You pretty much are. There’s a reason pitzerker exists as a meta, it’s a bit more expensive because you need enigma, but teleporting from pack to pack takes no more than a few seconds, definitely faster than saving and loading into the game again to kill pindleskin once.
Yeah, I don’t think anyone argues with that.
They’re worth it when terrorized, nobody argues they’re bad when they’re not terrorized. A flayer on p8 has 1:417k chance of dropping a rune, compared to a cow on p8 which has 1:278k, so by that math you need to kill exactly 3 flayers to match the drop rate of 2 cows for ber rune. And guess what, flayers melt like crazy, you kill flayers insanely faster than cows with the right build. Not to mention the insane density of bosses in flayer jungle + dungeon, most of which are double bosses (shaman + the guy that falls off once you kill shaman). 4 champions are basically 8 champions. You really haven’t seen a lootsplosion of a champion pack + minions on p8 which fills the screen and then some at a point you cannot even fit all items on the screen.
I don’t usually do that either, but so far it has worked excellently for me. I started season numerous times as a trav horker and as a sorc and while they were probably tied in the past for farming efficiency, sorc is definitely ahead in terror zone meta because barb has no aoe.
Now I probably cannot change your mind and I have no interest to, I’m just going to continue starting seasons as a sorc since it has been the most profitable for me so far, unless something changes with the terror zone themselves that would advantage a horker more, but that I doubt.
