Runearms: A ranking post

In my opinion the dino rune arm is the best in the game and 2nd place isn't even close. 20% Alacrity, 3% profane doubleshot, earth attunement and 2d6 sneak attack on top of the other benefits.

I haven't seen anything that can match that.
Yeah, but this list is from the perspective of a melee player.

Greater Cannith Power Cell continues to never drop from LoB, which severely limits the utility of Toven's Hammer.

CAN A DEV PLEASE FIX THIS? IT'S BEEN LIKE 5 YEARS.

Dev's really messed up Runearm projectiles during their last revamp. After which its now very questionable if shot types can reliably hit anything.

There are certain shot types that I pretty much will never take because they cannot land on target reliably, or cannot be used inside due to the wide spread patterns (they will hit other things before they hit the target). If the patterns were tighter, that might alleviate some of this. There are still some shots that I really haven't had time to play with much though. 😕

Light spirals and bee-shot both look to be pretty good, but I don't have anything on those two types that are at the right levels for me to really use (I only tested bee-shot on Lammania with Nature's Wrath and it performed REALLY well).

Disiplinator's electrical lash works great as a shot type.

Coin shot on Breaking the Bank is great as well, but this a single target type shot (it hits reliably, and and does really good damage).

Glass cannon or Trash though?
For me, Glass. I don't have the patience for Trash (projectiles are soooo... slow...) Trash is probably better though. 😁

For me it's glass as well because of the breakables :p Trash used to be awesome even though the projectiles were slow that but was ... trashed.

Electrical leash on disciplinator (and flicker!) used to be great. After they neutered electrical storm this also got affected. I'm guessing they shared some subroutine or another? The ball used to keep going hitting enemies numerous times if they where moving. Now it explodes instead (usually hitting the floor and fizzling)

we have done this dance before. End game raid dps is always Demon engine due to dripping with magma. I wish it wasn't. I hate the look of the thing but in any long fight it's still Demon Engine and it's not close.
