Thanks!
I couldn’t even try my dual Wield Pit Master’s Axe Ultra Onslaught Bleed Machine of Death, but it’s ok it saves me from a long session of farm for the proper double rare affixes and suffixes on these axes anyway. :smile:

Nice one!

This was a great levelling axe! :disappointed_relieved:
I carried it for most of normal.

The nerf on onslaught was massive!

And what about the skillpoint? Is it the Dread quest?

Will there be a fix for Sahdina’s memento not spawning? I’ve leveled three characters(with merits, if it matters) and not once the Colossus in devil’s crossing triggered the message and amulets never appeared in my bags.

Hello, will multiplayer be fixed? We can’t play if I try to join a game that isn’t hosted on GOG. Since I bought the game on GOG and my friends host the game on Steam, it crashes. I just sent the crash report now.

If they ever touch the Dranghoul Bloodied Blade… I swear to god!

It only drops in ultimate. You cannot see the item, you just have to click where she was before she died. If you can’t find it, click around the dead monster that is where she used to be and it will show up in your inventory with a message.

Did the issue of items eligible for awakening already in the PC inventory before the expansion was released don’t show as being in inventory when viewed at the orb blacksmith, but when the same item drops the BS will show you have it?

went and tested, my bleed reaver does roughly 28-30% less damage :frowning:

hit from both the class side and the item side.

Why so hard on the Onslaught nerf? I just hit 100 for the first time last night playing bleed/onslaught Ring of Steel. Feels a lot worse now.
