The Item and Class Stat Balance Thread

[Narvad]

This "hero locking" commotion actually reminded me about shared inventory. *Illuminati*

Would be nice if in the end there was legendary-quality one-hander for sniper/warden, except Halogi's Torch.

Archers get EK as their red item for all 'Archer heroes', but xbows dont get any red items ;( (for all xbow heroes) ;p

Crossbowman has red helmets, red gauntlets.

I feel like if fang was made to be xbow only(which most people who have fang are) then it would have slightly better stats just like how EK was buffed when it was turned into red. Which means the price would go up I think, dont think people would mind it

Then it will cross the Aventurier swords sphere of usability.

EK has mostly "decoration" value(as any other melee weapon, but also with low weight) for warden/ranger classes(4-6 hits to kill the royal assassin ...). Sentry has better option and sentinel more proficient with one-handed weapons.
On the other hand is Fang of Fenrir, which can be more efficiently used on any crossbowman hero.
