Those are excessive numbers for early-game devices. I suppose early warrior doesn't need to rely on items like BDSM and RoI, but now their activation is borderline useless. Unless you develop a tolerance for even more "you failed to activate it properly" -messages.Comment

Ehhh... not in my experience. The only times I've ever had to grind beyond the point of boredom was in the endgame when I was low on consumables. And I got low on consumables because I was too aggressive.
And I suppose what I mean by "can't really kill them" what I mean is "can't kill them without either burning through way too many consumables, or putting yourself at way too high risk of dying."
However, if we put say the top 3 gear items in a vault to random top 10 mobs in the vault, it would incentivize a moderate kill/consumables change, as instead of just flicking everything away from a vault you would rather kill the stuff.
Could be just a % thing as well, so that big vaults have more in mobs and small vaults might have just one item, so risk vs reward.Comment

Wow.
I had already learned to detest blood falcons - in a good way X-D - but this was brutal...

It would make sense if you changed it to something else - but to just unmap it.
ick.
p has always been more convenient for my spell casting.
Would rather be able to remap mComment

I was surprised that my CL48 Druid only had a 38% chance of success to activate Power Dragon Scale Mail. After failing a few times, I gave up and eventually finished without ever activating the PDSM.
I think I read that some of the activation rates were decreased in 4.2.3, but wow, that seems a bit harsh.Comment

On average, my opinion is that max level chars shouldn't be over 10% fails, no matter the item. If it is a class that's supposed to be good, close to 1% fail should be norm for most things (RNG will still kill you eventually if you rely on them in life or death situations).
During leveling, the fail rates can be harsh, but end points shouldn't be insane. This reminds me of pseudo id back in the day, when it was totally pointless for most classes...Comment

From latest nightly:
You see 3 Gold Potions.
I attempt to quaff and I get the choice to randomly breathe, or select a cone of fire or frost.
If I hit escape, the potions aren't identified, they're still listed as "Gold Potions". But I already know what they are from the attempt to quaff. Selecting an option to breathe then does it and identifies them as Dragon Breath. Seems like a bug.Comment
