It's all fun and games until they appear during a timed mechanic. Never forget the Alt Qual Gem deletion, the Ex > Div swap and loss of various crafting methods. Revive Metamorph/Crucible. Refine Sentinel/Kalandra content. Bring back legacy modifiers/values. Where's my EShroud buff?	Posted by shardklaw#0080 on Jul 18, 2025, 9:23:45 AM Quote this Post

Sometimes there's that goon you just can't beat.
