If you’re going to reprint +2 Assassin's Crossbow please don’t nerf it.

If you nerf the +2 Assassin's Crossbow, you are really actually nerfing Raphiel’s Sneaky Necklace.

If you’re going to nerf it at least give us a legendary non nerfed version.

I will be so pissed off if the crossbow gets nerfed after how much I gave for mine last year.

Agree, I can't see any reason for why the crossbow would need to be nerfed. In lower rarity builds it doesn't do much at all, and in higher rarity builds it deals a lot of damage on your first two attacks of a room if you slide a 17+. There are other classes which can deal a lot of damage more every turn without relying on two specific turns and sliding a 17+ (which on another note is a lot less likely in VTD than in person).

How about no reprints and just all new Tokens.

I would love to see +2 assassin's crossbow reprint personally, though I think the libram of looting might be the better reprint for the rogue community overall.

As a player that just really started this year, I would like to see some of the UR’s required to turn Relics into Legendaries turn back up. Specifically the Lenses of Divine Sight for my Druid relic. Would also like to see a way to get a Greater ring of Focus and Relsa’s Ring through transmute as well.

Well said, I couldn't agree more with this.

If combat only goes 2 rounds, then 100% of rogue attacks are sneak attacks. If it goes 3 rounds (likely the most common number), then with the legendary 66% of the attacks are sneak attacks. If crits are consistent, and combats go only 2 rounds, the crossbow puts the Rogue in the top 3 for damage. Should Rogue be a top 3 damage dealer, given it's identity isn't tied to combat as much as it is for many other classes?

Would like to see Libram of Looting and Ektar’s Tinkering Tool reprinted, and possibly combined into one token. They haven’t been printed since 2017 and 2014, respectively. Id also like to see Rod of Persuasion reprinted, but with Bead of Dark Whispers out it may not be as desired.

Also, Dirtdazzy’s Boots

If a group is consistently finding that combat only lasts 2 rounds, they are already dealing more than enough damage for the difficulty they are playing on so I wouldn't think Assassin's Crossbow is going to make much difference to the success of their run at that point. Regarding Rogue's identity, I'm already aware that we disagree on that so there's probably not much reason to retread old ground here - I view Rogue as very much a combat class since their class ability and almost every Rogue token ever printed are only usable while attacking in combat, and am aware that others on the forums have similar views.

3 rounds seems like a reasonable benchmark, but when you say Rogue are in the top 3, which classes are you placing below them out of Monk, Ranger and Barbarian? This also assumes that Rogues will always slide a crit, which is very much not the case in VTD and sometimes not the case in physical runs due to missing, being bumped off a number, etc - the other classes simply need to slide a hit, which is much more consistent.

I'd agree with this - in the same way Nightshade's +2 Throwing Dagger has cycled out of print before a potential reprint of Assassin's Crossbow, it'd be good to let the Bead of Dark Whispers cycle out before reprinting the Rod of Persuasion.
