The Medusa Dilemma

wpfleider

So many of you have heard this time and time again. I have been farming Arx many many times just for this 1 single piece of item. Yup, you guessed it right. The elusive Medusa inferno staff.
So far I have found a Medusa lightning and Ice staff.

My question is, what would be the next best thing if inferno staff is not available? Should I use the lightning or ice staff?

    In a few weeks you should be able to get it very easily. Once the new patch goes live.

    Wait till next patch, as we will have a "smart loot" system, or something like that. It will check your item set collections 1st and prioritize gear sets you don't have yet in your collection.

    If you will have all gear set pieces collected - then it will work normally as it is currently on live.

    This limits the RNG and you will be guaranteed to receive an item you dont have yet.

    But I bet after this new patch with the smart tool and all, medusa will be useless. 😂

    Use mother's sorrow instead.
    And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
    And if there is no room upon the hill
    And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
    I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

    Yes,

    actually, you can use a lot of different stuff to clear content. You don't need all the most meta stuff unless you are score pushing or in a group doing efficient farm runs. You absolutely can use your lighting medusa staff in vet dlc trials, you also can use mother's sorrow, or a ton of other damage sets. It's not like medusa inferno doubles your dps.

    Avid reader of wes’-pts-diary[RIP]

    NerfAS and Shill ruins everything

    Skinny-meta-fake, graded D, and can’t explain the law of diminishing marginal returns.

    I won’t post that Wes, I’ll get [snipped] for the last time

    Won't that be true when they cap the amount of crit damage you can stack? I thought that was coming next patch too...

    As was said above, use Mother's Sorrow. You'll need to use channelled acceleration or beast trap for minor force.
    Buy an off trait inferno at guild traders and transmute/reconstruct one.
