Elite packs (Champion/Rare) now drop an additional item for players with 5 stacks of Nephalem Valor, which is guaranteed to be of Rare quality It's used to be 1-2 right? now an additional must be 2-3 or am I wrong at math? | ||

Where the hell does it say "We have added an extra rare to elite packs" Read the preview notes again. If you read CAREFULLY, it stated that the TWO guaranteed rares from a bosses from a FULL NV STACK has been reduced to ONE. HOWEVER, the ELITE PACKS now drop a GUARANTEED *ONE* RARE AT FULL STACK. Pre-1.0.3. it was never guaranteed elite packs would drop a rare at full stack. Now it is. 1.0.3.: ONE guaranteed rare per elite pack at FULL NV. ONE guaranteed rare per boss at FULL NV. User was warned for this post | ||

They didn't just guarantee one of the drops would be a rare. He was wrong that elites had a guarateed rare before the patch. They could drop only blues. But they did add an extra rare item to elite packs in this patch. Ps. Excessive Caps usage like that can be annoying. | ||

And I frigging give up on Ghom for now. It's impossible. At least for a Wizard. I heard Barbs can tank it with enough resists and LoH. | ||

That's a big diference. That means when you are getting 3 rares, you would have gotten only 2. Guaranteeing one rare would mean that you still got the same amount of items, but one of them would be rare 100% of the time. Not only it that would be a worse change for you, since it's basically -1 item drop per elite, it would probally make MF less usefull, since you only increased the chance of upgrading one of your drops, while now you still have the chance of upgrading both of them. | ||

Maybe we have a miscommunication here. I never said one item was replaced from the table. I am just confirming that elite packs will drop a rare always at full stack post-1.0.3. | ||

I am just confirming that elite packs will drop a rare always at full stack post-1.0.3. It's two things, first you previously said "Blizzard never added an extra rare to elite packs", which is basically what they did. So it's not exactly surprising I thought you meant something else. Then there's the misconception that MF makes you find more magic/rare/legendary items, when what it does is make the items that drop have a better chance of being of a higher quality. It's not really a huge issue, but some times you can see people testing MF and having wrong conclusions because they don't see an increase on the amout of drops. It's just better to put things is words that are easily understandable. Guarateeing one of your drops to be rare means just that, guaranteeing one of the items that drops is a rare. Adding an extra item makes it clear is a completelly diferent mechanic unrelated to MF. | ||
