Default Are you happy with your Epic?

This poll is simply to gather numbers and see what the community, as a whole, thinks of their epics (both versions).

I don't want this to de-rail into a "which class has the best epic" or "what things need to be changed about our epic" sort of discussion/argument. I think that if we can just get some pure numbers together, it will be quite clear whether or not the developers behind each of these weapons have missed the mark.

I've made it multiple choice so that both versions can be considered.

Please vote only once for EACH version.

Default Re: Are you happy with your Epic?

If I only vote for one version now does that lock me out of voting for the 2nd later? I really dont wanna vote for the mythical till I try it out.

you can count me as a 'not happy' vote for the fabled though.
This ammo problem is getting to be really fucking stupid, and finally having a bow that should be an upgrade but isn't really makes that stand out A LOT. I've passed on Vol'drath in the past because I knew it wouldn't be an upgrade...but its just so much different when you can feel the lameness for yourself.

Default Re: Are you happy with your Epic?

There are too many ifs in this vote. I don't have my epic yet, but I assume I'll be happy. That doesn't mean all things are good and I would be happy in any case. Me leaning to the positive side results from this:

- IF arrows wouldn't be an issue, I probably would be happy in any case.
- Due to my current situation - that beeing probably never getting my hands on a RSB - even with the fucked up arrow mechanics it looks like the best bow I can get.
- I like the no min range on AA; it sucks that CAs got a min range enforced now, but the AA portion is still nice.

All in all it seems a good weapon, if arrow mechanics wouldn't be an issue.

Group version is fine for the effort required imo.I'll reserve judgement on the Mythical until I get it.

Default Re: Are you happy with your Epic?

I voted no on both the fabled and the mythical. Simply because the fabled version isnt going to provide any more DPS then a level 70 bow... which as already stated is an issue with another mechanic, but if your DPS doesnt increase when you upgrade to a weapon 10 levels higher, theres a problem... no consider how bad it is to have to take a loss in DPS when "upgrading" to a weapon 10 levels higher.

Sure the mythical version might be better, but only marginally so. The same basic mechanics are being used to. So the dps that we see comming outta that bow is still less then what it should be.

I might have liked it more if they didnt nerf the min range on it, but when you think about our level 80 "special" Coverage. We get rewarded with a damage increase to our next shot, as long as we are far far far far away from any attackable mobs. So which is it? In or fucking out? Where do you want us to stand? Someone make up my damned mind!

I agree, they should put a 20m range requirement on Fatal Followup!
