Omg, I decided to grind for Hopscotch after finding out what a beast it was (weeks after I got my first one in literally my first PoE chest). I ran strikes endlessly for weeks… hundreds of them! My friends would joke with me every night knowing they could hop online and find me grinding away non-stop. I still remember the strike I ran when it dropped… haha good times. There has never been a weapon like that (when it first came out). I loved the game back then! Sorry, no good info to add… just good memories while reading and agreeing with your post.
