This item should get "Marksmanship". There's no epic item atm for ranged and it will actually make this item useful for someone other then casters. Wind Howler Bracers, Bracers of Wind... even sounds the same :). Would make it more sought after too

They are usefull for people other than casters. My AC paladin loves them. It freed up a slot from the chattering rings +3 dodge...not only that but the haste guard also allows him another +1 to ac when it goes off.Quote:

The items from the challenges are already quite powerful for their difficulty in acquiring. Blurry, Air Guard, and Dodge +3 are hardly to be sneezed at.
I am sorry you don't want to choose between Wind Howlers and Bracers of Wind, but too bad. I don't like choosing between Bracers of Tharaak and Bracers of Wind, so obviously the devs should add toughness to this item to make it more useful to more people (ie me).
I don't think it's too much of a compromise to add Marksmanship to the T3 version of the Epic Bracers of Wind. That way, if you want it you make the sacrifice of binding the item to that character.
All of those are of no use to me, AC is broken, it's not that hard to get blur on an item or ask a caster, Air Guard - again, maybe for tanks, I'd be against getting hit to get haste. On the other hand Wind Howlers is a low lvl item that needs an upgraded version, ranged deserve a lil love. Atleast Toughness you can find on a blue slot/minos, the bracers you mentioned. Marksmanship can only be found on one item in the whole game.Quote:

Windhowlers are also carrying a further damage bonus that wouldn't be replicated here.
Seems reasonable.
maybe i missed something... why is this in the Lammania discussions section?
Because people with suggestions and complaints unrelated to Lammania like to post here in hopes that the devs will actually see it.Quote:

This is not true of any other other class or any other genre
They wouldn't need to alter as many items if they just made more options for Yellow and Blue slots.
Why don't we just ask them to make useful items for ranged characters instead of stacking more effects on already bloated items?
I don't quite get this request, as I said before. If you don't need magnetism/lightning lore, don't need dodge bonuses, and don't care about Air guard....why do you want this item anyway? Just wear your WindHowlers or some other item that gives a small damage boost.
While there do need to be some epic wearables for ranged characters, further boosting an already powerful item is probably not the way to go on that.
Well, they could add a whole new item to challenges/the game, or they could add an ability that isn't complementary with the other existing abilities onto an already existing item.
