Holy crap.

When I was 12 and part of the vlld community there was this guy named bodnar18 who totally scammed 2 years worth of grinding for vlld gear, fully maxed out 14 maxer jewels for my lvl 9 pally at the time. Had a rare eth self rep 2socket armor and a nice rare eth repair axe as well. Was xfering to start a new character and dude just wiped me clean.

The day I humbled Hahahaseo, everyone laughed about him and he immediately cried a PM to mods. 10/10

ISO more memeeeeeesssss

my dream project was a min dmg lvl 30 bowa, short sieged bow or something similar.

but never could get the numbers to work out that well due to the MAX / ar / life inventory being the only option.

had a stat sheet i was gonna make with something like 3x the min of a typical zon and less max, but made the xbow zon instead once i finally found rune quarrel.

yeah 500-1300 was like a howitzer d2r zons have it made now they have like 2k dmg or whatever with multi synergy

shame that with all of the changes to the game D2R devs kept x-bow ias frame capped. make no sense that a zealer can swing a giant 2 handed axe at 4pa, but xbow is capped at like 14fpa or w/e for "lore reasons".

I would love to see xbow gain 2-3 fpa in standard setups. I feel 2fpa gain would still make xbows a meme build but give them a stronger chance, a 3 fpa gain would make xbow a legitimate option vs building bow

E/ for numbers example we were at 15 fpa with deaths for xbow with 9 fpa soe/10ias gloves or 8 fpa with deaths for bow in legacy. Xbow can still win zvz with higher skill but in zva the xbow is just weaker.
