I wanted to try a build I made with those weapons, but I found that I don’t have any. So I started farming Herald of the Flame, right? “Aetherfire … of Alacrity” is all I had in mind. I figured it won’t take me long since it’s a single rare and “of Alacrity” is pretty common. Hoo boy was I wrong.
I did like ~200 runs in the past week and got all kinds of stuff, but “Aetherfire” prefix. It didn’t drop even a single time. I got like 15 of “Essence Drinker’s … of the Aether”, though! Which is strange, because item is called “BLAZE Herald”, not “Sucky-suck Herald”. Got quite a few “Wraithbound” and “of Bestial Rage/Caged Souls” as well, which is even more weird.
I can understand not getting Alkamos rings, or Nightbringer, Worldeater, etc., but geez, not getting an affix that’s literaly the first thing that comes to mind when you read “Blaze Herald”?
Maybe if I bitch here on the forum it will drop. Happened a bunch of times already to different guys. But I’m wondering if there’s some issue with the item and its affix pool?
