Rate my Randimar's Rarities

Glad to hear it! I suspect many good tokenless items will become more relevant as more EttSC items come into play.

 

My first Atomic Drop Console or my second Searing Pain? Focused Crushing is also on offer, but I just can't seem to bring myself to drop 2500 on it. I do have a Blue Destruction if that makes a difference in the question of Searing Pain.

 

Searing Pain.

 

Sort of what I was leaning toward, thanks Flax. We need to talk about Burrft.....

 

Atomic Drop Console! You have 1 Searing Pain already, and Rad Bomb is waaaay cooler than Fireball.

 

@Mr. Magnifico: Grats! I'd buy the both if the wallet can take it.

@Melancthon: I agree with Flax & CT5. Searing Pain has been proven to be strong MP, but Radiation Bomb is cooler than Fireball in many ways. Maybe it would be better to run Cursed Radcannon than the Atomic Drop Console, but the Console still offers the biggest Bomb / token ratio. Don't even think about Focused Crushing, when you have alternatives like that in your Randi.

 

Just about anything is cooler, because Fireball is the heat.

 

Thanks to legendary treasure drop, I now can handle one of three items from my Randi I want to purchase. What do I go for first?

Bynzer's Black Spear
Bleneth's Frenzy Charm
Mordecai's Staff Of Magma

There's also Ring Of Appropriation, but legs have a higher priority for me I think.

 

1. Mordecai's Staff Of Magma: This will help tremendously is high-level campaign modules and is quite fun / powerful in MP too, at least in some leagues. Nothing really can replace it.
2. Bynzer's Black Spear: The best (and only worth considering?) vampire weapon. Good in both SP & MP. Vampire's Blade and Lifesuck Spear can somewhat replace this.
3. Ring Of Appropriation: The more, the better. Staple item for all control wizards.
4. Bleneth's Frenzy Charm: All Bleneth items are great, but you usually want to first get the big boys (Bleneth's Skull & Bleneth's Frenzy Medallion). A bit more useful in SP, if you want to run melee parties in lower levels.

 

Ever heard of Draining Dagger? (I do think BBS is the best Vampire weapon in the game)

 

Yes, but I would never suggest buying one. I don't know about MP, but in SP I prefer Vampire's Blade + St. Olf's Fiery Pike or even 2x Vampire's Blade instead of Draining Dagger.

 

And what does this have to do with the fact that you're saying BBS is the only vampire weapon?

 

Neither BBS nor DD are vampire weapons, you crazy cats. There's one criterion for vampire weapons and they both fail it: no cards that don't drain.

 

Note that this is not a universally shared criterion. Some might point out that Loner is not a drain, so BBS is closest to a true vampiric weapon. Others would say cycling traits don't count. It's a philosophical question, like how many pins can you stick in the head of a dancing angel. Philosophy can get you killed. Pragmatism is better for helping you kill. Go with what works for you.

 

Pfft, Loner drains. (Note I used the verb, not the noun.) It drains your life.

 

Semantics. And this is a good thing?
Loner isn't so bad in 3v3. When mobs with more moves swarm you in PvE, loner gets rougher. (Note: Vulnerable has a very unhealthy synergy with Loner, and is best avoided) I can usually deal with 2 Loners, but 4 is a bit much. (I drew 3 in a row from Martyr's Blessing twice in one adventure. I don't do that anymore. Doubles are often survivable.)

 

Truth, I just did Troll Tyrant with a team of vamps. Guess what happens when you draw loner and you're completely surrounded by bloodsuckers on map 3? Hits harder than the boss!

 

That's a very appropriately named blessing in that case.

 

Is a second Mulick's Blisterstaff worth the cheese?
Also looking at a 3rd Crazy Sal's Halber
And of course my like 100th Giant Skeletal Arm
I hope one day to build a Giant Skeletal ARMy

 

@Juxtapostion: Get 2nd Mullik's Blisterstaff if you really want to push your case in Death March. I don't think it makes SP farming any faster.

Get 3rd Crazy Sal's Halberd if you want to build extreme trait cycling warrior or three identical characters with anger management issues.

I'd say the Halberd is a bit more useful, but I wouldn't buy either.
