That was some mighty nice hope crushing there.   Grin

The problem with Ratcatcher wasn't that it was too good. The problem is that there aren't really any other crossbows worth having until late Epics.

At least unless you happen to have an Epic Storm. And good fucking luck making one of those. Just 5 more runs of ADQ and I should have the shard.

...just in time. :rolleyes:

My question is... Is this their road map adjust every weapon with a non standard crit range till it doesn't outshine the mediocrity from the current content.
Bloom, Ratcatcher, Nightforge spike
If the THF changes work out of will the next lot be spinal tap, carnifex and ESOS?

Devs may call it "fixed" but I prefer the term "sour grapes"

They are nerfing a dart that doesn't even beat a knife thrower. At lower levels I rather have 20 dshot ( though IG you can swap out and get the dshot onto the dart ). By the time more ap comes around, I'd rather have 100 dshot, 1/1 crit boost, 10 damage/seeker vs whatever tree you think a dart even comes close to being close to VKF's burst.

Who doesn't already have S/S/S stored up for Epic Noxious Fang once?

Not to mentions Epic Ethereal and Sworn Silver.

ML15 Syranian might be useful. AFAIK Return to Sender is still broken/bugged. 

Thunderforged/LGS till 29 then RL/Syranian/Raid.

The idea of farming to make LGS or pull Raid loot is enough to make me cringe.

Return to Sender was fixed during U45 Lam at the same time LGS throwing daggers were fixed.

Who needs to pull raid loot when you already have 5000 idle PN runes?  Wide Open Sky is the defacto thrower at cap to use.

Meh.  Non standard weapons in heroics or low epics are nice for a strong build, but they don't make a meh build worthwhile. 

You are looking for bad ass stars, throwing daggers and THF weapons at this point.  Most of which are known.
