it just comes down to if balance is a feasible goal. when you're letting in offmeta builds in an untested environment it isnt, imo. we as players with 10 years experience can have an idea of what's good and what's bad, then shit can go sideways. Trix once took 3rd in a HUGE field tourney on a v/t, even with a heavy amount of barbs people were shocked. i once took 3rd on my shock pally in a tourney, everyone but me was shocked but i eat zons omm nom.

but my bow isnt dupe worthy, its a dupe :P. just a rare one with very few left. once 1.10 hit bowas used less and less xbows. and most died out.



i agree with everything youve said, and okay so its a dupe, im not a fan of dupes being used in tourneys in general, id feel the same way in an s tier tourney about rune dart and i am sure other ppl agree, if someone wanted to use a robo xbow zon thats just fine, so rly it actually is atleast somewhat about the items, when ppl r trying to push the use of known dupes and/or hybrid runewords. ill honestly never agree with that, i even use a random all blue gales barb for fun but id never try to play it in an event, guess thats just me.

but yeah you are definitely right and i totally understand your feelings on all of it. but no dodges in the event like you said it just doesnt balance out. talked to ted last night and he rly seemed to like the idea of 1 s tier char per team 2v2 tourney, even tho its not an option. i guess we will see which he chooses to go with though in the end. ill prob be happy with whatever he chooses since it looks like fpk is out, being that it has such few votes.

avenged had a robo xbow zon on west, 6 sox instead of 4-5 from bow classes helps a bit. u get an extra jewel in ur robo or at least the extra shael isnt an issue, however u look at it. just a big dmg boom char for kicks, but ya my bow takes it to a new level. honestly 250 bolts is annoying even tho i rarely go dry. just more trips between duels, in tvt tho it might run out in a prolonged duel.

ive been of the opinion that rare dupes are 100% GM since duped 8-18s and other jewels have been in use for some time. VERY few rare dupe weps are overpowered compared to a good robo. even dart isnt as good as a top notch robo ash. gales arent as good as rares or even robos. etc. but i get it, we spent 10+ years NKing dupe users.

funny thing, i was actually fuckin around like 3 weeks to a month ago, and i put my 2 gales on my gg regular barb so that hed be just like the barbs of old that everyone played, just the way he looked was a blast from the past.

honestly the AR and dmg were bonkers, like 1.7k ww per hand and 7k ar

years back Hasted wasnt looking to sell it. but had leads, all the leads didnt wanna sell or had lost them to expiration. then finally hasted started letting some stuff go to xpac side without worrying about it. and RQ on classic is just a stash piece anyways. only use is Xpac xbow LLD zon to really get out of it what it is.
