Wasn't there supposed to be "smart loot" at some point?

I remember reading something about you ability point distribution weighing the loot that drops, was that never fully implemented?

There's an ability that can give you bonus gold

TLDR - if you put points into might then you should get more plate armor swords and hammers, if you put points into finesse then you get more leather armor daggers and faeblades, if you put points into sorcery then you get more cloth armor and magic weapons.

Wouldn't be as much of an issue if there was inventory transfer between characters but constantly getting might sets on a mage is rather annoying and waste of loot.

As part of the remaster, the devs did say they implement a feature where loot would better follow your characters build.

My guess is that like most things related to loot, it's done through a hidden weight multiplier. Unfortunately, the distribution goes through such a heavy multiplier based on the level of the item that it's unlikely that even a tremendous multiplier will impact things too heavily.

For instance, say you are playing on very hard at level 18 and you have been investing in sorcery. Now, let's say you kill a silverback troll, an enemy with an item pool that has a higher chance to pay out with uniques and set items.
Stormschyte is a level 18 chakram, and you'd think that you'd be pretty likely to get that. You'd of course be wrong, as there is a disgusting -93% chance for you to get an item, instead you are more likely to get Kezar's vices, level 20 daggers, (-40% multiplier).

Unless this wrong destiny multiplier is in excess of -85%, you are still more likely to get the daggers.


The chart is here:

I mention VH, as VH usually raises the space level to 3 level higher than your own.

I don't know either if "smart loot" was implemented in the end or not but I think it wasn't. On Very Hard I still get loot that has nothing to do with my build most of the time. Basically I see no change compared to OG there.

Maybe it will come with the new expansion, who knows.

I saw no change to the loot I was given from the original. Just like all the same bugs from the original were unchanged as well.

Gold is already useless by the mid game, I'd rather have more sets for the tree I'm invested in.
