The returned of the "Reach of the Council Bow" most confuse reworked

So fucking bad. Confirms yet again that GGG doesnt know how to balance. Bows need high base damage.

there are several in delerium with 500+ pdps for less then 10 ex and same for standard

unique interaction =
main arrow = does nothing
1. arrow = returns does nothing on the way back in 99.99% the cases
the other 3 arrow have atleast some use but still i rather have 5-7 arrows with 2-3 chains compared to that bow lol

I mean, I just looked it up again. with just 500 pdps as a baseline, there's 6 for sale. 12 ex / 25 ex / 33 ex / 450 ex / 500 ex.

So again, your assertion that 'just a little bit of investment will get you a 500-600 (lol) pds bow' is WAY off.

Any good build for this unique in Farmville league 3.11

Wait, did you make that up? Is this another fan art made design? If this is real then

1. GGG really should start posting more on this site. Seems dumb to have to think the #1 best place for info on their on game isn't the actual website made for it. I'm not going to some 3rd party site when THIS is the official site. If you really don't want to post info then just delete the site or sell the domain and call it a day.


2. This is dead on arrival, vendor garbage. Just being honest and I loved this bow when it originally came out. After it was nerfed; it pretty much was done for. Having a near endgame level requirement on a low damage bow is retarded. Hate when they turn the few good unique bows and other items to shit, with nerfs; i.e. Quill rain and Reach of the Council.

Most of these endgame uniques are too crappy to have the level requirements they have. Also the bosses you beat to get the items, require you to have way stronger items just to beat them. So why bother dropping crap if it's not gonna be an improvement or even helpful compared to what we already have to use?

So assuming this is real then damn it let's get into this right now

You're right. After seeing your comment I went and re-checked. What I said still stands though

In another post here on the forums, he posted those and mentioned getting them from a 3rd party site. If GGG wants to keep us players informed with updates, then they should start posting them all on this site. That way it wouldn't even have to be a question of if something is fan made or gossip and rumors when speaking in global.

A crafted bow is way better.

Yeah a well crafted bow should always be the best raw DPS, uniques should be about interesting unique mechanics (even that was lost to rares nowadays).

Unfortunately this means that weapons with interesting mechanics can't work in this game unless they are already better than most rares in raw DPS, since most of the attack skills DPS comes from the weapon itself.

The only long term solution i can foresee would be reworking unique weapons (only weapons)to be similar to Elona living weapons. For those who don't know, these are weapons that level up with you (similar to how oni goroshi works). In Poe it would mean that each time the weapon leveled it would get a small base damage increment up to a determined level.

As long they balance it in a way that well rolled rares are still the best raw DPS option, this would at least give interesting uniques a fighting chance to be used in niche builds.

I just bricked a bow that have T2 accuracy + increase phys damage hybrid mod, and T1 flat phys damage.

It can have crafted increase phys damage .


I don't know how rare it is and the annulment bricked it by annual one of the aforementioned mod

I haven't search trade site before and then i figure out even it is T1 + T2, it probably very rare



T1 flat phys damage spawn weight is 200
T1 hybrid is 25
T2 hybrid is 50

(T1 increase phys is 25, T2 increase phys is 50)


My point is for bow, rare bow is relatively harder to craft . Even you can use fossil to block all ele added damage

Thus people just use unique bow for build. We knew good roll rare bow existed but at the same time it is hard to craft


Only +3 bow is very easy to craft. As +1 to socketed gem can be forced to appear by "cannot roll attack" mod, while +2 bow gem is essence, +2 support gem is craft mod from Jun/Mastermind.

Most bow skills are great at clearing, it's single target that they struggle with.
