Gloves should be the ones providing the bow oskills and charges.. not the bows

General Discussion

It piegeonhole holes you into using specific bows which kills most build theorycrafting

Hell rack having immolation arrows charges ? Nah should be lavagouth and glove affixpool

Widowmaker having guided arrow Oskill? Nah should be charges or Oskill or “fires guided arrows” on gloves

By being on gloves you empower a pretty lacklustre gear slot and you open up the bow choice for you build

The original devs already thought this in the first place by having multiple shot as charges for gloves affixes

But charges number have to be cranked up way higher and so is the skill level

This would open up builds like

  • Brand bow necromancer with multiple shot or strafe gloves to cast bone spears

  • Ice bow sorc using strafe, multi shot or freezing arrow to trigger ice nova

  • Hand of Justice bow Paladin using exploding arrow gloves

  • A fanat Paladin using guided arrow gloves and his bow of choice

Etc

I don’t want to go down the road of other classes being better at using bows than the Bowazon.

No other class has access to matriarchal bows

No other classes have access to having 20hard points

No other classes have access to bow skill synergies

No other classes have access to all the +bow skill that is gated behind (Amazon only)

No other classes have access to all the bow passives

If all these advantages don’t consolidate the Amazon as the bow class… this is an Amazon issue not an other class issue

By the way, multishot charges exists on gloves, does it invalidate amazons?

Ps: class identity isn’t who is able what, it’s who is the best at mastering it

Michael Jordan isn’t less of an NBA legend because you are able to throw some 3 points with your friend

I disagree with you and don’t want to spend my next hour with you trying to convince me to be completely honest.

I personally don’t want it and that’s it

This would reduce the bow choices to either windforce or faith like it is now for every bowzon.

With the o skill on bows you have at least a few niche options

Don’t assume my class’s speciality!

how high are you sir?

Ah yes… the classic reply that tries to be a counter argument while this exact thing is debunked in the original post

10

All those options are bad on Zons and would still be bad. So nothing debunked. Just another time, that you don’t want to accept that your halfhearted idea is bad

Nothing new here.

example for your necro brand idea:
full synergies.

Bone Spear – Level 18
Damage: 1243–1317

11

Yeah let’s tell only the numbers that you want

Purposefully leaving aside that strafe can get 10 arrows and bone spear is 100% chance to proc

With a chukonu type cross bow that’s like 20arrows/sec therefor 20 potential bone spear(depending on AR)

The bone spear damage is not based on its quality but rather its quantity

And completely ignoring everything else about the bow damage itself which gives you another couple thousands dps per arrows

And ultimately… who are you to decide how other people should and shouldn’t play their builds?

12

Rofl, where did I decide it? I just stated that it would boil down to the 2 single best bows in the game. You clearly troll again. You are pretty butthurt because nobody seems to like your idea and you are hard stuck doubling down with trash niche builds most people wouldn’t even touch.

I feel sorry for you. So now stop trolling.

13

Ah ok it’s that scenario

Another “I disagree with somebody therefor he must be a troll” argument

How entitled one must be to think only his opinion is valid and therefor everybody that doesn’t share it is ilintended

14

It’s the scenario where you try to discredit me by using false accusations.

see:

that’s why I call you a troll.
