Hi, I have two quick questions that have been on my mind maybe you can answer
The first is I recently just made it to Torment 1, and noticed there’s no loot at all - its mostly just materials with a few legendaries here, and there. My question is this intended? I find it kind of weird, but not a change I am unused to…
The second is I am doing Nightmare Dungeons on Torment 1 - I am geared enough to keep pumping through this difficulty but for efficiency sake should I bump down the difficulty to Penitent so the runs are quicker? I lose the exp boost, and the gold by doing this so its kind of up in the air -
They toned down all of the item drops. So yeah get used to less loot.
Stay on torment because only in torment difficulties you can get ancestral items now. Higher chances for uniques and in theory… Mythic uniques also can drop.
Blizzard wasn’t creative enough to make items matter properly, despite the answer existing in Diablo 2, so they’re making it so anything that isn’t Legendary auto-salvage when it drops.
Once you have ilvl 750 gear, you’re hard-capped until you do Torment, because Ancestral items (ilvl 800, 1 guaranteed Greater Affix) can only drop in Torment. Temper your gear and do some nominal Masterworking if necessary. Use gems/enchants to fix your armour and resists, and don’t ignore life rolls.
