Is Reach of the Council TOOO good?

I love this bow, I managed to drop one 5 days after the league started and it financed my entire build. Now I just need another one for collection purpose, I'm still using voltaxic for everything else (people who thing it's trash now are utter retards).

I think of it this way... one of the weaknesses of my ranger is that they have 4200 hit points and unless you are perfect you are eventually going to wipe yourself out with reflect. So this bow allows us to adjust our gear and passive tree for survivability while still maintaining killing power.

Or, if you like, you can have an 11 shot tornado killing spree with chain and blast through things till you hit a couple things that reflect or explode on you and die once in awhile.

Lets just leave it how it is.

All love this bow because + 4 arrow . Good but you must go shadow ...With another bow shadow build you can remove inc crit chance and again its 7L bow but you can choice your skill . All its about shadow 0.5 crit and i hope they dont nerf this because i spend some many ex for next build with shadow . I have 1 deadeye in std with strong gear .When i do uber i dont need move in fight to avoid something .This bow cant do this .Its 1 very nice bow for lvl up and mobs and its good if its cheap .Ripper build with kaom tank atziri easy .I do atziri MF ripper build 4L and can do 4L easy t12 maps . Its only 1 nice bow for mobs . Its strong because its cheap and new in game .And better say shadow its 1 very good choice for crit builds .

of course it is
so is voidheart

You know it's okay for stuff to be strong.

It's a freakin ARPG, stop nerfing the item hunt. Whatever is the next strongest or the latest fad will just get nerfed it seems.

fits perfectly well in today's faceroll meta.

Back in 2k12 6 base crit would be a drawback. Heh.


My problem is, how can a bow effectively have free GMP and still have 350+pdps lol. Fuck rares? ok.

They use to say that they didn't want Uniques to be outright BiS, asides from things that gave build enabling mods, a good rare would always be better.

But, now, they don't do that anymore. Uniques can be BiS, or completely useless, or somewhere in between. Reach isn't "Too strong", because that's not a thing anymore, and if you hate the Bow that much just console yourself with the fact it's league exclusive.

Fuck rares indeed. Literally no reason to even attempt to craft any weapons right now for 2H melee and bow users. If its not atleast 750 DPS for 2H on the craft, not as good as Disfavour. If its not atleast 500 DPS, Reach of The Council is probably better. Its actually mind boggling that they put Reach of The Council in such an easy fight in comparison to Atziri as well.

No idea why people all of a sudden pissing their shit off.

Shavs still BiS for all low life builds.
Headhunter is still BiS for all top clear speed builds.
Volls Devotion is BiS for discharge builds.


GGG really should nerf the fuck out of all these uniques as well.
