blizzard nerf all the purple name mobs to have the same drop rates as a elite pack, before the purple elites were dropping 2-3 items, now they just drop one like every other elite. what this exploit is actually about is that there is a check point aka save spot right before a elite that u can kill exit resume kill exit resume sorta speak. This way you dont actually have to go find an elite mob with x numbers of adds or minion and from what razor is saying its a weak easy elite with low hp and slow attack.
