To Everyone I see Using AA on a Bow Class:

AA doesn't work in stealth. You're wasting a perk. Thanks.

Err that's not why people have AA, it's to allow full mobility while running across the open without the risk of getting insta-killed. Some bad bow users rely on stealth way too much, often stealthing even after they've been spotted (and dying even faster).
But the good ones know how to abuse the auto-aim while running at full speed and taking jump-shots. AA can greatly help with that, making them very hard to hit. There are not many modules that work with Bow, stuff like Rapid Fire, Weapon Pro, Aim Enhance, etc all have zero effect.
So that pretty much leaves Maneuverability + AA + Retriever or Maneuverability + Phantom + Retriever (if you despise AA) and you're set.

in my opinion any who uses AA period is wasting a perk.

Urgh, not this again. AA preemptively blocks damage that you didn't see coming, i.e. getting shot from behind or Gauss-sniped across the map. Doesn't matter how good you are at hitting Q, you can't predict the future like AA can.

Well its aim assist/compensation so you still need to aim near them, it only adds like +10-15% raw on top of your usual accuracy. Apart from that you are pretty much right XD.

As for prediction, hmmm I activate armor in areas where I get sniped consistently and its pretty subconsciously automatic now, so I do block a lot of shots. However when there are a lot of snipers, its pretty impossible as they start camping in weird places.

AA has 0 transition time, so you can even switch armor off whilst engaging someone in a direct fire fight to maintain maximum mobility which is broken.
