    So you've got roughly 30% TIVs on ilvl90 gear? It now bonds in expert dungeons at about 8 times the rate it bonded before. If you get a good group, you can bond a set in 90 minutes.

    It's not 8x as fast as before, and the speed was never a problem to begin with.

    It is 8x as fast in expert dungeons, and it was definitely a problem before there.

    Just did an expert and used a couple penta melded i90s I had that weren't done. Got 36 and 35% on them. Somewhere in the range of double to triple previous rate. Definitely wasn't a problem there before, and considering the loss of rewards it's definitely not an overall improvement.

    So you were getting 12-18% on expert dungeons before with 5 melds? Doesn't make since when I was getting 4% on 2 melds pre-patch.

    I was getting 12% on triple melded stuff pretty easily so yeah.

    Edit: And syrcus tower my i95 tremor axe penta melded was about 25% on a run before this change. There was absolutely no problem in binding rate.
