I have question about Drillneck.

I didn't do Cruel lab yet, so I using Pierce gem for now. It gives 50% chance for pierce. From skill nodes I have another 40%. Thats 90%. From Drillneck implicit bonus I have 10%, so should have 100%. But skill description only says 90%.

So, is it only visual bug and its 100%, or maybe I should take two additional pierce nodes to get 100%?

Are you looking at the character sheet (C) under the Offense tab, or the tooltip on Frenzy at the bottom right?

hey all :) back from the lab-running.

lab thoughts:

this was really exhausting. I can normally play all day if it is for maps or levelling, but the labs were tiresome. the last 1 - 1.2 weeks I exclusively did Zana rota (which takes anywhere between 10 - 30 minutes) and then ran lab in merci. I helped some guys get points, which made a handful of runs slower, else I could achieve a 6-7 minute average.

I ran so many merciless labs (on days with 1 or no golden door), that I wouldn't step foot in there again. was close to give up and stay at 39/40 since I couldn't, made a day-break and when I helped the next guy to ascend I got my trap enchant, finally, after getting all the others multiple times (totem, curse, aura etc.).

to give you an impression, from cadiro loot (+ chests) alone I filled around 20 stashes of 'good' bases (3x1, 2x2, 3x2), and around 3 or so with ammys and rings only. didn't do the chaos recipe yet, will sort through at some point.

lab essentials (unsorted):

Spoiler

blood rage

cloud dps around 21k with charges, using wither totem but sadly no vaal light trap (new area guts it)
layout from reddit (daily, stickied thread)
if you don't know for sure, top-right corner is a good bet in most cases.
don't bother killing stuff unless you need charges for your flasks
good flasks

the build was extremely fine for this, yet the rng-wheel didn't please me. We are used to RNG, but those enchantments were a new level. I hope they do learn from our feedback.

sales were stale since week 1.5, no biggies since everyone was just cadiro and guardians. I made more currency on challenges, chests and guardians than selling gear. imagine that.

I was lucky enough to find many zanas myself, somehow she appeared to be there more often than I'm used to.

let me know if you need some stuff, will post about some free deals once this week.

Serleth, I bow in honor =)

RE: Safe to do lab
some modifiers give the Emperor immense power. like the crit (ice) golem, or the charges. he can oneshot )(my 4.6k hp) with at least 3 abilities when he's in shape:
- glacial cascade thingy (physical)
- the shot where he first turns and 'blows' air towards you
- the green artillery-like stuff
- the slam (similar to dominus' or malachai's), tho I never move in melee range with this guy

Amen, brother. The enchant challenge was the worst by far! And I have to agree on the sales. Very slow this league. I'm not a huge fan of the whole coins-cadiro stuff. wouldn't be a huge loss if that was voided.

Hey, for those of you that have completed the Perandus Chests Challenge... I'm still missing the Archive. Anyone recall where you found that one? Does it only spawn on t12+ maps or some such?

Nope, I found one in Docks when I was doing some frag farming. Just needs to be in a 60+ zone.
