I think tormented bosses mats are meant to be found “by the way”. It gives them rarity so that you should feel more gratification when you complete it. If tormented boss is easy for you, it probably says alot about your build/class balance, or about your items =D
btw. aRPG are grind based games, if it was skill based system instead of item based system then there would be no reason to grind anything. no mats, no items. but it isnt the genre that diablo is.
It’s not “easy” and I play the weakest Barbarian Build (Rend) but I put 200 hours into the character to rank up the master crafting and good gear. Still, it takes me 4x longer to kill Tormented Duriel vs a Rogue for example.
I’m not complaining about my DPS, I like that just fine. I just love the Tormented boss fights (we have to dodge mechanics and avoid things and so forth)… but spending 30 hours farming materials to have 30 minutes of fun fights with Duriel is beyond stupid game design.
Now, I don’t mind farming, but it has to be more reasonable (time wise).
half of the builds dont have to dodge anything actually xd
I am aware. But that won’t help them (to get quick, fast kills) if materials take forever to harvest.
actually, that’s the best thing about it :v . No matter how bugged build someone plays, he cant do everything faster than non-bugged build because even if game is inbalanced, there are time restrictions on grind
That’s not true, can play bugged rogue build and do the rep quest in a few hours, that’s how people are stacking stygian stones, just dumb we have to do a work around instead of just farming them
Sure. Enjoy your slow summoning material acquisition. We certainly have that in this game. I’ll do what others have suggested. I’ll just create an alt and get one up in about 8 hours and I’ll have more material than I ever could get doing it “normally” by playing the game at level 100.
That’s how Blizzard wants us to play. No worries, I can do that. Take care now.
actually, i just got enough stones to do each tormented boss once, and i dont feel any need to clear them more times. It is kind of achievement, I dont see any reason to “farm them”. I dont believe loot is better given that you spend 3x more mats than normal version and it takes longer to kill it once than normal boss 10 times. And if you just wanted to clear each once, there are alot of stygian stone sellers for really cheap.
Yeah the drop is too low when its faster to level alt in T2 helltides to get it from Iron Wolves. I farm 90s pits and so far 1 stone from 50 runs.
While I have 200-300 of other non Duriel/Andariel mats. I wish I could run Tormented
bosses to spend all those mats but it seems they will go to my eternal graveyard chest.
But at least I got achievement for every tormented boss, tho had to do Beast in Ice twice due to debuff stacks bug not clearing/going to 10 randomly first time. Then I just zerged him within few seconds.
Chance for Uber uniques is way better on the Uber bosses, killed regular bosses more times then I can count, done about 10 Uber duriels and got 2 ubers
I’ve gotten more of those Stones from 40+ Pit runs.
Also as much as it’s sucks because of the grinding, completing the wolfs honor on alt characters helps a ton.
good to know, maybe ill buy tons of them (stones) from sellers if i ever find any way to get 5th unique into my build =D
You might not, but other do want to farm them. It’s part of the “end game” Blizzard promised but for whatever reason they only wants us to do it once I guess (per your logic and desires). I guess we can all quit the game after we do that then, since there is nothing else to do 
At least you accomplished what you wanted to do but most everyone else did not. Uff. Boring & pathetic farming game.
I always thought that all aRPGs are jsut boring farming games. Except for D2, which i played solely for the storyline and thats why i never wanted to play resurected. Every other arpg was just farming. Leaderboards? Skill based endgame ? in grinding simulators ? I don’t really think so 
. I’d rather go play Heroes of the Storm or Hades, they are pure skill based and 0 grind. Lately i even switched to chess for few months. Not only skill based but also pure 1v1 =D
Well I disagree on the chess comment. This from playing decades of chess, once you memorize the 20 different defense builds based on the opponents setup you can beat 90% of the people without exerting effort just like an arpg. The last 10% ehh, not so much but then again it’s just capitalizing on a mistake, assuming you’re thinking 5 moves ahead.
Don’t actually see much difference. The idea of skill is so much a grey area.
Choose the pit level that you are able to clear the quickest, the most efficienty, time wise. Rinse and repeat, over and over. For me they tend to drop (On average) 1 every 4 or 5 runs. Each run takes about 3 minutes. Using pit 105
