Patch 3.2 now

I really crunched the game today to get a feeling for the changes.

Played around 8 hours non-stop.

I found a Sunder charm at the first

Herald, and from then on, nothing but loads of DOGSHIT. It is true, you run into a

Herald every 5 minutes. But it still is just ass. Best drop was a

Harlequin Crest near the end of my session.

At this precise day, the game dropped as many shards as in the last month. What in the sweet name of Baal's balls shall I do with all that stuff? Waste them on boss runs??

Holy moly, Blizzard is dancing circles around the middle ground tree...

Shards (and uniques) are dropping super often in my TZ games now. Found Titan's twice within an hour... oO

Herald loot really is kind of crap now..and it is a bummer that they got even easier.
Then again, I guess if they don't even drop real loot anymore, they might as well be easier, that just lines up.

Just ran through one act plus a couple rotation TZs in between.
Ended up with 28 heralds.
One

Bone Break so yay for that.
Apart from that, one single unique and even the rares I can count on one hand with a finger left over.

I get not going through with the mad drops they offered on the PTR. Though even those wouldn't have been as impactful since the 2-

Herald-instant-spawn is gone again. But they really do feel significantly worse than they used to be. "About the same as a unique" feels like it isn't even remotely accurate as they seem significantly worse.
(Not just based on those 28 but also on ~P8 sharding since the patch hit.

On a side note, the Megademons from the

Pit of Acheron will now give you a Lvl 15

Salvation aura upon being consumed.

If the demons don't have an aura when they get bound, they roll a random selectable aura.

After respeccing my Firelock to have 20 hard points in

Bind Demon, I was looking for a

Vile Mother with a

Thorns aura in a 5 player TZ 96. Binding only normal versions, I had 8 with

Vigor, 4 with

Concentration, 1 with

Fanaticism, 1 with

Holy Freeze and finally the one with

Thorns I was going for.

I already started to think they were hard locked on

Vigor alone.
