Now im curious.
How many Templars did you all find before finally getting Tyraels??
Barring for-sure templars like pindle's.
I use my Tyrael's on my merc for my Baal running FO/FB Sorceress. She wear's nature's peace and together, every enemy that dies has RIP applied so you don't have to worry about wave 2 resurrecting stuff.
28 IK Soul Cages (all sources)
6 Templars (one from Pindle)
0 Tyraels
Depressing I know...
Hmm, I thought that all uniques of that kind are added to the list and if Tyrael's is rolled up, Pindleskin will drop a failed unique, but I'm not 100% sure. It sounds a bit wrong that e.g. monsters with a low level have lesser chances to drop unisue rings and amulets because the ones with high qlvls will produce a failed unique.In Pindle's case the uniquelvl of Tyrael's is too high and hence the game never adds it to that list. So the only thing on that list is Templar's.
I have found 2x sanders caps in the last 3 weeks. One in hell cows and one from trav. still no infernal capThe problem with failed unique rings is that you cannot identify them as such .
This question is so specific that I don't trust all sources equally, so I haven't given up yet with being right at the end . I'm tending towards what you said, however.
I made a few normal Coldcrow runs, a level 7 super-unique that can produce TC3 items only (apart from the usual junk) and has the highest chance to drop a set or unique cap (except for the Cow King, but he could drop Sander's as well). In the very first run, I found the Infernal cap right away, but no cap at all in the next 20. Then I lost patience because it's not vey rewarding.
