wow Torghast Torment System Reworked in Patch 9.1

[Stan 5,021]

Torghast Torments have been completely reworked in Patch 9.1 and work similar to Mythic affixes. Check out the negative effects they bestow upon you!

The number of active Torments during the run is based on Layer difficulty. 

• 1 Torment: Layer 6, 7
• 2 Torments: Layer 8, 9
• 3 Torments: Layer 10
• 4 Torments: Layer 11
• 5 Torments: Layer 12

You can remove two Torments through the Box of Many Things and the Freed from Torment perk. Here are the new Torments that we found in the game. They all seem to share a certain "negative Anima Power", and rarely, a "kiss/curse effect" property.

Note that the list may be incomplete and some Anima Powers may not be actual Torments.

• Avenger - Enemies grant nearby allies increased haste on death.
• Backup - Torghast Bosses are granted a powerful ally to assist them in battle.
• Claustrophobic - When 5 or more enemies are within 10 yards of you, they deal 10% increased damage.
• Cursed Souls - Soul Remnant's blessing is significantly empowered. However, every blessing received also lowers your Stamina by 1%.
  • Soul Remnant's Curse - Stamina reduced by 1%.
• Disadvantage - Inflicts 30% less damage receives 30% less healing. Health reduced by 30%.
• Final Hour - Start the run with 0 lives remaining. An additional life can be found once per floor inside of Ashen Phylacteries.
• Hardened - Non-elite enemies have 25% increased health.
• Lockdown - While in combat your location is periodically bombarded, dealing Physical damage and slowing you.
• Raging - When non-boss enemies are brought below 30% health, they gain 50% increased damage.
• Reinforced: Commanding - Elite enemies grant nearby non-elite enemies increased health and reduced damage taken.
• Reinforced: Doom Conduits - Elite enemies periodically summon Doom Conduits while in combat.
• Reinforced: Follower of Klontzas - Elite enemies can cast Lesser Subjugations.
• Reinforced: Reflective - Elite enemies periodically gain a Reflective Shield while in combat, reflecting all incoming spells for 5 seconds.
• Reinforced: Unstoppable - Elites begin with a shield that cancels 1 stun or interrupt effect used while they are casting a spell.
• Shoplifter - Brokers are hostile. Defeat them for extra rewards.
• Supernatural Power - Unnatural Power is significantly stronger.
• Terminal - Maximum health reduced by 1% every 60 seconds. This effect is reset on floor completion.
• Thanatophobia - When brought below 40% of your maximum health, become horrified for 3 seconds. This effect can only occur once every 2 min.
• Tricks and Traps - Traps deal massively increased damage and are more commonly found.
• Twisted Magic - Magic damage done increased by 15% for ALL players and enemies.
• Twisted Strength - Physical damage done increased by 15% for ALL players and enemies.
• Volatile Doom - Enemies have a chance to leave a Doomed Soul Remnant on death. After a brief delay, it explodes, dealing Shadow damage immediately and over 10 sec to nearby enemies.

Torghast needed some motivation changes to attract more, even casual solo players instead of that they made it interesting for ~1% hc players... lol.

The problem with this one is if you decide to pick up the power ups like Erratic Howler, Finger of Frozen Fury, Flame Jet, Lens of Elchaver, Lightning Dust, and etc and stack said powers you have zero control over the proc rate which in turn can reflect that damage right back at you within a blink of an eye to the point of one shotting yourself with just one auto attack.  And if you are melee you might be forced to wait on defensive cooldowns before tackling the next boss or set of trash.

My guildie got one shot by her own earth shock trying last week so this will be fun...

I agree here, if Thorgast only give soulash it's not fun to go... Yes I know on 9.1 we can share soul ash to alts, that's a good addition, but still... give us more good reasons to run Thorgast

It does look like their adding some cosmetics, there's also the horse for doing the last layer 5 star / gem / w.e. Plus the soul ash thing maybe

 

My question there tho, is will soul ash reset with 9.1?
