I took a look at the drop rates in the game files after trying for bloodsworn vestments and solael-sect legs for hours with no luck and I believe the drop rates have been significantly reduced.
The equip chance is the same I believe. It’s the actual affix weights that seem approx 3x worse. I believe the difference post expansion is the introduction of 40% chance the MI will be a broken item (and so evaporate) and the chance for one rare and one normal affix has been halved.
From my calculations 1 in 1000 doomsayers will drop a one rare and one normal affix MI vest. Hero and cult captains are 1 in 500.
Approx 1 in 100 solael guardians will drop one rare and normal affix MI leg.
I can’t confirm if they have in fact been reduced as the extraction of game files post expansion overwrote the prior database. Wish I had kept a copy.
Maybe my memory of what the numbers used to be is just incorrect. Anyone else feel like they are worse?
