Lioneye's Glare - Possibility for a nerf on an overpowered item?

If someone knows of a thread where a discussion on this topic is going on, please direct me to it.

Lioneye's Glare is absolutely ridiculous and overpowered. Kaom's heart, a very strong item, has a con to it. You cannot socket items into it. Basically every unique has it's downsides. That is not to say this fact, in and of itself, is enough to justify a nerf on lioneye's.

However, here is how i see it.
The top phys % roll you can get on a bow + the top flat phys on a bow are not enough to put that bow's innate dps higher than lioneye's. Now, add in some elemental damage on top of that. There goes our three prefixes.
Suffixes: decent chance out of 3 suffixes to get attack speed increase.

Lioneye's has Phys dmg % (huge % max) and flat damage, attack speed, and mana. It also gives a skill that does not even exist! Someone please add something more intelligible to my post. I have no time to make a cogent argument. Lioneye's needs a nerf though. End of story.

It is ridiculous that there is a unique that exists which makes it so EVERY SINGLE CRAFTABLE BOW is still less powerful than it. No other unique has this attribute, unless you are operating a specific build (facebreakers is the only item for facebreaking, for example). Lioneye's is the "ideal" bow for every single bow user.


EDIT: please point me to these "better bows"

You are one jelly bro.

Stop crying for nerfs please.
Same what people did in Diablo 3 all the time and what did they do , they just nerfed the shit out of classes (except barb). Sorcs were a piece of shit at the end.

You may cry for buffs but please stop claiming nerfing items.

And no I do not have Lioneye's yet, I wish I would.

I ended up on reading this thread, and it actually kinda makes sence to me. This bow is really huge, and ... well ... static blow is now the ONLY thing that would make a bow ranger get to the left side of the three, having this bow. It it a bit too much ridiculous.
Even the mana bonus is ridiculous on it -___-.

so, just a bump for this thread.

I don't see any other item being that powerful in the game atm.

There are FAR better bows than lioneye.
So, let's give an answer as useful as yours :

"no."

This "X works therefore we should nerf it" shit really needs to go. There's very few things that feel OP atm while most things feel very UP, how about we bring everything up first?

Finished 18th in Torment/Bloodline 1mo Race - peaked at 9th

If there are very few things that feel OP atm, they need to be fixed, that's what an OP item is, it is OVER-powered.
If there would be more than just a few, it would maybe wiser to up the other things that feel underpowered, it is actually ( imho ) not the case.
