Whats the Big deal?

After Reading an Onslaught of Posts ( Thanks everyone ) i decided to give pindle a whirl, but i couldnt give up meph , so i did both, and i found a disturbing fact. Pindle....blows.
for me anyway

i found all sorts of funky stuff off of meph like arkane's valor and araknid mesh, the best thing i got off pindle was ...gold :sleep:

For the record the char im using is a level 90 skellymancer with roughly 350% mf, and yes, i know mf is all about the roll of the dice, but, ive been looking for mavs and ik, and trangs and such, but i seem to either find really high stuff eg. araknid mesh, or Really low, the salamander, lol

thanks for the replys...
Ps. im on the epic journey of collecting every set, and every unique, im well on my way i have every normal set and some exceptionals, and an *** load of unqiues, anyway, "what the hell"..... :cheesy:

I agree. Pindleskin is a waste of time. Sure,they say he can drop anything in the game. But I personally don't have the time to wait for him to do it. If Meph can't drop the item then Baal can. At least I can get good exp pts from running Baal, even if his drops aren't always good.

Umm... 1.09 pindle used to drop good stuff and for 1.10 they nerfed his drop rate.

Actually, the latest research from the MPQ-wranglers indicates that although Blizzard tried to nerf his drop rate (and Thresh Socket also), they screwed up, and in fact they drop the same as ever. They didn't understand the way things trickle through the categories and subcategories of the treasure class system..

Well, depending on how fast you make your runs, you can do about 10 Pindleskin runs if not more in the time it takes you to do one Meph run. And i dont know about you, but i have found much better stuff off pindle then i ever did with meph.

I used to love Pindle. I got a Shako and IK armour from him. It's funny, the very first time I ran Hell Pindle the IK armour dropped and I had 0 mf at the time :lol: But generally I agree, you find more useful stuff doing Meph and even Andy than you can running Pindle all day (easy as it is plus you don't run the risk of dying and losing xp).

An optimal Meph run without Maphack with an orb sorc takes less than a minute. They can take about a full minute more if you tele the whole durance 2 and/or the nearby Ghoul Lords are extra fast with other nasty mods. Pindle consistently takes about 40 seconds, if I recall correctly. That's not 10 runs per Meph, although it is a more consistent and generally smaller amount of time.

Meph using my Lit sorc is, (Best so far 26 seconds)(Average 35)
Pindle is about 13.

I use chain lighting for the hounds outside the temple.. Good drops from them, easy kills.

I got a ZOD from pindle.... so much for blowing I guess... :lol:

 

[Variable_Angel]

a zod?!

someone did the math once, and you have a better chance of getting hit by a falling plane that was struck by lightning than you do of finding a Zod.

ZOD?!?!

pindle, oh dear pindle,
why art thou so
EVIL TOWARDS ME?

lol, that's crazy.
I guess that's the way things go down but i actually prefer doing countess for everything. Everyonce in a while i'll do nm andy and diablo and hell meph but thats just occasional.

...zod...
<sigh>
