Storm Cloud just feels like a really bad version of Quill Rain...am I missing something here?

it has godly ligthning dmg on it u cant get that from normal item till ilvl 51 and its a longbow u can use it from lv10 to end game and it gonna be common as fck perfect for leveling item.

Sounds like a strictly racing/leveling/pvp item. How can you possibly use this up to endgame?

Why do you think every single unique should be used at end game? This bow has so many uses, but being used by level 80+ isn't one of them.

i'm trying to think of how that bow can be used, but i just can't...

don't most normal bow attacks do damage based on physical damage or a conversion of physical damage? it seems like it would be terrible for most skills.

No no you misunderstood. I'm perfectly fine with it being low level. I was just going off of Ceykey's comment of it being viable endgame.

I did, I apologize!

That bow will probably have a few builds centered around it. Only requiring 40 dex but getting 1.8 APS which normally requires 179 or 212 dex is pretty good.

I don't get why everyone seems to want every Unique to be an endgame item. One of the things I liked most about D2 uniques where the fact that you could use certain uniques to cover every stage of the game (but then, I also didn't glitch rush to level, so there's that).

It goes without saying I agree.

The chance of Tipua or now Storm Cloud dropping in a race is part of why I so happily race.

There was some talk of introducing an 'upgrade unique' recipe (as you could do in D2LoD), but I think that'd easily break the game, moreso here than D2.

those new uniques are garbage

Ignorance much?

For LA the bow is fantastic
For any mana/aura/curse whore the ammy is a godsend.

I was excited when I saw that amulet, but then as I looked at my own with +31 to all attributes and similar increases to mana/mana regen I just kinda sighed. The reduced requirements would be handy for my build (summoner doesn't want dexterity for haste aura) but I'd rather stick to a +all attributes amulet for a slew of other increases that come with increase attributes.

Here is the problem... they make the game so incredible unforgiving in terms of the amount of damage that you are going to NEED to be able to tank. And then... they release uniques like this.

On the one hand, they say, "GET TANKY OR ELSE"

on the other

"Here some uniques that are super quirky and don't aide in durability whatsoever"

If these truly are to be considered "racing uniques" then why are they flooding non-race RNG drops with this crap?! Right now for my LowLife build I pretty much NEED a Shavronne's Wrappings because of the way that they pack every inch of every other map with chaos snakes. But now I have to content with all these other "racing" uniques all in the RNG. THANKS!!!
