What's the legendary drop rate of Ghom?

Is it close to elites? Is it worth to do Ghom repetitively? And in that case, should I do it in adventure mode or normal mode?

Most people that I'v eseen run it does it in story mode as the waypoint is right next to him. As for drop rate, he's considered a 'boss drop' which gives more loot than elites, thus more chances at legendary items.

Most people who does this run wears a Mara's Kalideoscope which completely nullfies his poison damage. I suppose the advantage is greater for HC players since there is zero chance of dying, even on T6 when wearing that amulet.

Whether its worth it or not is pretty subjective I'll leave that up to you to decide.

The legendary drop rate of Ghom is different depending on your difficulty level. Most people farm bosses in normal mode because of the checkpoint system. If you're looking for legendary items, you get a much higher increase while in a rift, so you might want to consider elite farming a rift instead.
