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

But he reads Reddit, that clearly makes him an expert! I mean, sure, he's literally never killed Sirus (or even been able to BUY a Sirus kill, which is even sadder) and seems to lack comprehension of very basic game systems... but he reads Reddit, dammit, which means he DEFINITELY knows more than people who have cleared bosses he's never even heard of.

Lmao who with half a brain is buying sirus kills for 0.0004% more map quant?

Anyways I took a screenshot for you noob, it only applies to scourge monsters like I originally told you. Next.

Literally nobody ever said it didn't? Again, you're just... making stuff up, transparently, like you honestly don't even care if anyone believes you anymore. Let's recap real quick:

You lied about what people said re: Corruption stacks
You lied about how rewarding people have said Scourge was
You lied about how many maps you've run
You lied about clearing Scourge content
You lied about regularly reaching high Corruption stacks
You lied about how much progress you've made in this league
You lied about how long it takes you to clear maps
You lied about how much you've even played the game

... and that's just the super obvious stuff that everyone can tell you're lying about at a glance. There's probably a WHOLE lot more that you at least sort-of disguised as something resembling reality.

At this point your issues seem pathological, and you have my genuine pity. Get some help.

Not reading all that. Happy for you though, or sorry that happened. Anyways scourge stacks do not apply to regular map monster quant, you are not getting 5x-7x the drops you were getting in 3.14, and it would have been overwhelmingly obvious to every player in the game if it worked that way. Anybody who thought otherwise lacks a basic sense of perception of how much loot they're getting in a map.

I agree scourge is not very rewarding for casual players, need to invest in the map and spend currency on them unlike previous leagues.

I find the league really fun, lot of monsters tho so I am not bored. Just sad I ll not be able to buy those new 50ex uniques.

A little triggered at random 1 shot even with capped block and spell block it s like block is useless in this league those monsters all have Block reduction or soemthing.

Lol just stop, you're embarrassing yourself. This ain't reddit, people can see your profile/challenges/achievements so there's no point in making false claims.

And as a bonus here are the drops from another basic scourge map I just ran (only t5 scourge), its not crazy like that 7 scarab map I baked (sells for 4-5 ex on trade) but this literally took 0 cost to make and easy 50c from just the expedition currency alone, prolly ~80 if one could be bothered to sell the catalysts/splinters, etc. Same with simulacrum splinters, you can get a full simulacrum from one map and those sell for ~1ex

Spoiler

Just wanted to bump this to confirm, got a 10th degree Krangled map with the Simulacrum splinters mod. 252 splinters in total, so well over 100c just from those in addition to all the other rewards.

The fact that you don't get how powerful these new mastery thingy are is all that I need to gauge how your understanding of POE is. Bye and stay safe ^^.

AH yes, sad you're one of the people that were sold on mysteries being straight power creep, or a buff in any fashion. I guess you didn't compared any 3.15 build's trees to 3.16 At best its the same damage, usually its much less on top of baked in utilities on notables we used to have you lost IE movement speed on the one fortify node for example. Plus they want us to invest into defense and there are plenty of neat new things on the tree but we dont have anymore new passive points so with us still being at an easy 40% damage loss from last league and flasks still feeling like shit having next to no charges gained what do they want us to do? Lose even more damage? Yeah no.

Darkee beat wave 30 simulacrum SSFHC. When that is out there the only response is git gud.

You mean git meta. An extremely small number of builds will be strong enough to handle the damage being flung your way there, meaning you need something that is powerful enough to kill the waves before they have a chance to touch you. That or hope you get a good simulacrum map where you can funnel a couple enemies into a corner and whittle away at them from there.

SSFHC doesn't mean you can't run a crazy powerful build.

You're welcome to see how far you can push simulacrum with a summoner, but judging from what I've been reading in /global 6666 (summoner channel) where important minions tend to get slaughtered by wave 27, I'm not willing to risk losing my AG or my spectres to try it, especially since desecrate is worse in 3.16.

Minions too easy cheesy for you? Go strike melee instead.
