Ancestrals. Are. Way. Too. Rare

How many days old it is, is not as important as how many hours people have played. If they only played 10-20 hours then yeah, its not very old. People could have 100 hours by now for all you know.

Thats the problem with all these “The season only lasts a few weeks” guys. Those guys probably played 200-300 hours lol. Nobody wants to grind no 500 hours just to feel fairly finished with one character in a 3 month seasonal game.

No end of progression is getting them with the right affixes, tempering, and masterworks and with multiple GAs. Now also with getting the capped aspect. Making them rare makes this almost impossible unless you want to play the game like a job for one class a season.

Its Helltide probably…simply because of the volume of “chances” per minute…?

Does BloodMaiden drop ilvl800? I have only gotten 750’s

I’m farming Pit lvl 90-100, ancestrals and GA items show as often as mythics. On normal T4 diff, okay, I understand it, but on like 100x harder difficulty?

Maxing aspects out is gonna be THE REAL GRIND

People complaining about GAs and stuff ok, but let’s talk about the elephant in the room here: bringing aspects to 21 is gonna be the ultimate nolife experience

Absolutely. I honestly didnt even know I had to get ancestrals to get better aspects too, until I read it earlier today. I said damn no wonder im having such a hard time getting them capped.

You can’t just jump into T4.

I am paragon 155 with pretty damn good gear, but my resistances and armor are a bit too low to progress through T3.

This is my current challenge atm. I’ve been grinding like crazy as I have pretty decent gear but am almost at the point where I feel like I need a Tyraels to drop or at least some mythic for sparks so I can craft a tyraels. IMHO the nerf to boss ladder drops has been the biggest disappointment to me. 3 -5 items that most of the time are completely worthless is really disappointing. People who say that mythic drops haven’t changed are wrong, less items dropping are less chances for a mythic to drop. So now you take a low chance of a mythic and make it even smaller as fewer items drop. I miss tormented bosses…at least the loot piñata was fun

Yes. And 800 is only for Ancestral/Mythic. All normal items max out at 750.

You’re looking for a 7-day race to T4 to be “purpled out” on a 3 month season and because you’re not getting that you come here to cry about it. That’s pathetic. It’s an ARPG, it’s supposed to be grindy.

Any system can only support as much grind as it has fun, if you run low on fun, the grind quickly becomes intolerable/pointless. The game currently is not fun enough to support the current grind.

I play minion Necro on T4 without one. I do have a perdition helm tho.

If it’s a trash GA just enchant and keep it.

It doesn’t make it “non ancestral”.

Dunno, but with my necro i feel like pits over 75 would be pretty dangerous without tyrael’s or at least i would need to invest a lot of paragorn points into elem res while, right now, i don’t have any single elemental resistance node on my board…hovering around 1500/1600 int with tyrael’s and starless skies i’m at 90ish elem res in T4, capped at 84.9 ofc

I have the perma soulrift minion build. I also have the Lith rune which has me at max stacks of dark shroud.

Working for me, I only die when making silly mistakes.

Im getting some nice ancestral legendaries from doing pits. Ofc not every run and they are still rare.

I also said some days before its not good that ancestrals are so rare but seing that all other stuff is easy to get there must be something not easy to get.

I cant complain about gear and drops. I dont have full GA gear but i got mythics and theres no Lvl 750 legendary on my funny toon.

Yep, I much rather have a 6 wave key than a 10.

I just got some nice panties i think RNGsus left in my kitchaaan. Dex, Max Life and GA to Basic skills. Nice one. I already got same pants but i will use them for Captain Orange SB build :laughing:

Dont fret… lalalala… play the game drops will come to you.

Fun is subjective. It’s impossible to have a discussion on it.

Ancestral gear is a mean to the end progression, not something you can expect to be full deck on after one week.

Im still wearing non ancestral weapon,be ause the % on the weapon and stat are better then the ancestral one(i have try both weapon, the non ancestral was better because of the %).

Today i got nice pants ancestral because of the tribute i got my first this season, i gain some power raw.
