Azmeri Spirits loot still does not seem correct.

I have all atlas bonuses for azmeri spirits. I maximize the amount of spirit-touched monsters killed before possession. I have 120% player rarity and, after bonuses, my maps have anywhere from 40%-100% increased quantity and 100%-200% increased map rarity. I have killed enough possessed monsters to already collect dozens of each regular talisman as well as a handful of the new chase ones.

And yet, I have yet to see a single unique item come from a possessed monster. Sacred spirits like fox and hare also don't seem to increase loot drops of the possessed monster. They drop talismans, but never any unique item.

I play SSF and have been target-farming for a rite of passage. I know this is extremely rare enough that I may never see one - I understand. But I started recording how many possessed monsters in a row I could kill before one would drop *any* unique item and to my surprise i never got one. Not one unique. Meanwhile on every map I routinely fill an inventory of uniques from other rare monsters.

I know people tinfoil about random things in this forum but it actually does feel like azmeri spirits are *lowering* the rarity on possessed monsters, not increasing it. Please take another look into azmeri spirit loot.

Furthermore, the spirit mechanics are awful. They often seek targets on the other side of the map. Multiple spirits DO NOT target the same rare even if they're of different colors and the same target should be eligible to receive both. Trying to escort the spirit close enough to a target and stand around waiting for the possession while everything's attacking you, is extremely unfair. I hate how the wisp forces me to follow it so I have to stop what I'm doing. This is definitely the worst mechanic in poe2 right now.

Unique (orange) spirits don't seem to drop any talisman at all. I killed like 20 of them and no single drop of unique talisman

SAme for me, I have been farming azmeri spirits for more than 50 maps and not a single drops.

Ever since I've finished the campaign, I haven't seen a single Talisman. I am on tier 6 maps right now.

I lost interest chasing Azmeri spirit. They drop garbage things.

In fact i think the Azmeri spirit should make the boss 4x harder but also the rewards should be in god level otherwise why chasing? It is possible to die with unexpected death without getting nothing even if you kill the boss.

I lost interest in spirits, too. Too dangerous, not rewarding enough. It is bs and screws up the runs.

Most of time is waste of time...

I want Azmeri make boss like breach boss but give 99% valuable items, like spirit uncut 20 or rare unique items,new coming runes or at least 100k gold coin.

I stopped either chasing them.

Azmeri spirits was a good idea but bad executed.

It suppose to make rare monster tough and give some special rewards but either of the two are well implemented.

Especially if you play with spear it feels like killing a common monster and this is classical balance issues in damage.

Lost interest too chasing them but overall lost interest of most things in game like crafting or playing pinnacle bosses.

99% of the time there is no difference between killing a haunted rare and a regular rare. Occasionally you get a talisman. The entire mechanic is worthless.

I also feel the same, never felt rewarding or even changing something at all... tried several dozens of time.
