I wanted Hotspur for my Hardcore Berserk Barbarian, who was my Key of Destruction farmer.
Their +15% max fire resist and +45% fire resist where great at reducing Nihlatak‘s Corpse Explosion fire damage, while their lack of Faster run/walk was offset by the Leap Attack skill and the Increased speed passive.
So I target-farmed Coldcrow on Normal with one of my sorceresses with like 500 Magic Find. When they finally dropped, they were … Ethereal (a 1 in 10 chance). But I really wanted torches, so I started using them. I wasn’t getting hit much, as I would Howl away the little mobs. So despite having only 7 durability, I started wearing them. I soon found non-ethereal ones from a random monster on one of my other characters. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
