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.
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?
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…
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.
Which would get you all the way to M6 at a 614GS average. Which places you past the halfway mark before those expensive upgrades kick in.
Where if someone has all 595 gear and they want to run mutations, they would be stuck in say M2 for what 60x6 runs to complete 1 upgrade just to 595-600. Knocking a run or two off if they are closer to 599. That is a lot of wasted umbral on an item that will never be great, just good. After spending 300 Umbral on an Epic, it will be bitter sweet when the next run drops you a Legendary for that slot.
Naturally in those runs they might find a weapon or some jewelry, armor since it is so RNG heavy likely you won’t get what your looking for, but possibly could get something “good enough”.
All i’m saying is the 595-599 stop gap is a huge hurdle that does nothing but salvage every epic in the game aside from a very… very… select few.
