I wont dabate mach abouth Bows in general tho i mast say as for build enabling sort of uniq bows, as it where Voltaxic is such a shit now days. I know its shit becouse they kill it with fire in light of poison, LA-frost wall interaction but now its uter shit. No damage, no crit realy bad damage spliting especialy as Lightning go 1-100000 that add to inconsistency to extrime. Its realy bad, like i mean seriosly bad. Its suposed to be good for uniq builds now its just wierd and lacking loot to be actualy wiable to build araund, realy bad damage, damage spliting, high and low damage extrims, bad base crit simply say not even a dried lake wiable. |

" RotC has been nerfed way too much to be relevant in any form and LG means suicide when reflect is involved. Opus is a great bow though but not endgame material. |

" oh yeah, thats what was killing me right xD i was loving LG but i was dying instantly from some nonsense i couldn't even see hahahaa. I kinda solved it by inputting the warlords mark in one of my cwdt setups, you can check my profile for it, if this build does decent dps to shaper i might make a video of it, because the clearspeed is very decent, it's a very cheap and hipster build (FREAKING DEADEYE), and the icy explosions feel soo goooooooood (specially with gloom effect> herald of ice). Rotc is only very good on relic/legacy version, which will be unavaiable in 3.0, so good point, but it's worthless now. Opus is decent-ish, equivalent to a 350-400 phys dps harbinger (if it has local crit) i guess... But again, when comparing to other kinds of weapons (sword-starforge, daggers-bino's), nothing feels as efficient or strong... So it's really not fair, and since i love bow builds most of all, it's really bad and build restrictive having to rely on such a mediocre unique pool or rare harbingers, specially because their aps is very low. I think a middle therm between rotc original(relic) power and a max rolled rotc pre 2.6 (which had lower dps but still 4 projectiles) would be very nice, now that DoT's are reworked (dead?!) and GMP doesn't double dip negativelly, rotc is not even so good anymore... so ggg could take that kind of middle therm power and use it as reference to balance (improve more or less) all other unique bows. Buff life on the right side of the tree! Just a little! Pretty Please! Последняя редакция: The_Risen#6326. Время: 26 июл. 2017 г., 01:19:31

I've got this and it's not even impressive, I deal more damage with a LG. This is the first version of the bow and a very good roll as well. Current version is 1 chaos junk. |

" More damage with a LG? wth, which build? I've got to see that on path of building xD Guess it's not barrage or tornado shot. But really it should be common sense that rotc is way better than any possible LG, sorry. =/ Buff life on the right side of the tree! Just a little! Pretty Please! Последняя редакция: The_Risen#6326.

or maybe the bows deserve a slight but visible nerf in general? care-free offscreening gameplay with outrageous scaling (compared to no-double-dip situation in 3.0) and some trully bonkers uniques (Doomfletch, Sigal Fire, Drillneck (yes, still) etc)
bow builds are pretty brain-dead nowadays. all the creativity is in 'how to get to vaal pact' and where to start because the tree and general gearing is pretty identical no matter where you look DD changes will affect barrage/TS poison builds (or LA+Volt) but other than that - there wont be serious changes. damage will go down from 'unbelievable' to 'slightly less ubelievable' and thats it once again - bow builds if anything require a slight nerf, esp in the 'care-free' experience they provide. there is just too much utility in one package that also deals very serious damage out of the thin air. it is too much note: Path of Building is a double-edged sword. and people who only think that they are math-infused-geeks will get hurt |

Dunno where you're pulling those amazing OP builds from but my melee characters (actually melee) with mediocre gear kill just as fast if not faster than my bow character with that legacy RotC while having multiple times better survivability.
Bow builds involve constant juggling with gear and nodes trying to get reasonable HP but it's never enough and you have to play very carefully regardless because about anything that connects can kill you even with flasks and curse, yet the damage output isn't spectacular in the slightest. |

" Hegenony's Era? Starforge? Those are just ridiculously OP (stat-wise) items, that counter-weight an awful state of 2-h staves and swords. Because those items exist, no one even bothers picking up rare 2-h words and staves - why bother, if players will use OP uniques instead, anyway? Uniques should NOT be so poweful, that they over-shadow any rare for generic build (except something like 6xT1 godly mirrored rare). They should either have "average" stats (i.e. act as budget weapon, until you get good rare), either allow unique builds/playstyles, that wont be even possible without them (like Iron Commander or Voltaxic). Perhaps, Slivertongue, RotC and Nuro's Harp are kinda too weak (considering their rarity and level required), but other unique bows (Iron Commander, Voltaxic, Chin Sol, Lioneye's Glare, Windripper, Doomfletch Prism, etc) are completely OK, and are good examples of how what ALL unique weapons should be. Sure, there is too much RNG in crafting rare weapons. Blame GGG for that, and ask to revise weapon mods system, not band-fix it with OP uniques (like Hegenomy's Era, that can be beaten only by 6xT1 staff). IGN: MortalKombat
