Yeah they nerfed sentinax/world mobs way, way too much. TBH they should consider reverting some of those nerfs now that the 7.2 boom is dying down and people are mostly only farming shards on alts.
Of course, that probably won't happen since Activision-Blizzard devs absolutely refuse to ever admit they were wrong with a decision.
Typical Blizzard fashion. Always one extreme or the other.
