Etos nerf

dantragb

After running around 50 Etos in the last week I haven't gotten anything out of the end box except the salvage and seals just wondering if this was happening to everyone or if my already fabled negative rng has dropped even more.I use to guarantee that I would drop a companion or mount after 20 runs (ish) but now nothing.

It's funny. I have had the same exact experience as the OP, but I've heard several players say the same thing as @tiberiusrex#6660. I don't know, guys. I feel like my EToS runs are definitely getting far less salvage from bosses and extra drops from the chest, and it sure does reek of nerf to me.... but I also seriously doubt so many people would say it has always been like that for them if that wasn't the case.

Only the RNG gods know the truth.

Best Salvage run zones:

1) T9
2) CN
3) FBI
4) eToS


T9 is the best dungeon for salvage runs. I average around 2-4 pieces of gear per a run without the extra key. With the extra key it is 1 piece more. T9 is also great to earn AD from the AH.

CN is also good for salvage runs as is FBI. Both of those dungeons drop some good purple gear to salvage.

If I'm burned out from running those 3 dungeons, I will run a few eToS on my tank for salvage, otherwise I'm on my CW or DC doing T9 about 85% of the time and the other 15% is in FBI.

Not only etos is nerfed,lol. Upgrading a rank 10 enchantment consumed 50 pres wards+ 2 days ago..... must be an overall nerf..;)

I agree with that except for 4. because imo elol and shores are both better lol.

tong is the best for salvage.. but it's so stressful compared to the others. it's not a relaxing thing to run. and if the same group that were to run tong were to run cn they'd probably be doing cn runs in 7 minutes or better lol. I've never ran cn with a tong group. I kinda want to now. which would make cn the best for salvage because of how many runs you could get in the same time.

so I'd say

1. cn
2. tong
3. fbi
4. shores
5. elol
6. ecc
7. all the other dungeons
8. then etos. hehe

T9 is a cake walk. Just to prove a point we did a none companion run and beat it with me as the DPS on my CW in 35 minutes. Same group typically does it in about 28 minutes or less. It is stressful only due to many players not know the mechanic or players simply lacking the correct build to get the most DPS out of their character.

I have ran with some 17-18K players that were just horrible as a DPS. I was running my CW as a full buffer/debuffer and was pulling out 3x their damage and some of the character were Combat HR, GWF, etc.... I have seen plenty of great DPS but for every 3-4 that are well verse at playing their class you have almost as many that just were carried through content without really learning their class. That is where my stress exist in T9. Getting a group into T9 and finding out our DPS is HAMSTER really makes T9 stressful, otherwise it is a cake walk for me.

As for elol and shores; I never really walked away from either dungeon feeling like wow I got some good AD to salvage. I find eToS better. The bosses in eToS seem to drop the loot more often than what I get from any dungeon that is not CN, FBI or T9.

MPSC is another one to consider if you like being stressed out moreso than T9.
