btw, would like other gamblers' take on this.

I've noticed that now, the circlets/coronets no longer downgrade to circlets permanently at gheed's. They used to just downgrade to Circlets and stay there until you refreshed.
The rolls are much better post-patch overall if you spam buy, compared to before, and i can't quite make sense of it. I find a lot more +skills alongside level-appropriate rolls, etc.

It's as though spam buying the same item in the store used to downgrade that particular slot forever, and rerolled from that new point instead of rolling from your character level. So if you rolled a circlet that was cLvl - 3, it would just buy a new cLvl -3, etc, and now they've fixed it?

Anyone can corroborate this?


I feel like they shadow tweaked gambling circ several time since d2r is out but yea indeed this is much better right now than the previous version.

Maybe you remember this but in the first two month you could just start on coronet and easily get 15+ of them in a row without any up or downgrade

Not sure about the second part, it's hard to tell with d2 rng but i stopped to refresh while gambling since several months and i feel my circlet roll are awful somehow, very few were sellable.

Macrobioboi made a video on exactly that. You can manipulate the gambling screen to always get the headpiece type you want.

Right. That stopped happening now, to an extent? I think I see more Coronets than I used to.

I hereby declare defeat.
A5 Merc is a lost cause... for now.

Maybe one day. Maybe with Axes so you can jam Beast on them, who knows.

Do you think the problem would be solved by not having the autocast battlecry? Would be cool in general if they somehow let you selectively disable castable spells for all mercs

Not sure I experienced this before. I typically gamble from the same spot and never remembering having a coronet downgrade to a circlet permanently? It's been a while since i've played frequently though.

However, I do notice NOW that when it does downgrade to a circlet, it seems to always upgrade to a coronet after 1 gamble.

He just auto-Taunts, which sucks, yeah.
At the same time, he's just not bursting hard enough for Trav, I think. Mobs keep running around.

If he at least AoE-taunted PERMANENTLY and the council wasn't running around like a headless chicken after the fact, I could live without Amp.

Tried the build on solo player p1. Merc got smashed instantly (perf stuff). I did more than a thousand recorded runs on multi with reaper’s and forti, without having even to move, runs taking at most 1 min. Seems problematic, I don’t understand if this is simply an experiment to see those who follow or if I’m doing something wrong.
