I normally not get to a place where killing (trying) tormented is any fun so I was very happy I could farm REPS on alts to get one during some evenings.
I made 2 alts and finally got a chest with lots of dam reduction so I could do horde 7 without dying, but it seems they removed that options ?
I know it only cost 2 sparks to gamble for one but if i cant kill tormented bosses how can i then get some ? ( solo)
Did they add a new way to get them or adjust the bosses so they are possible to kill using normal (good) gear ? I normally live fine without ubers but in s5, they locked mastergambling mats in h7 and that i could not really do even with uniques. I could to the pit 61 but its so boring and takes a billions run just to mastergamble one item and i never hit what i need so lots of resets and in s4 i just gave up that part of end games as the pit is silly boring. So I hope they added some other way t grind for it than the bosses ? I know they can drop in other place but I never, ever saw one 
Someone can correct me if I am mistaken…
- 1 from Lilith
- 1 from final faction reward (or was this removed)
- 3x drop rate on Mythicals (mentioned in the live stream. Was this only for bosses?)
- Added a way to get them in Hoards
X3 drop rate from this season? Jeez gonna get 1-2 every kill then, if anything imo the drop rate needed a big nerf I seen like 5 in the 2 weeks I played and not much time farming ubers
Didn’t catch that in the stream but based on patch notes drop rates have been dropped to compensate for them always being ancestral
no. 3x unique drop rate i believe. not mythical. and if u read patch notes, you’ll see that andy/duri have now 2x drop rate for mythical than other bosses… so it’s back to just those 2 unless u need some item from others, and happen to get an uber…
I understood that the faction reward was removed. but if its possible to get from lower hordes that its non issue. Lilith also ok as ppl are often kind to kill it for you. Maybe if getting boss mats are better now, its also possible to get help that way. Also the did remove the normals bosses but one can more easy get uniwues in hordes , as i understood it.
I saw this mentioned a bunch but didn’t see a direct source. Hilarious if true - that was the only reason I’ve considered playing seasonal, so they can roll over to eternal.
i could not 100% confirm it either but maybe it conflicted with only needing 2 to gamble for one and that was considered “too good”. Also you can now craft items and also get uniques so maybe I can gear enough to kill tormented and at least have a chance to get an uber. I never knew how good they are. One item, then made horde 7 pretty easy even killling the bosses took me like 5 mins. But then i could at least get mastergambling mats in a good amount which finally allowed me to go 12/12 for the first time
We are unsure base on picture from campfire, didn’t look like it was on the the reward list… unless the icon was changed.
x3 drop rate for Ancestral Unique.
So with some luck, its just new icon and still possible to grind an uber \o/
Can always hope, but wouldn’t be surprise they didn’t want us to get to many quick mythic with the crafting change.
If the sparks were removed for the repeatable rep grind then the devs should be prepared to see an overall loss of time played.
Do you not still get one for your first tormented boss kill? But I guess the real question is are there any sources that you can repeat by making new characters or whatever.
I guess they also reduced the cost of getting a mythic, so you only need 2 sparks instead of 4 and you can reroll into a different one for one spark.
Not sure. I hope so as then getting help for one kill is also possible. but it was not mentioned and they did change lot so we will see.
In S6 VoH, the devs heavily promoted making alts. In fact this is one of the driving reasons why they made some of the changes.
So I doubt they are removing the Sparks reward from the reputation rewards. I didn’t hear from the livestream that they are removing it.
Someone posted a clip of rep rewards for S6 and there was no spark cache at the end.
I wish I had the pic but do not.
I sincerely hope you are right.
My understanding of the drop rates is that mythics in s6 will drop close to how often ga mythics drop currently on live. Which honestly could be great, or painful.
I too hope that they don’t remove the final reward spark. Was the best feature of season 4 for me personally, as I crafted 4 Mythics between playing all 5 classes to 100 and creating many Sorc alts.
I’m not liking some of the changes for S6 (e.g. no solo option for Citadel, changing how Mythics are crafted, etc), but I’m cautiously optimistic that the expansion and rest of S6 updates will be fun enough to keep me engaged.
they didnt add sparks to infernal hordes…
also the final faction reward, i think its good if they remove that. hopefully they moved it to the season journey final reward so it can only be done once, instead of farmed
