To the devs: the struggle of elo and frost bow owners

[Oursizes]

I wish the difference was still 20-30 damage. Maybe STS could buff it like they did with the 31 mythic bow back in shuyal and make some elondrian op daggers 46. The Frost bow is relatively new and shouldn't go out like this.

It was released 7 to 8 months ago and elon bow was released a bit over a year ago if im not wrong..

[Dex Scene]

Just don't sell it super cheap.
Its better to dust in the inventory then to sell for ridiculous price.
Imagine level 36 mythic helm armor are selling for 100k next expansion!

[ucupduyeh]

mytic will be the same in 5 lvl higher legend wepon, arcane 10lvl.

[utpal]

it's always been.like this LOL.
lvl26 arcane =lvl31 mythic=lvl36 legendery
I.e. arcane item will be best at current cap, good at next cap and not bad after 2cap.
same.like mythic, it will hold good for 2expansions. so a lvl46 legendary almost at par with lvl41 mythic is not surprising. u can still use lvl41 mythic stuffs to new elites.

Guys I think we should let the expansion have its time. Time for the new gear to come in and slowly phase out the old ones. It's easy to get complacent and sit on old gear and not want to move on with the times. But new expansion demands new, better gear. I'm one of those who has had to make the choice of whether to part with my mythic bow or not. But I chose to sell mine and use the new weapons because I'm ok with letting go, even if it was at a monetary loss. It's expected with the new expansion and new gear replacing the old.

Bear in mind like other people have said, the new bow is not superior to the Frost/Elon bows. The mythic bows have useful procs while the new legendary bows have no procs to speak of.

In the end shaking up the distribution of gear in the game only helps keep the game from getting stale. There's no point seeing the same weapons for almost 2 years with no change. Embrace the new things the expansion has to offer and have fun farming

Actually the giant bone bow of force that im using has arcane patch proc and +3-5% crit for a while too for whole team. I find it extremely useful of course, and i got it extremely cheap at the start at someone who didnt know their prices listed it for 55k.

We need better farmable level 46 legendary belts now having almost same stats of mythic belts.
We also need farmable top class helms armors and rings if everyone wants the gaps to be ended. Who cares about losses right?

[mmaachilles211]

Right so this is me with bow now unbuffed in any way shape or form...for those carrying around those new sharp looking bows please post a ss with what it brings you too so I can compare. Trying to see how much better it would be.

For clarity the only gems I use are para and eye gems and the only other para I have is in rendtails and everything else is fully eye gemmed.

Edit: I think the smartest thing I read on this post was that damage wasn't the only stat...it's not all about damage, it helps but to be good you need balance and useful procs imo.

[Xorrior]

The new Legendary bows do proc. Mine snares like ethyl but with a way smaller AoE radius and sometimes it can chance to proc a second snare effect. Never looked to see if it boosts my stats a little tho.

[vawaid]

yes fix it, make arcane ring 100m++ again, make elon and frost bow 21m again

is this your wish?

[Jazzi]

Just wanna add:

After doing some tests, if you have a myth bow and a new legendary bow which give you practically the same damage in the character sheet, the mythic bow will still give you MORE skill damage. As some rogues know and others should know the rogue class is all about the skill damage, because of the short skill cooldown. The mythic bow provides about 5% more skill damage, which in practice, due to the way skills work, is like having one more nox bolt shot per combo. If you think about how many combos you release per t3 run you will realise that this adds up to a lot of additional damage.

To conclude: The mythic bow is still the BEST rogue weapon. However the new legendary bow, with its proc, gives players with lower resources a "fighting chance". Imo this is more than needed and good for every one.

Thank you bud for basically validating what I already felt think I'll stick with my myth

When you buy new expansive gear, expect it to lose value and be replaced with something better within 6 months. If it lasts longer than that be happy.

Also If you don't consider the loss of most of the gold spent on the new gear worth only 6 months of it being the best then don't invent in it. New gear always loses its value quickly. It's the old discontinued stuff that retains its value.

2 procs. 1st proc is that circle which occurs if the arrow hits an enemy which basically drastically reduces their movement speed. Second proc(the purple glow on your toon) increases your crit by 4-5% for a certain amount of time. These two proc at the same time, and end at the same time too I believe.

Just a question.

i do read long ago i think maybe more than year.

i ll try to say with example what i do read coz bad english.

lvl 36 arcane = or > than 41 mythic.

36 mythic = or > than 41 legendarys

= mean same.
> mean hight

Do i wrong?

And yes i dont care if 41 mythic cheaper or not... but if i do wrong OR stg changed theys way, than 46 mythic ring must be better than 41 arcane ring WiTHOUT SET BONUS STiLL MUST BE BETTER.

46 mythic must be better than arcane 41 ring on just ring compare.

Adding onto Jazzi, let us not forget that many bows are filled to the brim with Paracelsus gems which makes the new bow irrelevant.

I wouldn't say "many" in the grand scheme of things. I'd be surprised if there were more than 30 full para mythic bows in game.

True, but there are many bows that have at least 1 Paracelsus gem. Even if it has just 1 Paracelsus gem over the new bow, the old mythic bow will be far better.

[Alhuntrazeck]

Lol, don't worry about it, its a game. Things will get phased out eventually. Can't kick butt forever with the same gear.

Speaking from experience, I bought my mythic amulet for 9.5m (8.5m recipe + 1m bar), took a break for a month (after crafting it), I come back, and immediately after the 2x fossil chance weekend hits which means the recipe plummeted to ~2m. I made a loss of 6.5M and didn't even get to play half the time! You should just move on and focus on new gear, you got to use that bow for 2 months which is a long time!

[Aerodude]

I actually love love love how these new bows are nearly better than 41 mythic I mean like I'm a lvl 41 with Terra bow of pots and now I have fighting chances against mythic people even if I don't have mythic so thank you StS

[Pillowhead]

Why do you want 300+ more dmg than a normal player? Does that make sense?
This way the rich players get around 10-20 more dmg than the normal players if they want to invest a couple of millions, up to you.
