Talking boss bait travel gear

In order for me to boss farm i have to separate my arena team and log a low lvl alt to force the static location to happen. Could we make an epic boss taunting travel gear item that would say do a 50% chance or so of making a random boss happen. That way a capped arena team could still farm while grouped for arena Queue but still have a decent chance for boss farming gold?

Support. Higher probability better as even 1 or 2 mobs before the boss would negate the chance of finishing it off before arena pull. Also make it act as something like" increases odds of running into an areas boss provided you are in its static location" that would keep it less exploited by boss farming near statics and not just outside a town safe from pk's. Or add another skil in adventuring tree. By-the-by...the skill that says "shows how awesome other players think you are" , what exactly does that do? If it is like I hear, leveling it would no doubt be detrimental to any affects of this travel gear idea, or possible new skill.

For slow effects, use the slow % but as a negative.

Just repeat for multiple effects.

DO NOT multiply by 1+slow% to get your new delay. 1*1.4 is not the same as 1/0.6 and your answer will be wrong.

Boss bait gear wouldn't be purchased unless it's 100% chance, but otherwise I support it.

By the way i don't see the point of boss farming at most levels. Redwood boss gives me a max of 600k on a rush. mobs give up to 150k on a rush, and take 1/3rd the time to fight. also, mobs give me around 5-6 stacks of 96 trophs, which are worth about 5k each, and they do that every fight. So that's 25-30k gold in trophs + whatever is in chest, which because of fight duration equals out to 75-90k just in trophs in the time it takes to kill one boss. Let's say gold averages at 25k a chest, for 75k per 3 mobs. So basically, you would have to be averaging 160k per boss kill to have boss farming be worth it. Statistically, that would mean you would need at least one max/close to max gold rush every 10 fights, which is unlikely.

TL;DR- don't boss farm unless you're too lazy to loot trophies

Maybe make it a "bossbait" potion? Or something that has to be purchased and or used per guaranteed fight or timer.

I think that would satisfy the requirements and also make it less of an "exploit" type skill, since it would be somewhat of a pain if the other members of your team didn't want to have to deal with bosses.
Support. Toggle thingy for arena optionz yes.

it would be useful if you want to boss farm high enough bosses that you need a group of 3 to farm

seeing as it being needed for arena is moot at this point

We believe these are working as intended.
