Did the patch up the drop rate for wrathful invokers? I found my first 2 in the only 2 nightmare dungeons today. As well as someone else in the party found one. Or is RNG in our favor tonight lol?

Might be RNG? I have found several wrathful hearts since seasons launch but not one wrathful invoker.

Yeah I found like 10 the past hour whereas I found 0 before the patch

Supposedly it was 3% drop rate, changed to 15% of my source is correct

It would make sense as there is currently no purpose to Malignant Dungeons.

Yeah they released a hot fix today for hearts and invokers greatly increasing their drop and craft rates. There are patch notes on it:

That is very bizarre reading.....

- Wrathful Invokers could not previously drop but now they can. (I suppose that gives a purpose to go to malignant dungeons)
- There is now a 3 in 20 chance to get a wrathful invoker from crafting (That gives more of a reason to go to malignant dungeons)
- There is now a 1 in 10 chance to get a wrathful heart from crafting (That eliminates the reasoning altogether to go to a malignant dungeon as the amount of hearts you can salvage through general efficient gameplay outweighs both the above)

On top of that, Wrathful Hearts drop anyway from normal game play.

What the hell are the people smoking that are making these changes?

Yeah they are always going to crazy in the other direction, when "fixing" stuff.
Same with drop rate of some materials for this season.

Yes, that’s a good summary

you nailed it

/edit: also i noticed that the wrathful monster spawns are more common in nightmare dungeons - any thoughts on that one?
