Ground loot really does seem much improved though. Dropped 2 raw divines during the campaign and another 3 today in maps. And a whole bunch of exalts and ancient orbs too. I think you can safely exalt slam random decent stuff now.

I guess this answers what the empowered mechanic for smugglers caches is:

Absolution or Lightning Arrow would be a good choice for your needs as well.

One thing is abundantly clear about the drunk 12 year old boy blowing his fingers off because he had no supervision from his sister:

No, that was just straight cast speed stacking + frostblink of wintry blast

The empowered mirage mechanics might drastically affect the meta too, like we've seen the anointable belt from blight, the dust ore from kalguur, the essence of desolation, etc. We know we get special rancour juice from harvest but we have no idea what the crafts for it are yet. We might get...

The thing about hives is you get WAY more wombgifts and hiveblood in fortresses, and the chests drop foulborn uniques. Not to mention hive colonies for It That Was Tul/Esh and their drops.

Damn, shaping the skies/mountains is juicy enough to be an auto-include in any strategy now. The route to Unwavering Vision now includes a node for 12% more scarabs. I'm not even sure Unwavering is worth it anymore with the map drop changes. Kind of annoyed where they put Synthesized...

GCP's will be more valuable, and you now have more of a chance to hit eldritch embers as rewards instead of the other stuff, but yeah, seems a little more lopsided this patch. There's always hope now that fracturing orbs are in the common drop pool for currency that the patch will reveal...

yeah when you're not stacking insane cast speed and you're just using it on a 4 link for regular old clear with spellblade/Eblade doing the heavy lifting on damage, it's actually pretty chill and not that ridiculous. that's why noone goes full wintry blast, they just use it to augment a 6-link...

I didn't have anywhere near Connors level of gear and i was about 30% of the speed of this guy, who is JUST stacking cast speed instead of damage. It's still plenty fast.

Looking at this pob specifically, it's gonna be a rough time getting even to just the "FoulbornGhost" loadout. he's got a foulborn dream rolling life, that's a third of his total damage. that's a 280 div item.

This is basically the same thing as Connor's Eblade scavenger from phrecia 2.0, which I played. You teleport around with frostblink for pretty good clear and anything that survives the blink you just incinerate down. if you're doing something like blight or ore nodes or delve you just stand...

Just depends on the Wish. If it's a really good wish, like a good leveling unique, 5-link, etc it'll be worth doing, but yeah 9 times out of 10 if you're trying to speed through the campaign you'll want to skip it. That said, I still enjoy doing the league mechanic during the campaign just...

DUI, nothing exciting.
