Increase Pojectile Speed for LvL 28 Arena

The projectile speed needs to be increased probably 30% for LLD. I feel like I can easily our maneuver archers and wanders( wanders rarely even exist in LLD) by simple serpentine. I think if we slightly increase proj speed it will make ranged chars more viable for LLD. Quill Rain is nice but if u want a tri elemental damage bow even with the max proj speed roll, the ranged attacks will still be easy evaded.

I do not play ranged characters often in LLD. I am a close ranged facebreaker and really find ranged chars too easy to deal with. Not only do they have a impossible time kiting in such small arenas, but they are always being cursed and can barely land hits with enemies using quicksilver's and 1 hitting them since they use a 2 hander with no block rate and usually the weakest dps for LLD.

btw LLD= Low Level Dueling.

its lv28 pvp, i highly doubt GGG is going to balance this before balancing merciless pvp first. Also, archers just suck at pvp in general.

its not a hard fix. It would be on the buff effect for lvl 28 arena. Archers shouldnt be so bad. And a ton of players do LLD so its not like open merciless pvp is more important.

I guarantee you that more people will do merciless pvp than LLD once it is balanced. (hopefully)

Maybe but your input is still not of any value here. Trying to tell people that LLD isnt important isnt constructive to this thread trying to balance LLD. If you dont LLD and dont plan on participating, I would suggest not posting about it or atleast dont stray from the point of focus which people like myself are trying to bring suggestions to the table.

also this thread is huge http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/220419
which supports the fact that many people do play in the lvl 28 arena. It should not be ignored.

The Karui Ward, Jade amulet adds 30% increased projectile speed. That combined with faster projectiles works quite well for spells like fireball and spark I've noticed.

^ this

its true but thats not a viable amulet for most proj builds. Projs are just to weak. I dont say this because I use them. I just want a challenge and I have thought about it and thats like the best way to really balance it without giving any unfair advantage.

Most ranged in this game get ganked in pvp.
Since multi strike came it, its even worsened
They need to make up for the multi strike gem by putting in some kind of
Projectile seeking support gem. (Like guided arrow in Diablo2)
That alone would help ranged out a lot...we need that too. All the ele builds are getting old
I would do some kinda of movement speed ice spear shadow or something.
I'm sure they will impliment a tracking projectile support. GGG is good at balanving things out
