Bowzon gonna Shrek everything in pvp can’t wait for harmony to slap n clap pub games with my mav helm and plain 60 ias armor
Rofl @ free 240%+ extra damage from synergies and bonus dodge/evade/avoid changes
There at least 10 builds that needed a buff more that bowas, plus insight bows gave them an early/mid game buff already
That +240% extra damage equates to a net ~20% increase while wearing top end gear which 99% of bowazons will never get.
Do the research or just read the other 100+ “nerf bowa” threads that popped up. Others who know the game mechanics way better than I do made the calculations.
Edit: and no, maxing MS should not be on a bowazon’s to-do list, so that 240% is not even 240% in optimal builds
Yeah sounds about right 1k or so damage increase if base is 4k,sounds right. 10k sounds better than 8k if a deadly strike hits, even if reduced.
Still far away from 24k hammers and blizzards if you ask me.
Look, I’m in Hell mode, lvl 86, full dex glass cannon using WF @150% IAS breakpoint with realistically attainable gear by casuals. Build is playable in /p1, but still have to shoot multiple volleys to take act 4 and 5 mobs down. It’s nowhere near my javazon, hammerdin, blizzard sorc or even trapsin.
You’re so afraid of getting someone new in that exclusive S tier club? Well don’t be, bowazon won’t be S tier even with these buffs

Instead of bringing something up to the S tier, why not knock down the S tier instead? It’s called balancing. This isn’t balancing; this is making the game too easy.
Oh I’m all for this my friend. But my impression is that’s never going to happen
While I agree, that’s what we should be talking about in these forums. That’s what we should be telling them with our feedback; to nerf the overpowered builds.
If they bring up every class to be S tier, then the game becomes far too easy, and boring.

It probably would help if more people provided this feedback to blizzard. We should all be telling blizzard that we want less S tier builds, not more.

D2 pvp is degenerate to begin with. It’s just people either taking advantage of weird bugs or teleporting around like a crackhead throwing around self targetting skills. How people enjoy it at all is mind boggling.
Garbage opinion is garbage. Clearly, you were never very good at PvP.
How someone could simply play the same maps in PvM over and over again is mind boggling. PvP offers something different and new.
Also, bug fixes can be a thing, you know. Kind of the point of most patches…

I could also never understand people blaming PvP for being lame and then the same people are doing copy paste 100x Pit runs.

Strafe is ~70% more damage with usual pvp build (forti build with as much vita as possible).
Didnt account for cold and fire damage tho, but its not that big
Also, this is assuming you max multishot because its a synergy of both strafe and ga, which isnt the case on live server.
Finally, its with only 1 hard stated point in strafe as its often forbidden to put more in PvP.
it doesn’t matter if they are garbage or not, what matters is, if they are played or not.
People play physical bowzons, they just normally don’t start on them. There need to be some builds that are more dependant on gear than others…
What is played less are elemental zons. IMO they should have buffed freezing arrow more than physical arrows, which were just fine
