The drops for The Maelstrom weapons SERIOUSLY need a better system, I could think of three different ways to improve it off the top of my head, how can a game designer not understand that?

Its not like getting a good Vma drop lets you sell it, its all bound, just make it easier to get

Have an interactable board in the lobby that lets you choose whether or not you want to receive a certain weapon/ roll on completion but only if youve already received it.

So if I get a training inferno staff, I can go let the game know that I dont want another training inferno staff.

Or have the rolls that YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR drop a little more often.

Im not asking for a first time sharpened item, or even a fifth time completion sharpened

But when I see the BS RNG that people have, it really makes me wonder why something hasnt been done.

Don't worry, I guarantee you want get any training weapon in vMA.

All you need is further practise, VMA is a cake walk - sure you need to learn and understand mechanics but geez after a while knowing spawn points running khrags and (1 heavy attack) literally kills everything it becomes a bit of a "haha"

Too much hard work having to remember mechanics. Some people like that some don't. I just dont go, takes far too long as well and it's solo only.

The weapons are only worth it if you're a min mazer, they aren't needed.

I wish they would Nerf VMA to the point where it becomes challenging but fun. Not a headache through and through. Im normally not a NERF IT guy but damn. Its just not fun to the point I dont even play it.

There are some ppl that dont find it challenging anymore

The ones that ran it 500+ times and still didn't get the weapon they want

I've done it like 10 times across 3 classes and it isn't really hard. It's literally getting a good build and learning rotations. That's all it is. First time was 4 hours, then 2, then an hour the other times since.

Still not worth my time. An hour game time to get a useless weapon is not my idea of a good investment nor is it fun.

Do they find it fun?

I do it as a warm up for something harder, like prob another game : ^)
JK
I do it because I get something to do, that actually requires some skill.
Note the some, SOME, because it isnt hard

Dare I leave my rng here? To make you guys more mad (sorry lol) it took three runs. Got sharp inferno staff and powered resto in same run. I wonder what that math of chance was..

I'll help you giving them all those Mastic i got from deconing sharp infernos. I only keep 2 for my dk and thats all.
2 of each sharpened weapon, and 2 of each precise weapon. the rest is purple mats (gold sometimes)
and I keep a copy of each trait of the bow, because it was my first weapon (sharpened as well), ITS SO FLUFFY

not really, but you get the point

Wrong...

Dual wield adds like 10-12k dps from standard weapons.

So if you want to really smash out some mean dps you'll need them.

However you're right in saying they aren't really needed to do all content you'll get by without.
