+5 minions on scepter have weight of 100 and requires 81 ilvl.
at ilvl 81-82 there are 42125 weights total.
=> chance of getting +5 minions is ~0.237%, or 1 of ~421 suffixes.

for preffixes there are 8 tiers of +spirit and some of +spirit+mana combinated preffixes.
Hitting both of them is very unrealistic. Preffixes have 37250 total weights.
t8 (61-65%) weight is 150;
t7 (56-60%) weight is 250;
t6 (51-55%) weight is 350;
So hitting one of those (51-65%) is 750/37250 = ~2%.

Hitting both with trans+aug is 421.25*37250/750 = 1 of 20922 times, ie ~0.0048%.
With all 6 affixes (regal+3exalts or alchemy+exalts or pure drop) - it will be higher for sure. ~9x times (if i didnt reallly mistake) = ~0.043% (1 of 2324 times).

=> it's impossible in ssf.
Yet in trade where thousands of players drop thousands of 82ilvl scwepters - it's possible to get few for 500+ divines.

I totally skip extras as hunting for any other affixes as specific auras/attributes or double spirit+mana.

Crafting sux, as there no +minion or +spirit essenses/omens/anything.
For amulets it's even more worse.

(tip for mages: maigc amulet with +castspeed and +spelldamage can be essensed +caster modifier for 100% +all spells. Lucky guys those sparkmages)


Absolute feels. Give or take close to 10mil gambled. Exactly 1 scepter was salvagable(read bad, but at least playable) No idea why minion builds need to be shackled so absurdly. Mid tier scepter with 4 reasonable mods are like 20divs+

Not mirror tier, not best. It has budget stats and yet costs more then rare uniques.
Thank you for this post, We need more attention on stuff like this... Please don't leave the game in this state GGG, even if you don't want to add full blown "crafting" to the game in the sense that some people seem offended when you call it "crafting" instead of "Gambling" at LEAST please add the ability to make the odds better in our favor during this "Gamble"

Or screw it, just add decent crafting!!


People say all the time "Most arpgs don't have crafting!" Well for 1 thats just un-true

But secondly, PoE2 GGG crew wants to be different and stick out from the competition, right???? THEN ADD SOME GOOD CRAFTING!!

PLEASE!!



P.S , I'm currently on the hunt for a decent version of the exact +5 minion staff that OP Suggests , and just count myself lucky that I am a trade league player and not a masochist SSF player.
