I’m curious on people’s thoughts on the censer.

Personally, it’s too random for me to warrant picking. It can set off in narrow corridors, making that the highest priority and danger. It can fire off in a shop, so now I’m thinking of dropping it off before the door. It can activate while you’re eating and you could be caught in a paralyzing cloud for any mob to clobber down on. Any potions or scrolls on the ground, along with other destructibles, are vulnerable to firestorms or icestorms that come willy nilly. The durational activation means it doesn’t jive with speed builds. It can be fun to try out at least once but not my cup of tea.

Maybe if there was a warning before it’s set off, or you could inspect it to get an idea if it’ll fire off soon, I might give it another whirl.

    I won a 4-challenge run with an censer but it felt more like a curse to overcome. Scared one shopkeeper too, but the most annoying was the growth effect.

    would be good to get some indication on the next gas incoming

    I am trying it right now and, against what I thought, it’s actually pretty good and fun. Sure, it has its risks, but it is hella fun, and makes the gameplay way more active and entertaining.
