where did his axe go? i dont see how this topic can be profin fact...is it just last hit because when i do it in full group seems be ok ..solo i have not done so much....but seems same amount 2-3 drops plus ...i try it solo a few runs...

I read this topic about two hours ago when I got to work and this has weighed on my mind since.

Everyone knows of the 'bug' that ppl were abusing Damage Return and getting a spike in drops / whites. Basically, ppl were slow playing kills and letting the mob kill itself (in say half a dozen to a dozen hits?). Realize I'm guessing here as I haven't played in 6months. However, couple this fact with one of an astute observation from our Mediator friend from Labby is making me draw some conclusions here.

What if Paul has a secret "Socialistic Hidden Identifier Trigger" Modification (S.H.I.T. Mod for short) which basically is a hidden Mod programmed into LS to IDENTIFY the NEWCOMERS and give them a better shot at getting nice drops (obviously they kill slower with crap gear and must hit the mob more to kill it) than that of the elite ppl who do sub 1hour MQs. Basically, the Drop % or ML % goes up with every hit done on the mob and is intended to help out those LS newcomers who may "Need" increased drops the most. I can't help but think this S.H.I.T. mod was inadvertently identified months ago and abused for personal profit. Paul may have since dialed back this S.H.I.T. mod as it's not as so easily identifiable, but it may still exist.

The fact that there is evidence that a S.H.I.T. mod may exist to better spread the LS wealth of the "Haves" & "Have-Nots" could also make a swing in pricing for gear too for ppl who are looking to capitalize on this fact. Think about it, what gear would you want to use to SAFELY kill w/o issue a little slower on Solo or group? EE & HM. Expect a price spike in this gear if you are able to find any. Understanding price trends is how you truly make fg in this game.

gl and lmk your thoughts.

SHIT mod rocks

I believe u may be correct about a possible SHIT mod. I took 2 years off and just got back recently. My first 10 or so climbs with feeder class i found some of the sexiest gear i ever found. Since i passed i might of found 500 fg worth the gear in the last 30 climbs... If its coincidence or not i found a hella lot more stuff on feeder class then i have on any other class.

pretty random imo

CONSPIRACY THEORIES!

I think this certainly is the case. When i use abilities to kill eps with my Warlock I am lucky if i get anything to drop at all. At first, i thought it was merely coincidence. But after many many times I am certain this does affect the drop frequency and quality.

Ive thought of something similar because it certainly does seem to be the case.

I think thats true what Stok3d said and many others before. I've done it with well at HC.
I tried to well 45/50lvl items @ 35lvl. More side drops and most of the items had like +5/+6.
Another thing, I try to finish EP with my stat charm doing a redicelous dmg

You dont have to be a scientist torealize how does it work.
