3.16 is disappointing, more powercreep for the wealthy and no toning down of OP content

I believe my champion is weaker than that. He still could clear yellow scourges just fine.

Toxic Rain Champ is the prime example of how messed up this game is.
Champion which should be used for impale and melee builds is used for Toxic Rain which he has 0 synergy with.
What a shitshow.

Well toxic rain raider was very popular before, and it didn't have a lot of synergy with raider either. People just picked raider for speed and tankiness. Same for champion this time since raider lost its dodge/spell dodge. There are also some other useful things such as stun immunity, some attack speed, aura effect, etc

Toxic rain scales more with gem levels than anything else, so the purpose of the ascendancy is to provide defense & utility.Another great example is inquisitor RF - which has no direct synegy with RF, yet its very good because of the utility it provides. Ascendancies aren't just for damage scaling, there are plenty of other ways to do that.

Pure Phys melee with Impale is just too weak and too expensive to be an efficient pick in this game.

Its all about gem level scaling gems.

Shitshow on so many levels.

Well, all I can say from a casual perspective is after a few days of Scourge league I stopped trying.

Game progression hasn't changed one whit for me. gameplay in PoE hasn't changed at all. I farm currency, and trade for the gear I need. Scourge didn't change this one iota. I stopped bothering with the scourge thingy. it basically ends up with 7 seconds of madly mashing my buttons in hope that I don't die, and at the end I get crap rares that I sell.

I might as well enjoy the game play if I'm just going to get crap rares. At least previous leagues had interesting mechanics. Incursion, Delve, they had awesome mechanics that even today I still enjoy, even if I get crap from them.

I'm learning the heist league for the first time, enjoying it, even if I still get crap. at least it's fun gameplay. Scourge is just 5 seconds of mad spam buttons. for crap.

Uh...why do I do it? Oh right, I stopped bothering. It even ruins the decent rares you get. And it fills poe dot trade with crap corrupt items. Thankfully they have the option to filter them out.

Everyone starts out poor, you and the men who get mageblood have the same chance for the drop...

the point of mageblood and any unique that is build enabling is called chase drops. Items that make you jump out of your chair when you find it or get it. You don't need it to enjoy POE nor do you need HH. But once you get them it becomes more fun! I've played this game for years without HH first time I got HH was by winning a global chat give away, 2nd time I farmed up the currency for it. To get wealthy in this game is not hard you just need to farm and save. You don't need to be rich, but you need to understand the game. You probably have exalts worth of loot in your stash and don't even know.

Literally sold several rares I found off the ground for total of 10 ex so far, amulets and rings and boots. rares worth 50-75c add up man learn how to play and trade.

Bullshit

So many videos on how you can make currency floating around. Not the others' fault some are struggling

I do kinda understand the currency struggle new players face, they often think that people who have a lot of exalts were just luckier than them. Also a lot of people don't like to invest into their maps with sextants, scarabs etc and those are huge. To make currency in this game you always invest something into it first imo. Hell you can even turn a decent profit buying shaper/elder sets and selling the uber elder fragments - as long as you're okay with trading for fragments all day.

Also gonna repeat this here again - t1 scourge maps could be decently rewarding and takes nothing to bake them. You don't even need scarabs or the top tier stuff, even things like this could be pretty good

awesome! that map drops 8 stacks of augs and several 0.5c tainted currency items that you can't bulk sell because they're all different types! Not only that, it took 30 maps to scourge it to that degree and it will fucking kill you outright if you're an ES character.

Yawn.

Anyways your method obviously does not make money because you're running a tabula on one of your characters and a 5l on another and they're both close to level 90.

haha you just had to go there didn't you? maybe you haven't heard of this thing called ssf where you can't just buy stuff like you can on trade league eh? I hate to do shit like this but since you brought it up..

And this is just on ssf, i played trade league scourge for only a week and made ~3 times that many there

Anyway you should stop snooping at other people's profile and try to play the game (or learn how to play it). You've completed 42 bonus objectives, allocated 12 atlas passives and not even reached A8. Also you did exactly 0 tier 10 scourge maps, yet keep talking about how bad they are. So don't be mad when people call you out on ur bs ;)

I just can't stand people who neither know wtf they're talking about nor are interested to learn
