Rate my Randimar's Rarities

I grew to like Riptide, especially in triple duel league or on a lone frontrunner out for mischief.

 

Thanks for the advice, that's actually similar to what I was thinking so I feel good about that hahah.

I've seen some discussion of Nova Axe vs Laser Rapier, I think I'm gonna hold out on Rapier until I can make a better decision and I have more money, although I might regret that hahah.

Thanks! I actually won the world championship of the game I've played my whole life (Heroclix) and I've been looking for an online game that's similar for a little variety and to keep my positioning sharp because I have no competition locally. Then I saw this on steam and remembered liking it so I thought I'd give it another shot. Thanks for the advice as well.

 

Where is the shop restock?

 

Or rather when?
My RR did not restock.
I forgot to look yesterday so it still has the old items. Any advice?

Bloodchopper
Blessed Radcannon
Lochaber Axe
Staff Of Soot

 

Is White Flame worth buying?

 

It's a really good staff when paired with Staff Of A Million Embers (Staff Of Embers and Barnum's Staff are also great) and arcane items that have Flame JetS and/or Glob Of FlameS.

Mind you that most of the good burning items are legendary.

 

The axes are decent, the other two aren't.

 

How many Vibrant Pain does one need? I have 3, do i need a fourth?

P.S. LCD, please don't say 9.

 

Three (3) Vibrant Pains is enough, unless you want to make some silly builds. I wouldn't buy more than three.

***

RR has Meztis Wyrmhide Robes and St. Gwendolyn's Armor I need for my collection. Otherwise 3rd Atomic Drop Console is as good as it gets with the duplicate selection.

 

Speaking of Vibrant Pain, I used to have one on my old account, but I've completely forgotten the username and password. Is there any way to recover it with no knowledge of anything but the email?

Looks like I've got a few decent items this week after a fairly long dry spell:

Avakiria's Cup
Barnum's Burning Bauble
Darkblood Glaive
The Bludgeonator
Twizel's Water Talisman
Wym's Lavastaff

Insta-bought my second Wym's Lavastaff but wondering if any of the others are worth purchasing. In particular wondering about Darkblood Glaive and Avakiria's Cup. But probably only have the gold to buy one or the other this week.

I've got two Skull Of Iljin which I run when I need lots of Savage Curse, but still might be worth it to get the glaive.

I also like to run burning wizard in certain places in SP where firestorm makes less sense, (first level of CoC, for instance), but I'll need a bunch of legendaries and better staves before I'll be well itemized so not sure it's worth prioritizing.

Any advice on the dilemma above or better items there I might have overlooked?

 

Darkblood Glaive is a must buy, in my opinion. Sometimes you want to use the Divine Item slot for items other than Iljin, and Darkblood + Iljin + one other Savage Curse item (possibly another Iljin) puts you at a good Savage Curse card count.

Avakiria's Cup is a great niche wizard item and is the most cost effective way to get Glob of Flame in terms of tokens. Avakiria's Cup belongs on dedicated fire wizards. It is not as good as Wym's Fiery Bangle if you plan to use it with Rantic's Orb of Inner Fire. If you plan to mix dedicated control with your fire wizard (you do this when your fire wiz has little to no support) then I don't recommend it.

Twizel's Water Talisman is a niche wizard item. I find myself wanting it when I want to increase Flash Flood count, despite the major token cost. If you don't see yourself playing a terrain/control wizard any time soon then don't buy.

Of course if you like wizards a lot or want to boost your wizard item collection then niche wizard items become must buys.

The other items are never worth considering.

 

*Ahem*

 

He said he already bought it, so I didn't include that.

 

Grats on the nice RR selection!

I agree with Deepweed. After buying your 2nd Wym's Lavastaff, you should consider getting Darkblood Glaive, since 4x Savage Curse (from two Skull of Iljins) is not that much really. Also gives more flexibility to pack Demon Charm Of The 7th Circles or other buff / support items.

• Avakiria's Cup is nice burning item, but I think you should get burst / burn staves first. Especially for CoC, I like to run armor removal (and Accelerate Time) in Arcane Items and let the staves do the (burning) damage.
• Barnum's Burning Bauble: With the exception of Magma Scepter, you don't want Firestorms in your minor token items. Would not purchase.
• The Bludgeonator: Use Infused Greatclub to scratch that Pulverizing Bludgeon itch. Would not purchase.
• Twizel's Water Talisman: 2x Flash Flood minor token items are usually enough (and cheaper). Given hypothetical 20k budget, this would've been my 4th pick after Wym's, Darkblood & Avakiria's, but you don't really miss that much.

 

I'm gonna buy Darkblood Glaive later this week. I don't think given my current budget that investing in burning wizard is viable, only to use it for a couple modules in SP.

As an aside: What staffs do you recommend looking out for? I have been waiting for a Searing Pain to come along but in the meantime I've got:

2x Staff Of Embers
2x Roaring Staff
2x Charring Staff
1x Staff Of The Fire God
1x White Flame
1x Sabo's Flamespit Staff
1x Tempered Flamestaff
3x Torching Staff

What are good combos with the above? I generally run 2xStaff Of Embers or switch one out for Sabo's Flamespit Staff if I'm stacking too many Ember Burst. I've found that White Flame makes me draw too many Instant Burn without attachments on enemies. Any tips on what I can use now to maximize effectiveness? What should I be on the look out for in terms of staffs?

Thanks, Deepweed & Pawndawan!

 

I wouldn't compare Searing Pain to actual burn staves. Searing Pain is really AoE staff that should be paired by another Searing Pain (or Blue Destruction, if don't know how to spend major token otherwise and/or are afraid of fire-immunity).

Staff Of Embers is really good burn staff. Given your situation/budget, I'm not sure I'd buy Staff Of A Million Ember / Barnum's Staff, but consider yourself lucky if you happen to loot either of them.

As you said, White Flame can be a little overkill, if you don't pack many Glob Of Flames / Flame Jets on your arcane items. Overheated Staff might be a nice downgrade to get those Instant Burns, but again, not necessarily worth the price tag.

To get most of your Firestarter wizard (you're running, Focused Pyromancy, right?), you might want to turn your attention to Accelerate Time, Flame Warper being the most suitable item for the task.

Other route is to get more triggered burning via Volcano / Wall Of Fire. The king of Volcano staves is Mordecai's Staff Of Magma. Don't forget Runestone, especially if you're (mostly) running AoE damage spells.
