Anyone else noticed the droprate's in Rotw are much much lower then in Lod?
i alway's do my runs alone,in lod i should have gotten at least some good gear if i did like 50 runs,how ever in Rotw that chance is 0.
what are anyone else doing,running full game's?
anyone else doing solo an noticed?

i KNOW they reduced the droprate from andariel,but didnt know the rest was aswell

They definitely made changes. Last season up to release of ROTW I was using a FOH Pally that would do Countess, Arcane, Trav, Meph, Chaos, Nik, and cows. This lasted for several months. While ROTW has only been out for a couple weeks, I did make a Warlock that is now my primary for doing the same runs. Near same MF % (300+). I stopped doing Any yesterday (until it is TZ again) and question why I am still bothering with Trav & Meph.

Trav is what I really notice as I have yet to see any unique drop in 2 weeks. Meph has about 1 unique drop every 20+ runs, before I could get something crappy like The Diggler at least every 5-10 runs. Diablo has dropped in quality as well.

Overall I am seeing and sensing significantly less drops for uniques, though I am getting on average the same amount of runes.

thats the problem,you need to do p8 now in order to get good loot.Before you could do solo runs & get good drops

Your 50 or 750 runs doesn't mean anything

They lowered andy drops that's all

Found 5 hr's here and several high rares uniques too
