Biggest fail drops

2nd time
100% Scrolls on TZ

Duriel

Hello forum,

a tough day in

Secret Cow Level in NM mode some time ago. Had

The Cow King finished by merc, stood nicely aside with

Gull Rhyme.

The sucker dropped me 2 (two!)

Cathan's Mesh.

Today after killing hell

Baal, ethereal

Ribcracker 206% Ed...

This is my fourth character to clear the game. My first was a Fury druid... I've been looking for

Ribcracker since normal D

I think you killed

Baal's twin brother - ball, which is why his drop so low.

That would explain everything.

On PC I've got a bloody

Ribcracker that's non

Eth that deals more damage than this thing ever could. I mean if it was 250%+ I would slap a

Zod in it. As it stands this thing is just kinda depressing.

Ethereal multiply the base weapon damage by 1.5 (it is not the same as a +50% ed affix...)
The worst ethereal

Ribcracker will deal more damage than a perfect non-ethereal

Ribcracker.

A +200% ed ethereal (which is the minimum) would be equivalent to a +350% ed non-ethereal (which it more than the maximum +300% ed...)
And a +300% ed ethereal (which is the maximum) would be equivalent to a +500% ed non-ethereal.

Non ethereal means you have a free socket (ias/ed jewel, ed/max dmg jewel, etc)
For ethereal, you have to

Zod it.

Yep
But unless you are not seeking "most overall damage" (for example, you want to reach some IAS breakpoint or want more Crushing Blow), the non-ethereal hardly will be better.
(a 200% ed ethereal is already equivalent to a 300% ed non-ethereal with a

Ohm)

Does 11/10/5 Anni count? Waiting two hours for clone for this

Yeah, I had been thinking on that all this morning, sadly 206% is nowhere near enough to drop a

Zod. And my druid is rocking a triple immortals with

Immortal King's Stone Crusher anyway. Even a perfect

Ribcracker would have been a step down at this point. (Probably).

(More like a side grade than a step down honestly)

Here's my fun addition!

After work today, I sat down for some great drops! First off, I've had a WTB for

Arachnid Mesh sitting for a few days with no luck, so imagine my excitement when Diablo dropped me an ETHEREAL 111% ED!

Afterwards, to add insult to injury, D Clone invaded my

Baal run to drop me a 10/10/7

Annihilus.

Words cannot describe how happy I am with the Lord of

Terror for his generosity today.

I don't know ifnits terrible or not, but I snatched up a +3 telekenesis

Ormus robes with +15% to fire damage. I'm no expert on

Ormus robes but it felt terrible to me.

I respect your choice, but AFAIK that is hardly true. Have you ever compared them, at least on paper? On maxroll for example?

That druid steamrolls pretty much everything. Mind you if it were at or near the 300% if can potentially get it would be an easy decision to

Zod.

As it stands, there just isn't a reason to do it.

With my bloody luck, two days after I drop a

Zod and up it another will drop at 299%Ed 700ish damage...

gg you found it mate. That's another one off the list, now for the 10/10/5 anni (unless you already got that too).

I gave the anni to

Charsi for a small change. This torch would follow unless someone wants it (free).
