Some legendary item questions

[Piggy the Slayer]

I tend to interchange between the RoL and the Chaosreaper. If you've lost HP you get them back very quickly using the RoL.

[Sarumar]

RoL, IMO ELyR is just for collectors (balanced steel sword).

Thank you for the quick answers!
Now I know for what weapon I should hunt. The result is really clearly.

Because I was lucky getting an ElyR on my first walk to BwM, I am very heavy grinding now for a RoL. I WANT IT SO BAD

Wow, you really have a LOT of luck!

[Antison]

IMO, this is not even a question for debate. The RoL is by far and away the best weapon in the game and is a very close second to the RoLS for best item in the game.
The uniqueness of the RoL elevates this item ahead of the ELyR and ever other item for that matter.
I respect Mino's opinion, but total AP is not the end-all-be-all.

FYI, For those of you that are unaware, I am the president of the RoL fan club. Nyktos, you can be the vice-president.

After taking the RoL through the spider cave and having the AC % as low as it is, the RoL loses a lot of its effectiveness due to the fact I was missing a lot.
Missing a lot = no HP gains from RoL

IMO, the ELyR fits better with my defensive minded build and the extra AP is just an added bonus.

the ElyR kills hippos like crazy too...

Still grinding for the ROL.
I have Magic Finder lvl 2. Do I only need to kill 5000 imps?
@Samuel: It would be nice if you added the amount of monsters you've to kill with the MF to your rare items topic.

[fiernaq]

You need to kill as many imps as it takes to get the RoL

Each imp has a 1:10000 drop rate so statistics would say that generally speaking, with MF 2, you would only need to kill about 5000 of them to get the item to drop however it could drop on your very next kill or it could theoretically never drop.

[Ian]

Thanks for answering!
I mean the theoretical drop chance which is increased by the MF. I think, it would be better if you knew the amount of monsters you've to kill. It's quite discouraging for everyone if he kills far more mobs than the actual drop chance. But I'm certain that I'll get a ROL, soon

[Wyrmspawn]

The ROL is not of much use to my rhino build, because his DR and hp are usually enough to keep him from damage. And even if he does take damage, he can just heal with regeneration. So, unless I'm in an area with monster's with super high criticals, I'm usually safe enough, and so I don't need the ROL.

ROL > ELYR

Why?

plus, the bless effect is pretty pointless.
