How would you nerf [Reach Of The Council] but still keep it Viable?
" If more projectiles is a unique mechanic, then the LMP and GMP drop rates and vendor availability need to be looked into. |

"LMP and GMP aren't unique items. unique items are those that provide stats or mechanics rare items do not. looks like you're arguing semantics... |

" To hell with everyone telling to nerf this beautiful rare item. Buff life on the right side of the tree! Just a little! Pretty Please!

" +1 for this suggestion. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

" that doesn't qualify as semantics. do not shame the glorious name of semantics. [s]only mindless sheep think labyrinth is OK to have in PoE.[/s]
okay nevermind labyrinth, fix dx9 blackscreen instead... |

" sure it does. 'unique' mechanic vs 'mechanic of a unique'. in his context, he sees a 'unique' feature of a unique item being 'unique' across the whole game. in my context, I see a 'unique' feature of a unique item only compared to rare/magic/normal item you can equip (and not a skill gem/jewel) empire's grasp is a unique with unique mechanic by both our definitions whereas reverberation rod has unique mechanic only by my definition Last edited by grepman#2451 on Jul 30, 2016, 3:14:55 AM

Didn't read all pages, but the one suggestion of it having +1-+4 arrows gave me an idea.
+1-+4 arrows roll and with each arrow it will also give less% phys/projectile damage +1 arrow 5% less dmg +2 arrow 10% less dmg ... You could actually find your own sweetspot with the amount of extra projectiles you want, depending what skill you use and if you have other sources of additional arrows and give it a little drawback Ign: LavaMosse TimeZone: GMT+2 Last edited by kaarelo#6451 on Jul 30, 2016, 10:35:40 AM

" lolz many posts about a nerf that won't happen. TS is just funny and reach is a funny item, it only really works for assassins because of its low crit and because of how stupidly op poison is atm. like the dude said; change the meta and rebalance that stuff, ROTC is fine as it is now and will stay fine as it is after the meta change, specially because its a league only. Also, they can "nerf" it by indirectly rebalancing (aka making them endgame usable) other unique bows which are trash atm. Maybe buff gmp/lmp. Buff life on the right side of the tree! Just a little! Pretty Please! Last edited by The_Risen#6326 on Aug 3, 2016, 12:09:39 AM

Not like GGG even care about the state of game balance.

I've been meaning for a while to run the numbers - realistically I don't care enough to do so but hey... Even without doing so, based on a 6% crit base which means inc crit strikes (versus no need for that and the ability to gain another more multiplier), this is basically a ~330 pdps 8.5% crit harbinger. Maybe 350 at a stretch. Dropping 2.5% base crit is probably equal to GMP damage penalty. Tell me if I'm wrong.
As some have said, the bow's not poor by a long shot. But thing is, how many of you bitched and moaned about a 600 pdps axe being added (more than you can roll on ANY rare axe with T1 %phys, aspd, flat phys)? Why do you care about a bow better than most well-rolled harbingers but you don't give a crap that Disfavour is better for lower cost than just about any rare on the market? Did you do your calculations prior to any ascendancies or just presume Reach plus poison = 1000000 dps bow whereas any other bow sucks cause dude I read a guide once...? Please, run the goddamn numbers to work out how much difference 3% base crit plus up to 230 pdps more a rare bow can add. People are posting hysteria about double-dipping, not real maths. No fricken way does a 6% base crit bow with 370 pdps equal a 600 pdps 9.xx% crit bow. Don't be dumb. PS: with that 3% base difference, you can actually not go assassin.
