Imagine if i could use a Essence (Twisted Essence of Suffering for Example) to reduce the Class pool size of Hellfire Torches. Then i wouldn’t feel as bad when i’ve wasted so much time farming for a decent Torch and roll a crappy Assassin Torch.
Would also normalize the prices of Torches a bit more making it more accessible for everyone.
Twisted Essence of Suffering - Druid, Barbarian, Sorc
Charged Essence of Hatred - Amazon, Paladin, Necro
etc etc. Maybe the classes overlap, maybe they don’t… Just an idea.
I think the process to farm torches is good the way it is
If anything, SoH should be useful to something, like a new cube recipe

Imagine that. Imagine if you could just imagine an item and it became true.

And as a next step, let us put in a list of drops we want to gain from the mobs and they can only drop those items… or even better let us buy all items from vendors and give as a runeword with -99% vendor costs
It is true on SP 
But yeah, it would be nice, but then it would sort of cheapen the triumph when you finally roll the torch you want. Just rolled another Druid torch last night 
(still no Pally or Sorc torch), back to key farming (on the upside, got a Jah drop in Arcane Sanctuary yesterday)
Yeah it’s called single player or open battle net back in the day lol
This is one of the more ruthless games out there concerning drops. But that is the appeal for most players, the brutal nature of it. You might farm 4-5 hours (or a lot more) for a set of 3x3 keys only to get a 10/12 druid torch at the end :)) this “unfairness” is what keeps people hooked. Because after many tries you might get a real valuable storch which in the end made all the work worth it.
The only problem is that classes have heavy differences in popularity. If they where somewhat equally played you could just trade your torch for the class you need.
But hey, devs looked into cold mastery and sunders and there is no balance problem at all…
