Please improve the Loot experience on Season 5. We dont even need this many loot. If an item drops, it needs to be AT Least with the Right stats.
3 GA item with Posion Resist / Life Per Second / All Resistences? Seriously?

Remember too the devs harped about there being less but better loot. I think I’ve had more loot, save gold this season than any but because of that and the probability of bricking, I think the percentage of actual good stuff has gone way down.

Its just the quantity. We get normal legendaries at the same rate of rares prior to season 4. It gets to a point where you’re only looking for 2ga/3ga but silver lining is you dont need to look at loot anymore.
If they reduced overall quantity it would feel better.

Closer to PoE loot…
d3 loot mixed with PoE
Loot is still horrible. Tempering makes it 10x horrible as you brick 90% of what little “good” useable loot you do find… My friends and I have just about giving up hope on this game turning out anything close to solid content. Maybe in 2, 3, or 5 years it might have a solid season. Currently whoever is doing the final sign-offs on content may as well head up the waste management for Los Angeles… It’d leave about the same after taste…

Welcome to the abundance of affixes. Yes they trimmed some down, only to introduce more with tempering.
Loot needs to be simple. But in order for that to happen they need to TRIM alot of affixes out. Why do we need like 3 different damage systems? Vuln, Crit, and over power? Couldnb’t we just gone with Crit?

Why do we need Poison Resist on Gear? Life Per Second?
All these affixes can become GA and that just breaks everything.
They need to remove these affixes from Gear, we can already Temper Poison Resist 50% on any piece of Armor, even Amulet. Why do we need GA rolled Posion or Shadow Resistance. Jeez.
Its so tedious to farm Helltide all day just to find you dont get a single upgrade for your build

Life Per Second
Life Per Hit
Poison Resist
Shadow Resist
Fire Resist
Cold Resist
Lighting Resist
All this can roll on your item and become GA. Getting 2 GA and 3 GA is already hard and you still need the Temper not to brick !!!
I get a lot of gold to feed my master working habit by selling all those normal legendaries that I don’t have to look at any more. Gold supply would be even tighter if they reduced drops.
You guys realize the only reason why are you criticising loot is because not getting 3GA drops with EXACT affixes you’re looking for right ?
Name me any other game where such high expectations would be realistic even remotely closely
There are some issues with D4, loot is no longer THE issue (unless you count in some of the underwhelming Uniques

Well change Masterwork Reset cost then? Do we have to get so much trash on Helltides?
When you get like 70 items in 10 minutes of Blood Maiden farming and not a single 1 is an upgrade or 2 GA. And when you get a 2 GA it comes with Poison Resist or Life Per Second ?
Yes there is a Loot problem. Too much loot. Not meaninful loot.

IDK about you but here’s an example of mine:
- Had gloves (quite good ones, not perfect but): Int (GA), AS (GA), and rerolled the 3rd affix into +2 to Charged Bolts (which is my main DPS spell, which b.t.w. could’ve spent a 100M+ gold to try to reroll into a CB roll of +3 ?)
BUT then got another ones yesterday:
- Int
- +4 to CB (GA)
- Crit chance (GA)
Which as far as I’m concerned are IDEAL affixes to get for what I’m doing
Should I “grind” for a 3GA version of the same ? (considering I KNOW it will take forever and even then chances are won’t get the same) 
… And even say I got the Int roll as GA, how much more power do I get from it ? (200 Int instead of say 85), 10% total power maybe ? (literally get 1500 Int instead of 1375)
Yeah no, the mere fact that people expect NOTHING EXCEPT THE VERY BEST is an issue (loot is not the problem, having super high expectations is)
Which brings me to yet another point - the game needs “complications” and “hurdles” so people don’t “focus” on what they don’t have, and instead at some point/s can recall (or at least somewhat remember) a nice tricky fight that surprised them initially

Just need those new pets to be granted auto-salvage options and the world will mostly be right again.

ok i dont know about Sorc, but for Necro having GA on Golem Mastery (Chest) or Skeletal Mage Mastery (Gloves) is SUPER rare, and on top of that you need to roll Crit Chance and Attack Speed with Skeletal Mage Mastery on Gloves, otherwise it will be very hard to reach 100% attack speed from Cult Leader Node.
There are ridiculous combinations right now. Like Amulets that are impossible to find with Hellbent Commander +3 with Attack speed.
Friendly reminder that you still have to Temper so there is a chance to BRICK a SUPER rare item.
Then perhaps the solution for this one is to reduce the threshold, say 75% maybe ? 
I mean perhaps we should probably try post about specific build impediments (when we notice them) instead of criticizing loot in general
I assume this is also related to that abovementioned node you said ?, either way what tier in Pit is your Necro clearing effectively ? (115 ?), so what’s the issue then ? 
And yes, Amulets are THE hardest to find (so far have gotten only one 2GA amulet that I’m using, and wasn’t even from playing but got it as the last reward from Iron Wolves mission)
If you got an upgrade ever 10 minutes it’d mean you hit end gear point in like 6 hours of gear grinding.
I could certainly see shrinking the stat pool but the time between upgrades is going to get longer as soon as you start needing 2 or 3 GAs on every piece
We not getting too much loot. Unless we running helltide event. Or doing goblins in extra shrine NMDs.
Sure as heck not getting to much running 100+ pits. Problem is not that we getting no loot or too much. But it is ALL THE SAME. Do a level 1 pit when you 50 you getting same loot as you do in a 150 pit when you are 100. IT is flat stupid.
