I am not sure whether you meant these Gut Series.

Just to be clear you can now get shoulder from Obsidian Swordman after the update or from Rinn Valgoth? Sorry for being so persistent but i donāt wanna farm another day for nothing like yesterday.
Where do you get those from?
I know you can get Gutwrencherās effigy from the boss at the end of the void dungeon thatās at the rightmost corner of the dread waste. I got 2 of them trying to farm the obsidian knight set because I assumed the pieces also dropped from the 2 bosses where you get the quest items.
Donāt know, there was an update pushed but I got my shoulders from rinn before it hit

Shoulders cannot currently drop. They used to drop from the wrong boss, and in the current playtest build, the loot table for the swordsman has an incorrect reference to the shoulder table.
Also, godbless the helm having fire strike wep dmg instead of the thermite mines phys reduction - I might be blind but I really couldnāt find fire strike mods for other slots when trying to make a complete build for this set so having some fire strike damage rolled right into the helm is nice.
I assembled it last night and honestly it seems pretty solid so far, I havenāt put the character up to anything challenging yet because my OA and DA are a mess but once I get my last mods rolled this seems good.

I have my Shieldbreaker ready to go, all i needed was the shoulders. It would have been fair to let the shoulders still drop from Rinn (didnāt hurt anybody) until there is a real fix. The last update itās useless in my opinion. Now those like me who only have 3 pieces they are stuck, all this time i invested and now itās all for nothing. At least it is good to know so i donāt waste anymore time but like i said, useless last update. Just leave it as it was until you come with a real fix. This is just my honest opinion.
Sounds like you need to stay off test patches.

Donāt need to be like that. I just donāt understand what harm it would have been to let it as it was until a real fix would come up. For me that makes sense. After this iāll stay far from test patches, hope it will brighten your day. This is my last post. I donāt want to go into some kind of beef with anyone here, i just said my honest opinion, if that bothers you or anybody else thereās nothing i can do about it. Cheers!
just farmed my last piece.

Branded set is very strong for Shieldbreaker. Those helmet and weapon have huge mods. If Shattering Smash receives a buff after the full double hit fix, the set might need a reduction to FS or SS mods.
The Berserker side looks interesting but maybe a little underwhelming for now.
Not really sure what to make of the Igirronās set yet. Infinite Resilience is a cool idea, but idk how to make this set deal enough dmg. Set bonuses in particular are very low.

I put together the Berserker side as a Dreadnaught, itās not nearly as strong as the Shieldbreaker unfortunately, but I will say it does have a funny combat loop. Your character looks weird as hell using your auto attacks to reduce leap cooldown and spamming leap lmfao.
I was going to try it with zealot for the infinite resilience, not sure if Iām shooting myself in the foot though - runekeeper would have more chaos rr, I like the idea of trying to scale both the bleed and the chaos on zealot but I have no idea how it would be done, particularly with devos since chaos and bleed share virtually nothing there.
I have put together a Zealot and a Shieldbreaker with the full set. Zealot feels very fun with Onslaught-SS-fueled Leap, but Shieldbreaker simply outperforms it in terms of damage and tankiness for much less effort. If the Zealot was stronger/tankier, I would prefer its gameplay. That being said Iām very much not optimised.
I can confirm Branded Guard is now dropping from Swordman after last update for those who are still missing it.
Iām trying to farm the amulet for the igirron set but having zero luck, was going to try it on a zealot to see how it felt. Has anyone managed to get the amulet drop natty from a resplendent trove?
My total drop count is of course still within the margin for rng but dang:
Iām also wondering if skeleton keys are currently working at the ascension altar on the playtest, low sample size I guess but I did two game-wide runs going through every area that has trove spawns and Iām finding a ton of troves, its not like the troves are missing - but they are almost never resplendent even with 5x altar mods. Iāve found most of these igirron pieces by doing reset runs where Iām either running a route in gloomwald crossing, chaos tears or both. The game-wide farm runs with 5 altar gave me virtually nothing back compared to these 0 altar reset runs.
For clarity, I was checking every possible trove spawn that currently exists on the grimtools world map in those game-wide runs.
I think I have to admit defeat on this one and try this later, Iāve spent at least 120 dynamite opening these things.
Anecdotal, but I have only had helm + guns as well. That said, people have been discussing the full set, so Iām going to assume itās been dropping for folks.
Personally I do the opposite and always assume that people GD Stash the parts immediately after the patch drops and donāt farm for it.
If the amulet hasnāt dropped in that many troves and you have all those other pieces, I would start to think it may not be in the drop tables correctly.
