Gorge with 25% pack size VS Rare Gorge without packsize

I noticed that rare maps in general seem to have higher density and quantity of the mobs even if they have no pack size, "more magic monsters", etc than blue ones even if they have 15-25 pack size. So here is me asking this question - what is better?

Bump. Need answer fast

Pack size is the single best thing you can get on a map.

very unlikely.. Rarity itself has no effect, only the mods

If there's no Pack size mod, you're seeing the effects of either randomness (some monsters spawn in larger packs than others) or observer bias.

Do we have proof of that? I vaguely remember some GGG(?) quote about inherent boni for strongboxes based on the rarity of the strongbox.

... why are people extrapolating that to pack size on maps? Even rare strongboxes don't get a higher monstar density in the packs they release. I'd love if Mark came in and just confirmed that your speculation is baseless and wrong, but aside from that best-case scenario that he notices (or you could, you know, ask in the mechanics thread where this question belongs), absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

If you have an old map (of the horde) then pack size is king no matter what. But maps these days can not roll this anymore so you have to get other mods to get a little pack size. Apart from that a blue map with the same spawn types should have the same monster density than a rare map with the same mods plus another mod that does not increase the maps pack size.
