Yoke of Suffering Isn't Worth 5ex+

Newsflash, but this amulet's value is currently being drastically inflated due to a mixture of ignorance, build popularity, & a decreased drop rate. What was once a ~25c amulet & placeholder for Elemental Hit builds before they could afford Xoph's Blood is now being sold on the low end for even more than Xoph's is.

Here's why Xoph's is better for endgame: the shock from Yoke, which is the amulet's bread & butter, effectivelyWill Not apply to bosses like Shaper & Uber Elder, making Yoke nothing more than an overrated resist amulet with what is effectively a 5% ADDITIVE damage modifier for end-game bossing. Xoph's, however, not only gives you 10% increased life, 10% fire penetration, & Ash debuff, but also frees up to a minimum of 3 skill points in your tree (depending on your build) through Avatar of Fire.

Stop wasting your exalts on an overrated mapping amulet.

wow the ignorance is real. the shock is btw secondary. the last line is important and will give elemental hit builds more dmg then xophs could ever give.

and why do you whine? you need one?

LOL 1 alch amulet now cost 5 ex. Nerf of drop rate from Guardians is real.

This is just plain inaccurate.

Without the shock on Yoke, Xoph's native stats combined with the extra skill points give it a clear edge over Yoke in end-game bossing. This is actually old news, & it's why Yoke was a ~25c amulet since it's release before it's drop rate was nerfed— because Xoph's always was BIS for Elemental Hit builds as they pertained to end-game bossing.

You seem angry over nothing. Perhaps you fell for the Yoke noob trap & now you're lashing out?

A decrease in supply of Yoke doesn't fully explain why it's slightly more expensive than Xoph's on the low end. Nothing has changed about the amulet other than it's drop rate— it's still not BIS for end-game bossing on Elemental Hit builds.

Again, Yoke is a noob trap. It simply does not possess the qualities needed to justify it's current market value.

Then don't buy it for 5 ex.

I'm not even interested in the amulet. This post is more or less a warning to new players who are being taken advantage of.

Lol. Whatever you say.

OP stop spreading misinformation. Xoph's is absolute trash compared to Yoke.

Lol, I just looked at your build. You're a fucking RAT build. That's not even a real ele hit build for god's sake.
