Terror of Demogorgon (ToDG) Named Items

[Contessor]

The list of items in this expansion is miserably bad. Considering the ML and the fact that we are now 36, I cannot see a single item I would want. Maybe a few decent weapon options. And the heroic stuff is not as good as Lamordia overall. Maybe a few decent caster options, like the Jellysight goggles.

Really quite dissappointing.

Sounds like a good thing to me. Then you can just enjoy playing the game instead of farming for rare items

Or just avoid the expansion altogether.

I think the loot looks great. Most people I speak to seem to be excited.

I play a pale master so the belt artifact with insightful void lore has me drooling. The Ioun crown with elemental absorption is an insanely good piece for nearly anyone. There's a trinket with enhancement, insightful and quality doubleshot, and there's a ring with quality sheltering. I know people are excited about these also.

Personally I feel like the devs have done a great job on loot this expansion.

I was just about to say something similar when I read your post. If you're not keen on the gear, lets enjoy playing the game we all love, or on occasion love to hate. And if they're still implementing the rare loot table, lets be glad the gear this pack isn' up to your standards since you won't see it anyway.

is this rage bait?

Someone posts this with every new expansion and quest pack.

I think that is what I just said. Do what you enjoy doing

I'm not impressed either, but I'll keep an open mind and see how it pans out.

I like the catalyst crafting options. Getting fun old items (Mad Lute) or obsolete things (Drow Piwafwi) back into play was a good idea.

I agree in the main part, though. I just browsed through the list and there wasn't much there that I 'd be particularly excited for my characters to have or that I'd be willing to do loot-tetris for.

I do agree with the catalyst crafting being cool. Too bad the catalysts are in fact the rare loot drops from this expansion.

Yeah, I think it's important to point out the problematic sytems in the game like the rare loot system. Otherwise we should just all enjoy playing this fanastic game.

It'll be okay if they're "feytwisted" rare. I hope they're not "Bust of the Slave Lords" rare.

Right now things might not work gear-wise towards your advantage, but there's going to be new gear coming with every content pack, and maybe something pops up that you want/need, and thus begins the tetris again, so gear that might not have been attractive in this moment becomes so because it now fits in with your new gear set. But yea, this isn't such a huge jump that you need to redo your entire gear-sets right this minute.

Some people will scramble to have the latest shiny thing, and that's good on them. Looking at some of this gear, some of it is nice and due to the flexibility of the sun/moon augment system I might swap a thing here or there, so my gear becomes a combination of 34/36, but I don't intend to make it all 36 right this moment.

Maybe next year with another content pack and another expansion it'll make sense to change more out, or maybe when the raid drops there will be something you want that might make you alter you sets, but otherwise, unless you need to squeeze every last bit of DC, DPS, damage mitigation or what-have-you out of your toon, you'll be fine for the time being.

Yeah this is what I hope. Maybe the raid loot changes things a bit.

non-catalyst items with raid dice?

 

[l_remmie]

They are lamordia rare. Which to me means they dont exist, as i have yet to see a lamordia rare as well in dozens of sagas.

Come on, it's the only artifact with 3 enchantments instead of 4. No other magic item has fewer than 4 enchantments. It's another slap in the face to casters.

An artifact with one less enchantment is NOT good work. And there's no reason why Insightful Void Lore should be rarer than Insightful Elementals; it's just another example of poor design. We have many enchantments that barely appear on equipment or have been forgotten, and that's not good work.

Nothing leaped out when looked it over during Lam, but then I'm hoping to pretty much not upgrade anything but weapons between L31 and L40; the midstream items will be pointless for Legendary TR cycles.

Raid weapons are usually a worthwhile upgrade. Most others aren't unless it's something very special indeed.

I was excited for chill gear, but I didn't want to take the next 3 years grinding out a gear set, when this brain tumor will kill me in under a year. The joys of serving my country.
