In regards to multiple shot, most amazons use it, so I’m not sure what you’re playing or watching. Too much PD2 for you. Strafe was always the dominant skill, people just had no idea what they were doing when building around it. Now, the damage is up and is still not quite as strong as it needs to be, but the problem is increasing it further makes their life leech uncontrollably strong, in virtually every scenario. I was already able to stand in the middle of all 3 ubers on players 8, and tank all 3 of them without ever dying with strafe prior to PTR. Now, I could put tape on my mouse and do it and not even carry potions for emergencies, or even be at the computer at all, because the 25% increase of damage skyrocketed our life leech values.
As far as the crushing blow with multishot, no. That would be too strong. WAY too strong. I do think though that the 50% decrease on CB to projectiles should be re-evaluated, and probably reduced to a 25% decrease. I think this would be far more reasonable. A 50% decrease to CB makes boss killing miserable.
Multishot was 25% damage reduced during the introduction of LOD or some time in that area, because multishot was so overused for PVP that people got frustrated, but I think the developers forgot to consider that multishot was only ever so strong in the first place, because PVP was taking place back then, during a time when hacked items ran rampant on bnet, and people had white rings, and a white bow, with a level 76 multishot, and there was no arrow caps on arrows back then. Then we ushered in the cap on arrows, as well as the damage reduction, but then over time, hacked items were removed, and we were just left with a shell of a once-cool character that was nerfed because they were too strong during the hacking days. An odd phenomena. It is safe to say, that multishot can be restored to its previous state as I have suggested before many of times, without breaking anything, but do not change CB to multishot, as this would be too strong, because along with that change would also come the change to proccing things like curses on striking. Witchwild/Atmas on switch with multishot would then be the nuttiest thing in the game.
Immo has problems. I usually have suggestions to fix it, but for this one I don’t, because it’s such an awkward skill as is.
Low resistances in hell is simply untrue. It either means you’re using gear that’s not resist friendly, or you made the mistake of building your character with damage charms instead of resist charms. That’s a tradeoff, and it’s on purpose. Achieving perfect of all stats is not what you want to ever happen, or you end up with a single perfect killing machine. We already have sorcs and pallies who are far too overpowered for that. Decisions need to have some form of consequences.
