Nightmare Dungeons being lackluster for experience farming

At the higher World Tiers, the Ancestral and Sacred item chase becomes your primary source of upgrades. The higher acquisition rate in Nightmare Dungeons should make the endgame activity feel more lucrative.

The completion rewards for Nightmare Dungeons lacked the loot explosion feeling found in other activities or in previous incarnations of the Diablo franchise. An additional legendary drop roughly every other dungeon and the flat additional rare item drops should hopefully return more of that loot explosion feeling and help players find more upgrades for their time spent.

The shuffling of additional item drops into Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons and out of the outside world should help incentivize those activities for players.
