heralds vs super uniques

Description

I see that many many people are complaining hard about the drop rate of the heralds. But according to Maxroll, the drop rates (e.g. Griffon) is comparable, say 1/3, to act bosses. I am not saying that people should not complain, but I am wondering what makes such a huge disagreement among the players??

Can be used to make Runewords:

I killed 5 Heralds earlier today. Got a rare normal item from one

Herald and the other 4 dropped blue items that weren't worth picking up.

I'm a very casual player. I don't care much about finding awesome stuff, it's nice when it happens, but I don't feel entitled to it. I'm just noticing that after the recent patch, the

Herald drops are consistently underwhelming.

It's one thing to get rare items that suck. At least they're worth picking up to identify. But the normal magic items? Not worth the time.

Ah well. I like the way they spawn much more.

I have definitely noticed significantly fewer drops from T5 heralds after the patch.

Before the patch, I would routinely get 3-4 uniques off a single T5

Herald. 1-2 uniques per kill and another 1-2 after horking the corpse.

Now, I routinely kill T5 heralds and they drop nothing but blues.

I also got 3 sunders in a two week period prior to the patch but haven't found *anything* noteworthy off a

Herald since the patch.

Note: My MF is 451 and 600+ after swap when horking

Will take perfect amethysts, perfect rubies, keys, statues or tokens for most of my trades

Killed numerous Heralds they all dropped garbage NOTHING of value yet. I don't chase the heralds if they pop I kill them. now that they drop them right on you is a bit much because the long string of perks they have can be the equivalent of the old Multi shot Lightning Elites you can be screwed before you even have time to get ready.

It is true that most of the heralds give trash. But isn't this the case across the game? We used to farm

Pindleskin like crazy, and it could happen that 1000 runs gives nothing. We also used to run Chaos, and a couple of hundreds of runs could still yield nothing. I just don't understand why only the heralds get the complaints.
