Archery Mod Items

[booster]

It probably wouldn't be a problem if all of the overcap mods were just considered bonuses and nothing were balanced around having them, sure. I keep hearing from players doing newer content that things like cmal 4.3 need stacked dps and issues like the nerf to the vah banner completely changed things for them. There were various threads about the vah banner nerf in fact. That does make it seem that there are issues with certain items/modifiers and content being balanced around the use of them rather than these things just being bonuses that are there but not really needed.

At my tier it doesn't even matter that I have them except to help pick up the slack for other people's characters that aren't on the level they need to be for the content. It's more a concern thing here and wouldn't really affect me all that much if overcap skills didn't do anything anymore.

you have no idea what 4.3 entails so please dont reference it

evocation +25 adds 5% damage, there is no fight IN THE GAME. i repeat. NO FIGHT IN THE GAME that requires casters have 5% more damage

ITS ALL A BONUS. just drop it.

for a long time i thought block was super cool and tried to get +25 but then i grew up and progressed

I actually lived without +25 archery mod for a while and it didn't hurt that bad. The difference from +15 to +25 is like 1% accuracy at most and 1% dmg at most, its really minimal. Actually, if i remember correctly, +25 archery is only 2 or 3% more accuracy and dmg. I know there's a thread somewhere about it but i'm too lazy to look it up because im going to sleep.

I'd take away the Backstab and Archery charms and make sure no item ever had more than +5 in a second if I thought I could get away with it without being drowned in all the bitching.

I'd be in favor of higher distribution of mods/lower individual item mods instead of the current system regarding archery. Rather than feeling like I "need" a few key peices of gear forever (i.e. +10 mod items) in order to remain capped, it would be cool to have more selection available in order to pick and choose the best combinations available.

Granted, I might whine at the idea of having to reconfigure my whole gear setup, but I think it'd be a positive change in the long run.
