Even sky hunter now is dead vs tempering :(

Dear god 3-4 unique bows and one was barely viable s3 and now all got even more power creeped because for some reason they dont let us temper unique once. like seriously one tempering power is already stronger than entire uniques effect, even condemnation is bad now :frowning:

They’re going to have to let us Temper on Uniques, there’s no way

True. Like one of the main reasons for running Skyhunter was energy recovery. But seems like with energy per second stats and energy per kill, this bonus from Skyhunter is unnecessary. And 30% dmg bonus from a 2-H weapon is also lacking. So yup, without tempering on it - this weapon has quickly become obsolete (again).

Or, they will have to buff uniques existing stats/effects.

Even before the new itemization, some uniques were needing some upgrades.

Did you read the patch notes dude ?
The gamble with obols at vendor have a chance to get unique items with 4 greater affixes
These are by far the best items in game.

“Essentially, this means that players will be able to gamble into Legendary items with up to three Greater Affixes, which, besides Unique items with up to four Greater Affixes, will be the best items to wear in the game by far. With this approach, Blizzard returns to its ARPG roots, turning Gambling in Diablo 4 into a high-RNG, high-reward system.”

Sadly a Skyhunter even with 4 greater affixes won’t be able to compete with a best in slot crossbow with

  • dexterity (GA, 328 dexterity)
  • crit damage (GA + 3 MW, 270%)
  • attack speed or life (GA, 65%)
  • close damage or marksman crit damage (246.5%)
  • chance to cast projectile twice (30+%)
