current state of the game:

bows: they are hand guns with a faster auto attack rate however same damage, no ability to use shields or catalysts. which means 3 less gem sockets.

stave's: my catalyst offhand does more... they are alright but they need higher spellpower and higher flat elementals spell damage addition. using a catalyst and any other weapon with 3 (offense [2]) sockets is better

dualwield melee/guns: useless,pointless, halves my damage. could be cool with unique skills that require dual wielding. need better passives for all mentioned above builds. the spell cast skill builds scale well and should stay, raise the floor on everything else before lowering the ceiling
