Judging by the records I've kept, there seems to be a very significant decrease in the number of rares dropped. Large discrepancy through many instance run tests, compared to my notes from Standard. Though it could just be a very large bad-luck streak on my end. There are no intentional changes. My instinct would be that people are merely incorrect about getting fewer drops. However I will make sure we investigate, as I would not want to miss something critical just because it was highly unlikely.

Because I'm averaging roughly 1.7 rares per instance when I go through acts 6-8, which seems very low considering how much larger many of their areas are than the current live counterparts. This is also roughly the rate I got from testing with Ridge runs. Out of 45 runs of it, The most I got from a single instance was 7 rares when I had a rough exile in the map, and had 9 instances where I had 0.

Very much looking forward to the new mtx system!! It will convert your forum titles into decorative square badges that use the space next to your forum posts more economically so that you can show off an unlimited number of them at any one time. - GGG, 2018 (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3573673)	Posted by Jerle#2906 on Jul 5, 2017, 9:39:18 PM Quote this Post
I've noticed this as well. If I don't kill every single essence mob and then use those pseudo alchs on gear I never even have a full set of rare gear before piety. You expect me to act as something I'm not? I picked this name for a reason.	Posted by Arrogant#7481 on Jul 5, 2017, 9:44:34 PM Quote this Post

Yeah, I've had two characters get to somewhere in Act 3 before getting a full set of rare gear. Not even relevant rare gear, I just intentionally picked up the first rare of each slot that I could find. One got to Crematorium, and one got to Lunaris.

Dominating blow has only been nerfed since it made its appearance in the game And it's still untouched in the beta while Melee and summoner skill got buffed Can we expect a Dom blow buff or rework in the near future ? ZiggyD is the Labyrinth of streamers, some like it, some dont, but GGG will make sure to push it down ur throat to make you like it	Posted by Sexcalibure#7575 on Jul 5, 2017, 9:58:12 PM On Probation Quote this Post
