There is no way I pulled the same Rebirth Champ 3 times

I have pulled Sabretooth (the worst rebirth champ) not once, not twice, but three times. HOW IN THE EFFING WORLD.
What are the odds of this? Please ENOUGH with these crystals, we loved the gatcha or whatever their called things. Bring that back, not crystals where we have to pull the same exact champ every single freaking time.

And why exactly would they make them gatcha boxes every time? They make way less money from them.

No way.

Way.

he is not the worst, you forgot about Night Thrasher

That sig 40 though...

heehee

I pulled Apocalypse 4 times in a row from the heart of fire event. Almost quit the game after that happened 😂

but in all seriousness I get it. That rework event during the holidays I pulled Diablo 4 times in a row. Wasn’t as bad as the guy who got him all 6 times on here, but wasn’t a good feeling

I’m sorry, that’s awful. I pulled him once and that was enough. Not sure why they included him. I get the designer had a narrow mandate for the tune up but he just needed more to be worthwhile in today’s game. Mutants like Toad and Jubilee would’ve been more exciting as 7* releases without needing a ton of work. My condolences on your pulls.

Do I say screw it and take my one and only Rebirth champ to Rank 4? Or do I pout and never touch Sabretooth, leaving him as a benchwarmer?

There is no in-between for me.

Sabretooth is by far the worst champ in this pool, and it’s not even close

That's what happens when you dump $100 on a mediocre event, especially when we're three months away from the Cyber weekend deals. Just look at this as a learning curve lol not much you can do or undo.

Sabretooth is in a completely different league in terms of being ass compared to NT, that is incorrect. NT when properly ramped has big damage AND utility with that true accuracy taunt incinerate immunity and purify so while he'll probably be terrible for BGs he will probably have his uses in AW and everywhere else. Sabretooth is all damage zero utility, and the little utility he has is not only locked behind sig 200 but it's also useless because he has no way to counter Yelena and Bullseye, the two champs that ability is supposed to counter.

Funny story, a new thread just before this one says r4 sabretooth slaps. So, which is it?

I know. But still. Always someone who's happy with thier pulls lol.

I'm sure Sabretooth does slap at 7* R4, full suicides, fully ramped, in ROL…

Just one last rant on what they could have done to make him relevant in what he was designed for; QUESTS.

First is give him some kind of utility, here's some ideas:

When gaining a Fury effect, also gain a true accuracy passive for 10 seconds.
Each fury effect reduces damage taken from bleed effects by 15%.
(This drives me up a wall) Increase the ability accuracy of bleed to 100% on special attacks, no reason it should be less than that. Plus his sig should increase ALL ability accuracy by the given amount.

One more thing that should have been fixed is his persistent charges. He can lose an entire quest ramp up after just a few fights. Imagine taking this guy to Necro only to have to restart his ramp every other fight. My idea was instead implement:

"Lick Your Wounds" prefight: Sabretooth gains two persistent charges (one that gets consumed at fight start to activate persistent furies, the other to help build up lost persistent charges). When this prefight is selected, Sabretooth no longer activates combo furies, instead he activates a passive regeneration effect that heals 5% missing health over 10 seconds.

Not only can this help to build up lost persistent charges over a quest, but also allows you to fight a boss fight that maybe you can't solo? Instead you have to go in a couple times, this way you can keep those furies you just spent all quest building! Only downside is your damage will stay the same, so to balance that, you gain a little health. Not overpowered but helps Sabretooth do what he was designed to do and it MAKES SENSE.

Maybe it's some stupid ideas and look, I know they didn't have forever to do these buffs but come on, don't put Sabretooth in the same crystal as some of these other champs like Cull or Anti-venom and then BUFF them.

The two champs I pulled from my two Rebirth crystals I got after finishing the Crucible were Sabretooth and Night Thrasher :(

Odds aren't that terrible.

Pulling sabretooth three times is 1/196.

Pulling any rebirth champ three times is 1/36.

Considering how many people play this game, not hard at all.

Where do you get 3 crystals from?
