Single player key drops need better drop rate

General Discussion

It’s taking way to long to farm a set of keys to run ubers. Ever since this last patch it feels like they nerfed the drop rates to slow down ladder and make torchers harder to obtain, but single player shouldn’t suffer since we cant trad them to anyone.

Please buff key drops for single player.

Going on 50+ kills on summoner and I have 1 key to show for it, simply goes back to Blizzard not respecting my time by making the drop rate so insanely low.

It wouldn’t be that bad if I didn’t get 3 barb torches in a row when I’m trying to get a Zon/Druid torch but now its taking even longer just to farm the set of keys.

50+ kills with only 1 key to show for it? Ouch. What did you do to anger the RNGods?

It feels like they did something to nerf the drop rates, I was playing before this most recent patch and I was getting keys to drop a lot more often.

I could just be insanely unlucky but it really feels like the drop rates aren’t what they show they are. I do countess on player 7, and been doing summoner on players 3.

I jumped into the forums today looking for something like this. I farmed on my day off work last week and got about 20 keys and I’ve been farming about 6 hours today and only 1 O.o

The odds of getting a key rises greatly on p3 for all key bosses. However, for countess she will drop less runes as a result.
Example table for summoner (hkey)

----------------1 key-------2 keys
|p1 - p2|1 in 12.04|1 in 331|
|p3 - p4|1 in 9.05|1 in 181|
|p5 - p6|1 in 8.46|1 in 156|
|p7 - p8|1 in 8.26|1 in 149|
