Just curious if anyone in the RoS Beta has found the new level 70 version of a Windforce yet?
I've been a WIndforce user for a very long time (was by favorite d2 weap), and i refuse to give it up! I do wish it's damage was a little more competitive with Manticore, but it is still fun as hell pinning mobs up against a wall with the knock back.
Just curious if it got a damage buff... and curious what they did with the life steal that was on it.
I've only found one Manticore as long as I've been playing D3, and a Windfore I found ended up being way better. I haven't seen the Beta versions, but adding Chill and Knockback together could be a pretty cool combo. Bernie, I was also thinking the other day about the Life Steal aspect. Definitely don't think it should roll with Life Steal on it standard if Life Steal is reduced to zero at level 70, but then, what does it roll with?
In fact, side bar...what does that mean to low level legendaries, that might have Life Steal on them? At lower levels, that's a totally viable playstyle, but at Level 60-70 and onward, will legendaries just roll something else besides Life Steal?
Anyways, not only will Windforces be awesome, but Enchanting will give them the ability to be even more so. I mean, Manticores are basically the ranged/DH equivalent of Skorns because of the innate Attack Speed and Crit Damage rolls and Socket...if Windforces can have sockets enchanted onto them, and get higher tier Emeralds than just Marquise? Windforces won't just be damaging, they'll also have some interesting effects.
Sidebar #2...I wonder what legendary effects Manticores will have in the expansion?
Well a chill effect is cool and all but i'm actually kinda bummed if they bumped to knockback down to 20%. My current windy has 44% knockback which is pretty sweet spot. As Efrye said you don't actually get that percentage in game with the DH skill's proc co-efficents (except for shock collar, that is pretty fun with the windy, even with the crappy 90% damage). So anything less than say 40% would kinda suck as far as knockback goes. Unless they adjust proc rates. Anyone remember how sick windy was on a D2 strafeazon? Thats the kinda knockback i want!
I was hoping if they ditch the lifesteal on it they would put something more interesting that a random stat in its place. Maybe a piercing effect or something, idk. If I were to re-roll my current windy the life steal is definitely the stat i'd ditch.
