The loot table for troops in Sin of Maraj event chests is expected to look like this:

| Chance | Amount | Troop |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 0.11% | 1 | Queen of Sin, The Scourge of Honor |
| 3.2% | 1 | Despond, Lust, Wrath |
| 12% | 1 | Abject of Despond, Barghast, Broker of Greed, Dark Herald, Envoy of Pride, Gael Spiritwhisperer, Indolator of Sloth, Pride, The Bane of Mercy, War Machine |
| 21.6% | 1 | Glutmaw, Gluttony, Maid of Envy, Sibyl of Lust |
| 21.6% | 2 | Envy, Greed, Soldier of Wrath |
| 21.49% | 3 | Sloth |

Unfortunately, event chests have a tendency to be misconfigured, either entirely missing specific mythic troops or containing them at significantly lower than advertised odds. There is no way to know this ahead of spending, and no way to get any kind of refund. If you plan to open event chests, wait till the weekend for the community to find irregularities, this significantly reduces your risk of getting burned.

> **Trial Changes**

> We have changed the Player team for Trials in Sin of Maraj to the following:
> 
> - War Machine
> - Gluttony
> - Despond
> - The Bane of Mercy
> 
> With the Epic Trials happening this week, we wanted to give a team that would perform better at higher levels. We have also changed the Enemy Team to:
> 
> - Soldier of Wrath
> - Envy
> - Broker of Greed
> - Barghast

Old Player Team:  
Abject of Despond  
Envoy of Pride  
Despond  
Pride

Old Enemy Team:  
Barghast  
Sibyl of Lust  
Soldier of Wrath  
Wrath

The new player team looks a lot better to me.

New enemy team:  
Red/Blue  
Red/Green  
Red/Yellow  
Red/Brown

that’s some creative purple dodging lol.

I don’t know how well racing against Soldier of Wrath’s true damage is going to go for lower stat players, but otherwise everything should go smoothly.

Are we still requiring the awful doom weapon to get 2x dooms? Or is that nightmare finally over?

Edit: Guess not.

Actually, the new doomed weapon has a different mechanic as previous ones. it’s very similar to the books doomed weapons. We might enjoy using this one
