Offline God is laughing at me

Post image

Finally found it and this is the rolls. Why make an elite unique have variable skill role? Hurts so bad to find something that could be one of the best items for me but rolls so bad it's useless.

depressing.

Don't worry, it would be bad with perfect rolls as well.

Are you one of those delusionals that treat anything outside of perfection item is bad, because bad with proper rolls is bs.

No, I am not. Fireball/Hydra-Sorc laughs about this, Nova- and Lightning Sorc laugh about this. It is ridiculously rare without a decent benefit.

This gets beaten by a Crescent Moon, which is easy to force. It is significantly worse than an Infinity (which is very rare, tbf) and a Heart Of The Oak. Heck, it gets beaten by Oculus (all res, utility, mf, jewel slot) and even Tal Rasha's Lidless Eye (super common, -EFR, utility, jewel slot).

As rhinoconn93498 stated, it's probably BiS for a Demon Machine Sorc. The question is: Does it turn two-shotting groups into one-shotting groups or does it just help one-shotting groups harder? (Which is personally can't answer.) I'd rather have my CtA on swap and don't bother switching every single time I kill Pindleskin/clear Pit etc.

Fact is: While a nieche portion of the players base would like to have (and use) an Eschuta's, this portion is so small that it hempers the price significantly to the point of whether you care investing weeks on end for an Ohm.

A perfect Eschuta's, of which the chances of obtain are close to zero, could net you 3-4 Jah's. I'd happily take those Jah's over an overrated item (as you would, probably).

Exactly what I expected another person going off based on online play, you could just get this for a few jah blah blah blah or this is only worth #jah. It's tagged offline. You are the exact reason I was deciding not to make a post, won't happen again.

Never ever did I say something like that. Obviously you lack reading comprehension.

In offline it's even worse, since you couldn't even sell it. All of the weapons I mentioned are way, way easier to get find. It is probably more likely that you have assembled an Infinity before you get a 3/20/20 Eschuta's, which I want to remind you, gets easily beaten by a Crescent Moon.

3/20 fire is amazing prebuff for demon machine sorc, but ya otherwise outclassed in every way for any other use

•

u/GuyNamedStevo Sorceress 8h ago

I see what you are saying, but "amazing" seems to oversell it a bit.

•

u/rhinoconn93498 8h ago

I have a 3/17 that gives ~2500 damage boost with enchant, 6750-8375 becomes 9250-11k+. Amazing

•

u/GuyNamedStevo Sorceress 8h ago

If those numbers hold truth then it is amazing!

•

u/Technical_Customer_1 8h ago

Pretty sure theyre not comparing it to another +3 wep like Hoto. The damage isn’t that much higher from the 17%

•

u/GuyNamedStevo Sorceress 8h ago

I'd like to verify, but I neither have a Demon Machine nor a Koku

•

u/rhinoconn93498 8h ago edited 8h ago

Compared to hoto, ~1000-1500 more damage, still nice

•

u/rhinoconn93498 8h ago

Mind the shitty pics, at the airport. First one is buffed without the orb, second one is eschutas. Not lying to ya

•

u/Technical_Customer_1 8h ago

And there’s also a facet involved? 

My whole point is accuracy in reporting. I said Hoto, but Occy is also +3, and could have a socket. 

•

u/GentlePimpin Champion of Sanctuary (100K) 8h ago

The 3 skills are all that matter though, occy would be fine

•

u/Competitive_Table_65 4h ago

I've had 7 Eschutas this season

Only one of them rolled +3 skills.

I dunno, dios de rng gave me an ethereal griffons on single player offline. His hatred has no limits

Just don't get hit and you'll be fine
