Stuffs I don't like about these weapons.

Crit 2 handed weapons might be a mistake as they could become the only base people use now when going 2 handed limiting gear diversity.

ggg already did that mistake - with Harbinger bows. Harbs (and Decimation bows as these are separated ONLY by .1 APS) are end game bows. all other bases are used only if luckily rolled and even then - sold and replaced with Harb

Some seem stronger, but I guess that's the point.

From Marrakesh with Love

would like to see a wand with attack speed or something other than spell damage I've brought it up in the original closed beta but still looks like it's not happening well maybe someday. I say attack speed cause I love wanders and with the removal of the old arm bands (that had the attack speed on it) everything to deal with wands/spirit shields and what not are always spell damage

Holy mother of cows, 13 base types ! I'm actually most hyped for the new claws !

WOW caster will finally use some non unique staffs.

.

- I'm curious if the "3% global defenses" is going to be a 'up to 6%' with Iron Reflexes or still just a 3%

- Hope they get more possibilities for Crit on tree for Staves and Axes

- Still no Melee Shields :( :D those would be dope to dual wield :D

What about Spears?

Sad to see we dont get 1H curved blades :( any chance of maybe seeing a 14th base added buys for 1H curved? Im sure there will be a lot of love for them, go on chris you know you want to.

so the situation before when people only used thickets with occasional use of imperials was better right? when people only used those 2 bases rather than the new BiS bases?

No, it was the same situation, and actually a wider variety of bow bases are used now than before the Harbinger change. Its not a mistake, its an understanding that theres always going to be the bis base.
