I'm sure this once again shows my lack of understanding of Diablo but how do quivers work?
Obviously you canot use a two-handed sword and a shield but can you use a bow and a quiver? or a crossbow and a quiver? Otherwise quivers would be just like having a second one-handed crossbow? While the latter seems to be the case I hope they've found amore specific use for it.
Yeah, but a normal bow takes two hands and you can use a quiver. I think you can use a quiver no matter what with a bow.
You are correct, sir! Bows/Quivers are just the exception to the rule. I think it's to make bows viable next to 2h crossbows and 1h crossbows, which are either heavy hitters or a fast shooters. IMO it's a pretty interresting concept.
I like the idea too. It makes a 2-handed bow viable with the right quiver. Maybe even better all together if you can find a quiver with some sweet attributes.
Since this is mostly about Quivers and how they work (and considering they're unique at that, since Orbs and Mojos can't be equipped if you have a two-handed weapon), I'll move it to the DH subforum.
I think quivers are extremely interesting and will ultimately add a nice balance to the game. Im sure bliz did not want everyone running out with 2 1 hand xbows. And even the lowest quiver you can get all come with 10% ias, so hopefully the %ias increase will be very large end-game!
Quivers can be used with one-handed crossbows, I believe. Two-handed crossbows and bows take up two hands.
So, your weapon combinations are these:
One-handed crossbow + quiver
Two one-handed crossbows
Bow + quiver
Two-handed crossbow
You can equip a quiver with a 2h crossbow
The idea is DH's can equip quivers when they use either a bow, xbox, or a single 1h xbow, so that dual wielding 1h xbows isnt the hands down best strategy.
EDIT: to clarify, bows and 2-h xbows function identically in regards to equipping quivers.
Quivers are my favrite item type as of right now! They are a very cool way of improving the DH damage when bows are tipically weaker (because they are ranged...?) I am excited to see how they effect end game damage choices especially since you can use them with both 1 handed and 2 handed bows. Although it could just be that the best DH weapon combinations do not include the 1-hand +quiver. Too bad we can't yet compair high level 1 hand and 2 hand crossbows.

If that made sense to you, Bravo! I think I even confused myself...

So you can equip quivers regardless of your weapon combination, except for two one-handed crossbows? Did not know that. Guess it makes sense when you put it that way.

Think you meant to use the word "including" instead of the word "except", but yes.
To reiterate once more: you CAN equip a quiver when using a 2-handed crossbow

Unless you can use a quiver with two one-handed crossbows, then no, I meant "except."
