It isnt so much that people dont know how to make it work, but there are a couple of nasty surprises going in for them when they are indeed building it for the bow damage;
-They are building an engineer, an already squishy one at it, to use an excessively slow and sometimes unpredictable "melee" attack... which consumes grenades if you want to be able to add to the power.
-Not only that, if you want to use your powers(bow and cain) often, you need to be married to an ammo box, or bring heavy firepower for times when you dont have grenades while your grenades regenerate slowly, but oh wait, the heavier the weapon, the slower the regen :S
-The bow is often awfully in accurate even with the focus, and you need to be the host, and to shoot from within 15 meters(range where every single enemy will instantly rape you since you are a squishy engy) which is a little bit too hazardous given how long you need to stick out your head, to use something that is affected by latence, rather heavily.
-You are allowed to have only 3 cain mines out... WTF! why. they consume our grenades! and if you miss place one of them, with oh so nice geometry of the map buildings, you end up wasting more nades than just 1, because you mey need to/want to rebuild your trap, and since the old ones blow up when you lay more than 3....
Below, a re-enactment of what the Talon merc is doing 70% of the time between ammo boxes.
