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:

you killed any heralds?
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.xuehang1985 wrote: 12 hours agoI see that many many people are complaining hard about the drop rate of the heralds.

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.
At least from my experience since the patch, both in kills and from horking them, their drops are now significantly worse than a normal elite and generally just blue trash.xuehang1985 wrote: 9 hours agoIt is true that most of the heralds give trash.

That's not only a massive nerf from pre-patch, really only based on PTR specific "excessive loot issues" caused by the 2- Herald-insta-spawn that isn't a thing anymore anyways.
But it also seems to be significantly worse than what they had actually announced with their "drops like a super unique".
Those two are then likely where the complaints are coming from.
This. We are not only talking about drop reality, but expectation management. If Heralds are heralded as the next big thing, but the drops after a chain of 15 Heralds amount to 15 Pindleskin or Eldritch runs on bad days, while being significantly harder to defeat than those, it's underwhelming, to say the least.Schnorki wrote: 2 hours agoAt least from my experience since the patch, both in kills and from horking them, their drops are now significantly worse than a normal elite and generally just blue trash.xuehang1985 wrote: 9 hours agoIt is true that most of the heralds give trash.

After killing about 40 of them since 3.2 dropped (1 sunder drop from a Herald and 1 sunder from a random champion), they seem to be one-drop wonders or no-drop disappointments. Sunder or nothing. Like The Summoner ( Key of Hate or nothing)
