Tirakai's Maul dropping almost every game.

#1 Post by Dougiegee »

I have had this Maul drop on L1 of the new demon starter zone in 4 games out of 5 and it seems pretty much everyone in chat has this item.
I'm assuming this is a bug as it is far too good to be an almost guaranteed drop.

I believe there was a similar bug with Tooth of the Mouth a little while back, so the solution may be there.

My question, though, is why Tirakai's Maul is so good. I've gotten it a few times on classes that use two handed weapons, and it was always outlcassed in short order. I invariably found higher tier weapons than gems, and by the time I was able to socket the next level up of gem, I had found a significantly better randart or ego weapon.
I'm not crying. I'm offering a sacrifice to DarkGod in hopes he'll show favor to me.

It hasn't worked yet.

The bonuses from tier 3 or 4 gems are pretty amazing. I had a tier 4 fire gem stuck in mine on my doombringer and the huge stat boosts and fire damage boost made up for the base damage not being that high. I found it good enough to use right through to the east.

It has a low rarity and wide drop range.
My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.

It WOULD be a really great weapon if it didn't for some reason (bug?) lose its Weapon Mastery after you imbue it with a gem. As for the rarity, I've had it on both of my last 2 characters (after coming back from a rather long break) and my friend also got it on his latest character so anecdotally at least it does seem super common.

The Weapon mastery is supposedly fixed in version 1.3, or so I've heard. Someone can confirm this?

When trying to get my feet with the doombringer, I found it in the starting area 4 out of 5 times.

Same here, and if I didn't, I would not have made it out of the starting area.
