Oni-Goroshi in Current League - are You gonna farm it or drop it?

Getting or creating +10 move speed boots on your scions really speeds things up. Getting Wanderlust for a scion is fabulous. +29 move speed really keeps things going and if you don't bother with a chest, you don't lose 3%.

Well I guess this deserves a bump.

Sup.

Peace,

-Boem-

I may have to farm one in memory of Charan. (Yes I have farmed three, one before the drop nerf and 2 after)

I got my fourth this league. One was a perfect roll.

why not

lol why waste time on that?

gawking at the clouds in the middle of the street is a better waste of time than farming for a onigoroshi.

Playing PoE is a waste of time as much as farming for Oni is a waste of time.

Here's a partial list of things to do.

<<<  In honor of Charan  >>>

Another league and another day at the beach. Running a 3 OG farmer rotation this time, 2 rangers, 1 Templar.

Hey uber Hillock, please come out and play with me. We can have such a wonderful time playing "the dance of death" once more... please!... pretty please!!...



Rat's, level 7 and no UH.



Rat's, level 8 and no UH.

Uber Hillock... where are you?

More dozens of beach runs... damn the completely dead zombies are starting to pile up. I sure hope I don't have to go the full distance (another member of the Twilight Strand Level 9 Beach Club).

Oops again:


More DCs to interrupt the pleasant jogs up the beach. WDC or Dallas realm, it didn't matter. Networklayer packet loss DCs me out too much (SIGH!).


What's this?... Ah it is UH... so nice to see you today.



And so the dance of death begins once more:



This is where the melee changes introduced in Legion League really work well. Dodging UH in the one on one battle is melee bliss. No mobs, no fx clusterfuck shit, just a great straight up melee fight.


Needed to back off to get UH to leap slam and awaken his minions to refill flasks twice.


Uber Hillock is dead once more. Templar and Glacial Hammer is supposed to be the most difficult/tedious but with the melee rework it is a great fun fight. Just stay is close, hit and dodge, rinse and repeat, and UH does't leap slam until 10% health left. At least melee is viable here.
Thank you GGG.

3 minutes and 38 seconds to kill UH with Glacial hammer and

is not too shabby at all. The fight went so smoothly and dodging was so satisfying that the tedious boredom of all the beach runs was worth it.

And now for the prize:


Another Charan Sword. 83% crit is ok (I've gotten much worse).

All in all this UH battle (sword #22) was by far the most fun. Now I just have to clear the beach of all the dead zombies and Sand Spitters before they start to rot... yuck!


We will always mourn the loss of Charan.

Well,

I calculated more or less that with any build im slow and die a lot and its frustrating.. but i bought oni and leveled another character and guess what..

Each act I finished 15-20min quicker and it was nice facerolling through content..

10acts: 150min - 200 min saved up.

Farming tabula over many leagues turned out to be better solution than skipping it and rushing to maps. By better I mean, there was no magical profit waiting in maps.

Farming tabula would probably net around few hours. Lets say 2hours.

And in new league, in white maps I know i do die a lot, especially with no resistances and less damage than it can make me safe to level up.

So lets assume tier1 t2, t3, t4, t5: maps I would struggle in new league 2min for each map (not to die and kill a boss). 40maps - 80min slower but safe by not dying.

~400min or ~7hours.

This in itself would make oni worth farming for boring 7hours than same 7hours of frustration in campaign alone.
