Description
I get a sense by the Pattern of the game design that you could make a comparison between Physical Bowazon and Sorceress Ice element where you could say that the Pierce of Cold Mastery + the effect of cold just blew the physical damage bowazon out of the water. I think you can get a sense of a viable comparison between the two because as Magic Arrow would say achieve a Conversion of 20% physical to magical damage when maxed out, it is really just like saying "Phyiscal Damage Pierced by 20%".
If the cold skills of the bowazon had a cold damage Pierce like the sorceress, it would be a different story in terms of what the problem would be. We'd recognize that the Amazon would somehow need to drop down to 2 life per vitality point for that to be proportionally fair and proper.
I'm going to propose that the new synergy buffs to physical bowazon are not too strong for the Amazon as an individual but are too much for team play, especially with a Necromancer ally, but also that the Physical Bowazon needs more commitment in the overall build if she stays at 3 life per vitality point all the time.
Solution: Remove current physical bow synergies. The physical bow skills now receive a synergy from Magic Arrow that reduces enemy physical resistance for these skills that achieves a maximum damage that is equal to the physical bow synergies that are currently in the game.
The physical bowazon build just ends up requiring an additional skill investment, but that's ok because after Valkyrie, where were the points going to go in a physical bow build? EZ PZ Decoy?
The physical damage Pierce will also hit the limit with Necro Amp preventing a disproportion of power.
There's a reason why Amazon cold bow skills don't Pierce cold resist, just as there is a reason why the physical bow build should be a progressive 5 skill investment for the long term to be different from bow elements.
Just like all the Metal Bands are still trying to catch up to Meshuggah,
We're still all trying to catch up to Blizzard North.
