Don't know about you guys, but last night I had an very, very high amount of yellow drops when I had 5 stacks. I was averaging 3 yellows per elite kill (either the individual rare yellow miniboss or the 3 pack of champions) in Act 2 instead of the normal 1 or 2 yellows that drop.
Never seen as many rares drop as I did last night. Not that it should matter or make a differnce, but I had a ton of bosses last night that were using that damn shield where you couldn't damage them for a while. The kills took about 2 minutes longer than I had been averaging due to what seems like every elite pack using invulnerable shields ... at least there were no invincible/invulnerable minions but with those shields up and rotating it certainly reminded me of them. |
Speaking of rare drops with 5NV

invincible/invulnerable minions was removed from the game.
I get 1 to 2 yellows per Elite pack when I farm normal mode. when I farm Inferno Act I/II, I often get 3 (and even 4 or 5) Rares per pack. You just need +150% MF at least. |

@venoom
I heard about them being removed and am very glad they were toasted but simply trying to say just about every elite pack I hit last night was using shields as one of their affixes ... seemed like damn near everyone had shields and vortex last night - and not a one had desecrator. |

I noticed this today as well. Everything filled up so quickly. Pulled in a few good items. Look for a selling post coming soon for cheap.

@baccarat0809 could be RNG again :)
my first try of Act II Inferno with a friend, we only met horrible packs, almost all of them had Reflect+Mortar, I couldn't believe my bad luck (till I saw the repair bill) |

Elites, in general, drop a max of 3 Rare items. With 5 stacks of NV and 0% MF otherwise, you'll see 1 Rare (the NV rare) drop about 66% of the time. 2 rares drop about 31% of the time and 3 rares drop about 3% of the time. At 313% MF including NV, you'll see 1 Rare drop about 35% of the time, 2 Rares drop about 51% of the time and 3 rares drop about 14% of the time (4 rares possible, but probably less than 1% of the time). Courtesy of the Magic Find Study.
To say just about every mob was dropping 3 rares means you were just having an extremely luck night. :) |
