Dragon Bow doesn't suck in the least. Obviously it is an opinionated response but I have no problem earning souls to keep any weapon usable. (just did a couple of NG+ boss battles with some guys and earned some big souls... filled up my Dragon Arrows and ready to go :D) Obviously ranged bow weapons have a cost behind them that makes them more feasible simply to survive a stage and/or to garner a material that is really needed, in my case that would be any slab item.

People pay to buy Twinkling Titanite when they could farm them in combat. But I see Dragon Arrows as a similar choice. If I can use them to farm Blue Titanite Slabs from moths (what I prefer calling them) then so be it. I would gladly give up 500,000 souls for a Blue Titanite Slab. So if I have to go through 999 arrows to get it then I will.

I can use a Dragon Arrow (yes I know they are called Dragonslayer arrows... give me a break) and kill a guy that might knock me off a ledge and make me restart everything. I can take out the Boss Dark Sun Gwyndolin without him even fighting back, worth it... for sure.

Each weapon has it's uses and I find Dragon Bows to be a great option. Obviously I am not going to try and use it in close range combat but from a distance it lets you decimate an enemy and get past an area with far less worries. And people keep seeing the range listed on the weapon and thinking it is little better then other bows... when in fact the arrow itself allows the range to be much greater. And way more powerful then a bow that is listed with further range.

Currently I am farming for slabs/humanity in different areas. Racking up unheard of amounts of souls in the process. My weapons are well supplied with ammo. So yes seeing an enemy that gave me 10,000 souls previously now giving me only 400 souls can be annoying but only briefly. When I get the slabs it will all pay off. :D
