BiS for Hunter Rangers. AoE flat attack penalties debuff, no saving throws. My Hunter Ranger did a preemptive multi Volley attack (AoE ranged weapon attacks, class feature)... 4 AoEs with this weapon against an enemy cluster. Each one got -8 to attack rolls for 8 turns. No saving throws. This weapon is far better than Harold for Hunter Rangers. Period.

This or Harold? Giantbreaker seems to be more consistent, but Harold applies a stronger debuff with a CHA check.

Saving other people from having to test: The wording on Heavy Hitter is misleading. Unlike other bows like that ambiguously say "your weapon" or just "you have" some sort of boon, and that boon applies to all weapons, this one doesn't.
Ie, unlike Gandrel's Aspiration which gives advantage vs monsters to your bow AND melee attacks, this bow only applies the reeling effect to the bow shots.

Extremely strong gun. Carried me through the game. The debuff is great against bosses.
Reeling sounds good tbh but all the stacks the enemy accumulates from your attacks/volleys get removed as soon as it attacks.
