I need to farm solael-sect legs.

May the witch gods have mercy on my soul because I've heard horrible things about getting these pants with decent affixes on them.

You mean that one Reddit post? Turns out that math was calculated with the base rate of getting a rare affix from a normal mob on Normal difficulty, not a boss in Ultimate. It's much higher that what the thread claims.

That's the monster I think I've died to more often than any other in the game. Okay I don't do superbosses or Celestials, but even so that one is always me saying to myself "Is this going to kill me and ruin my so far no deaths."

just run crucible or shattered realm, got plenty of em back in the days.

I had around 300 kills of Dreeg and 200 kills of Solael on HC Ult around 2 years ago, i was looking for Dominator or Formidable with godd affixe, but didnt get anything rly cool. Anyway i dont use these pants on any character currently. I think you always can get something better from Nemesises or Legendary.

Blasphemy!

It's not that bad. I have at least 40 of em now. You should make a fire skater char for farming. It's a long walk, so it's perfect for a Fire skater to farm. Only takes maybe 2 minutes each run with it. My vanquisher fire skater died recently, but luckily I had a shieldbreaker to replace him, just without the vanquisher set, and he's actually stronger than my vanquisher one lol. Still sad about it though cuz he was up to 150k kills. I don't think I'll ever get those last two achievements.

With the new patch, he drops them every single run. So don't rely on SR for em. You MIGHT get one with each SR run, but you're guaranteed to get one with each guardian run and it's much much faster. (And safer, but I assume you're not on HC, so that risk doesn't matter much)

the pants are 100% drop now
it has higher likelihood of dropping with rare affix now
it drops in a "dangerous domain", which gives it additional increased chance of rare affix
now, if you're for some reason really snobby with the affixes you want, and or demand double rares, while then also demanding 2 specific double rare affixes, then yes it will probably be quite the grind
but under reasonable circumstances, with the huge 1.2 drop boost, it should not be something to sweat over and "worry in advance" about

Oh ♥♥♥♥, neenah??? I played a show there once like 18 years ago in some coffee shop. They make the manhole covers there. Was such a fun time. Just a bunch of metal kids cramped in some coffee shop shoulder to shoulder surrounding us singing along to Misfits covers.

Yup, that's the place.

Oh sweet 1.2 buffed the drops? I wasn't aware.

I don't really care about getting specific double rates with the best affixes, I just want one with good resists.

Last time I played this game was many years ago and I only half remember doing some wild grinds, if they're making it less grindy that's great!

lots have changed over the years, aside from general drop increases, the recent 1.2 update then also changed it so all bosses with a (single) green MI in loot would become 100% drop
Game has gotten waaay less grindy, and 1.2 upped it that "final" notch - i personally wonder(ed) if perhaps 1.2 made the game "too" generous
(coming from someone that in general like the generosity updates/dislike ex Diablo 2 grind, but still felt perhaps stuff was becoming too "freebie" in 1.2?)
another example is boss legend MIs, many of them had their drop rate straight up doubled, Magi rings kinda feel like they're dropping like candy now
