Blizzard has taken note of various pain points such as Summoning Material acquisition and requirements as well as the rewards for both the Tormented versions of all the bosses and the non-Uber bosses such as Beast in the Ice or Lord Zir.
Tormented Bosses have had their Summoning Material cost reduced from five times to three times the normal amount required. In addition, the rewards for slaying a Tormented Boss are now five times the normal amount.
Boss Summoning Materials will drop from numerous activities and enemies in the game such as Elite Monsters, Whisper Caches, Treasure Goblins, and the new Hellborne enemy during Helltides.
All non-Uber Bosses such as Grigoire, Varshan, or Beast in the Ice will now have an added chance to drop an Uber Unique item such as The Grandfather.
Several Tormented Bosses have undergone balance changes to bring better parity between them and other Tormented Bosses.
With these changes, players will be able to summon Endgame Bosses with much more frequency through more varied gameplay, be potentially well rewarded with a surprise Uber Unique on their journey to the Tormented Bosses, and face off against even tougher and more rewarding pinnacle bosses than before.
