This season is definitely not it. When I heard Belilal was announced as an extra boss, and that he would have a better drop rate than other bosses, I was pretty excited.


Last night, 100 runs total, no uber unique. No good or worthy 3-4 ga uniques.

Im looking at the trade posts and people are charging a good amount for 10x runs.

I thought exhalted boss was meant to be luxurious and exclusive. The ONLY good thing about this boss is that you don't have to see him dig a hole and dilly dally for 10 seconds like Duriel would or go through phases.

This is the most miserable ground I ever felt in a Diablo game.

How are you going to advertise Belial as a exhalted boss but make him have the same shit drop rate as all other bosses?

Noone has the exact droprate cheat sheet on every boss. Blizzard never announced any droprate number. You got charged good because few days ago that mats were rare. Now they’re not. 100 per 10 runs isn’t that expensive tbh.
But you’re right on point with all that extra phase. What a bummer that was. If you think duriel is horrible, try the dog guy(forgot his name), that dog is madness

I'd be 100% ok with phases if the drop rate was increased. I get that they don't want people to face tank the bosses. But they kept the horrible drop rates the same or even lower and made bossing a miserable experience.

To be fair, bossing experience is only applied if you’re playing an off meta build. I’ve been buying runs from necro, barb, rogue. Playing a sorc myself. I’m sure i’m the only one who felt miserable rather them guys clicking 3 buttons and been collecting fg since day 1.
Regardless of what i said, the bossing exp is somewhat changed in a bad way. I don’t mind the low droprate, actually enjoy it myself, giving me high dopamine if i get one. But i rather they remove them stupid mats that dupers can easily exploit on to make money off everyone. Make bossing free, lower the droprate more if they want is my idea

Rng going to rng.

I don’t have a fair scope on the matter as up until this season I played hota and could always just smash, got GF really early on last season.

The phases have for the most part rendered my play style almost useless, so once I got powers havent really been back to those ones that have forced phases.

I carried 9 people last night to anywhere between 10-30 runs of Belial. Of those people, 6 of us got Mythic Uniques, 1 person got 2 3ga items and the other two, just got a ton of materials.

Your group composition matters. When you killed the boss, did you mind the tooltip and see that you have increased drops for a full group? Or did you just go in, and they killed it with just you two? If so, you're better off asking in Trade chat if anyone has materials and would like to have a free kill of the boss, to increase your drops as well.

Sorry to hear you're not enjoying the season. End game should be considered T3. T4 is only for those that have the right specs and enough time to grind. There is no difference between T3 and T4 other than a few more items, and more of a headache. If you can farm T3, spam T3 and enjoy it.
