Rate my Randimar's Rarities

I got that orb in my randimar's too. It looks like the sort of thing that would feel almost OP in a firestorm deck using Runestones, since you're not just dragging enemies into the lava, but through a path of knives on their way there. A lot of firestorm items have really random stuff attached to them, but those look like great synergy to me. I've also got that armor, and True Mail, and I'm still waiting for someone to finally convince me which one of those is slightly better overall.
I agree that the wand looks useful. The locket slightly less. building walls and linear burns seem kind of self defeating, don't you think? Take burns+ice or Ice+walls and it seems like a nice theme, but burns+walls? Is that really a thing?

 

Inkdark Halberd Worth the 500gp?
I got nothing else in my shop

 

Some pretty sweet wizard and cleric stuff for me this week.

Mordecai's Staff Of Magma
Bloody Bracelet
Healing Hand Mace
Madman's Maul

 

I like this one, I would pick it up if you have spare cash. No major requirements and generally nice for priests, esp. if you have a draining subtheme going on.

I picked up the wand to build up my stash of encumber. The orb, I'm holding off till Friday. If I grind excess cash, I will pick it up too. It's really nice, but I might not use it much in this meta.

 

I'm probably only going to have the gold for one epic, maybe two this week. Trying to decide between:

Helm Of Reinforcement
Savage Plates
Raging Rock

Also have a Blazing Shortsword, but I've already got one of those, and a St. Alipp's Hammer, but there's no way I'm going to get enough gold for a legendary. I'm leaning towards the helm right now, but if you've got a better idea then by all means let me know.

 

My insta-pick would be the Blazing Shortsword. I have one and I want another, and possibly a third. Failing that I would go for Savage Plates first, and Raging Rock second.

 

Yep. If there's one thing that's helped me get loot, it's focusing on my SP farming gear first. My warrior runs with The Strongarm and two Blazing Shortswords and we quickly make mincemeat of the lower level dungeons on a daily basis. It was a great investment on the future. If you're worried about not being able to afford good stuff regularly, then setting your party up to easily snowball it's speed through everything will save you grief.

This is, of course, coming from someone who enjoys RNG farming, so if that's not where you get your kicks and farming is too repetative, then by all means don't set yourself up to burn out. Just grab the cool stuff.

 

Best item this week is Bullseye Shield. Needless to say, it's not a good week for Randy's!

 

This week I've got Og's Boots Of Peril and Xemu's Staff as my Legendaries. Some other notables are Charring Staf, Skooster's Amulet and Storm Circlet. It looks like I might be able to build a viable Firestorm team for SP-farming soon...

 

I had so much good stuff in my Randomar's last week, which I wanted to buy Sunday, thinking that it resets sunday night. But it resetted on Saturday night instead and now it's all gone...

Of course there is only crap in there now.

 

On the bright side, you'll have the gold for when you have good stuff again.

 

What do people think of Healing Hand Mace? I've been tinkering with builds that afford to a priest's weapon, but I already have Glinting Eye Hammer, Godtouched Spear, and Nimbus Blade to choose from. If I want my priest to have a lot of killing power it seems like just going for the Glinting Eye Hammer might be the right call...I just hate Raging Strike so much. Healing Hand Mace would still give me 2 14-damage attacks, and let me avoid the accursed Raging Strike, but...I don't know. 500 gold is a lot of money for me.

 

I personally love it, Raging Strike can really suck and on the other hand I feel like Shredding Strike is very underrated and is really a great card - gets rid of that pesky reliable mail and deals the damage in addition.
I'd buy it but you do have a nice selection of weapons already, I feel it comes down to how many priests you run - if it's two or more I'd say it's worth it.

 

Thanks for your thoughts!

 

This week's Legendaries: Azan's Icy Bulwark, Staff Of The Misanthrope, and Xemu's Crown
I'd use the staff if I had it, but I won't buy it; the others I wouldn't use if you gave them to me.

For Epics, the Flashing Longspear and Giant's Battleaxe look good, but my cash is pretty low right now. In the Rares, I already have a Perfect Ferocity and Tough Leather Cap, but I might get the Scouring Axe.

 

Yay, Whiteglow Flail make its first appearance.

Other than that, nothing interesting as usual

 

There hasn't been much for me to buy for the last few weeks, so I've saved up a fair bit of money - which is good because this week there were a bunch of things that I wanted.

I've just sold a heap of treasures, and bought the following:
The Goldleaf Blade (which is special because it can't drop from adventure chests)
Rageblood Dagger
Slippery Shield
Firehide Robes
Focused Healer
True Strike Spear

This is by far my most bountyful Randimar's week so far.

 

I would get the Tough Leather Cap. I like it very much, and gotten good use out of it in MP.

 

The only legendary this week is Crazy Sal's Halberd. I assume him being crazy is what led him to tag a common item as legendary.

 

Azgul's Orb this week - I wish I had it so I could use it to farm the gold for it, heh. There's also a Storm Circlet. Given I only have 1 tokenless Firestorm item so far, I'd really love to buy both but I'd pretty much need to find a few epic or one legendary treasure to get enough gold.

ETA: Bought the Storm Circlet and went to farm lowbie maps with it ... and of course, another Storm Circlet dropped. Fine with me since there's always room for more tokenless Firestorms. Didn't make much progress towards buying Azgul's though.
