The Rod is so important to pretty much all builds of SB that it should be an aspect. It is a bit of a catch 22. You need the Rod to get to higher level, but the Rod only drops in higher level.
I needed to buy a Rod this season to grow in power. Just a basic Rod but it pushed me 10x time in damages and versality. Just a suggestion. I do not know now if I am going to retry SB next season, but if the Rod stays as a unique item, I sure will buy one.
Spiritborn doesn’t need anything to get to a level where you can farm the Rod.
Have you tried temporarily using a build that doesn’t require the unique weapon or did you just try to plug and play a specialized endgame build?
You may want to read the latest patch notes for the PTR coming next week. They are nerfing the rod.
Rod of Kepeleke Unique Quarterstaff
- Ranks of Velocity replaced with Ranks of Vigorous.
- No longer reduces Core Skill damage dealt by up to 30%.
- Bonus Critical Strike Damage for each point of Vigor consumed reduced from 1-3% to .1-.5%.
it’s kind of sad that Blizz is doing so. they created thousands of gamers that were/are able to skip simple mechanics because of the builds associated with the new class and the Rod of Kep. that is never a good thing. hopefully the forced co-op doesn’t suffer too-too much and it will give the next OP meta a chance to carry people through it.
Of course Rod has to have an aspect named after him.
The rod has become flaccid is what I’m hearing
You are losing all the bonus crit damage multiplier. This is a colossal nerf for this.
will it be as limp as the glaive?
