Nice to judge you

Archon's judgement is totally bonkers.
And tbh it's quite unexpected how much stacking this game allows. (and that's without vigor and passives from defense/leadership trees...)

Although even without Face of Judgement, there is more than enough damage to kill him under 10s.

What did you use for the extra arcane damage?

 

[MaxQuest]

It's from Shadow Embrace - the renown ability from The Binding of Shadow gloves.

But it's mostly for show-off. As I still prefer Momentum Gauntlets because Multistrike is passive.

Unfortunately they're part of the nefarious mechanic known as random loot; in five playthroughs I got them exactly zero times

You can repeat the Ascension Hall fight until you get them or using the console.

I don't think it works that way, unfortunately:

with loot lists populated at character creation, I would expect the Ascenion Hall fight to always give me the same item unless I start a brand new game

Do you know what the console command is for the Momentum Gauntlets? The list of item codes I could find is desperately incomplete.

Loot in the containers is fixed, but the item at the end of th Ascension Hall is random (I tested it). You can use the command GiveItemWithQuality Leather_GLOVE_Rare Superior

I've done 5-6 play through's and have always gotten momentum gauntlets from the locked chest hidden in the back of the chorus camp in act 1.

Oddly enough I may be missing something but what and where to you get the rare item after the Ascension hall fight?

At the end of the Ascension Hall fight you receive a rare item in your inventory. It's easy to miss with all the cutscenes at the end and maybe mistaken for some common loot, but if you watch the logs you can see when you get it. Also, like with the other rare items, you don't get it if you're lv11 or higher.

Ah - that makes sense. My last 4 play through's have all been potd solo runs and I've likely been over level 11 by that time.

Thanks!

Same thing with Assassin's Rainment.

Easily missed the opportunity in my first playthrough, to get best defensive spell from Sterling Hagnon, and armor, right off the bat.

 

[AndreaColombo]

I know, right? Totally missed the spell accent in my first playthrough.

Assassin's Raiment I got in my first playthrough and never again.
