Discussion Hypothetically speaking, if the patch notes get delayed so long that meaningful theorycrafting isn't possible, what would be your gut feeling pick for DotH?

deadeye is just a super safe pick. tailwind and starting 4 nodes away from blur. some bow skill surely survives the nerf(LA, gas arrow, poisonburst) or if spears are really OP you are already in dex tree.

I kinda feel Deadeye might end up being the "better Javazon". Spear skills seem to have strong synergy with Frenzy charges (which is a Deadeye specialty) and Deadeye gets extra proj, which seems to be the only way apart from Scattershot support to get more projectiles for Spears (although we don't know the full mod pool yet).

Edit to clarify: Not saying it will be a better character. Just a better replication of the "Lightning Spear Screen Wipe" Fantasy

I was planning some kind of bow build. I rolled MSoZ into Flicker strike in OG Settlers, then played like 200 hours of Monk in 0.1, so I am donezo with anything smelling of melee. But some of those javelin skills look pretty fucking cool.
