I really think bosses have some sort of nerfed unique droprate compared to other mobs. Around the time of my last post I decided to up my IIR to 100% (at the loss of 100 DPS) and have been doing Merveil and later Brutus runs since. Not a single unique from either of them. I figured Brutus might be better since I wanted a level 8 unique anyway, the portal thing works for him too, use it before upper prison entrance. Since you enter that map "in the middle" you can often find the warden's quarters much quicker than you can get through Caverns of Anger, so the runs are even faster. Anyway he drops a similar amount of rares, and probably uniques, but I never got any from him. I did however get yet another unique from a sub-boss, Sawbones. So that's 3 uniques in one night while doing boss runs... none of them from said bosses. I only fought the sub-bosses like 1/3 of the time too, so that I got 3 uniques from them in much fewer kills really makes me think the big bosses have some sort of anti-unique thing, or just hate me.
I'm probably just getting lucky then. I can do cruel now but they are slow so I haven't done enough runs to come to a conclusion yet.

This respawns everything in the Cavern of Anger, including Merveil!
That explains why Merveil didn't respawn when I waited 20 minutes in the Cavern of Anger.

Why? There really isn't anything special about what we are doing with this and it isn't offering a huge advantage to players. The only good thing about this so far, is that I found two good uniques for my marauder and he facerolled normal mode.

Lol yeah, Cavern of Anger and Merveil's room are connected, hence why you can't just exit the room after killing her and ctrl+click the entrance to respawn her. THAT would be abuse.

This is on normal with a level 35 character with 300 DPS that can oneshot most monsters with a single Whirling Blades and can kill Merveil in her second form before she finishes her starting animation (so others can judge what kind of speed differences they might have). 78% IIR and 12% IIQ.
Perhaps you should focus more on IIQ instead of IIR.
Suppose the average unboosted rate is 1 non-white item per 100 items, 12Q + 78R would be a 78% increase in the chance of 1 of the 112 items being non-white. However, 78Q + 12R would be a 12% increase in the chance of 1 of the 178 items being non-white.
