Spell casters using a bow

It means poor itemization for staves really, is all.


Why bows are allowed to use quiver, and other 2-h weapons dont? Sure, 2 slots will trump one.
So either make bows 4-link max, or let other 2-h weapons use 2-nd slot too (banner, cloak, whatever).

xDDDD
A wand will give you more ES because you have a shield, so yeah you might only care about the most dmg, but a lot of people would rather have a shield.

So there's ups and downs for both choices, though it does throw me off to have witches and spellcasters using dex items and bows, i don't like it ethier.
When the best item for a spellcaster is a bow something in design is horribly flawed.

Staffs that are usually lorewise more of a wizard item is total garbage.

Someone has seriously messed up gamedesign.

That said, just use whatever is the best. Thats how this game works.

Quiver can have up to 99 life and resists (for life build its the same, as shield)
plus 2nd 6l... its just op...
Think all 2handed weapons should have something like this, or quivers should be removed...

They recently added gem slots to a quiver. 6L + 3L > 6L + 0L so just a matter of time.

Anyone else thinks it's dumb to use a soulrend with the bow equipped to get the maximum DPS? Although I am not against total freedom of choice, I find it silly that SPELL users benefit more from a BOW than for example a wand.



You see what happens when you make such posts? Now even White Knights use said bow...
