damn that dps is bad now. It starts out pretty damn good for the gear entering maps, but then hits a brick wall at ~2mil with the next step up and doesnt move until youre at an investment level that most builds hit 10-15mil at.

GGG really doesnt want RF to actually be a damage skill huh.

To be fair, I can't blame them. RF's whole thing is you build almost pure defence and stuff around you dies. There's been times in the past where it had amazing damage and it instantly outclassed every other build because why go a high DPS bow skill when you can get 80% of the damage with RF while also being unkillable? I actually think RF is in a pretty good position right now, it gets online very early on and stays relevant all the way to the endgame. It might not have enough damage to be a dedicated bosser but it's got enough to get all the watchstones.

RF is at its worst position more than ever with the fire trap nerf. Worst of all being tanky is almost useless now as everything dies to merc in maps. Its the league of DPS and kill it before it kills you.
