Im SSF so... All 5 huntHers are lvl7 so Hillock runs only. I must say Kinetic Blast or Bolt whatever that skills name is, is way better than Spectral Throw.

I agree, I found that skill early on in one of my farm runs and by the end all of them were using it. That is one killer skill, especially for a level 1 skill.

Was the first time I farmed my Oni :D Took 3x chars till lvl 8 (was killing all mobs along the way to hillok from lvl 7 to 8) and ~1.5h of running after.

Are they still any good outside SSF with all that access to great weapons?

I don't think its worth the effort outside of SSF, since it doesn't scale well enough to be a permanent item in your build. Sure, it can serve for a long while (as I got it mainly to avoid having to upgrade several times during story arc) but I could have also just played a proper league starter and probably been mapping already.

Doing Hillock only kills all the way up to lvl 8 it finally dropped for two of my 4 chars at around 10% of their xp bar filled.

I'm confused tho wasn't Oni-goroshi only white sockets ? The two I got are red and green socks.

Nope, OG is a normal 6L socket color sword:

Huh... Closing to lvl 8 on all hunters but still no OG.

Keep grinding.

Finally got them


Not good rolls but can be dived. Now i can start enjoying Delirium.

Well I'll gonna bump this ol thread,
found my 3rd (and last) one for this league.

the fights (if anybody is curious):
1st one with Shadow Lvl. 7.8
2nd onw with Witch Lvl. 8.1
3rd one with Duelist Lvl. 8.23
two of them i will migrate to Std. Delirium to play with my son, for the 3rd i dunno really which build i want to play. I get the strange feeling I should've tried Cyclone at least once before it's getting nerfed. But de99ial's Bladestorm Scion also looks appealing.

I tested Duelist/Champion in MetaMorph also was fun. Scion is kinda test to see if this will perform better than Duelist. Champion/Trickster ;)

Well now, here's a familiar sight:


Calling Uber Hillock... Ubbie... please come out and play with me. Nope... rats!
Ah ha... here's a sweet TSB Tabula drop to perk up my beach running mood:


Oh Ubie, won't you please come out and play with me. It would be such fun...
Ah, there you finally are. Come now, you really shouldn't be so shy:


Ring around the Ubie!... ring around the Ubie!
Ha ha, you missed me...

missed again...


Awe!!!... you died all too soon. UH is dead... long live UH!
Die you nasties! Go back to sleep forever.



88% crit... SWEET!


Also sweet is now my framerate is finally great after years of bad QoP (read here).

Let's see now: 4½ minutes to kill UH including a few of his Awakened minions. Pretty typical and routine for me.

My total haul from TSB runs:
Charan's Sword, Tabula Rasa, Bramblejack Plate Vest, Lochtonial Caress Iron Gauntlets, and a Last Resort Nailed Fist. Very good with only a 9% increased rarity helmet in zone 1.

Another challenge league and another Oni-Goroshi. So will this be good for Cycloning in Delirium? Is there a better build for it? I'm open to suggestions if I want to salvage something out of this league with the stay at home order in effect (Florida). Right now I just got PoD (Path of Diablo) up and running on my Windows 10 and ready for a 4 player trip down memory lane (my D2 install shows a September 25, 2003 date) with my 2 BFFL that we trio played D2 back then. Amazing that their daughter is the one asking if we can play D2 now and with PoD providing maximum window size for playing with lots of enhancements and a PoD server in Miami it should be loads of fun. And with none of the one-shot bullshit and clusterfuck fx (WTF!, I can't see what the hell is going on in this fog!).

Stay safe exiles.  :)
