The Cathedral of Pain can give you a Penumbra of Rularuu incarnate component, equivalent of 4 Incarnate Shards.

Yeah, and an ITF can give you an ancient nictus fragment AND 8 shards

An ITF cannot give you 8 shards. The things you defeat in it will do that, which is no different than if you'd done regular content or street-swept.

True, but a CoP is pretty short in comparison when it is run with the same organization/dedication/whatnot that most ITFs get.

The point is that the spawns in the CoP are summoned Mobs, similar to Rikti Portals or Death Shaman pets, and don't give any rewards so throwing in a few shards at the end wouldn't be all that unfair.

Oh, I recognize that. And find the lack of any rewards annoying (and I wonder if it is indicative of a direction for future trials).|

However, it is one of the fastest ways to get a component when well run, so my heart isn't broken if shards aren't added.

*ahem*
CoP? First one I tried we got done over time and again because one obelisk refused to fall. And then when we got to the Aspect? Barely scratched him.
As it is, I'm more than happy to simply craft Rularuu bits from Shards, because, for me, the CoP ain't worth my time and lack of fun.

That's every CoP. If it's going to finish, it's going to finish fast. If you're still trying to take down the pillars at the 30 minute mark, you might as well just call it and go do something more constructive.

Some done lickity split, some that have had to back up, take a deep breath and dive in again. The level of coordination and timing is intense compared to a lot of the rest of the game.
Regardless, I understand the complaint regarding a lack of drops. But I also understand why there aren't any (length if successful and the farmability of it).

I love the incarnate system. Love Love Love. Let's start out with that, but there are a few things that I think should change to fit how epic they are now.
First and foremost, change the badge "Alpha unlocked" to something more fitting of the theme. "Linked to the well." "Ascendant" "Touched by the furies", any of these do
Second, an incarnate-only emote of some kind, not sure what you'd do, but I'd like to show off a tiny bit.
Third, The cathedral of pain, make an incarnate shard part of the ending bonus, since we have no chance to get drops during.
Finally, let us see if people are incarnates, or slotted, in their search bar. Just put a little symbol next to their origin or something. I would love you long time
