Hello EHG,
I’m loving almost everything about this new cycle and recent return to the game.
In almost every ARPG that I play, I tend to gravitate towards poison builds or cold-dot builds.
The new Heartseeker skill is hella fun, but I do wish it has a poison conversion option.
The couple poison nodes on its tree don’t feel like enough to get by when you factor in there isn’t many great quiver options outside of the rare/yellow Nagasa quiver. I’ve yet to see an exalted version of this so I’m guessing there isn’t even one? On top of that there are no poison-themed quivers so I’m continuing to use the rare Nagasa, but that is lacking in the end game.
Would love to see some kind of unique poison quiver later on; a generic one or one that focuses on changing Heartseeker and/or Flurry to poison - bonus points if they get matching green/poison animations.
I’ve been meaning to look into how to go about creating a supporter unique as well (if that’s even still a thing?).
About frostbite; the unique quiver is great for this, whether you’re using Puncture or not. It works for any kind of cold dot Marksman build and even changes Puncture to a blue/cold animation.
However, Reign of Winter bow is the slowest base in the game and all its stats are focused on buffing cold hit builds and its icicle proc.
Serpent bow and Acidfletch are great for poison, but when it comes to frostbite, you can sort of make a serpent bow work, but it’s far from ideal.
I would love to see some kind of changes or addition to Reign of Winter that also allows it to fit into a frostbite build, without giving all kinds of extra power to hit/crit builds. Not sure if this is possible.
The other option would be a different kind of cold-based bow, but I feel like that is less likely to happen compared to the above suggestion.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk
