In summary, this system allows you to target farm specific mods by killing specific monsters in specific areas. It's like farming a specific act zone to farm a specific divination card, but for rare items, and it's particularly amazing for leveling since you can play whatever you want without being worried about gear.

can you explain how does that differ from Alva mods for example?

alva mods are still random within a mod group, and it's just one mod

it takes time to set up a temple

MI items have more than one guaranteed affix, sometimes 4 guaranteed affixes

MI items are also used in crafting, so even if it's not useful for your build, it can be useful to craft something you need

Hello,

I just played Titan Quest 2 a bunch, which just "shadow dropped", as they seem to say. I must say, it's everything that I thought PoE 2 wanted to be.

It's tactical:

Positioning matters. One wrong move and you end up dead very quickly. Enemies make you move, dodge, stun them when they do special attacks and every single one of them seems to be a decent foe. Skills need to be used properly, which doesn't really seem to be the case in PoE 2, where I can just spam a single spell or skill and be mostly fine (Frozen Locust, I choose you!). Skills in TQ 2 seem to be more fine tuned towards how combat ought to work. I see a big mob in the back, I cast ignite on it and then deal with the little mobs through a whirlwind type attack. In PoE 2 that kind of tactical thinking almost never finds relevance.
