this still the case? I just found this topic after being suspicious of the current description of Heavy Strike. To be fair, heavy strike does have the "melee" tag, but it does say "or Two-Handed Weapon", not "or Two-Handed Melee Weapon".

It's a Melee skill. It doesn't work with bows.

Not being fair dude, clearly says Melee on it
Those who know know that the skill tags aren't meant to indicate what the skill can or can't be used with.

Yes, Heavy Strike not working with bows is a (minor) inconsistency with how skill descriptions are currently interpreted.

True - but it does indicate that Heavy Strike is decisively not a Bow Skill.

Frenzy has the tags Attack, Melee, Bow. Yet it can be used with wands, which are neither melee nor bows.

Mhm. 's Why I explicitly stated "Bow Skill". Wands are the only potential ambiguity, but wands are one-handed.
