The Blessings in Last Epoch are great buffs, however, the grind to obtain a high decent roll can easily become the most miserable experience for those who aren’t lucky enough to roll it or even see the blessing once after 14 boss kills. This system has become the thing I dread the most when I think of making a new character due to the amount of time spent grinding for no reward.
I’ve spent nearly 16 hours grinding out Critical Avoidance at 200+ corruption without rolling above 58% until I finally landed a 70% miracle roll and the burnout had outweighed the joy.
A suggestion I would have for the blessing system would be upon completion and the choice to choose a blessing pops up if you decide to keep the current blessing you can gain 1-3% onto that blessing so at the very least the grind has some sort of guaranteed progression to it.
Maybe even a way to “bank” a blessing you have worked hard to get but needed to switch to something else to try out.
I started as Fortune Guild and made it to tier 9 before I snapped trying to farm for T7 Throwing mana cost reduction modifiers. After days of farming over 300+ corruption, max level, spending 100 thousand + prophecy on exalted rings allowing for over 20 rings to drop upon completion, I have only ever managed a single T7 throw ring with a small handful of T6. After easily thousand-plus ring drops and then being unlucky in putting it into a legendary item, losing the modifier, I’ve officially quit the Fortune Guild and got Tier 8 Merchants Guild.
A few suggestions or thoughts about this experience.
Maybe through Fortune, options for target farming-specific modifiers would help a ton with finding these stubborn mods that just refuse to drop.
I am not entirely sure why other than masochism for us not being able to forge above T5 to at least T6 and possibly be allowed to use a very rare rune to force a T7 even if it’s at random but that could save a massive amount of pain and burnout of being stuck behind a modifier upgrade.
Why are Tundra Cats, Rime Giants, and Ice elementals in the Desert maps? These enemies feel overturned with the Tundra cats outrunning me at over 100% movement speed and 1 tapping me and not even the Desert is safe from these savages.
Curious to hear what others think, is the blessing system too much to deal with? Do you guys enjoy the Circle of Fortune Grind or does it massively suffer in certain aspects? Who else felt the wrath of the Tundra Cats conquering the timeline?
