Mmmmm

#

Yep

#

They're like the only thing that make deye and draoi good lol

proper egret
#

i mean deye and draoi are really good

safe geode
#

because of spell cost

proper egret
#

but playstyles like intless spell shouldn't be so roll dependent

proper egret
safe geode
#

Why would you use deye if not -3rd

#

Lol

safe geode

-spell cost is kinda wack

#

iirc there's actually a bug with powder application that doesn't let you apply more than 18 powders on a single item, or it just resets the powders on it

#

it's why this happened

hoary chasm
#

Yes that is correct I remember powdering a matrojshaka to 20 and it just going back to cocoon PensivEgg

hoary chasm

we can only yell at devs to fix bugs and if it isn't happening, something like this is a better choice

why doesnt the item team just fix all the items wtf!?

proper egret
#

TRUE

vagrant wave
#

Man lunar spine really needs a buff

#

I understand its niche but there are still minor things that can be done to improve it (make it less roll dependent)

#

by basically toning down all the damages by putting some into base

#

as well as maybe making ms always >20

ripe olive
#

its kinda already not roll dependent already

#

also its a extreme burst spell

vagrant wave
#

Lol

ripe olive
#

ive not only seen it but also used it

vagrant wave
#

20-86 spell range

#

10-43 both ele ranges

#

7-29 ms (low ms is a BIG problem)

ripe olive
#

its kinda hard to get a shit roll like that one in pic

#

also main atk and sd doesnt matter that much

vagrant wave
#

and then comes sustain

ripe olive
#

totem healing

vagrant wave
#

this is lunar spine

ripe olive
#

yea thats just burst spell

#

what about it

vagrant wave
#

it kinda just isnt good

#

and i know it wont be but it could be helped a little

proper egret
#

lunar spine smells

#

burst spell is a generally flawed playstyle

#

because of the limitations of the game and how important hunger is

#

for movement

rocky parcel
#

lunar spine's never going to be meta

#

or even all that good

#

the mana steal roll is a pretty valid point though

vagrant wave
#

Yea

#

I also think a little higher base damage and lower eles would help

proper egret
#

it seems like a fun gimmick

raven cedar
#

it's been mentioned before but it'd be really interesting if lunar spine got entropy

proper egret
#

that'd be funny

#

or a variation of it

proper egret
vagrant wave
#

i think this is an old lunar sprine

#

spien

proper egret
#

ahh

hoary chasm
#

Lunar spine is cool but while im here, non mythic endgame spear pool

proper egret
#

YES THIS

#

PLEASE

#

all other classes have other great nonmythic options

#

for archer you have olily, antballs, cluster, and the evolved

drifting pike
#

what the hell is antballs

proper egret
#

for assassin you have black, limbo/anvil crawler, bygones, fshot hilt, even rewind

proper egret
drifting pike
#

who calls it that

#

other than you

proper egret
#

i've heard it tossed around

drifting pike
#

into quotes you go

proper egret
#

understandable

#

anyways

#

for mage you have the nothing, cascade, prest, and nepta/morro (not stellar but very easy to abuse powders on)

#

and idrk shaman that well but ik like pz, lumina, spleen splitter, procras(?)

#

but warrior has what

#

like

#

ignition?

#

infidel?

#

really not a lot

#

especially for spell

hoary chasm
#

ignition is meh/subpar

#

infidel ppfart

#

gUys mOrPh inFiDeL

#

procras is balls now for shaman cryo is best spell option

eh zephra is ok ig

mini hero

"mini"

#

proper egret
#

yeah emphasis on that

rocky parcel
#

all crafted weapons are really strong

#

and although there's a bit of a lack in power in endgame spears
mythic spears in general are also a bit out of proportion as well

#

as in powerful

hoary chasm
#

nah im more with bart yeah they seem overtoned

rocky parcel
#

relative to their respective baselines, at least
spears may not have their equivalent to orange lily/cascade, but in terms of simple damage nonmythic endgame spears really are not bad by any means, moreso lacking options element-wise rather than id wise

#

iirc every mythic spear except for guardian is (effectively) above the baseline for mythic damage at their level

#

so i'm more inclined to say that mythic spears are a little too powerful and warrior in general should get a bit of a boost rather than that the nonmythic endgame spears all suck (don't get me wrong, in terms of spell compatibility spears are the weakest of all the class, but making more of those isn't going to magically make warrior better unless we literally take over something like orange lily) (which we won't lol)

#

orange lily was pretty unfortunate

#

i still think that design-wise in a vacuum, it's fine (although definitely still on the powerful side- but that's also fine)

#

it's just that the whole CCI thing practically negated its big downside

#

plus then specific items like draoi fair, the meta rewarding its elements/reqs the most at the moment, the sheer fact that it's a very high level legendary spell-focused bow

#

see the thing is

#

if you actually were to require using escape often and skillfully

#

that'd totally be a good downside to orange lily even in the current state

#

but the sad truth is that it's still a bow, and archer can just fuck around, spam some spells, kill everything, win game

@pure sinew

raven cedar
#

frontliner has funni defensive sp like

#

but reqs so high that it barely matters bc you're bound to be going hypertank at that point

#

in which case leo exists and archaic fills in the gaps

#

shush ryan I wasn't done :D

rocky parcel
#

next you're gonna complain that fenmask isn't meta

odd condor
#

why isn't fenmask meta

rocky parcel
#

frontliner is an item is heavily focused around high health and high life steal but limits you a lot in what you can do outside of tanking

#

it's honestly worth using at level despite the reqs

#

but due to being level 82, high health and high life steal is just not going to translate well to almost 20 levels higher

hollow goblet
#

it is worth using solely due to it being a chain chestplate at lategame

simple talon
#

Fenmask is unusually garbage to be fair

#

frontliner actually does have use

hoary chasm
#

Level 82 chestplate isn’t great at endgame

#

Day continues

rocky parcel
#

it's really nice and defensive while having actually really useful reqs and 1 mr

#

but like most items that are more defensively inclined at level 80-85
struggles to actually see use at endgame

hoary chasm
#

So we want buffs to the 80% of lower 80 armour that isn’t used 20 levels later to be on par with dshroud?

ripe olive
#

thats a legging

#

still a bit cracked but meh

simple talon
#

If you want the defensive stats you have other pieces like ensa's

rocky parcel
#

ensa's is extremely stupid

#

fenmask is very solid but yeah, you can just keep using meikyo shisui until third eye

proper egret

bMaSk iS 68

bete noire is like 79

proper egret
#

some lower level stuff will always seep through due to good stats or major ids, such is life ¯_(ツ)_/¯

rocky parcel
#

lower level items can sometimes be good but they are not required to be good

#

but when it comes to specific stats, yeah, lower level items can be very good
blue mask has the best sp in the game
items like spectre or impact winter have really good % damages which are valid at their level yet are high enough to be relevant at endgame

#

i wouldn't call level 85 items "low level" but yeah, they will struggle to actually see use at level 105 endgame endgame if their biggest features are dependant on raw stats, that's just what happens

wicked juniper
#

glassy items tend to scale better due to a tendency to be focused in stats that tend to scale well

#

% damages scale with the weapon, stuff like mana just doesn't change at all

#

sp items also scale well (dshroud, bm, etc)

hollow goblet
#

opinion on: egression

yea

i once used it in an at-level archangel build, and it was pretty good

odd condor
#

necroposting smh

rocky parcel
#

wtf!!! go discuss items

#

what do u guys think of scale of seiryu

raven cedar
#

I like but it feels like it needs to have more ws

#

since it’s eclipsed by delirium

vagrant wave
#

delirium is a chestplate though (?)

raven cedar
#

given the req/mr/massive dmg penalties I think it makes sense for it to have the most ws out of any armor

rocky parcel
#

hmm i feel like adjustments to it really wouldn't be in the ws

raven cedar
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

I always thought of it as the funni ws slap boots

#

but currently there’s not much that makes it worth using over like revenant

simple talon
#

Imo the ws is in a fine place right now, but I'd say the -damage downsides are a little too harsh to have it see any practical use

#

That and its high req

#

If the -spell% downside was brought down to be about even with the -melee downside and its req was lowered slightly it'd be quite the useful boot

#

Not meta by any means, but a viable option if you value the walkspeed

vagrant wave
#

Yeah 100 agi at that level hurts

#

I think another possibility is maybe lowering the agi req and giving it some agi sp

simple talon
#

Maybe, I'd love to see seiryu see use in builds that aren't purely mobility based

#

Kinda like how delirium can see itself fitting into melee and spell builds every so often

#

And those -damages are quite harsh for that

stuck wyvern
simple talon
#

the top once since it's cheaper

#

dark shroud rolls do not matter

#

or if they do walkspeed and spell % are the only stats that matter

stuck wyvern
#

And what stats should I look for on a Dragon Dance?

vagrant wave
#

mr hpr ls spell raw spell%

#

no order in that but it changes based on class

stuck wyvern
#

im assassin

simple talon
#

i'd say Mr, Raw Spell, hpr, spell%, and lifesteal, but all are super important

vagrant wave
raven cedar
#

this seems like

#

the wrong channel

proper egret
#

i cant see it getting much use without some changes to dmg and high agi req

#

cuz like at level thats a ridiculous investment

#

and later on there are so many better boots for everything

#

so its benefits of mr and ws wont matter at that point

#

so yeah basically everything thats been said

torpid crow
#

however, that lack of practical usage is moreso due to numbers rather than design imo

#

because I have considered using it occasionally only to not do so because of the size of the penalties

still oxide
#

can't wait to use scale of seiryu + warp

raven cedar
#

lmao I completely forgot scale had a tier

lusty silo
#

scale of seriyu so useless

#

please lower agi req thank you

#

i would use tisauns valor

simple talon
#

I feel like something like this would make seiryu a lot more usable while not making it too OP imo

#

also a very good change yes

#

that could work too, ruins the simple design a little but otherwise solid

#

Seiryu's simple design is good wtf

#

you don't need the air damage and fire def

#

those are just flavors that aren't needed

#

more roll hell

#

I mean honestly just keep the damage downside relatively punishing instead of making it a net positive for melee and barely -20% for spell

#

that's terrible balance

#

Efteling's roll hell is a genuine strike against it, It should not be so hard to roll for

#

Although that being said I guess it's a little hard to try to make efteling less roll hell. Removing either raw spell or % spell and buffing either the non-removed one or buffing elemental damage would help, making mr/ms rolls less bad could help but would fuck with balance, and that's all you can really do

#

unless you removed elem damages which would skew it to buffing all damage types by a lot

#

which could be neat but also could be dangerous to give that much power to like cataclysm

#

but like what would the mr/ms rolls be lowered to, base 1 ms and base -2 mr?

#

oh of course

#

but what's the alternative

#

-1 mr would not be a suitable enough downside

#

at all

#

remember it's +2 -5 right now

#

yeah

raven cedar
#

mm

#

raw spell annoying to balance but having the % converted to raw does have nice implications for etwa builds

#

@ocean verge hey i made this thread for a reason, repost that thing you did here too pls

torpid crow
ocean verge
#

(i forgot threads exist)

#

Tell me about the ENDGAME (80+) items that disappoint you

What item do you just hate because of its wasted potential? 
What item is way too good but would be cool if it wasn't busted?
What item is way too bad but would be cool if it wasn't shit?
What item would be amazing if it wasn't for that one thing wrong with it?

Also, what do you WISH existed, but doesn't? (Especially weapon options, tell me all about it, and any candidates you have in mind that could fill the role with a few tweaks too if you want!)

This can be any item type. Looking for builders' opinions on endgame weapons so I can start thinking about the endgame weapon revamp, endgame armours so I can adjust lots of the things that are still a little wild from the endgame armour revamp (including the rainbow changes that still haven't happened), and accessories too which will probably get looked at someday lol

Currently only interested in level 80+ but feel free to use items below that range in discussion, say if one item is ruined because of another that happens to not be endgame

To clarify, I wanna hear about the items that you genuinely wish were different so they could be better, not just "this unique bad lol" with no substance.```

Cataract: Should be le epic water melee
Infidel: Should be le epic water melee
Rainmaker: Should be le epic water melee (but better)

torpid crow
#

I should go through the wynncon blademaster items and see if there are any concepts there that aren't well-represented in existing weapons

#

there's definitely some cool stuff like the no walkspeed weapon

raven cedar
#

Silent Ballet is a really cool concept but it's a bit lackluster in terms of damage and also doesn't really,,,, gain anything from the spellcosts other than moving things around (CCI: saltroll)

#

cstack archer weapons in general also simply do not exist (kio already mentioned rainmaker and ig tracer exists but agi req cstack :doom:)

Silent ballet is dope smh just gotta use it with heavy melee or heavy poison

if it had powder slots it'd be so good

island sniper has potential except plague and anthracite kinda be laughing at it

torpid crow
raven cedar
#

oh right I'd love to see more weapons with >100% exploding for the funny scarlet veil abuse because exploding is definitely a useful id

#

Anthracite Ballista is a lot of wasted potential I think bc it's eclipsed by plague while also having extreme roll hell
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Closure,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Petrified Horror is an interesting concept and I like the idea of crippling ws in return for high dmg but then it has low dmg :( (roughly the same dmg as orange lily but that's more bc orange lily is busted than bc of a design flaw for pethorror)
Hellstrand could be really cool but it's probably also in a decent ish place rn (I haven't messed around with hellstrand enough to say)
Orange Lily is hm. a bit busted.
Stinger deserves more heavy melee abuse make it shoot rockets like

simple talon
#

but then again

#

eyes on all

#

ls meanwhile doesn't see much representation in the tier drop family

raven cedar

but yes add more water melee stuff

what if it gave raw melee instead of % 🥰

I feel like cutting the poison from it since it makes no sense at all being on there

raven cedar

anyway I do not want to turn this into airing grievances and suggesting changes

simple talon

what if it was thunder/fire instead of water/earth 🥰

raven cedar

would rather just be like this item bad and then leave it to ims to decide changes

There are no rare/unique spears because they simply. do not exist.

I would love to see some sort of crowd control spear? like warrior spells in general aren't hugely amazing for CC due to heavy kb, so it'd be hella fun to have bash spamming spears or something (black amaranth 👀)
Also a poison spear why are there no good poison spears

still oxide
#

and it's pretty good

raven cedar
#

undying and praesidium are in a decent spot so not worth mentioning

#

they fit their roles well imo

still oxide
#

ye

raven cedar
#

my point was moreso that unique/rare spears generally just

#

don't even have a niche

#

they just kinda

#

exist? without really doing much or having any fun concepts

#

mm I have very few comments for mage weapons

#

oh compiler is hm

#

eidolon tstack :despair:
yellow rose D: it could be so cool as a funny roll dependent damager (roulette style) but then base dmg just said. no.
much like warrior unique wands do not exist

in terms of new weapons I'd like to see, cstack wands as mentioned before

I will leave daggers and reliks bc I have not built with assassin very much and bc reliks have a pretty solid spread in terms of concepts

raven cedar
#

OH actually another weapon idea I would love to see:
weapons that buff one spell to the exclusion of all else through the use of extreme elemental % to buff a specific spell (ie a weapon with like +13000% air to make totem ticks do funni dmg)

simple talon
#

would be cool except rolling 😔

raven cedar
#

make them merchant/dungeon items 🤪

simple talon
#

although I guess that's how poison items work anyways

#

so nvm

raven cedar
#

but also roling is part of the fun

simple talon
#

as long as they're uniques/rares

raven cedar
#

mm

#

but yes like

simple talon
#

yeah I think items like that were proposed way back before spell costs were added

#

ice snake focused damage wands and the like

#

I want a scream based spear tbh

raven cedar
#

much how ice barrows blue boss 3 has extreme -earth def to encourage earth conversion spells

#

I need

#

hell's scream

#

to have like

simple talon
#

Yeeeee

#

Hell's scream insane reliance on conversion but actually decent dps warscream spear

#

or you could just make scream cost very little and make it an ambivalence weapon

#

which could be cool too

simple talon
raven cedar
#

((ok this has 13k base war screams so maybe not exactly that but you get the idea))

#

mm

simple talon
#

Can't wait for 1st/2nd/3rd/4th spell damage% ids

#

separate multiplier for damage on that spell like

raven cedar
#

I am bad at making customs and I cba to balance numbers so you will get funny extreme customs

simple talon
#

would actually be dope tbh

raven cedar
#

me when the

simple talon
#

when the when

raven cedar
#

pure +300% 3rd spell dmg

#

make the crossing add 3k+ meteor with no str/dex :D

#

anyway getting off topic but

#

weapons that lock you into one spell like

raven cedar
#

idk 10-20k should be about right?

#

would still be significantly less dmg than everything else

#

mm

#

I murdered shield bc at first I had

#

30k base escape

#

and shield was like

#

a lot

#

oh doom

#

arrow rain also has

#

air conversion

#

:doom:

#

Carpet Bomb: Arrows generated by Arrow Rain deal damage in a radius

#

arrow shield generates what

#

100 arrows?

#

I think this is the wrong channel for this but

#

yes

#

that is what I just said :v

#

also that likely would cause extreme lag

#

homing arrows doom

#

poor nhawk

#

not anymore

#

ye

back when it was 120% per arrow

still oxide
#

i mean

#

it still does

#

if you can't get more than 40/60 of your reg arrow storm to hit the mob

raven cedar

ok granted it usually does still increase dps on account of being much more spammable and not always being able to hit all arrows in regular storm

oh as for armors I wish we had 30sp variants for the other tris besides TWA/TWF/EFA/ETF would be nice but also dunno if there's already a reason there isn't

torpid crow
#

that'd definitely be cool

#

iirc there was some discussion about that at some point

#

but 30sp variants for the other tris would be neat because they could play off of being an inherent foil to the hive armors

targeting designs that mismatch with the hive armors since by nature of sp they already cover a position that hive armors do not

some of them are cool

they seem a little too good on level

#

went to 65 in adv set and tempo spear in like not that long in herb

Dont you also take days to get them

#

In which you couldve progressed past their use unless you are a casual new player

hoary chasm

iirc it’s 2 days as you can get 6 tokens a day

#

Tho I can’t remember much anyway so that’s likely not correct

west leaf
#

i mean you can go to level 65 with adventurers and tempo weapon but like

#

theres better options

#

the tempo weapons are just the master hive/bob's mythic for level 30

#

and even then theyre not like above all else

#

im sure its a similar case for other classes too but i was leveling up a mage again recently and its not like tempo ticker is the only viable option

#

you get stuff like waives raiser and blossom

#

and just because of the fact that these items are limited to real world time its kinda

#

mandatory they be good

#

intuition my beloved

hollow goblet
#

65 with adventurer's is very :agony:

65 with adventurer's is doable but only if you're just using it to grind levels, actually doing quests involving difficult mobs or bosses really aren't realistic past like 45/50

topic: the various custom consumables we've gotten recently, like the bremminglar potions and the ava's workshop items

torpid crow

kinda wack tbh

rocky parcel

(note: ims technically do not handle any of them, just curious what people think of them as i do not ever hear anyone talk about them)

torpid crow
#

they get balanced ad hoc by GMs and usually end up hurting balance imo

raven cedar
#

custom consumables are like

#

funky but dont have much use I think

torpid crow
#

some of them are really strong

raven cedar
#

hm

west leaf
#

good for the game imo

rocky parcel
#

personally i find them pretty neat but everything they do is pointing to eventual "required" consumables or consumables that start phasing other stuff out which is something i really hope to never see

torpid crow
#

agree on all parts

rocky parcel
#

crafted consumables are a much different breed due requiring a large amount of effort into them and never being exclusive or semi-exclusive, but these "custom effect items" just kinda feel like they exist because they can exist- and i don't mean to say that in any bad way

#

also the bremminglar special potions are really powerful at level and if it weren't for growing out of those levels quickly they'd probably be overpowered

torpid crow
#

there's basically only two routes for OP stuff - either they become obligatory, or they become consensus blacklisted

rocky parcel
#

pretty much, yeah
and personally i prefer consumables to always be in the latter group, in any game

west leaf
#

i dunno i think theyre overall pretty cool just so long as nothing that fundamentally changes how a class is played (ie most things related to mobility, for example a dash) that would be restricted to solely such items so as to where they become "required"

Writhing growth buff when

hollow goblet
#

it's already the best hm leggings and one of the best cstack damage items

simple talon
#

Eh, honestly it was kinda nerfed the hardest out of the hm armors

#

however I don't think the solution is buffing it

#

nerf the other hm armors

#

just by a little bit

rocky parcel
#

it was nerfed the hardest out of the heavy melee items but it also was by far the most powerful out of the heavy melee items

#

now it's not quite in as powerful of a spot anymore and i can see the argument for it not even having enough raw melee to be worth the downsides (or lack of upsides) to use in heavy melee but that's kinda intentional

#

it's still most excellent in cancelstack & i personally prefer items being a genuine tradeoff rather than a straight up yes

simple talon
#

yeah, it's just that most of the other items fared a little too good (just by a tiny bit, and it's partly my bad) so they should probably be brought down a couple %

torpid crow
#

since being good in cancelstack is about both dmg and -tiers while being good in hm is just about the dmg

#

so there's nothing preventing every heavy melee item also being competitive in cancelstack, design-wise

ivory schooner
west leaf
#

its the best option for cancelstack because there arent even many cancelstack options to begin with

#

and it being so lackluster compared to both standard hm items and then even tierstack as said is just kinda e

not what i meant

it got buffed to have one (1) additional second of slowness

Yes

Some definetly were

Like virgo

#

Bete noire is a perfect example of high requirements paying off

#

Virgo could've been like that but for tierstack

#

Instead they decided to make it nearly unusable

torpid crow
#

more than just that

#

items as a whole were not balanced with the changes in mind

ivory schooner

earnest junco
#

But that's true for many low level items now

#

Because they only nerfed level 80+ weapons

ivory schooner
#

not too mention that black is way harder too roll

#

roulette was nerfed

#

0-88 -> 0-80 -_-

rocky parcel
#

virgo was changed because initial strdex was showing extremely powerful results with it unchanged

#

ETF tierstack and especially ETA was unironically getting nearly double previous dps

#

now i'm perfectly aware that in todays day and age class builders (ingo) scoff at any build below 80 defense and 50k EHP and all that but unchanged virgo was not realistic to keep

#

quad meta was entirely expected

#

but personally i still see that as the fault of a few items rather than the problem of many

#

not actually hardnerfing the quad items because i couldn't figure out for the life of me how i'd go about doing that fairly for one thing

torpid crow
#

easiest solution imo is to just buff hive armors

#

won't solve the whole issue but would go a long way since they lost a ton of power when str/dex got stronger

also items like cardiac arrest with -def/-agi

hoary chasm

idrk what the strati buff was really, changes next to nothing

elder swan
#

I kinda dislike the slayer nerf because it's used a lot w sparkling plate afaik. If I understand it correctly you can only reach -76% 3rd cost (so 1 cost meteor/aura for mage/shaman) with both max 3rd cost on sparkling plate & slayer. The difference between 1 cost and 2 cost spells for a max roll and non-max roll is ridiculously large. (I don't know if its possible to change the 3rd cost to any other value though, because I can imagine that % cost items are a pain to balance.)
I do like the vortexian nerf & galleon buff.

aside from poison generally being kinda fucked and galleon poison buff really just being there to put it above the other mega poison items again

I don't think the sp is inherently an issue

#

but wtf even is galleon supposed to be useful for?

#

why does it have the dumb -1 tier and melee%?

#

okay I know why it's because of selvut

galleon doesn't really have a design, it's like those TA items that have generic stats slapped on top

west leaf
#

poison hybrid I think

#

which I think is pretty cool

earnest junco
#

brings gaia to super slow

melee is good because it's hybrid

galleon basically is a hybrid of spellsteal, poison and melee

rocky parcel

galleon has a super fun design

#

and it has close to no reason to get sp

torpid crow

agree on no sp

but it has no reason not to get more -tiers and lose the %melee

i think the fact that it only has -1 tier is a major part of its charm

rocky parcel
#

yes but are general tendencies like

#

standing in the way of things existing

torpid crow
#

eh I kind of agree with ingo

#

galleon really lacks in use

#

and as mythic weapons become cheaper, they start to reach the point at which the flaws of mythic baseline is exposed

#

i.e. they become the only thing that matters

#

basically what already happened to mythic boots to some extent, on a larger scale because mythic weapons are even better relatively speaking

rocky parcel
#

not an incorrect observation but i feel like it's misplaced here

torpid crow
#

fair enough

ivory schooner
#

still tho, i feel giving mythic boots a static stat (like sp or a major id) would improve them.

ivory schooner
#

and although galleon might not need sp, it could be a way of fixing the problems with boot prices dropping to nothing if they have a bad roll

earnest junco
#

bart, thoughts on a major ID that replaces uproot with wave spell on hadal?

rocky parcel
#

mythics serving as ultra endgame near easter egg weapons becoming much, much more common to the point where it seems that they are slowly starting to affect general balancing is related to people often using mythic boots in builds with mythic weapons, but unrelated to the actual balance of that mythic boot itself

#

not on hadal honestly
