For anyone wanting 1H crossbows: Wasn't it general consensus that wands fulfill that role?

1. They can be dual wielded
2. They can have attack mods
3. They work with frenzy, barrage and elemental hit, just as bows.

Why bother having daggers, claws, axes or maces when one handed swords are basically the same thing?


I really want 1H and 2H crossbows.

Two-handed Crossbows are fine. One-handed crossbows is nonsense. Have you ever seen how real crossbow looks like? Try to use it with only one hand.

Question for you Chris, now that act 4 is almost here.
Will you continue running the devs in two seperate teams or will you have them all working on content together so it comes out faster?

silly question, separate teams. there are still 6 acts to add.

Agreed. Also, the Act 4 team's job is not done yet. =)

these new weapons suck big time!
because

Dual crossbows man, that's where the moni is :)

Love the new implicit modes, and the graphics too!

What about Spears?

That Spiked Maul kinda looks like a spear and the implicit suits it too. It will do. For now.

Katana Hype!

You won't find any complaints from my end! :D

I already liked Pillar of the Caged God

Neat.
Spear should be like 2h dagers by Implict mod, and like Katana in attributes.

Or it may be like Staffs but with Str\Dex requarements and fighter rolled mods.

Some of these look like they would make for a pretty interesting unique. What is the reasoning behind not having any unique being added based on these base types?


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

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.

two facts - difference between thickets and the rest was quite small and was in place ONLY because aura/flat ele builds were popular (hint: that was a long time ago in a completely different meta). thicket with similar rolls was at most 15% better than second 'best' (aspd difference). second - you are talking about situation when pretty much noone played bows and bows were yet to receive a series of serious buffs (nodes, base etc)

currently one can have a garbege-rolled harb and be good. crit/crit multi will make up for the difference. all what is needed it lucky alt/aug/regal + multimod == endgame bow. there are 100's of these on poe.trade

difference between bow bases is enormous, unhealthy and if anyone thinks it is a good thing.. well.. ok.

btw 350pdps thicket sells for ~5ex. similar pdps Harb for 50ex. coincidence? or maybe thats the difference? and you can get spine bow 350pdps for 3ex. no takers.

¿There will be an option in the filter files to filter this bases from the normal ones apart of making an entry for each type?
