Hi. I was looking at the sales numbers for some EVs this year, please go to the chart on this page that lists the sales by model name: https://thedriven.io/2026/06/03/australian-electric-vehicle-sales-by-month-in-2026-by-model-and-by-brand/

Two models caught my interest. The first was the Geely EX5. You can see in that chart, it has about 400ish sales in January and February, then 606 sales in March, and then the sales bursts to 1202 in April, and 1814 in May.

The other is the Jaecoo J5. 215 sales in January, 369 sales in February, 569 sales in March, 692 sales in April, and then it bursts to 2172 sales in May.

The other EVs have more stable sales from month to month, and there isn't a sudden jump like there is for the Geely EX5 and and Jaecoo J5.

Can somebody explain what is going on? Is it positive word of mouth and positive reviews that is being passed on, which leads to critical mass and a sudden burst in sales? Or is it something else?

FYI, my last season was Season 8. In that season, the top leaderboard got to about Pit level 122 or so, and I was able to get to Pit level 100. My character in Season 8 was way more buffed, but I had to do a lot of trading, to get the the best gear possible. Actually, I spent a lot of time trading, and it was a grind. I got to about Paragon level 250ish in Season 8. I was also using the Ball Lightning sorc that season, and that was the most OP build/class in Season 8, based on the leaderboard that season (Lunatic Warlock is not the most OP build/class this season).

This season, my goal was to get to Pit level 100, even though I knew the top leaderboard was Pit level 150. I just wanted to play casually this season and I didn't want to spend so much time on trading, to get the best items. Also, the Lunatic Warlock build is only B tier this season at Maxroll, so it's not even close to being the top build/class this season. The only item that I got from trading was the Cage of Madness, to kickstart the Lunatic Warlock build, and trading for runes for a Tyrael's Might. The rest of the items, I got myself. I somehow lucked out and a Grandfather dropped for me about two weeks ago, and I have been using that all that time.

More or less, I just want to play casually this season, anything beyond Pit 100 was good enough for me, and I didn't want to spend so much time trading. Also, my Paragon level is only 211 this season, lower than my Paragon level of 250ish in Season 8.

I would like to thank this subreddit for all the questions I asked this season. I got a lot of help in this subreddit, and the answers were usually quick and fast, when I posted a question. Of course, Wudijo's, AceofSpades's, and XP Game's Lunatic Warlock guides were also very helpful (well, Wudijo is the one who popularized this build).

Finally, for anybody else doing the Lunatic Warlock build and hasn't reached Pit 90 yet, here are my two cents, if you are aiming for Pit 90 to Pit 110, based on my experience (please note that Wudijo just changed his guide again, because of the patch fix to the Dirge of Odium, so this advice is based on my experience before the patch fix):

1. Temerity is so good for the pants. Once that barrier goes up, you get so much more survivability. I guess Temerity is the poor man's equipment for pants, but I think it works pretty good.
2. I kept looking for a really good Seed of Horazon amulet, but I just couldn't find one. And a decent Legendary amulet will simply give you way more toughness (think 10% or more toughness) than your average Seed of Horazon amulet. And if you are aiming for Pit 90, you would be lucky to get a Mythic Seal of the Diamond Mind drop - I never did, the best I got was a 6 slot Legendary Charm. So without a really good Seed of Horazon amulet, and with only a 6 slot Legendary Charm, I think you are better off just using a Legendary amulet and transforming the Seed of Horazon amulet into a charm. When you use all 5 Chain of Horazons charm, you have 1 more charm slot to use, and that's where the Seed of Horazon charm can be fitted. If you do it this way, you can still get the benefit of the Seed of Horazon amulet (although the aspect will be weaker because it's a charm now, not an amulet), but get the benefit of using a Legendary amulet. Make sure the Legendary Amulet has the Vulnerable Damage Multipler affix to it, preferably it's GA Vulnerable Damage Multipler too.
3. Assuming you use Temerity, Cage of Madness, Paingorgers, and Tyrael's Might, this only leaves the amulet for you to imprint Aspect of Heavenly Strength (if you are using a 2 handed weapon). Aspect of Heavenly strength reduces your Damage Reduction by a lot, and effectively can increase your Toughness by more than double - you definitely want to use this Aspect, IMO. If you don't use Tyrael's Might or Temerity, and use a Legendary instead, I guess that allows you to imprint Aspect of Heavenly Strength on your Legendary armor or Legendary pants. But if you do use Temerity and Tyrael's Might, then that only leaves the amulet where you can imprint Aspect of Heavenly Strength. Hence, another reason why I kept using a Legendary Amulet, while I couldn't find a really, really good Seed of Horazon amulet.

Alright, good luck with the rest of you this season! This subreddit has been a huge help, I'm glad I subscribed to this subreddit at the beginning of this season!

I am playing a Lunatic Warlock. I am in Metamorphosis mode (ie. I look like an orange demon).

In the photo, I am using a Seed of Horazon amulet. My Toughness is about 2.8 million when I use the Seed of Horazon amulet.

When I put on the legendary amulet, it says the Toughness increase is supposed to be 7%, as per the photo above. However, when I actually put on the legendary amulet while in Metamorphosis mode, my Toughness ends up being 6.3 million. 6.3 million is more than a 7% increase from 2.8 million - it's like a 100% increase from 2.8 million.

Can somebody explain this?

Hi. My understanding is, when you transfigure an item with the Horadric Cube, sometimes you get unlucky and a really good affix on that item is replaced by an affix that you don't want during transfiguration.

At the Maxroll Horadric Cube site though, they claim that replacing an affix for Mythic items during transfiguration is not possible, under the Transfigure Item section:

> Same as above, only an affix is replaced with a Transfiguration affix instead of getting one for free (can not happen for Greater Affixes, Enchanted Affixes, Tempers, and Mythic Unique items).

Am I reading this right, that Mythic items cannot be bricked by transfiguration for the Warlock class, right?

I checked so many other Horadric cube guides out there, and none of them mention this about Mythics, only Maxroll has that line about Mythics. So transfiguring a Mythic item can never end up with an affix being replaced, which means it is always safe to transfigure a Mythic item, for the Warlock class?
