Little offtopic, but I've spent nearly 13k of shards and still no mirrorball. How long it took you guys to get it?
You might spend 5 and get one, you might spend 100k and never get one. It's all RNG. (To answer your question - I got mine from drop, not Kadala, but I've spent 25k shards on Kadala and all 11 legendaries were Forgotten Souls).
The extra missile(s) do not proc APoC, LoH, or other proc effects such as Thunderfury.
It's still an awesome weapon though, and the damage is completely unchanged (no APoC actually doesn't matter that much because the main source of damage isn't an AP spender but MM itself).
Kamswow can I ask how many tries it took you to getMirrorball from gambling? I already spent 1500 anddidn'tget any leg source. Is it much much more that Ihave to spend ??
I spent 6000 blood shards before I got my first legendary from Kadala ever. 9000 if you include beta.
I'm at 10k-11k shards somewhere, almost all of them on weapons, 3 crappy legendaries.
You might spend 100k blood shards and never get a Mirror Ball. Or you might spend 5 and get one. RNG.
Wow, I just did some frost testing (Glacial Spike + X)... and it was really bad. Even with 36% frost damage gear (and 0% fire damage gear), as soon as I switch to Conflagrate the damage goes up (didn't run a full test because I was too squishy and died). I'll stop at this point as this doesn't make any sense before I get Frostburn's or Azurewrath... staying fire for now.
So, I found a Mirrorball as well, and I'm thinking of doing tests for all the several elements. Here's an interesting TL;DR:
Don't use Arcane Orb - Scorch with Mirrorball!
I went ahead and did Ghom edps tests with Magic Missile - Conflag and one AP spender/fire support spell. Here's the breakdown (all tests on Ghom Torment 3, facetanking with 1.1m sheet DPS, 73% +fire damage, no resource cost reduction, 25% cooldown reduction, always Magic Missile - Conflagerate + the spell in the list):
Explosive Blast - Chain Reaction: 24s
Explosive Blast - Short Fuse: 24s
Meteor - Meteor Shower: 25s
Meteor - Molten Impact: 26s
(no AP spender but MM only): 26.5s
Wave of Force - Heat Wave: 30s
Energy Twister - Gale Force: 31s
Arcane Orb - Scorch: 34s (yes, it was really that much slower).
Conclusion: WoF, ET, and AO actually decrease your DPS as they are less AP efficient (on single target testing like Ghom) than the triple MM. Especially Arcane Orb is a total waste; Gale Force and Heat Wave might of course be useful if you always run through full-packed areas, like act 5 cemetery rift, but of those two I would prefer Heat Wave because of the much better proc coefficient and less random factor. I was surprised that even on single target Ghom Meteor Shower performed that good, but since I'm doing T1 speed running right now that skill would be pointless (everything's dead before the Meteor lands). So right now I'm running EB - Short Fuse (got some more CDR) and MM only, which means I need no AP at all and have four utility spells.
If anyone wants to repeat these tests be my guest - I did only one round of testing so some of it might be crit RNG or so, especially since everything is so close together - but for Arcane Orb the results are pretty obvious. Which is sad, it's one of my two favorite spells (together with Wave of Force).
I might do the same tests for the other elements later, still waiting for an Azurewrath or Frostburn's ;-)
