About possessed heart

[Peasant]

This stuff...Hard to obtain, little to craft. I personally don't think it is as valuable as the spark ark. Anyway, what's your opinions?

I know people are upset sometimes with how little new rift content we've got but Klei's literally multitasking between event content, skill trees, boss reworks and new additions.

I think shadow gear is very good for current lategame and it's enjoyable. Good to have beef protection, good to have a quest weapon to level up with but I think the demand is too high and ways to get it upgraded are too cheesy.

People are upset that Maul's healing makes food and other healing less useful, in a way it does but it's also kinda justified for existing this late in progression since you've kinda beaten the game at that point where the content ends, so it doesn't really matter at that point of the game till new content comes and balance changes would too.

no? It's got nerfed like one day after it came out.

without the high leech it's almost pointless and not worth a heart.

I mean, I play Maxwell and I feel most confident when using that weapon at it's full power. That extra minion damage, some leech and generally kinda big damage. Not much health needed when having barely any to start with lol.

I do find it weird that you need a possessed heart for the Nightmare Saddle, like why? The only benefits it does was allowing ornery beefalo do 68 damage, have some planar resistance and have 12 uses compared to other saddles which only have 5 or 8 uses.

It costing a heart, 8 dreadstone, 8 pure horror and 5 tatters alone already made it so costly compared to other saddles just to make beefalo viable in late-game. We could just delete the heart from the craft and it wouldn't even matter.

If we are under the assumption that this is the shadow equivalent of the spark ark, I think their method of obtaining them is a little underwhelming. I really did hope that we should fight shadow infused bosses in a similar manner to the lunar side of things, especially since getting the possessed heart means fighting a boss again that you would've already fought. Otherwise, I think the possessed heart spawns are strong, just not the most interesting to me personally (especially since I don't really use beefalo and hate babysitting the shadow maul). I'm sure it'll help once the possessed heart gets more crafts, though

it's a straight upgrade to the war saddle and you get most of those other materials from nightmare pig alone.
