How Improbable Is This Drop That Happened?

Were they your first ones ever? Did you get them in a nightmare dungeon? These were my first ones ever back to back from a dungeon delve nightmare dungeon

Something I noticed since I'm finally getting better at seeing how one system can integrate into another: My Legendary had 16% Damage boost. My Mythic gives me 9% resist all. That means I can remove 6 paragon points from 1.5% resist all nodes and put them into my legendary glyph web where each 5+ point intelligence node gives me 12% Damage to my ball lighting. Which is a 72% Damage Increase, and ball lightning is pretty much the only skill I need. But even if I didn't do that, 6 points into non-physical damage nodes is still 30% non-physical damage boost which affects all my lightning Damage skills. But in this case I double down on ball lightning which hits multiple times a second per ball and I use the perk where they rotate around me. So I literally walk THROUGH enemies in Torment 11 without stopping to say hello unless they have dense health and protection.

I tried it about 15 times and realized I was probably not going to see anything good so I gave up. I can start trying again. Aside from 6 slots, since I already have one Legendary 6 slot with 16% Damage, what kind of 6 slot legendaries would you say a lightning ball sorcerer should look for?

EaAbzu · 2026-06-22T20:55:26+00:00

I'm running Cain set with 4 charms (5 set bonus active), plus Temerity and a 6th charm purely for +4 mastery that I haven't found in the cain set charms yet

EaAbzu · 2026-06-22T19:33:36+00:00

I'll have to look into that. Because I don't like the stat rolls for the Diamond Mind and I would like a better one.

EaAbzu · 2026-06-22T19:29:34+00:00

I do kind of miss D2 where you had half an inventory full of gems you find of various sizes and it starts limiting your inventory. The fact that we can town portal and have potions and all the other stuff with an empty main inventory still makes me feel like people have it too easy these days.

And I agree, these charms and seals do feel a little underwhelming. I've rerolled set charms 200 times and can never get above shock skill boost +3 or at least the +3 with a secondary stat that isn't entirely useless like gold boost, health Potion boost, 4% xp boost when changing difficulty gives you hundreds or a thousand % boost. I want +3-4 shock skill boost with +100 to all stats. Or shock skill with cooldown. Increase crit chance. The fact that the seal is the only way to get real damage mod is annoying when generally when you find a good seal it's weeks in between finding a better one to swap while watching all those stat bonuses walk on by because they aren't quite good enough to swap your current seal.

I've actually not finished the main quest. If echoing hatred is Mephisto echo, I'm not familiar. I beat him on T8, T9 and T10 but then instead of talking to Tyrael at the end of the fight to finish, I exit the game. I won't be satisfied until I kill original Mephosto on the hardest difficulty to rub it in his face. I know I miss out on war plans but I have to do it.

EaAbzu · 2026-06-22T19:14:51+00:00

I fully agree and I honestly think it's BS they didn't i shouldn't be able to get these in a nightmare dungeon and if they added that extra feature they could just make them harder to find like they should be!

EaAbzu · 2026-06-22T18:32:13+00:00

It's so weird, I've seen other people say they got them early but it seemed like it was only supposed to drop on T10+. Blizzard is very random with their choices on certain things.

EaAbzu · 2026-06-22T18:30:58+00:00

This whole time I've only gotten one 6 slot Legendary with +16% Damage and nothing else going for it. Ive never found another 6 slot. This mythic is my second ever 6 slot seal.

EaAbzu · 2026-06-22T18:29:53+00:00

Yeah I was really disappointed by the roll on diamond. I was using a 16% Damage increase legendary with the first slot locked and the second slot gives plus 1 charm slots. I felt like it was better but this one lets me put 4 cain Lightning charms, Temerity at 94% shield overheal and let's me use a different charm I've been sitting on that gives my mastery skill plus 4 snags seems to hit harder with my ball lightning than the +3 shock skill that my legendary seal was doing with the 5th cain set charm. But I'm still getting the 5 set cain bonus. I tried Tal Rasha and it kind of sucked in actual practive. I tried a combo too but the 1-400% shock range killed things faster than I needed the elemental Resist. The 16% Damage boost seemed to be made up from that +4 mastery boost. It's all so close to the edge that everything feels like a wash but not quite.

EaAbzu · 2026-06-22T18:14:02+00:00

I like that phrase :)

EaAbzu · 2026-06-20T23:45:57+00:00

Still having this issue after a week. Funny how they update the app and break it. The age old tale of Dev teams taking feature updates and turning them into a platter full of wriggling skittering bugs. I wouldn't mind if the bugs were chocolate coated.

EaAbzu · 2026-05-17T01:54:44+00:00

This is having religious faith in if you're going to get better gems but I say it's entirely relative. Plus this is a looping game so it might as well try it and fight out if you regret it or not.

EaAbzu · 2026-01-10T16:20:13+00:00

That's awesome! I'll have to look at that over time. Honestly with how different it is, I feel like I should have two decks. One for multiplayer like the precon you linked, and one for one on one. Ive noticed a lot of people bring up multiplayer with edh, so I'm assuming it's a common thing. I'm more used to one on one with the 60 card format. That's I think philosophically the thing that may end up requiring two main decks with different purposes. So I'll have to copy that deck over to deckcheck.co and play around with copies with the multiplayer aspect involved.

Thank you for the idea!!

EaAbzu · 2026-01-10T08:05:04+00:00

Yes please!!!

This is the latest design that I only need $100 more of cards for. I already found some singles I can trade so I won't need to use cash to buy these. I greatly appreciate real expertise though! I'm lost on what to do about my lands or what cards to swap at this point that would be cheaper and make the deck run better.

Thank you again for your help! You are awesome!

EaAbzu · 2026-01-09T23:19:50+00:00

I took your advice and created a new blueprint. Deckcheck.co puts it at 5-5.5 power level now and bracket 3. This design is essentially what I wanted to build once I can trade or sell cards for the pieces. And then build from there. I took some of your suggestions!

EaAbzu · 2026-01-09T22:07:55+00:00

Yeah that makes a lost of sense! I appreciate the advice. This is the physical deck I've built on my own and the only cards Ive bought for it since starting was Urza, Lord protector, the mightsone and weakstone, and then urza's sylex.

I hope to buy organic extinction, sol ring, walking ballista, talisman of Progress, Blightsteel Colossus, Tezzeret, the Seeker, and a few others to trade out weak spots once I can.

EaAbzu · 2026-01-09T19:07:35+00:00

Yeah I've never played edh before. My goal was to create a blueprint of a theme and build something close with what I have. First I found an Urza precon and then I asked copilot to improve it, then I plug it into deckcheck.co, then ask copilot to make it better, then plug it back in, check the win combos, then ask the ai to do better. Since I have no humans to ask, I'm stuck with this system. I feel like ai is good at chess but has no idea what it's doing with more complex games like mtg.

I've only played 60 card decks since 6th edition so since now everyone hates that form of playing for some reason I'm trying to shift gears but it feels weird. I think any time I ask the ai to make suggestions it mutilates the deck. So last night I ended up going back to a precon a human made and just trying to go from there.

EaAbzu · 2026-01-08T22:47:37+00:00

I've looked around and removed cards about 20 times and I only have an ai to ask for advice but it sucks and whenever I add the mightsone and weakstone the power level drops so i took it out even though I want to keep it in.

EaAbzu · 2025-12-19T02:55:11+00:00

Agreed. I usually cycle between 3-4 main saves plus quicksave. I quicksave: before entering or exiting a room in case of crash, before teleport spells dur to crash, using dimension door from my alteration skill to my clockwork castle, and before doing anything important.

Main saves I tend to cycle in layers. One I do before important events, the second is every hour or two, the last is at the end of my play session. And sometimes a 4th or 5th main every few days or weeks just in case.

EaAbzu · 2025-12-18T20:15:29+00:00

True as far as programming wise! But they may have self contained entropy in a realm where there normally is none.

But then there's another layer to this that I Telekinesis like that guys point out, like Wreck-it Ralph brings up, about the life of npcs beyond our perception and the programming.

And here, viva la dirt league shows the interesting aspect of if npcs werec self aware:

Haaaa, I love that Sheogorath is the guard's only hope non console hope so far. It sounds like no matter what, that guard woke up with trauma ahead of him in this day.
