New 6T1 Wand, 99% perf, 1% crit off.

Surpassing Foe bite (432.64) vs 474.15.

Mirror fee TBA.

I guess, the question comes down to, How good are wands per say, Aoe nerfed, frost wall shotgunning removed, Less linked sockets compared to bows (Brood Twine), 5-8k Es on average, and most of all, no useful meta Whirl blades/ Shield charge, Movement Skills, mostly relying on movement speed/ 4 linked lightning warp.

Wand nodes are weak/ kinda outta the way, however they're in the Es region, Bowers struggle on Es and leg kaoms offer nice life, but Es>life meta atm, and 2 6L on Ci versions.

Comparatively, Brood offers a Much higher phys base, when compared to wands, when both are using Barrage skill, not to mention, bows have more links + built in Ms on nodes.

Only way, I can see wands winning, is enabling shield charge with wands.

Discuss, & what do you think about the possible 3.0 new tierlist / Ggg's word. not ALL unique's, receiving A touch up/ rebalance?

You can use the wand with a 650 es titanium though.

yeah not really sure where you're getting 5-8k ES from. Also most wanders are playing pathfinder with alchemist's quicksilver of adrenaline for movement, not lightning warp.

Wands have insane scaling through passives, they are definitely not weak. Tempest blast gives 30% added dmg as lightning and you also get 10% fire dmg and 10% cold dmg as added damage, how is that not good?

Add shavs and go low life for max deeps. Kinetic blast>LA for aoe clear imo

Bow nodes usually only scale crit/and or phys dmg while wand nodes are increased dmg with wands which allows you to scale elemental dmg too. Idk if its a big difference though. Bow nodes also kinda got buffed recently
Bow builds get +1proj from quiver which is hard to compansate but wands have way higher aps than bows.

I would go wands over bows just cuz Id like to do an old school crown of eyes+shavs wander.

In the end a signal shot brood twine would most likely be better all around but if you use brood, glyph, foe or this new wand you are gonna faceroll most content anyway.
From what ive seen wanders have better single target against shaper buti ts just random youtube vids. Havent actually seen a proper comparison

Wanders absolutely destroy all content... even with trash wands. You can scale so much damage through auras if you have a shit wand...

Put this thing on.. and you are a GOD. You will one shot all packs basically.. and probably rares (my mediocre set up I could already do that)

Your single target with the barrage enchants and point blank and flat scaling is nuts (I could blow up 1-15 maps in seconds) Guardians were do-able / shaper / atziri and breachs were jokes.

With something like this I would have gotten another 1.5 "more" multipliers... As a wander I'm pretty confident I could be competing with all the "top unethical" builds for damage output.. having just as much if not more.

To give you and idea my barrage was around ~280k per shot.. most bow builds are typically capping out with like 400k per shot.. With this wand i'd figure you could hit the 450k+ range.

Not to mention you can wear a shield.. that's so stupidly strong. hello second chest plate with more ES / Resist

relying on quicksilvers alone just doesnt cut it.
