    For the mid-dungeon chests, it can be tough to roll immediately if you want to compare the item to what you already have, but you're in the midst of combat at the time. Few parties will wait for loot distribution before moving on into the next fight. I think that's why it gives you a while, and on those mid-dungeon chests it does kind of need to.

    It's mostly on the final boss's chest where the wait for it gets to be an issue. So maybe the timer for just that one could be a bit shorter.

    eh...I'm pretty sure it doesn't take more than 300 seconds to right click > compare item.

    The actual time to compare the item to what's in my armoury chest usually only takes a few seconds, but that's still longer than I'd let my character stand still in the midst of a running fight, so it has to wait until the fighting is over. That's why I specified that the concern applies only to the the MID dungeon chests, because it's the remainder of the run and all the fights involved that can take a few minutes. Of course, if the party doesn't mind waiting a moment to check if I already have something (or a better alternative to it), then I'll roll before we move on to the next fight. But most parties want to go right into the next fight immediately, and loot rolls have to wait for a lull in the action.

    Yes but it makes it extremely easy for trolls to just run off and open chests so that there's always a roll for loot timer to protect them from being kicked. That's the primary issue here.

    It can if the tank is wall to wall pulling leaving little time for breaks for people to see the loot list.

    It can take pretty long if I need to keep sprinting after tank to keep him alive. Playing on controller doesn't make it easier. But tbh even as DPS in low level dungeon I'd feel bad stopping in middle of fight to look at loot. Some filter list would be cool and reduce amount of times when I roll on item in last 60 sec.
