Why do people clear rifts instead of close and open new?

[phorentez]

Greetings Ownedcore,

The title says it all, i want a discussion going regarding leave done rifts open and clear remaining levels. I just don't understand the point :S

Can someone please explain to me why people prefere to clear the rift even though boss is all done. Instead of close and reopen new one and go go for new boss?


Thanks alot in advance,
Phorentez

Because they feel like it.

Depending on your luck most people find legendarys after the rift boss then during the entire run, so people dont want to lose the chance so they just clear it

[phorentez]

So its more a question about getting the full potential loot from your 5 rift keys ?

I don't understand why people don't clear the rifts fully and instead leave when the guardian is killed.

There are more monsters to kill and more chests to open, which I get most of my legs from.

Also, there is a potential of stumbling across a goblin party.

I'm nearly paragon 500 and I have never received anything good from the guardian.

I think part of the reason is because you actually play the game? Rather than join, kill boss leave, join, kill boss leave on repeat.

What you want is legendaries and not just blood shards.
So you kill everything inside that rit because that's where the legendaries are instead of gambling with kadala so every second you spend in a rift is an increased chance for a legendary.
Clear em all You don't wanna stop on the Guardian.

The most efficient method in my opinion is to search for high density maps. Clearing low density maps is not worth it.

Kill guardian -> go to next level to check density -> high density = clear and check next level / low density = close rift and open next

When i do rifts most of my legs are from clearing the monsters after the rift guardian and chests. So that's why I normally do the full clear.

[Hubner]

I agree with Aikeelu, when i kill the boss, if the monster density is good, i clear entire map, if isnt, i close the rift. A high density map worth the extra time.

I am pretty sure that legendarys CANNOT drop from Gray or White monsters. Only chests, champions, epic monsters and so on

I am absolutely certain that you are wrong as every single legendary I got inside a rift was either from a white mob, an intractable object, or the rift boss. No FS are not included in this count.

Truth. I've found Gryfalcons and many legs from pots. Not to mention a triple beam from white mobs last night.

Probably a lot of people just don't have many rift keys after abusing "Rift It Forward" etc. (like me ).
So they want to get the most out of their remaining rift keys.
However if you have a lot of rift keys i think it's better to open a new rift after killing the rift boss.
Doing so will grant you more bloodshards because you are killing rift bosses more frequently and Kadala is a pretty good source of legendaries in my opinion (she can now "drop" torment-only legendaries too!).

Am i rifting it forward? if so i close after boss is dead. Am i using my own keys to clear? I clear the entire thing since most legs i find are after the rift boss, its not uncommon for me to find 0 legs by the time i reach the boss and then have it rain legs. People that close after finishing the boss tend to be the ones that whine that they didnt find shit in 5+ rifts
