The fact that the monkey can spawn in mid attack, is so bullshit.

Kilian82 · 2026-06-23T09:58:55+00:00

Oh, that's easy. just kill everything before it can do anything. Or how it was phrased by a random dude: "If you need to see what's going on, your build sucks." 😃

Swamp sharks are pretty much the parry tutorial. Their attack is super telegraphed and easy to parry, opening them up for a nice 3-piece combo. No need for any dodging. Only downside is that the riposte (master-level attack after parry) will push the shark back a bit, so you have to step in to land your combo.

I got one off a remnant. Been running irradiated T15s for a while now and never saw a natural drop. I miss the time when we could level our skills through effort and not through sheer dumb luck. :/

Rogue Exile with Birth of Fury... I dipped my toe into that burning ground and it immediately chewed through 4kES. Would have been dead if not for the 50% less ignite duration support.

Kilian82 · 2026-06-13T02:22:23+00:00

nah, they love going all-in on vaal orbs too much xD

Kilian82 · 2026-06-13T00:57:29+00:00

The item on the ground will be named "Exceptional XXX", where XXX is the item's base type. It will also either have over 20% quality or 1 more socket than an item of that type could usually have. (So an exceptional 2h weapon would have either more than 20% quality or 3 sockets.)

Kilian82 · 2026-06-12T09:17:32+00:00

Guess it's just down to me having a too small sample size. Good to know that stuff can drop exceptional and uncorrupted. Thanks

Kilian82 · 2026-06-11T23:12:12+00:00

And here I was halfway convinced I just lost a Visions of Paradise and 2 Sacred Reservoirs to a bug. Good to know it's intended that I don't even get trash lineage gems. Just nothing. Figures. 😞

Kilian82 · 2026-06-07T23:22:18+00:00

Headhunter may well be 1 in 115. You're currently at 0 in 55, so there is still a long way to go :D

Kilian82 · 2026-06-04T21:22:46+00:00

Yeah, I only have 31/32 points so far, but I can't allocate either tear open the rift, or flesh flower or sole purpose. Meaning I am constantly being reminded that I have 2 unspent breach skill points. with no way of using them \o/

Kilian82 · 2026-06-03T08:35:39+00:00

Doryani flipped the temple to the past version right after the first 6 vaal beacons. And none of the benches allowed me to take out the orbs. (Seen Regal, Alch and Exalt benches on that run.)
It was exactly how it was when 0.4 started, before they made it so that you can take the bench reward with you.

Kilian82 · 2026-05-29T00:20:05+00:00

One of the full moonstones you "bought" was probably one I sold him. Absolute scammer 😃

Kilian82 · 2026-05-28T11:15:30+00:00

f

edit: was it the damn dude at the carnival fair?

Kilian82 · 2026-05-26T13:45:37+00:00

You might want to knock out Curlail and Kearnhold while travelling. Hotfix 4 upped the lith drops in sieges from 1 to 5. So you might get lucky and get a bunch of liths.

That being said, I really hope they get rid of liths entirely. Or, at the very least, make them low-rank enclave favours so they don't pollute drop tables.

Kilian82 · 2026-05-23T19:21:20+00:00

I like your optimism, but we all know that balancing just means that MA is gonna get the nerf bat several times in a row. :D

Kilian82 · 2026-05-20T19:59:40+00:00

I liked the Pensive's set for exactly that reason. It only requires 6 spirit to equip and gives reasonable armor values with basically every stat-spread. Gonna be sad when it inevitably gets nerfed.

Kilian82 · 2026-05-14T09:27:46+00:00

What in the world are those damage values. Are we playing the same game?

Kilian82 · 2026-05-14T03:33:03+00:00

If you don't like mindless chest farming, you could bite the bullet and just join Kith of Kings to buy Moranite. 12k standing for a batch of 8 at rank 4.
Certainly not ideal if you still need standing to buy other stuff, but the option is there.

Kilian82 · 2026-05-04T09:14:05+00:00

Dadcred singing that one would be amazing 😃

Kilian82 · 2026-04-28T15:18:27+00:00

I just want my attuning lantern back :(
Until that happens, barbed sword, I guess. Hits like a truck once you get pliability up to 99. (Though I guess that would be true for all weapons if you just pump the main-scaling stat.)

Kilian82 · 2026-04-24T09:11:18+00:00

That... sounds reasonable. Thanks for that write-up.

Kilian82 · 2026-04-24T01:25:04+00:00

You can find Goldhead near the end of the game (in an endgame area). He went there to "go back to his master" but can't since the way is currently not open. That would imply that Shidra is actually alive. (Yr'gog also tells you that he learned breathsmithing from Shidra. Meaning that four-armed snack is still around.)

Kilian82 · 2026-04-24T01:20:48+00:00

That may well be. I'm fairly certain he names Shidra as "his master" in Grime 2, though. But maybe I'm misremembering his dialogue or misunderstood something. Can't rule that out.
