Oni-Goroshi drop rate is ridiculous.

Should have said 'hard to get' instead, my bad.

I thought i had the passion to play poe but people who farm oni goroshi, i salute you. You crazy crazy bastards!

I have come to regard the sword, Oni-Goroshi, as metaphor in respect of the current state of the game. It is something that is extra boring to obtain, mainly for Players that find themselves bored with the regular content. I'm still undecided if the Card is overkill, or if it is sublime.

Well at least i got 90% crit chance for those 956 Hillock kills :)

I will never understand why people would do this

Stomping the sandy beach is kind of a fun zen meditation thing. It also works well with a few Bourbon and sodas.

It is fun to farm an Oni and then create a new character and play it all the way through all 10 acts. The Oni comments are the most fun I've had leveling up a character in the game.

i actually did, but I also wanted Uber Hillock to spawn *at all levels*. I'm fairly convinced Uber Hillock won't even spawn until you're level 5. I mean, he'd eat your face off at levels 1-4 so I kind of get it...

This would have been a far superior design decision, not least because it would add tension to those first few hours of boring grind, without actually increasing the number of Oni swords in the market, since 95%+ of players wouldn't manage to kill him at that level anyhow.

Oh GGG design people, don't you ever think anything through?

I farmed an Oni myself shortly after it got the 10-act rework, and I have to say it was a dogshit experience with an anticlimactic ending (Hillock was a pushover by the time I got to him at lvl 9). I wrote a thread in my head (I had plenty of time) describing exactly why this particular setup was problematic from a design point of view, but I never bothered writing it up or posting it, for the same reason I no longer bother posting about most of the design problems I encounter in this game: "Why the fuck bother?"

I have been a big fan of Oni-Goroshi builds for a while now, early game 6-link item that can carry you through the endgame? Yes please. But farming it since 3.2.0 has been a pain in the ass.

Hear Hear (or Here Here).

I too like this item. It's been pushed out of reach of ordinary citizens.

It's 4exalt at the moment, at the back of a league.

I've picked up one exalt this league. Trade has broken the game. SSF is a good way to go but drop rates are set for trading economy.

Looking at the challenges for a league, GGG seem to be only marketing to top tier players. I don't want to be a top tier player. I still want to access to items though.
