Secret Info From San Fransisco Meetup

Upon seeing the chance for 6 linking I burned my (useless) 13 vaal orbs for the fun of it. Did manage to get a 5L:


But with locked sockets it's kinda useless, unless you can vaal orb a corrupted item.. can you? that would atleast give you a chance for some white sockets.

Nope... more like the chances of getting certain things. The only way gambling should be considered is if someone has access to the probabilities involved. Like what's the chance of getting a certain color combination on a certain item? We're guessing and approximating, but the difference in approximations is often in the 1000s of chromes. Can't make an informed choice under those conditions. Of course the developers smile and say "We can. Sucks to be you." Numbers involving a player's choice to try or not to try for something should be public.

The argument that hidden numbers make the game more fun is silly. Did the game just become less fun because you told us this probability? Did it?

Why should they give you what you want? Its their game and they give us what they want. Acti Blizz has been doing it since ever.

and about vaal gems - most are good but please - if anyone knows - tell me how to use these:



cold snap - ice nova has better actual freezing potential + soul cost
lightning warp - area is too small, damage too low, awkward to use
ground slam - does 20% of dmg that it should do for its soul cost. knockback is.. desync prone + in this game knockback is a hindrance for melee, not a bonus
glacial hammer - miniscule damage, cost, duration, better to just freeze with GH. placement prone to desync, soul cost

and actually interesting but too expensive
detonate dead - VERY niche, extreme soul cost

also, these gems seem to be mostly ignored by community seeing that 'skill feedback' posts on these are mostly desolate deserts


I have my cold snap 3-linked... I should muti-traps as a 4th
if you have vaal ice nova replace vaal snap with it.

after you get used to when to cast it youll see that ice nova has immensely bigger dmg and utility potential (esp when it crits)

i have cold crit spec and cold snap was an utter disapointment..

Vaal Orb has 1/144* chance to 6 Link
I hate when they get information like this from meetups and the developers don't share this anywhere else. What happens if the people at the meetup don't share this information? Noone else knows this and they're just crafting 6-links, getting thousands of exalts. Fucking pay the travel to the meetup and win.

This is valuable information too.
Edit: Like imagine if someone got a clue at a meetup about the GCP vendor recipe, and then figured it out and he was one of the people who exploited the GCP recipe before it was revealed. Fucking disgusting. I hate secrets like that.
