Oni-Goroshi in Current League - are You gonna farm it or drop it?
|
Oh yeah I almost got him down. I am a loser and did all of this with marauders so its my fault to be fair. To many zombies, I actually had him like two hits away from death before I managed to get disconnected from the instance and it reset, so my hopes and dreams are gone on that one. Gonna need to keep going if I want it.
The zombies were the hardest part of that to be honest. If you are playing something that doesn't get an AoE gem at start it makes it a pain in the butt. Since Marauder gets heavy strike I had to use that. If I wasn't being stubborn and wanting to do shit my own way. I would have done the scion method. Which would have made it cake walk. To each his own. Edit: I should also add hitting him with Heavy Strike with the amount of zombies he had out, was also a crazy ordeal because of how hard he is to target. Edit 2: Don't forget to eat while doing this. I am a hungry boy now. Last edited by Airugarion on Dec 28, 2018, 11:36:49 PM

" This game is insane. I see Charan's explained there's a melee trick, more staying close to earth and not too lofty and kitey, eh? Good luck next time. " Couldn't agree more. " Can't comment on the objective merits of the writing, as I've never used the sword. Sometimes the most personal stufff is the most cringeworthy, but we're always way too harsh on ourselves. Give it another ten years and you might be less harsh on yourself. " Not what you're thinking of, but related - " " I think, oddly enough, you begat something with the - I don't know who did it, but my god, it's like Shakespeare and James Joyce had a baby and Dickens was the midwife. genius (n.) late 14c., "tutelary or moral spirit" who guides and governs an individual through life, from Latin genius "guardian deity or spirit which watches over each person from birth; spirit, incarnation; wit, talent;" also "prophetic skill; the male spirit of a gens," originally "generative power" (or "inborn nature"), from PIE *gen(e)-yo-, from root *gene- "give birth, beget," with derivatives referring to procreation and familial and tribal groups. Sense of "characteristic disposition" of a person is from 1580s. Meaning "person of natural intelligence or talent" and that of "exalted natural mental ability" are first recorded 1640s. It's not so much working in a vacuum as being right, as you say, unencumbered - so confident, clear, and creative that one rises above the sea of ideas and makes a mark. Some people take a lot of absorbing and reflecting to get there and some are just brilliant without so much exposure to others. Clarity is so important. Clarity of purpose, of expression, of spirit. Maybe it's about timing, too, but then maybe with the talk of rising above and marks I'm well into the sporting realm. Height helps too, if you're not quick.. | |

Regarding Hillock's zombie slam, it's also a reference to cruel and merciless hillock. They too had this ability (the map version still has it), but it was easy to deal with due to the amount of tools at the player's disposal and the fact that it's just hillock with a couple more levels.
I make dumb builds, therefore I am.

" my 2bits of knowledge : of the 14 Oni swords acquired (using one of each class at least once), I've had 3 characters take me to the Level 9 club [9.03,9.09,9.46]. I cleared ALL zombies (and opened all barrels/crates), as well as defeat Hillock. At level 9, I believe you get 1 XP per zombie. That was half of the previous level, which was half again of it's previous level, etc. I never made one to level 10 - question being : does PoE do fractional XP?

" I just found some old notes which I scribbled "10/5/2/1"...if it was truly 1/2 xp, there would be a 2.5 in there instead of 2....they must round down. and even at 9.46 - I still got it! :-) let those end game grinders "hope" for their loot - I know I'll get mine sooner or later...or much, much later...... | |
" Honestly, I cannot wrap my mind around why people farm this thing. Its like something designed solely to test human psychology. People say its for leveling, waste 2+ weeks farming it, when they could already be level 90. They could have run around and scrounged up enough currency to buy a Thief's Torment, which would allow them to basically sleep-walk through the entire game, and/or a Tabula Rasa, which would also allow them to afk through the entire game. Hell, even a couple rings with elreon's mod on it. And to top it off, its not even expensive. Its currently 1.8ex. Its a complete waste of time to farm it. SSF I understand, if you just have to have it. Outside that, I have to question people's sanity for grinding this thing for 2-3 weeks. Its like Charan wanted to pray on people's OCD and mental behaviors. Job well done I say. |

" I do feel like they kinda cheapened it with divination cards, personally. It should have just stayed like it was so people actually were rewarded for that kind of grind. And yea I mean prey, lol. |

" That's the only reason I could imagine that sword being that cheap. Unless bots just churn them out, which could be another, but I'll try to have a positive outlook about the reason for it. And I just dont like divination cards for something like that because while I dont understand the grind, I at least respect it, and something like that should stay for people who made the effort. To me, divination cards sorta short-change it. Last edited by Destructodave on Dec 29, 2018, 11:08:36 PM

" Ah, that's cool then if that's how you wanted it. And obviously, I didn't know extra came with it if you actually found it. I generally play similar builds every league and an Oni-goroshi build never crossed my mind. I also always thought it would be more expensive, too. I can't see people who actually farmed for it wanting to trade it, but I might be wrong. If I ever farmed it on my own, it would just sit in my stash before I traded it off. |

If you did nothing else, working a full 12 hour day, you could probably make a decent sword in 2 days if you know what you're doing. This depends on the style of sword and the method you're using to make it, but generally most steel swords are made by hammer and grind, heating and folding, or the more advanced technique of splitting into vortices; plaiting and welding. The latter method puts a natural fuller into the blade and was the common technique from 6th century onwards in western Europe.
'Course there's Japanese versions, but that had the all-important grind word in it. Apt, or something. " Yes, remember when he was the Shore Boss, and up a sand gully? He seems kind of weak in the Dunes. I still don't remember THAT many zombies as in the picture in the thread. That ... only time I've seen that type of thing is in a Haku mission where endless necromancers spawned one time, and made it undoable, if hilarious for a short time. I guess they fixed that. |
