'MhalElqSil' runes without using TG?

Mhal and Elq are enhanced runes, your best chance is Scosglen, but you can also find them in your Duncraig or Fauzt runs. Elq is easier to find, you can cube two "Ol"s as well.

For Sil, you need to find and cube an Earth Essence and a Runestone found in Teganze.

U can create it by cubing 2 of the runes below, just like any other runes in the mod.
If u can farm scos it should give u the best chance of enchanted runes in general I believe. Gl. (:

I just learned today that the navigator from lab can have 100% spell pierce before reaching the point where monsters in lab naturally start getting 100% spell pierce. I was curious which monsters there are in the game that naturally have spell pierce.

Assur (Duncraig boss) has 100 fire pierce.

Lightwells (punisher turrets) used to pierce poison, but I think that was removed in 2.0.

The Horadric Mages in the Binding of Baal uber had pierce several years ago and hurt enough that it wouldn't surprise me if they still had some, but I'm not sure.

Nothing else comes to mind unless you're counting the handful of lower resist curses or QT's Mythal.

I've now rolled seven 1 skill neutrality pact and seven 0 skill suppository, I've done the math and it's insanely bad rng if the chance was 50/50.
I really can't take having to do valthek even one more time, I don't think my hardware will survive this absolutely agonizing ordeal.

Fairly certain its an even distribution. I don't believe any charm or item's internal stat ranges are weighted. Its just bad luck. It took me 18 Book of Lies to break above a 160 HP roll. I've rolled 12 Wind Runners without a plus skill. Doesn't mean its rigged. We just forget the times we rolled near perfectly on the first try. I can put that shit RNG next to my first try perfect Erawan and Crucible. This is a core human bias essentially no one is immune to yet this game rubs into all our faces.

With how many RNG rolls occur over a given D2/Median playthrough the odds of not experiencing such an outlier in a run is almost non existent. Within a set of many millions of attack, damage, spawn, drop, and affix rolls these observations are completely normal. Expected even. Wildly improbable series of rolls within an almost immeasurably vast total quantity of rolls are statistically expected.

A Median play through must has many billions of total rolls in it cumulatively. Put this within that context.

We all share in your pain. Especially with Valthek as its a long fight that always plays out virtually the same. May your luck improve.

Killed Uldy 9 times today, all charms were +1 skill.

Anyone with engineering or statistics background knows this is almost impossible with a 50/50 chance.

This is definitely biased and adds nothing to the game except for increasing grinding time. That's why I don't do Valthek any more. Too little gain for too much effort.

9 times is about 1 in 500 which is rare, but still realistic.

Don't miss the point.
