Most uniques are much worse than their crafted counterpart, the only good uniques are the XAL and the stunner added in heavy duty. Balors hammer was kinda on par until it got nerfed lol.

Hey man, thank for sharing your insight and prospective on the matter, it makes me wonder if this weapon was forgotten about in the balancing, but I would need to go back and carefully read the notes. the fact that this thing also dazes me for 2 turns though can be harsh. I stare at this weapon and want to make a build for it, but shut it down with "just craft X sniper instead". "BackInMyDay.jpg" this was a weapon you wanted to get your hands on. VERY hard to find too especially because you had to actually get your mouse over it, and there was no perception check. Maybe this gun will get a little rebalance but~

I will stop Roleplaying and just run what's meta lol.

Dude, please don't apologize - you did good to bring this to the surface. It should refund the full 50AP.
By the time the Black Arrow is found, anyone who are using a sniper rifle are most likely 99.99% already has it's own crafted instrument. But Shooting Spree is meant to refund ALL the AP needed for the shot.

With that, it is totally valid to have a Spearhead with Rapid Reloader and Smart Module for casual shots and an off-hand Corsair with Smart Module and NOT Rapid Reloader, but something else, like a Bipod - just for the shots with Shooting Spree. Since AP gets fully refunded anyway, it's pointless to have it reducted. With endgame gear however, I still use it with RR though as accuarcy stopped being an issue a long time ago, the 12.7mm special bullets are OP AF and most importantly: RR can refund an additional 10-20AP per turn, making you better off with AP after the shot than before. With Adrenaline and an Accelerated Temporal Contraction, you can shoot 5 times with a Spearhead per round, so the more chance you get for this to ignite for a potential sixth shot, the better, so you'll have Shooting Spree ready at least once at every single turn if you fully specced into it (especially with Increment).

Discussions / U4gm-Celebrate Diablo IV Season 9 with Twitch Drop Rewards
« Last post by Alam560 on August 01, 2025, 08:10:06 am »
As Sanctuary prepares for the chilling revelations of Diablo IV's Season 9, titled "Sins of the Horadrim," a new era of challenges, forbidden knowledge, and demonic encounters is on the horizon. To celebrate this significant expansion and strengthen community engagement, Blizzard is once again harnessing the power of Twitch Drops, providing players with a unique opportunity to obtain exclusive cosmetic items that perfectly capture the season's thematic essence.

Unlike the relentless pursuit of optimal stats and powerful legendary items, these Twitch Drops present a different kind of reward. They focus not on raw power but on personalization, storytelling, and community involvement. Every piece of gear, every legendary, and every unique item acquired contributes to your character's strength and, equally importantly, to their appearance.

These themed cosmetic items are more than mere digital trinkets; they are badges of honor that narrate a story—your story—of engaging with the new content, supporting the community, and celebrating the ongoing evolution of Diablo IV. They allow you to visually embody the thematic depth of Season 9 as you battle through hordes of demons.

Twitch has become an essential part of the modern gaming experience, serving as a vibrant hub where players connect, learn, and share their passion. For Diablo IV, it’s a place where seasoned veterans share their knowledge, new players receive guidance, and the entire community unites in the common pursuit of loot and glory. By offering rewards for watching streams, Blizzard encourages players to engage with content creators, fostering a stronger, more interactive community around Season 9.

Watching a skilled Necromancer defeat a challenging boss or a clever Rogue navigate the complex new seasonal mechanics not only provides entertainment and valuable insights but also passively contributes to your collection of exclusive items. This creates a mutually beneficial scenario: streamers gain viewership and support, while players earn coveted cosmetics that enhance their in-game experience, all while being immersed in the "Sins of the Horadrim."

While the core loop of Diablo IV revolves around the relentless pursuit of more powerful and better-rolled items to perfect your character build, Twitch Drops introduce an enjoyable layer of passive progression. They offer a refreshing contrast to the intense focus on stat optimization and build theorycrafting. Instead of actively farming for a specific legendary, you passively earn unique cosmetic additions simply by enjoying the rich content created by the Diablo IV community.

These Season 9 themed items serve to deepen your immersion. Picture your character, having fought through the depths of the new seasonal dungeons, adorned with a mount trophy that bears the sinister mark of the corrupted Horadrim. This not only looks impressive but also reinforces your connection to the lore and your accomplishments within the season. It’s a form of personal expression that adds significant value to your overall gameplay experience, allowing your hero to stand out in a visually striking manner.If you want to know more about Diablo 4, you can follow U4gm.

Other Games / U4gm-Diablo 4 Season 9 introduces Astaroth to the endgame
« Last post by Alam560 on August 01, 2025, 08:00:06 am »
The latest Season 9 of Diablo 4 has finally brought a highly anticipated major boss encounter: Astaroth, the Lord of Wrath. After months of waiting, players can now confront this formidable demon in the endgame, adding a new layer of challenge and excitement to the late-stage Diablo 4 experience.

Astaroth's arrival marks a significant milestone for the game's evolving narrative and gameplay. Renowned in Diablo lore as a powerful and wrathful demon, Astaroth's presence in the endgame provides a dramatic new focus for players progressing through the campaign and seasonal content.Players can expect to find rare Diablo 4 items as they venture deeper into this challenge, enhancing their gear and providing new opportunities for strategic customization.

Visually, Astaroth is an impressive addition—fiery, imposing, and exuding demonic energy. The battle arena is crafted to reflect his wrathful nature, featuring environmental hazards and dynamic mechanics that keep players alert. This encounter encourages players to optimize their builds and gear, elevating character customization and strategic depth.

In addition to the fight, Season 9 expands upon Diablo 4's established progression systems by introducing new seasonal rewards associated with defeating Astaroth and completing related challenges. These rewards include unique cosmetics, weapons, and legendary Diablo 4 items that enhance player builds and highlight their triumph over the demon lord.

However, while Astaroth's inclusion is a notable highlight, some community members have observed that the remainder of the season's content feels more like a re-skin of existing mechanics rather than a groundbreaking update. Seasonal themes, side quests, and activities predominantly revolve around familiar systems such as zone events, dungeon runs, and the Paragon board. Although these systems receive minor adjustments and new visuals, the core gameplay loop remains largely unchanged.

This approach may resonate with players who appreciate the established Diablo 4 formula, providing a consistent and polished experience without steep learning curves. Nevertheless, for those seeking more innovative features or significant system overhauls, Season 9 might feel somewhat lacking beyond the new boss.

Astaroth's addition as a challenging endgame boss is a significant and thrilling enhancement, breathing new life into the late-game grind. Meanwhile, the rest of the season relies on familiar mechanics with refreshed aesthetics and minor content expansions. For veteran players, this results in a familiar yet enhanced journey, centered around the fiery wrath of Astaroth and the rewarding Diablo 4 items that accompany it.If you want to know more about Diablo 4, you can follow U4gm.

Suggestions / Stronger Faceless Infusions on DOM
« Last post by Albert Altmann on August 01, 2025, 07:35:20 am »
The Infusions are sort of inconsequential, especially the mighty +20 TC one. Would be cool if they had a kind of DOM version, like if Infusion: Speed also gave AP in addition to MP like Expert Sprint, or if Infusion: Strength increased max hp, etc.

You are 100% rite, hence why in my message, I am a little bit sad because a Rifle is more appealing than using this legendary weapon, for where this weapon is located, it's a bit disappointing that there's this many draw backs to it, kinda makes one feel like, why bother going through the effort of using this when you can craft.

I am a Craft-aholic and crafting is always the way to go, I guess maybe because it can "pass through" targets they did  it to balance it out, but I suppose this is a hard pill I have to swallow of "we want you to craft, not use stock weapons, otherwise that allows you to skip allot of the skill points needed into crafting deadly weapons".

I do appreciate you guys informing me though, again, I feel very silly about all this for not reading it, but again (I used the OG Black arrow and it did not have this). Regardless, love you guys. (I only play this game on the hardest difficulty, in todays time, I only play dominating).

I promise to read things going forward <3

Even if it did refund the full ap on shooting spree, a crafted sniper would still heavily outclass it because of rapid reloader and 50% extra base damage from smart module.

I must apologize, As crazy as it sounds I never thought to read the gun, Mind you, I played this game on launch, and for a long time, Black arrow never caused any Daze penalty, and there was no shooting spree nerf on it. please show me mercy and see where I am coming from lol. The OG blackarrow never did this.

With that being said, do you guys feel this is balanced? Especially with the competition of the other sniper rifles I could craft with out any of these penalty's and could essentially crank out more damage. (why not craft said sniper rifle then?)

Because the Black arrow is cool man, leave me alone.
