4+ hours later, i’ve done 5-6 full lootruns of the nesaak/ice regions and llevigar plains, and i still haven’t found a giant’s bracer for my build. at this point i’m really pissed off, i’ve gotten 10+ legendaries which were all wrong (including reminiscence and precious, items i love but were useless for this playthrough). i also got trolled 5 times by boxes that could’ve been sow thistle but weren’t.
i got the sow thistle after a while, but this evening i still hadn’t gotten giant’s bracer and decided to log on for a final lootrun for it. if i didn’t, i’d just move on without it and probably beat my head against a wall in prison of souls.
the first cave i looted this time, a mob of all things dropped a giant’s bracer and i immediately get hit with a dopamine rush. i rush back to nesaak to identify it, and get hit with a 35% main attack dmg roll. i reroll it and this time i get 28% main attack. i’m annoyed, but i said screw it and rerolled it once more for a whole le only to get 35% main attack.
at this point i’m more frustrated than ever. i complain about my luck in the wynn discord, but after a few minutes i decide to keep lootrunning since i never even opened a chest on that final run.
this time, the very first chest i open i get another giant’s bracer. i’m VERY hesitantly cautious now, but i run back over to nesaak and identify it with the discord cheering me on. i rolled 78% overall with 85% main attack damage. holy ****.
this is a moment i probably will never forget. never in my life has a game given me such an emotional rollercoaster in a single day, let alone a few minutes. also i beat my next prison of souls run. it wouldve been hilarious had i dropped marius but i didnt and thats ok
this was absolutely unbelievable to live through and probably unbelievable to read, so here’s an imgur collection to prove that i am not schizophrenic: https://imgur.com/a/YmJU6eN
