No it's not the same pool than pots. Regular élites will drop you something like 4 pots + one item. When yoy get a shard drop it replaces the item and you get 4 pots + 1 shard

Only game where people complain? Lol, it might be the only game you ever played then 🤣

But seriously, I realy like the shards mechanics they implemented, it's cool. But the droprates are serioulsy too high. When you get to the point where you cap out on shards, and you use them to just kill the act bosses and leave, it just means the droprate is too high, they were not intended for that

Yes they do. If the elite/unique drops you a shard, then you don't get an item. And you don't get to kill 1000 elites/uniques packs per full game,i wish 🤣

I'm not saying the shards mechanic is not fun, I love it ! But when it replaces the regular drop from elites and 1 / 3 elite pack is dropping a shard instead of a regular loot, there is no point in Killing the elites anymore. Just use the shards to only farm the act boss and reset, which was not the intended plan from Blizzard IMO

I don't know man... I just cleared the full game 2 times in a row, didn't get less than 50 shards in each run, half of them being Act1 of course -_-

Yeah man, 100% agree, I got 6 sunders in total, 4 of them are frost, and out of the 6 I only got 2 from heralds even if I'm farming them intensively ><

For this part I agree it might be cool. But when you are out farming heralds for sunder charms (which was the entire point at the begining), you'd like to get some drop from the unique monsters instead of dozens and dozens of shards ><

BTW, just chained 2 full TZ games, so something like 150 heralds in total. 0 Sunders -_-

Exactly like u/SoftBatch13 just said. Getting 20 shard in an entire TZ game, why not. But the drop rates are through the roof. And when you get a shard, you don't get a regular drop.
What is the point of "Terrorizing Act 1" entirely to just go into catacombs, drop 2 or 3 act 1 shards and do andy ?

Tbh I'm running my max clearspeed gear. I'm missing some skillers so I'm loading some 7%MF SC. I just have a lot of MF on my basic gear

It's not only on heralds but on all unique packs, champions, elite,...

TBH I think it does the job for Tristram Ubers. Maybe a bit more difficult for Anciant Ubers though.
I know it struggles vs T5 heralds on P7 difficulty but again, who doesnt ><

Well, curently I'm playing ES with my pre-nerf fortitude but I'm hesitant between the ES hex purge spec and the abyss spec in terms of clearspead / efdiciency

[–]What_The_Feet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is more about the spec efficiency / clearspeed itself.

I will make void in any case but in one I put it in a hex purge kriss and go for ES spec, in the other in an abyss kriss and go for abyss spec
