Vaal Orb has 1/36 chance to 6 Link

does it need to be 6s first? or it can neglect the socket numbers and always 1/36 chance to 6L, haha

Ambush is considered the default difficulty for PoE, not standard/hardcore (even says so in yellow)

Backflip ninja attack!! How can Ambush be the default difficulty, if std is the parent league? I've been hearing the mantra "new leagues must not be easier than parent" all this time. There's people basing their naysaying on this line, ffs! :)

Just because it isn't the Parent League, doesn't mean it isn't the Default.

Lets say a muffin mold is the parent league, and a chocolate chip muffin is the child league. We could say that the default muffin is chocolate chip, even though the parent is the mold...

That was a horrible analogy, kill me now.. >_<

Alt+ F4 and Esc logout are the same speeds, only Cuthroat has a 5 sec. cooldown

Thats not true, test it out yourself. It might be the same logout speed for many other people, but it doesnt work for me. For me its ATLEAST 1/2 a sec slower to alt+f4 than esc logout, probably even more. Its pretty consistent on my controlled near-death-logout tests. So generalizing this "fact" is wrong and can lead people into death. Its pretty sad to see the developers confirming this, although there are many different computer systems that can have different effects because of many various reasons.

I can only suggest to test it out yourself before believing bullshit that might kill you.

What I want to know, is is the 1/36 before or after the "reroll" odds?

Like is it 1/36 when you Vaal something to get a 6L Rare.
Or 1/36 WHEN it rerolls into a Rare, to get a 6L Rare from Vaal?

The 1/36 stat is incorrect. It's only 1/36 if it chooses that mode, so it's actually 1/144.

Lol, the exact same time I asked my question, Chris had the answer posted at the same time.. xD

PS. This means that Chris just confirmed Vaal Orb's "reroll" chance is 1/4. :P
