Blight Statistics: Challenges and Ascendancy Classes

I'm kinda disappointed with your focus on the Blight challenges. I'm level 93 right now, I've beaten the Uber Elder for the first time (Deathless, yay), and yet I'm having a terrible time trying to do the challenges (22 so far).

Some are way too rng-based (I still need 1 specific Rogue exile for instance, Kirmes Olli, can't get her to spawn), some require pinpoint accuracy, some are plain impossible without a specific build. And this late in the league, I'd need to sell an organ or two to get my hand on a golden oil.

And with a job, I can't farm endgame content or go as far as I can in the mines, but I was ok with not getting 36 achievements, I just never thought getting 24 would be such a hassle.

I gave up on getting to 36 challenges this league because the last few are so much random-based not fun, and even doing all the ones that are boring grinding for a million years aren't enough to avoid the luck based crap.

- Chayula randomly spawning
- Possessed Beyond boss
- Synthesis boss
- Bestiary boss? (I've seen one but they're still too rare)
- Aul

One of these would be okay, but there are way too many that are solely luck based this league. The problem with these sorts of things is that while winning could be a challenge, the real challenge is having them ever spawn.

You might as well have made some of the challenges "take a die and roll a 100."

Some of these can be mitigated by using the skill of just buying your way to victory, but that's its own problem.

I do actually like Blight itself though.

I think reason why so much people play Necromancer meta, because without very good build you will perform bad in league mechanics, and necro is easy choice. Its better then in legion, but still a problem.

THIS ^^^ and it's _________ that GGG repeatedly states in the original post that the reason that people are on necros is that it is easier for newcomers when it's far more likely (in my book) to be that it is probably the easiest way to handle the Blight league mechanic.

I have found this league not boring at all but also not really that fun. The league mechanic makes many skills and builds pointless to bother with in my opinion. After how good the loot was in Legion, the loot seems pretty bad as well in Blight.

So, I say "meh" to Blight - won't miss it when it is gone.

Maybe it's time to start back power of nerfed skills?
I understand that it's new sale model (meta = skill packs mtx), but you'll get less critic if start back old power of Storm Brand, Winter Orb, Arc and other easy-to-use spells and skills. Meta will be more flat. Ok, the most popular current skill can be nerfed, but for 1-2 leagues. Not forever.

And i know that nerfed skills still stronK, but it's not easy-to-use now. One new meta build always better and easier.

At first, yes, I'm salty. I think even a :Pepeg: or :2Head: can list out the statistics.

Meta, class or build biased:
I bet most of the melee skill cannot do the Cell map's Shavrone. Maybe only build with chaos dmg or dot build can do it easily. Meta biased ofc this "tower league", maybe only minion build can click the blight tower easiest compare to other build, or even other game mechanic.

RNG, currency biased:
"Fortune favours the brave", maybe there was some currency dependent challenges in the past leagues, but at least it only use currency to boost the speed of completion like, sulphite, emblem, abyss(but now even more). I bet GGG trying to make every scarab more useful like harbinger, torment scarabs (for possessed Beyond boss).
Making RNG even more dependent, oil rarity, exile, monster rarity (rare/unique blight). Maybe GGG should arrange the order of these challenges after the "Complete Zana's Questline", so that it would be more reasonable.
And also Aul, the 'Error 404 not found' King and Chayula, Who 'literally we day' Dream

poor zerker, they always took the crown of the last placer

Despite all our fighting, Malachai has won in the end: Wraeclast is not a lively, diversified world anymore, just a big clones factory.
That is sad.

I am so happy to be a gladiator right now.

GGG: The meta this league is necromancer!
Statistics: Necromancer dominates

lol :) thanks for making me laugh.

I usually go for the 36, but this league I could not be bothered, even steam charts show a massive drop in player numbers for the league,compared to last league. The mechanics of the league also favor certain builds,so the meta is obvious.

A flashback might peak some interest, otherwise the league is pretty much dead at this point.

Damn, I was hoping to play Necro next league but by the looks of it, they'll probably uninstall the ascendancy in the next patch.
