Will Loot be better per Torment Level this time?

PC General Discussion

I’m really hoping we see actually differences per Torment Level.

1 GA’s should be guaranteed in T2. But also for Torment 1 I think too for those that don’t want to leave Torment 1. Torment 1 is End Game after all.
T3 should be Aspects nearly Maxed or Fully Maxed. And nothing but GA Gear drops. No more seeing 750.
T4 should be 100% Max Asepcts and nothing but GA’s

We’ll see , but to be honest, with the reputation cache in S9, you were getting a lot of GA’s , i was mostly decked in 2GA’s last season ( maybe i got lucky )

Was doing 4 man bossing, was giving massive reputation :smiley: ( i think it was best )

They said “increased loot drops” lets hope its not a repeat of S7.

4

That’s the word on the street, but I won’t hold my breath.

I didn’t hear/see increased drops. I saw increased loot quality per torment tier.

  • Ancestral chance now scales with Difficulty Tier.

Yea I take this to mean we’ll have an increased chance of Ancestral gear dropping. Which means 1 GA minimum. So the more Ancestral that drop the better chance we’ll have at getting 2 or 3 GA.

Didn’t say more loot would drop mind you, just that what does drop will have a higher chance at being Ancestral.

What is Blizzard’s definition of quality?

Ancestral, they stated as much during the dev update live stream. So you should see more ilvl 800 items over 750’s the higher the torment tier you go.

Okay. I haven’t watched those for a couple of seasons.

Yea if they ever mention quality when it comes to gear it’ll always be pertaining to item level. As ‘quality’ to a player can be subjective toward the build they want. Everyone wants more Ancestral items to drop, now we’re getting a better chance as we go up in difficulty.

That means we get more Lvl 800 gear with +hp/sec, +120% damage to local fauna (ofc not :otter:) etc… :see_no_evil:

During the Campfire, they show a screen capture of a 4 GA Unique on the ground to illustrate how much the quality of the loot is improving with Torments difficulty.

Now, I am expecting that only 4 GA items are dropping in T4.

Half the players would rejoice, the other half would demand a hotfix to nerf it.

Now you have successfully awaken my inner skritt :star_struck:
I love more shiny things.

I wouldn’t hold my breath that the “quality” scaling will even be noticeable. The PTR demonstrated it wasn’t.

I always left torment 1 in full ancestral gear and it took like 2 3 hours after dinging 60, as it wasn’t fast enough…

17

Not going to lie, got a nice 3GA Cowl of the Nameless yesterday…too bad it was account only but nice for my Dance of Knives build. Got good drops the last few days.

18

At some point last season on T4 I was getting a GA to drop roughly every 30 item drops. If they double the rate at which they drop that would take it from 3% all the way up to a whopping 6% :joy:.

Of course they wouldn’t announce it as a doubled rate and would use language like 100% more because 100 is bigger than 2 after all and knowing blizzard 100% of 3 would actually calculate to .03 (blizzard math) the new chance would be 3.03% :rofl:

19

When I think “Quality” I think of 800 Gear, high level Aspects, Maxed Aspects, high level Unique Effects on Uniques.

Technically I’d be cool with Max Aspects and high Level Unique Effects.

But it would be cool to have more “oh, wow!” moments with more 2 GA Ancestral Legendaries dropping.

I am more concerned about runes, and uniques, should it take 3/4’s of the season to find what you need.
