are nithalak runs really worth it?

I have been running him in hell a lot lately with my 87 Necro and at least my friend's 86 sorc. (often 2 others of similar level). I have not been impressed with his drops. Is this a common sentiment?

He's mainly farmed for eestruction keys which are needed to get torches. Apart from that, he's not really a good MF target, even though he's one of the few targets which can drop any item in the game, including so-called Baal charms (which can get any affix possible for charms).

BTW, he's the only human which gets killed in the game... apart from your characters and mercs

If you want some hard to find items because you have enough commun items, maybe he is worth it. (Keys can be a bonus too).

Otherwise, don't run him.

Yeah, you pretty much go after him for the destruction keys that he sometimes has in his pocket. Although I have had a CoA drop from him, but that was just plain luck.

I like running him for one main reason: Keys seem to drop from him at a slightly higher rate than the other 2 spots. And on top of that, Dest keys can often be traded 2 to 1 for other keys.

I always seem to end up with way more Dest keys than the others, and hence I can get a stellar deal by trading a couple of them off.

I like him. I did 5 runs today and got a GC and 3 D Keys. Of course it took me about 30 arcane runs just to get 1 stupid H key.

don't know if you counted them as mercs but the random barbarians running around in the siege of harrogath die pretty often
