Wisps are not rewarding?

So, I dunno what's going on and maybe this gets better in end game but during the campaign the wisp mechanic seems incredibly unrewarding.

I don't just mean like.. the extra rewards aren't enough.. but it seems more like you get LESS rewards from letting a wisp possess a rare than if you just killed the unpossessed rare.

Typically, where I'm at a rare will drop some gold stacks, one or two currency/runes at minimum, and 3 to 4 magic/rares. Possible a skill gem/support to cut.

If I let a wisp reach a rare, killing the other enhanced enemies along the way, that rare will now drop one to two white/blue items, and nothing else.

I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this, because right now it just makes more sense to begin the wisp encounter and then walk away from it so it dissipates and then the rare will drop MORE loot than if you did the mechanic. This isn't even factoring in the risk of the enemies being more dangerous, just strictly from a loot standpoint the wisps seem to make enemies drop less loot.

Cruel act 1 wisp loot

Killed a rare mini"boss" under wisps, got some useless blue item, total waste of time.

Wisp = 90% bactracking in empty ( cleared ) space.
Such silly and annoying mechanics.

Endgame isn't any better. The only thing you get from the possessed rare is a very small chance to get one of the new socketables. That's it. It won't drop more items, nor will any of the enemies it touches on the way. It doesn't matter if it touches one enemy or 100.

yeah whisps do literally nothing except sometimes abit gold. pretty useless sadly because at first i thought they could be potential loot pinatas

"Fixed a bug where some players were feeling rewarded. Everyone should be equally miserable now"

yep, totally pointless game mechanic.

So much of the optional content is unrewarding. And the main content is pretty unrewarding too. If loot ever gets buffed, wisps may be worth the time.

i hunted and specically left 1 Rare mob up in a map with a whisp,

took my time to kill nothing bar the rares.

by the time the whisp got to a rare in a T1 Map,

it was empowerd 200%,

it dropped 3 blues and a fracturing orb.

took me 5 minutes to kill it, it was a HP sponge.

Risk V Reward this patch is very very crap/skewed to the point where you dont even care what drops as its trash, and you are better of looking for currency only and hitting up trade site.
