Are the Devs love the Arcanist?

I am wondering if the Devs love the Arcanist mastery the most. About 80% of the epic and legendary items I find push skills from the Arcanist skill tree. Is Lord rng just kidding me or does anyone else have the same experience? I would love the crazy amounts of Arcanist items if just would like this mastery, but I don’t for some reason.

It’s Lord RNG’s fault. If anything I get more Necromancer items than any others. And I just wish a few more would drop with skills I actually use. I’m sick of seeing Drain Essence, Olexa’s Flash Freeze and Devouring Swarm on most of it. :frowning: But then Lord RNG has never liked me much. I’m still waiting for a pair of Batrachos Greaves to drop for me in TQIT/AE - and that’s in 10 years of playing. :cry:

Don’t worry. I always get THE FINAL MARCH. I sometimes call the game “The Dawn of Final March”.

Yes, it’s Zantai’s favorite mastery, so he made the loot drop rate biased towards Arcanist. :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s just RNG.

I knew it. Damn Devs :rolleyes:

Well when you take into consideration the ones like AAR and OFF (thinking end game) don´t really know…

Fun fact - Arcanist and Occultist have the most of +1 blue items for leveling. I wonder if that’s a result of weaken state of these masteries in early beta?

Arcanist wasn’t released until 2014 of Early Access. Nightblade came well before that, and the initial three of Soldier/Demo/Occultist predate even that. Shaman was in 2015, if you’re curious. As it happens, the Shaman update also had the best idea ever…

Curse of Frailty: added Energy Leech

Do you guys remember the old reckless power?

Yeah, -50% HP in exchange of +%50 aether dmg :smiley: Best skill ever. And old devastation that required ¬5k energy at 20/16 to launch 3 waves :smiley: The only skill I miss from b21 is AAR - RIP AAR :o

lol, did that really happen? Sounds like the worst possible exchange for some puny aether damage.

And it was a temporally “buff” with, like, 450 second cooldown :smiley: lol

IIRC Reckless power also had a transmuter :rolleyes:

I miss having the ice wall and using it to trap the warden ;(

Fun times.

RNG loves to give you whatever you do not need in abundance.

check out Zantai’s avatar and tell me it’s not a guy under Reckless Powah!:rolleyes:

Think again.

Here’s the very first look we had at the Occultist in action.
