So I guess so :)

And looking at other channeling skills, such as incinerate and flameblast, the cast time is prob alright.

Would also be quite interesteing to know what Quality affects, +dmg, +aoe, +crit strike etc...

AC: "single target melee".
Volley: "projectile".

any projectile skill (ranged) gets +2, no matter the area it covers while AC only works with close range skills that target 1 enemy. how fair. GGG hates melee. I want my AC lacerate 4 blades possibly overlapping center (or just a wide 2x hit zone) or super cleave and ground slams.

I think that new bow mod is a massive mistake GGG.

I don;t mind powercreep but favouring bows above any other weapon, and above all giving it a single mod that outperforms the best mirrored bows on standard... ouch..

I thought that the elder/shaper items were a way to easily get a 6L running, so we can easier get a single target skill and an aoe skill without weapon swaps and stuff... but i never imagined you would completely bust the game balance like that.

I mean ALL my friends ALL say they're playing archer now. ALL OF THEM.

well done.

how about buffing melee for once?

What makes you think bows are the only thing being favored here? That rare was just an example.

Not trying to troll you...honestly asking as maybe I'm missing something.

im assuming itll be used the most on bows and wands, because ranger is the class with access to the most dexterity.

if it is not limited to bows it's a bit better than i thought, but only really usefull on dex heavy characters, aka wanders / bow users.

more and more we see that melee is garbage and ranged does more damage and is safer..

I mean why even bother playing melee in POE am i right?
