Are we expecting a higher drop than Ethreal now?
A new even better rarity?
Probably not, given that Ethereals are already so rare and if there is no new difficulty there isn't all that much content to go through to get drops. Unless they come up with really good new set bonuses and exclusive rolls, it's not going to be worth it, except for the most obsessed min/maxers.
I'd assume that we will get better drop rates for Ethereal gear playing The Abyss (whatever it turns out to be) and if they add options to create/modify Ethereals (e.g. switch the “Grace of X”) the required items probably will drop in that mode as well. I just can't see them implement normal crafting with either more divine, or potential ethereal fragments, since that completely defeats the point of making the drop rates as low as they are atm.
Though if they make crafting more viable again for BiS gear… plz Team Ninja do something about the + Level Soul Matching to get weapons up to the + Levels of your fodder. I don't mind the fact that getting something from +26 to +30 is somewhat tedious, since it's basically “overgearing”, but getting something from base to a usable level is annoying. Just raise it by half/third the (ceiled) plus level difference, or something.
