The skill obviously needed some love, we'll see how this pans out. Also, using Strafe while leveling and early in endgame content until you get good enough gear for Multishot will feel a lot better. Single target was extremely lacking for Phys Bowazons so I guess this is an improvement. I'm not sure that is the intent, but that will be the result.

Strafe Change - Strafe will actually be the go-to single target skill, over Guided Arrow with this change. I would have loved to see GA be able to pierce once. A ~40% skill damage increase when you are looking at having over 1000% off-weapon ED anyway? Barely noticeable. Guided Arrow Damage - Laughable, to say the least. Great change.ĭodge and Avoid - I would consider this a bug fix, but it'll be nice if the animation lock is finally gone Mana issues are huge, and the damage on Insight is pretty darn good. Insight in Bows - This should actually help make starting as a bowazon a lot more bearable. I would also like to see Act 1 Mercenaries be able to use Amazon specific bows, as I could see character progression making you want to use Mist for yourself, and then put it on an Act 1 Mercenary when you get Faith, before you can obtain a Pride. I see it as basically a Windforce alternative. Mist could be a very good pre-faith bow, but cost may be prohibitive.

Faith is extremely good and I do not think further weapon power creep is necessary. Mist Runeword - This will not replace Faith for any build at top tiers, which is somewhat understandable. I also want to address what Blizzard did implement and how I feel that will affect the class moving forward. It is a tricky balancing act, though, with the mechanics of Multishot scaling your damage exponentially as it can hit multiple screens worth of monsters. I wanted to share my opinions on the changes, and what more needs to be done to make physical bowazons great again.įirst, I want to mention that I think physical bowazons are not as bad as many perceive, they are just extremely gear reliant to get there, and it feels like with that much investment the character should be a bit more powerful. I was initially very excited hearing that Blizzard was looking at bowazons for balance changes, but ended up being very underwhelmed with the changes coming in 2.4.
