Multiple Shot is a very nerfed skill, it needs a lot of love. You give it a little love in 2.4, adding a sinergy, but now It is removed from 2.4 release notes.
Have you cancelled it? Please, give multiple shot a power up, it is extremely nerfed. Nearly no one is using it. Please, remove the 1/4 damage reduction like you did in Strafe. Now multiple shot amazons are extremely unused and everyone is using strafe or other skills. You improved strafe but forgot to improve multiple shot. Also, only two of the arrows get adds from crushing blow, knockback, etc… please solve that, every arrow must get the adds (like in strafe) to make this skill again used. Another possible correction will be reduce mana use. And another will be to give damage bonus like in strafe, up to 100%. Then, using multiple shot amazon will be again enjoyable in all difficulties.
EDIT: please, blizzard take in mind that when people sais “i hope they don’t improve multiple shot, it doesn’t needs improvements, i can clean cows in a few mins”, they are using top end super expensive equipment, and in other chars, you don’t need to user super expensive equipment to clean cows even more fast, like sorc, for example, or pala, etc… multiple shot clearly needs improvements. Make this game enjoyable for everyone, not just for rich people or for palas, sorcs… etc

Man I hope they removed it. MS was already a perfectly fine skill if you knew what you were doing. Def didn’t need buffed.
MS clear times on cows/chaos were around 30% faster than strafe so why would it need buffed? Coming from someone that has done 1k+ runs of those since D2R released on a Bowa I don’t think you know what you are talking about here. Especially after you mentioned mana cost reduction. Why would a Bowa care about mana lol? They have like the best return on mana leach of any class in the game. I get an entire bar of mana back every time I use MS.

Multiple Shot:
- Added synergy from Guided Arrow: +12% physical damage per level
This is from their latest news post in 28 February 2022
So no? I don’t think they have?

If something is not as effective as hammerdin, it is not in a good place and needs a buff. If you are not advocating the total nerfing of hammerdin, do not talk to me about something else being in a fine place.

Why do you think it was removed? Nor final patch notes, nor 2.4 has droped yet.
In the official 2.4 patch notes, the multiple shot improvements have been removed… check it
I just leveled up and budget geared a multishot zon because I found a windforce. It’s VERY weak. Useless, really, compared to the meta builds. Sure, it can be strong if you have gg gear, but that’s the bar. It should be able to shine with budget gear like any meta build can.

The mulishot change patch notes came in whit the Ladder PTR patch notes. So there were 2 patch notes. And you’re looking at the wrong one probably.
This is what you’re looking for:

Exactly, there are 2 patch notes, they should release a full patch note with everything in it soon

Yeah this really bugged me as well. There were Barb weapon mastery changes that only are listed in one place, but when they give an “update” with changes highlighted, but completely drop some of the original changes, it definitely adds to confusion.
Hopefully in the future they can be better about how they release/update patch changes so there’s one place that shows the latest, and ideally release the final notes a bit before release so people can plan/theory craft/get excited, etc. but it sounds like they don’t intend to do the latter unfortunately.

On patch day, to prevent the cryes of the community whit their needyness. Be cause right now the majority of people want to shove every idea into this one patch.
It’s more than fine man. You are exaggerating to the 10th degree.
That is Zero HRs. It clears fairly well for a small investment. The charms aren’t even damage charms. Just a couple skillers as Anni place holders, and a bunch of crap resist charms. In good gear that goes down to what 2:30-2:45 a run? I’m doing a 1/3 of my potential damage with GG gear in damage here.
It already breezes through everything in Hell for a Zero HR investment. Just how easy does this game need to be for you to enjoy it?
There are sooo many builds that need help more than MS zon.

I agree overall. Good demo of a budget build there.
It’s pretty hard to push below the 3 minute barrier. Even if your damage may triple, your run/walk speed won’t, which is what you’d be doing mostly at that gear level. The only way I can see pushing below 2:30 is if you switch to enigma.
690 life in hell is not even close to being on parr with other builds. Factor in hardcore.
Probably a more relevant factor is how often does a bowazon die? Definitely much less often than most other characters.

Haha never actually, about the only time my Bowzon will die is if I’m standing on the chaos sanc spawn pack point for some reason.
Think I’ve died twice on that bowa… both times running Nilithak out of boredom after just leveling. I don’t much care for the HC playstyle in general but man honestly Bowa would be pretty solid. I don’t even need to be on the same screen to kill things lol. I die sooooo much more on my sorc and hammerdin.
I mean if you are worried about dying them by all means make a CTA or grab a few life charms. Personally I don’t much care about dying… I mean I’m not trying to grind out 99 I’m farming. The faster I farm the better, deaths legit don’t matter.
A hammerdin straight up won’t touch a Bowas clear speed at this gear level. Bowa will clear the whole screen in the time it takes a hammerdin to get 6 hammers out and kill a pack.
Hammerdins are great, don’t get me wrong… but they are mediocre without enimga and imho if they need an enigma just to get going then “meh.” I can out boss pack farm on a sorc, and out rune farm on a zon.
Hammerdins have this weird status as OP and don’t get me wrong they are strong, especially if your a huge fan of p8 farming for some reason. Truth is though hammers have a terrible path and are awkward to clear with. I mean half the time you have to TP on top the last 2-3 mobs and point blank them. The hit detection is even worse than Blizzard at times, and it takes far longer to get out a field of hammer than it does to cast 1 blizzardfand tp on.
It legit doesn’t matter if you can 1 shot god himself with a hammerdin you still have to cast 10 of the blasted things and pray the mobs don’t go matrix mode and just walk around them lol.

lmao how is Windforce a budget build?
I can also clear everything solo with a Windforce or a Faith

Windforce can be picked up for as low as an Ist rune if you’re patient enough.
we’re making every spec for every class hammerdin level now? D2R was botched so hard, great graphics and everything else a dumpster fire.
