Obliterator Quiver as intended?

[Dennisthemenace]

There was a legendary item before lacking some stats that was not as intended.

That got me thinking about the Obliterator Quiver.

It has no armor and no range haste. Increases your ranged max damage by 57% when equipped.

Was the no armor and no range haste done on purpose or is this item too not as was intended?

Dennis:

From the view point of an archer, I'd say this quiver is working as intended.

The 57% increase to maximum bow damage, combined with the Demontendon Bow (the bow with the highest maximum damage) and Demontooth Arrow (the arrow with the highest maximum damage), would be devastating, specially if the user also has an R5 Broadhead Aura and Epic Rune of Pain.

This could produce a tremendous amount of damage for an opening ambush shot, making this an ideal set for a melee fighter who likes to use a bow for the first shot.

It could even be useful to a dedicated bow fighter who has an R4 or better Swiftarrow Rune and an R5 Range Haste Aura. The amount of damage this set could do would make maintaining R5 Broadhead and Range Haste Auras easy if the player equips R4 Mana and Energy Theft Runes. A dedicated bow fighter using this set should probably have very high dexterity (higher than my 400), as the set will fire so slowly you wouldn't want to miss very often. I'll let someone else run the numbers, but estimating them, this set could probably tri-shot kill a heroic mob up through about Goblin Swamp, perhaps higher, if all three of the tri-shot hits produced high damage.

This set could also be useful to an archer in the arena against tanks with high armor class and Hellram Armor. The damage produced by this set would blow right through those Hellram shields, and the damage potential would be high enough that even high armor class won't mitigate all of it.

I'm actually considering this set as my secondary set. Be a while before that happens though. I don't make game gold all that fast.

It looks like Glitchless has really put a lot of thought into these legendary weapons. The various combinations available are opening up totally new play styles. We won't be seeing everyone equipping identical gear.

It's lack of stats are correct.

Archer/Ranger with 100 in ce, cs and ss
Pain r5
Broadhead r5
Demontendon bow, arrow and obliterator quiver
Enough cnc/int to get 50% max damage bonus
100 serial crit
Any level megacrit
100 exploit

278 + 193 = 471
471 * 1.5 = 706.5 (stat bonus)
706.5 * 1.65 = 1165.725 (max serial crit)
1165.725 * 2 = 2331.45 (megacrit)
2331.45 * 1.57 = 3660.3765 (quiver)
3660.3765 * 1.1 = 4026.41415 (pain r5)
4026.41415 * 1.1 = 4429.055565 (broadhead r5)
4429.055565 * 1.15 = 5093.4139 (archer)
5093.4139 * 1.04 = 5297.150456 (ranger secondary)
5297.150456 * 1.25 = 6621 (exploit after 25 hits)

Can open with a 5297 megacrit.
and do up to 6621 megacrit if you did 25 shots.

I think that's everything,

With rune gems and Regulus/Aliangel BPs the archer can hit fast enough, huge bonus to max damage compences lack of AC stats and haste, just another masterpiece of great minds <3

[Tridius]

with aliangel tier 3, swiftarrow r5, range haste aura r5 it has a delay of 35. Which isnt too bad tbh.
Also, with demonskull sleeves and legs it can do even higher damage. But I think you'd be better off with raiden and dex enchants.
