Torghast is a bit divisive of a feature, I’d argue: a lot of players really love it, and a lot of other players REALLY hate it. I was firmly in the latter camp until recently, and while farming out Renown by spamming Layer 5s I was getting a ton of Tower Knowledge. And when I got a decent amount of that tech tree I’ve been neglecting for basically the entirety of this patch sorted out (triple Blessings, no Torments, doing a ton more damage to bosses, etc.) I… kinda started having fun in Torghast?
I just wish the devs would make it account-wide. I’d unironically spend hours upon hours in here if the first few runs weren’t so painfully boring.

Choregast became Torghasm.

It’s OK with gear, but layer 12 is a massive slog compared to 11 if you’re not ready for it.
I still say all of Torghast needs a 30% timespeed buff. Everything needs to move faster, you, your CD’s, your enemies, all of it, in order to mimic the games it’s trying to copy.

yeah because once you get all those talents you can roll through like a goren in blackrock foundry. munch munch munch no danger.
There’s powers that do that…after this week it feels like visions with the tech tree maxed.
I’ve had no reason to run it so I only have like a point on some alts in the tree lol… Seems like their endless runs in testing is what this tree leads to in some respect.
Ultimately it’s them making you grind out currency for QoL stuff. This whole expansion is full of it, feels like by the time I’d get to filling out the talent tree, I’d have a nice ol’ hate for Torghast.

Problem is I don’t want to deal with having to unlock that crap.
I already played through Choreghast in 9.0. I don’t want to slog through talents before it gets fun.
Like take Visions. At least that STARTED with the talent tree. If Visions was put in without that in say 8.2 and then 8.3 came out with the challenge mode 5 masks challenge and the titans talents I wouldn’t bother at that point either.

I love Torghast as a concept, the problem for me is that it takes wayyyy too much time and say if you have to log out on a layer for a bit all your progress is gone.
Depends on your class. I love it as fury and demo.
Didn’t really like it on my rogue I played last season.

I liked it more before they added the timer stuff, if they added a reward structure and new levels/mechanics minus the timer i would have been stoked. Feels pretty crappy now when you do a run, kill everything and have zero deaths but it’s still a failure because you missed a hidden urn or something. I’m aware there are extra hoops you can jump through in order to counter a missed urn/mob or slow time but it isn’t fun, that’s my gripe.

That’s the weird part: once you’re as stacked as I got on my main after a bunch of runs you’re trying NOT to get the 200+ score so you can farm more without doing Adamant Vaults. You get a bunch of bonus points just for killing stuff fast and booking it through floors in sub-3 minutes. It’s crazy how fast this is.
I think its better in 9.1.
The pacing just feels much better. Old Torghast really didn’t get fun until floor 4 or 5. Which at that point the run is practically over.
Always liked Torghast, just think it needs more loot in it. Feels pointless to run as it is.

nah torghast is actually fun now, they just need to actually have grindable rewards in them a la islands.

I will never accept Torghast. The fact I have to go there for Soul Cinders is a problem.

I’ve found that with a blessing or two and Korthia gear, layer 8 is a real sweet spot. You can run it in less than an hour AND get the tower knowledge without worrying to much about crappy Anima Power RNG.

Also depends highly on spec. I was going slowly when I was assassination spec at the recommended iLvL. Switched to Subtlety spec and I just finished layer 12 with no problem being 40 iLevels below the recommendation a couple days ago ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I mean Torghast is just 5 mask Visions 2.0 without the gear rewards. I would be a lot more excited about Torghast if they rewarded Domination Socket gear each week from a 5 star run. Visions you got a high level corruption item which was the theme of 8.3 so why do we not get the themed gear from Torghast? I don’t get it.

Hilarious stomping Torghast and reaching 3,000+ Phantasm before the shop floor as a Warrior.
I’ll have one of everything. With a glass of all your water.
lmao.

Torghast is a slog no matter how you slice it. On one character it’s annoying on more than one it’s terrible.
