Isn’t it a little ridiculous that every other stat type gets best in slot jewelry and armor from dungeons while INT users are forced to craft everything still? But theres no quick easy fix like just buy full voidbent either. For some reason we’re the only stat type without their own voidbent set. I guess we were just an afterthought. But the things that we DO get from dungeons are not even best in slot, you can only hope for near bis with a questionable 3rd perk. Firevine and winter’s wish are basically the only thing you can reasonably hope for from dungeons and they are nowhere near the level of other weapons from the same expedition. Take infamy or javelin of dryadic empowerment,lazarus bow, or fury for example they actually get 3 hard BIS perks like keen vicious enchanted. Sorry but giving us chain ice and refreshing as a 3rd perk does not even come close. Literally need a legendary in every slot though to even begin to progress. My 598 jewelry with 2 BIS perks is now worthless and that will no longer suffice as a mage. No i need to spend 100k extra to get a 3rd perk thats worthless because it has the right magic number on it. And since i’m stuck at mutation 3 tops because not every single slot is 600 and i don’t have a viable way of upgrading the stuff i need those 2 item levels. Literally it made more sense to buy full heavy voidbent and just pick up a brand new spec with weapons i had never even bothered to level yet because I got smooth bone ring, doom’s chance earrings and a fury and woodswarden so far. Ontop of that mutations will have elemental resist which is further exacerbated by every single dungeon mobs already hard resist atleast 1 of our availible elements and it just seems not even worth it to take seriously and grind for. This seems so stupid and terrible game design. Either have hundreds of thousands to spend as mage or don’t bother at all while everyone else is farming their welfare bis without a care in the world.
I was just talking about this.
Foc.
Also, don’t care. Currently spear/hatchet, but played mage for mot of my hours. In general, mages are strong as hell, even without BIS jewelery, or a voidbent set. Not that it means that you shouldn’t have these things, but mages are doing just fine.
Also, part of this post seems like you’re just complaining that you main VG and you don’t like this mutation because everything is resistant to void. Put a lightning gem in it. So far there are only fire and void elemental mutations. You’ll be ok.
Upgrade your 598 jewelry to 600.
That would be great if it didn’t cost 225 shards. When you’re stuck in m3 thats a tall order to do
Is it worth spending 250 x 3 (depending on if you have any 600GS jewelry at all) just to get +1 stat and be behind by +10 levels in every legendary you own?
Seems like a waste of resources to me
Ok so i had a lightning gem in my VG which had ancient bane keen and plagued crits yesterday. In this m3 the 2nd miniboss was paranoid/oblivion and was void resist. We legit had 46 deaths trying to kill him. The self healing he had was unreal and was constantly running around buying him time to regen. Even running double disease with a lightning gem in my VG we sill spend 20 mins legit trying to kill him it was actually kinda funny but no you cant just slap a lightning gem in and everything is ok.
My group of 2 dps, 2 healers with vg, and a tank can pretty easily gold m5. I think that with 46 deaths, your group has more issues than void resistance…
on our server we boost people thru Mutators if they cant past that treshold from m3 to m6 and even from enemy factions…
We are trying to speed up the process of this nonsense grind so ppl are back to OPR 
I mean that was the only actual part we struggled on. It was just the perfect storm of mutators and we were not all perfectly 606 gs but everything else went smooth.
Yo i’d play opr if someone gave me a boost to m6 so i can get the shards i needed finally and be done with it for now. Bless your soul thats a very nice thing to do.
Ancients are literally weak to void damage… what are you saying?
the mutator modifier gives them resistance to void damage, foo
it’s fire resistance?
Different servers have different mutation modifiers apparently. it’s void on mine.
fair enough
we do it like a whole week, all day long
Is it different on different servers?
For us everything with Eternal gives the enemy monsters Void damage and Void resistance.
While it may not be worth it now, it’s the same as going from 614-616 - so once you get there, it won’t be a problem to improve your 598 gear.
None of this of course, is meant discredit you needing better mage drops.
yea its different on our server, we have eternal fire and all that stuff rn
