I would like to mention Blaze Herald knownly used by Nightblade variants to play DW melee Aether. What is the problem with it? Nothing, except farming it. It definitely comes with non-melee and non-aether affixes almost 9/10 times.
I had tried Aether Reaper with this weapon combined with Theodin Marcell scepter quite time ago and I remember that I highlighted it as very hard to get melee/related affixes. I presume you fixed some things about Theodin Marcell because I recently started farming these two again and I get some good(non-double rares but usable enough) affixes on it.(Maybe I just get lucky)
Yet Blaze Herald persists dropping unrelated stupid affixes like occultist of venomclaw or inquisitor of wildfire(I know there is fire damage on it but it’s just theme). And this one is Dagger so getting attack speed and aether related affixes shouldn’t be that hard.
People usually GDstash these things so no one really whines about it except me but I think this should be done;
Check this for example, there is no possible way this player get this roll by trading because even if a legit player get it by luck, definitely keeps it for future purposes. Same goes for Blaze Herald. But I’m sure he can settle for Warped/of Shattered Reality or Aetherfire/of Alacrity just as I will.
m not saying it should be double-rare on every 10 try; but best I get so far is Magestorm/of Alacrity on this with more than 50 tries and never saw a warped/alacrity which should be dropping like candies like Derma Slicer.
