Or is it just me, there was a point in time where running terrorized acts i could get 5+ herald solo, now its like they have nerfed thr spawns in p1 to make you have a party of people.

This can't be just me noticing this, or is it the lack of users playing?

I was thinking they reduced heralds as well, but maybe increased odds of dropping a sunder?

Possibly, but its impossible to get when you run a full act and get 1 herald, 2 times I've done this on solo games recently, act 1, and crazy act 2, act 2 should get at least 2 or 3 with tombs... but I had 1, and that was after running the scheduled tz in 2 different acts while finishing the entire act 2.

It's champs and elites for sure, but when I tz an act, I clear most trash also as you can still farm hrs

I also heard spawn chance is around 2%

If I had to guess, I'm guessing the less users doing them makes it worse for you farming as the player base is down, pc only has 800ish users on jsp from around 1509+ before, half the population, and thats just jsp, but its pointless to waste shards for 1 Herald pop

There is a (I recall seeing 7% chance) of drawing Ire of a herald when killing a Unique or Champion pack.

Yes doing anything but 4-5 acts is a waste of time if you're doing it for herald/sunder

Might be 7, buy I'm sure i heard a streamer say 2%, they need to increase herald spawns more as players taper off to keep the existing users interested, or the game will die out again until they release something to draw back the crowd

Naw bro, me and a buddy would seperate and run different acts a week ago and hit 15 heralds+ and now its total dog shit, mind you we haven't been farming together as he's back working days now.
