For the love of god Blizzard, please do not add such a weapon again in the game! Or if you do, make sure that you add bad luck protection to all players that can use it.
The DPS increase it provides is insane. Having a typical 415 mythic bow is 6K less DPS in single target compared to Neltharax from LFR.
This creates a huge gap between the players that were lucky and the ones that were not. If you want to have such items in the game, make their acquisition deterministic. For example, for every kill on the boss in a certain difficulty, the player gets a “currency” and with 4 of them they can buy the weapon from a vendor. At least in this case, we could farm it and acquire this weapon after a sensible period of time.
The current system is just disappointing and frustrating.
I got the Bow of the First Khanam at 421 in my vault. The LFR Bow with 29 ilvl less still outperforms that bow by 2.6k DPS. There should never be an item that outperforms another item that has so many more ilvl. Never. The crafted bow is no solution, not even close.
Yeah that is not the case the bow is good do not get me wrong but sims with the bow assumes 100% uptime of the buff and very fast at max stacks, change target and you lose all but one stack.
Very rarely are you going to get full uptime like that.
I do find it weird how blizzard mentioned that they would not be balancing the game around the rare drops in this raid though and then it is done.
Honestly this bow is so essential to BM and so powerful for MM that I think that they should with immediate effect
1: As a band aid, allow people to create the neltharax bow by putting any bow into the catalyst, or alternatively, nerf the bow severely, and give all hunters a DPS boost of around the same amount the bow offers to compensate.
I like it because it’s not the normal -Higher damage with main+secondary stats- item compared to what you what from before…
Would like for more items with unique abilities on them to be released, for all classes and specs.
Have them based of the boss they drop from.
Wow is a bit boring in this regard, we’ve had “lore” items drop before. But usually it’s legendary items or they just have a special appearance(Gorehowl) and just another higher stat than the item you had type… They could do so much fun stuff with these, if they put the effort into it…
i have the bow but i do agree balancing 2 specs of a class around a super rare drop is a terrible idea i hate to think whats going to happen next season when we lose it it’s going to hit us hard
