Aw, this thread got moved from General. Now it looks like I'm actually suggesting that they retroactively change bows to have 3 sockets.

Well, at least I can have the satisfaction of knowing that someone at GGG saw my post. :P
yeah 2 handed axe can have 926 pdps maximum while a bow can maximum 608 pdps.

genius.

Yeah somehow people forgot that bows as a 2 handed weapon have lower rolls or/and base on mods than melee 2 handers.

probably because it makes more sense realistically? When your dual wielding, you have one hand on each weapon, versus 2 hands on a two hander. It requires more hands, thus it makes sense for those 2h weapons to have double the sockets. Bows also require two hands to use, plus you dont sit there holding an arrow quiver in your hand.

Nothing about the gem system even remotely reflects reality. Real world combatants don't grant themselves incredible martial abilities by inserting bits of silica into their weaponry. I think the OP makes a good observation.
Just wanted to point out that you don't hold a quiver you wear it on your back...

The real question is how can you use a bow without a quiver! where are you keeping the arrows, your pocket?!!

They're being magically made from the fragments of your soul you are spending to use such an evil thing as a thaumaturgical gem. Clearly. Kappa

But yeah, magic is the answer. The magic of Wraeclast.

nono, the real question is how you fit those 100s of thousands of arrows that you use without refreshing your stock at town.
