Quill Rain is in a terrible state

The idea of Quill Rain is awesome. The reality of Quill Rain is terrible.

The downsides are just way too big to use it for anything except as a utility bow.

Is that what they are going for?

I hope not... because the idea of Quill Rain is so build defining as a main skill.

But currently with the 40% less Attack Damage it just destroys anything you can do with it unless you just want to use it to apply wither or something.

So you can shoot fast (GREAT)

But it comes with 40% less damage (BAD)

The hidden downside which is actually a HUGE downside is that you destroy your mana so quickly too that you have to INVEST heavily into mana regen or leech or some kind of mana gain to use it effectively without getting cancer on your mana flask finger.

There are also NO OTHER stats you get from this bow.

IMO the less damage should be straight up removed. There is already so much investment needed elsewhere to offset the downsides of no other stats and mana drain.

99% of uniques are bad. They should remove/consolidate alot of them so they are exciting to loot again

I tried to make a poison build with it in 0.1.

Why are dots based on hit damage? Every build is just hit damage with flavor sprinkles on top.

Quill Rain need -0.3s additional attack time and it will be awesome !

Then I can use it to spam Spiral Volley.

I'm fine with even with 90% LESS damage.

Pew pew pew
