wow Beasts of the Prodigum Torghast Event Coming January 12

[Stan 5,240]

Beasts of the Prodigum will be unleashed upon Torghast next week. These fun modifiers will ensure the Tower of the Damned feels different once in a while.

Blizzard has 3 events planned for Torghast in the coming months. The first one's called The Beasts of Prodigum, and it is slated for the week of January 12. The events provide just another element of randomness, and you will receive no additional rewards from it.

Based on datamining, we found the following spells related to the Beasts of Prodigum event:

• Chain of Command - Calls forth Horgul, a powerful Shade Hound that can stun individual enemies and draw their attention.
• Shade Essence-Lure - Calls forth Valioc, a powerful Soul Eater that can inflict area damage and silence enemies.
• Wailing Pendant - Calls forth Nal'tari, a powerful Soul Hunter that can howl to increase allies' combat abilities.

There are also many Anima Powers that refer to a Maw Beast that you will be empowering during your runs, and it looks like everyone's getting their own pet, and the goal will be to clear Layer 8 as you usually would.

• Infused Flesh - The cooldown of your Maw Beast's special ability is reduced by 50%.
• Runic Etchings - The maximum health of your Maw Beast is increased by 50%.
• Hungering Anima - Your Maw Beast gains 100% increased damage done, but also loses 2% health every 1 sec while in combat.
• Unnatural Claws - Your Maw Beast strikes all enemies within 5 yds while attacking.
• Satchel of the Hunt - Your Maw Beast grants allies within 60 yds an additional 20% movement speed.
• Symbiotic Essence - The healing of your Maw Beast is increased by 50% and also heals you as well.
• Stygian Victuals - Your Maw Beast regenerates 2% of its health every 1 sec while not in combat.
• Anamnestic Memories - Your Maw Beast's movement speed is increased by 50% and it will attempt to retrieve loot for you after combat.
• Volatile Augury - When your Maw Beast reaches critical health, it detonates and inflicts 20% of its maximum health as Shadow damage to all enemies within 20 yds, stunning them for 3 sec.
• Collar of Teeth - Your Maw Beast's damage done is increased by 25%.

Are you looking forward to the Beasts of Prodigum event?

i didn't know they were going to add stuff to torghast. 

these changes sound like they might make running it a bit more interesting.

Guessing it'll affect normal and Twisting for this? Might make normal less samey I guess which is a plus.

It'll take a lot more than that to make me enjoy Torghast...can't stand the place.

boring .. hopefully i get good powers besides this lame beast ones . gg blizz so out of touch with the players base as usual

I actually think Torghast has amazing potential, just needs to be less grindy (18 floors is too much), more rewarding (soul ash is starting to lose its meaning as people settle on BIS legendaries) and the powers more synergistic (fun builds you can try in an 18 floor run, not so much in 8 floors)

Interesting, since I find it to be the most enjoyable part of the expansion.

Same here, I'm constantly baffled by all the negative comments. I just want more of it and WAY more challenging, so it actually pushes me to get better gear since atm I couldn't possibly care less about my item level etc.
