Quivers Should Have Gem Slots

With that "aura fix" comming, why don't quivers have gem slots just like shields?

No because quivers are considered weapons , it's all about the balance yono ?
Because bows.
Casually casual.

Yeah true lol, I'm just trying to find a way..

6L bow full, Kaoms no slots, 3 x 4 Links for auras only (Aura fix)

I got no more room left =S
Yeah sorry I'm QQ'in

Edit: I guess i'll just remove my reduced mana gems in maps for Rejuv totem and enduring cry.. I'll be fine with that until that gets fixed :O

I found a way around the fix, but dropped to 6 auras, this might not be for everyone, but I'm soloing everything with it, ridiculous mod 75+ maps no probs. I fkn love it.

OK this is what I did.
Note, I'm self found, so the rings, ammy and quivers are picked from my available gear pool for the sole purpose of covering life and resists (and int). There is tremendous room for more deeps from those slots, which I'll address as I further tweak.



Resists are overcapped with 75 cap without purity, 79 with. Capped at 79 in EW maps with the help of 3 end charges for fire iirc. Purity can be swapped for blue curse. End cry can be swapped for decoy. WED swapped for LoH in silly maps.

Weapon swap for heavy ST, unsupported frenzy for light ST.
Purity, Determination, Hatred cast off of mana with RM.
Wrath, Grace cast off of life with BM and RM.
Anger cast off of mana unsupported.
Dropped Haste.

37 int required on gear for Wrath, but 44 required for mana if no mana on gear.


Life is at 6781/7253, 6748/7220 on swap.
10.5k armour.
10.4% life regen per sec (~750 lps).
11.4% life regen per sec if take bandit charge (~820 lps).

Mapping Gear










MF Gear swap


I drop anger while MFing and cast Wrath off of mana instead.
87/207 AoE, 108/317 ST. Use LA for trash, weapon swap for boss dps, Frenzy on gloves for kill on rares/uniques, drop determination to hit distillate just before kill blow.

While MFing
Life is at 6275/6542, 6242/6509 on swap.
10k armour.
79 all resists.
419 life regen per sec.

Casually casual.

Quivers can be used WITH a 6L, which is quite insane. They can have a fuckton of crit multi, increase your attack speed, and have tons of other strong offensive modifiers.

Shields cannot even compare since you can't use them with a 2H.

A staff might be the only comparable thing, since it's sort of "half" a shield and a weapon with the block chance, while also being a 6L.

If you are feeling limited by the lack of links on Kaoms, I suggest going CI... You then have access to a 6L bow AND a 6L chest (...while using a quiver...) And your ES pool will likely end up higher than your life pool ever was.

Yeah, that's the problem, CI> all.. :/

I actually agree; quivers should have 1-3 sockets, and bows should too.

Fuck ranged.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.
I like the idea of an offhand for 2-handed weapon users. I do not think that it should be available solely to bow uers.

If anything they should bring back the aura on weapon switch 'bug'. A lot of builds are gonna be hard pressed for gem slots, unless that's' exactly what GGG wants.
