Default Heroic Mobs above lvl 100

so after a couple sessions heroic farming abyss it seems that the chance for an essence to drop is still to uncommon compared to the chance the mob will 1 hit ya.

i think i got 1 every 10 fights or so which were at least 5 minutes each (decent kill times with both groups) and overall between all 3 members the group got 2 ess/10 fights

Due to the difficulty it is to actually take the damage they dish out and the fact that the mobs are capable of 1 hitting even a decent build with 3k ac and the supporting skills to have close to max chance to block/parry/growl it's no where near worthwhile to attempt to farm these areas in hopes of gathering ess at a decent rate.

I would suggest like you did with the cut off where under lvl ?70? was less likely to get one as opposed to a capped toon that should average one every 1144? trophies? and create another cutoff that would allow mobs above pit or around that general mob lvl to have an increased chance at dropping heroic ess.

I can farm gob swamp with the kill times halved, double the trophies and chest gold and still gather more essence than a well setup group farming areas that are 10x more difficult than swamp.

I fully support... and tbh... I am kinda disappointed with BGT: the higher the mob lvl, the more trophies you should theoretically get, but at fungi/redwood you can already maximize your trop take w/ 3 pages of trophies. Yes, 3 pages is the right amt. because of loot timer, but the higher the level of mob, perhaps there is chances of 9x stacks, 18x, and if farming really really high... 36x stacks.

TY
