Dragon Piercer, as the name implies, does in fact pierce and if you have a good angle on a large monster you can do 4-500 damage over 7-8 hits with one well placed DP
The leap switch skill is a killer move triggering easy wyvern ride, deals quite m***ive damage if all shots land, and allows you to evade ground attacks if timed correctly. With the right bow element to weakness, constitution, crit chance, element crit - the bow becomes quite powerful.
Update this, who ever wrote this is a straight joke.
i haven't played enough to be a total master, but the wyvern riding section is wildly inaccurate. when you get your switch skills, one of them leaps you into the air and shoots the monster. this makes wyvern riding extremely easy, especially since the skill only consumes one wirebug
