We ran Demonweb last night to complete the saga. The 4 of us pulled a total of 7 Spidersilk Robes in Trial by Fury. Not exaggerating. Exact count was 7.

We did go out of our way to get all the chests that could spawn though. Actually, we skipped the Trial of Might drider (Shufarix?) that we killed in the very beginning.

Ran EH Wizking = Some scrolls. Buggerall in the chests.
Ran EH Servants = More scrolls + vendor trash.
Found Garamol = Vendor trash.

Bauble ? That's good news, I'll give it a try tomorrow.
5 years of playing and only have it on cleric, and that was goddamn close to 50 runs plus inviting pugs to pull.
Sure will come handy on melees.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

Whats the point to increase the drop rate when we have like 10 guys playing this fucking game at same time?
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

Correction: Turbine is sitting on their collective ass to make it happen. 

Everyone will quit for their own reasons, for me it's going to be lag.  I've been playing for over 6 years, I remember when it was not at all uncommon to have to wait and try again for a log in because the servers were legitimately full.  Lag was NEVER as bad back then with 20 times the players as it has been over the last year.

Turbine is just too damn lazy to get shit fixed.  Lazy code work, to lazy to respond to tickets, to incompetent to work out the bugs.

        Drop rates on named quest items in Invaders!.
        Drop rates on items in Garamol's chest in The Subterranean.
        Drop rates on items in Restless Isles.

Although we probably fucked up like usual, only raised the drops rates on a few of the list, actually lowered the drop rates on some of the more rare items just to fuck with the players, and of course inadvertently increased and decreased the drop rate of every item in the game. But whatever who cares, I have 13 resumes in already with companies that don't expect the next World OF Warcraft on a fucking flash game budge.

[sarcasm]Because Turbine's release notes are always complete and accurate.[/sarcasm]

I'm saying that I saw more named loot from the chest of dissappointment in my last 5 runs then I did in the previous 40. I don't care if noobs like you believe me.

Now do the same for wizzy and pally.
Demonweb and High Road items drop like candy.
That shit had no value for a long time tho so /shrug.
