Just do phys, phys is good. Fire is shit.
https://median-xl.com/char/LD-NEC It is my xbow this ladder. Last ladder, phys xbow still needs blood relic to be op, but this ladder after rework, it is even just op without blood relic, lol.
The rework of xbow in 2.6 kinda reminds me of the rework of hammerzon vs stormzon, it is all the same case happened again: 2 paths in the same tree reworked in same ladder, 1 is op while the other 1 is shit.
And besides, I see not much necessity in reworking xbow this ladder. Xbow nec op in 2.5 is due to the blood relic, just nerfing the relic is enough like it does now in 2.6. I see no need to rework xbow itself this ladder since we have so many builds there much more waiting to get reworked than xbow if devs' time & energy limited, like pal builds (Even melee nec esp dagger nec deserves rework more than xbow nec). And once again, after the rework, it becomes even more unbalanced between the phys path and new fire path....
Im not against the rework for xbow this ladder, I appreciate the effort, at least better than nothing, though I think there are more weak and unpopular builds that more need rework than xbow.
Ofc we can foresee that phys xbow will get nerfed in 2.7, fire buffed. And if phys xbow still good in 2.7, keep nerfing in 2.8, like scorpion blade sin....
