Why did I get surrounded by so many treasure goblins?

I think I'm starting to ask too many stupid questions about treasure goblins.

I was slashing some mobs in the first level of a Nephalem Rift with a friend (it was like 3 minutes after we started), and suddenly:

Yes : 9 treasure goblins at the same place.

Is this normal?

Best Answer

Definitely normal. I think these probably occur in one of 20 to 30 games. They will only occur inside of a rift.

If you can kill a significant amount of them then it is usually a lot of fun (screenshot will come when I get back to the computer it is on). If you are playing above your level it can be discouraging to only kill one or two.

From what I have seen there does not seem to be a pattern to these groups forming with regards to people, levels, the type of game, etc.
