Lost Curing Wand

Either decrease the recharge time on the wand or decrease the number of Lost you have to save.

It's just silly at the moment

I'd have to agree. Or make it an AoE.

It's like a 5-10 minute job to hit 20 of them - it's not really that much work

I couldn't agree more... waste of time having to hang around waiting for the darned thin to reload.

Technically, with a 12 second recharge, it takes 4 minutes, so if it's taking you that long, then you're doing something wrong

Even so, the amazement at being able to cure the Lost was great the first time, but it just drags on subsequent attempts (at least for me).

I think dropping the recharge time to 6 seconds would go a long way to improving the mission and make it feel like you're accomplishing something fantastic, rather than have you stand there and watch as the Lost comedically shoot their former comrades.

Maybe they could make the cured Lost able to take damage, so you could be entertained by them being shot down by the normal Lost as you waited for the wand to recharge?

Go in a Lost mission. You will have your 20 before you know it, and then it will run out just before you zap the boss.

Or, team with 7 other people, all of whom have a wand. Then you only have to do 2.5 each.

I really should do something about this signature.

Solo. With only one mission.

That's the situation I'm approaching it from.

You will get more than 20 simply by soloing one lost mission.

That's why I like the power so much, I get the wand then go and do the faultline arcs and use it on those pesky mezzing lost bosses. I just wish it lasted longer.

Does it 'have' to be fast? Do it 'have' to reload quickly? Can't there be a 'challenge' whereby you have to be patient, just a little?

I don't remember getting impatient with it, and I hunted lost outside.

I've always hunted them outside as well. Hasten speeds the recharge of the wand up noticeably. It's hardly a challenge though is is, sitting there idle with the wand on auto waiting for it to recharge - all you have to do is hit tab to select the next target each time it fires and otherwise leave it alone. Boring as hell to be honest.

Yeah i am thinking about it everytime i get that wand. My usual curing ground is Hollows. After hitting one with the wand rest scatter around. I never understand the long recharge time on that thing to be honest. Cured lost don't give any xp at all.

I tried that but it didn't work. The first 2 were easy but it didn't matter where I looked, I couldn't find 1/2 a Lost.

A bit bad if this is considered a gripe
Try hunting 50 Longbow in Nerva, when you're malefactored down so they are all red and purple conning. Or the two Hunt missions in the Hollows when there are never Trolls or Outcasts in sight.

This one by comparison is easy as pie. And amusing when you pop a Boss with one shot XD

I've cursed a lot of hunt missions, but that's the one I've never had any problems with. Go through the Atlas entrance, and the Outcasts are to the right, the trolls are straight ahead over the wall.

I do like the idea of saving the curing wand for Faultline, though. All those mezzing bosses are a pain in the brain.

Death is part of my attack chain.

Faultline is where I used the wand when I got it.

As for the Hollows hunts, Flux's one is fine. He's surrounded by Outcasts after all. But those two, you can guarentee that the mobs you find will not be the mobs you're after
