Whats the point of having the Pit in S4? For getting the craft materials, to improve gear?
Okay lets say we did it, next what?

Taken from a quick Google search:

"Diablo 4 players who manage to complete the Artificer’s Pit will get Mastery rewards which tie into the new Masterwork system.

Aside from the normal loot you can expect, The Pit will also drop Stygian Stones. These are the materials you need to summon Level 200 versions of Uber bosses, called Tormented bosses.

The Pit will also serve as the main way to get Masterwork resources Obducite, Ingolith, and Neathiron. You will need to reach higher ranks in The Pit to fully masterwork your weapons."

TLDR;
New ways to improve your gear so you can push your build into higher levels of difficulty instead of Duriel runs being the only “difficult” thing to do when you reach 100.

Could be…
Honestly I dont want to complain here, just wanna understand why we need it, maybe im missing something?

For gearing purposes and testing your build when you can summon the level 200 bosses. What other point are you looking for? Why do we do anything in this game? To get gear so we can kill stuff. It’s a constant cycle, just depends on how fun that cycle is.

It’s a video game. The point is you play it and have fun. If it’s not fun don’t play it and play something else instead.

Point of it is to be the end game endless dungeon:

It gives masterwork material to make your character more powerful to, yes, do more powerful Pit levels. The more difficult the pit the better the drops (in theory) so you have some incentive.

Basically this:

To expand on it:

Gauntlets are aimed at people who want speed
Pit is aimed at people who want difficulty to grind on

Thats it. Thats all. Just greater rifts for crafting mats.

Sure there is gear at the end but the main reason anyone will do it is mats for crafting.

Difficulty and speed. Pit efficiency can be measures by master mats per hr.

The point is to get stronger so you fight stronger enemies that makes you stronger so you can fight enemies that makes you stronger so you can fight enemies that makes you stronger so you can fight enemies that makes you stronger so you can fight enemies that makes you stronger so you can fight enemies that makes you stronger so you can fight enemies that makes you stronger so you can fight enemies that makes you stronger … and then you get bored and quit and then you come back for Season 5 and check out the new cool stuff that they will add into that one.

13

This is their new endgame for players to always grind and obtain masterworking items to max up your gears

14

It is a mechanic to give you one free Uber Unque with crafting as you can summon the lvl 200 boss with the PIT material. This will ease your pain as you need to kill Duriel for few hundred time more only for the rest of Uber you missing.

I will play sorc only, as I just need two Uber and Barb need four.

15

You dont get a free uncommon unique. You get 1 spark account wide on killi g the 200 level uber boss the first time.

16

Tormented Echoes of all ladder bosses can be summoned with Stygian Stones, obtained from deep within The Pit.

  • Stygian Stones are needed along with an increased amount of summoning materials, but fear not – they also drop more rewards!*
  • Tormented Echoes will be level 200.*
  • All items dropped are item level 925.*
  • Defeating your first Tormented Echo drops one Resplendent Spark as a first-time reward (account bound).*

I read that again look like I get one spark only. Hope it means every ladder boss will drop this in first kill. Will find out in PTR

17

It wont matter. You likely will have all your uncommon uniques before killing the level 200 bosses. I imagin the fight will be like uber lilith where people will need to learn the mechanics of the fight or get 1-2 shot.

18

I think is same ladder boss like varshan. Its mechanic is matter when it scale to lvl 200. It will one shoot you like the Blood seekers.

19

Yep, thats why i believe it wont matter. The people/groups that succeed will likely be min/maxed and have everything they need. Uncommon uniques arnt rare so its no a stretch to think of it that way.

when you dont have it complain, when you have it complain harder.
