Forget other classes for a minute and just compare them in basic gear to another build in their own class like Java, its night and day.

Yes.

@Ashka-2397

if you have to use another class to gear it because they are to under powered or gear dependant then they need to be looked at

Yes.

@Ashka-2397

if you have some classes that are so OP compared to others

@Ashka-2397

then you get the bat out.

No. You can improve the weaker classes instead.

My history with gaming which is very long , they generally go the nerf route.

If this was a new IP everything would be getting buffed and nerfed but its not, some builds should have been nerfed 18 years ago lol.

I understand where you are coming from but bowazon are just one of those builds that are pricey to get too a high level. Java is fun blowing up the whole screen but you want some variety in a class. The variety here is bowazon is an expensive build to get to java level.

they do require higher end gear compared to other classes and builds, but they are not alone, there are other builds/classes in the same boat.

That’s just how it is with melee vs casters in general. Melee always need more gear because their damage is derived from their weapon, chance to hit from attack rating etc.

Caster builds should be made to be more gear dependent than what they are now. Hammerdins should have their damage tweaked down and scaling on lightning fury be altered to have less exponential growth.

If we hypothetically removed all caster characters from the game, we would be able to see more clearly bowazons are exactly where they should be from a game balance perspective: can comfortably clear hell content with reasonable gear, and still find some challenge or danger soloing players 8 content with top tier gear.

I don’t disagree with you and tbh I dont play Zon and haven’t in a very long time , just the guy has a point too that’s all. Perfect world, it is not.
