The rebalance definitely made a bunch of builds not good, it was kinda expected when they boosted boss hp.I love the new atlas, I feel like they really shoe horned builds though. Only certain things can map fast and also kill t14+ bosses in a reasonable time frame.
The 33% is something else and it was assumed it was also 33% but it feels lower, more like 20% or so.I'd love it if you can explain the 33% thing. Or point me to a source that could clear up my confusion.
Becuase i remember seeing something to the effect that you would get influence after 3 different maps and then the boss after 3 more different maps alternatively you'd have a 33% chance if you didnt run different maps.
Has not been the case.
The 33% was the chance to find a conqueror again when running the same map, but only for the under 16 part of the atlas quests. Basically at launch, for the first 16 watchstones, you had 33% chance to find conquerors, then they hotfixed quickly to 100% BUT they didn't/couldn't fix the consecutive map %, so say you popped a boss running wharf, if you ran wharf again, it wouldn't be 100% anymore, it'd be 33%, but if you ran another map in the same region, then it'd be 100% like the fix intended. They then fixed that to be 100% guaranteed even running the same map for the first 16 watchstones.
However, they haven't actually said anything for the 17+ watchstones rates I believe, and I don't think it's 33%, but I haven't really counted either.
There was a post on reddit though about getting watchstones faster, might end up being fixed though but the gist of it is, you use your normal red maps to spawn the influence as usual, but once the influence is popped, you run white maps in that region instead and you will still get the repeat encounters on white maps. So the idea is you run cheap as fuck white maps, kill a few packs to check for pops then leave. Even if it pops you can leave, it counts as soon as they show up. You do that twice and now you can run your fights as normal. This lets you speed up the process tremendously by throwing shitty white maps and not clearing them to rotate through the watchstones quickly. Good way to farm Sirius too.
Obviously if you're still leveling and shit you can also just run red maps for xp normally, it's just a good way to get done asap with watchstones if you're planning on running a full atlas or something(which is debatable since you get drops from every region, forcing you into a lot of subpar layouts). There is a trick to get only one T16 map to drop but it involves 2 accounts and this one will most likely get fixed.
