Tier 2 rifts have a proper champion miniboss that’s much tougher to kill so I think it’s only an issue with T1s (and those are meant for < 5 players anyway). My bigger possible issue is with rewards since I’m still not sure why are we closing them, at least PoF had the new armors, elegy mosaics, trade contracts in addition to regular drops like unids and money.

I can help you with that! The Essences are used in legendary armor crafting for the PvE legendary armor.

  Thanks but I said as much already in the main post above ( “do we know if they are actually used for anything besides crafting the new legendary armor once it’s available in 9 months?”). I already have legendary armor from raiding so I’m not interested in this one, and considering the essences are accountbound I’m not sure what are they good for to me.

Okay that seems plausible, just wish the pre-event was shorter then.

Out of curiosity, have you unlocked the astral ward masteries? My guess would be that you need the rifts to get the non legendary armor unlocked by the madtery.
