Catarina's encounter should be itemized

Similar to incursion temples, players would benefit greatly if given the choice to itemize a catarina encounter while snapshotting the relevant syndicate member placements.

i understand that many players simply do not run cat and prefer to just keep grinding syndicate board for rewards. so this option must be purely optional to those who want to.

few arguments why this should be implemented:

1. some of the rewards that are given might be wasted if the player does not have anything relevant such as breachstones for breachstone upgrades.
2. FOMO. if you've unlocked her and setup the perfect board you might want to run her but maybe you've got 50% experience and dont want to risk dying.
3. "everything else" is doing it. elder? shaper? maven? pinnacle bosses? sirus? all itemized. even alva temples are itemized now.
4. allows players to "trade" bench rewards

on a sidenote.

POE has changed a lot, alva temples were itemized and sirus encounters were itemized. syndicate remains the last "old content" where the "final payoff" is not itemized. back when sirus and his conquerors were on the map. i ALWAYS had the need to clear them. this contributed to a huge reason to why i did not level up as much as i did recently. the FOMO feeling is really strong. now i m at level 99 going to 100. my mastermind progress is going to climax soon, but i know that i need to avoid doing it or else i might as well not try to level.

just open and close it then keep leveling if you aren't comfortable with the fight, safehouse XP is excellent so you don't want to disable it completely.

While I think Itemising it might be nice if complicated this thread is really about the xp penalty and fomo which are personal problems to overcome. Playing safe comes at a price just accept it if you want to hit 100 with your current method.

rather bad since it kills your progress but jun always reminding me of the fight when i want to identify some items gets on my nerves so much that i already accidentally sold items i wanted to unveil.

jun finally shutting up would be the only reason why i wanted them to itemise the catarina fight.

If itemizing doesn't reset the board, I'd be down for it. Not gonna waste all of that time and effort setting it up only to have to do it all over again.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish.

that fundamentally is a problem with syndicate league mechanic.

in many cases its better to ignore mastermind.

if we could itemize the mastermind and not reset the board it would definitely be abused.

what i would like is the option to itemize the mastermind encounter which would give the rewards as per the board that we made. it will reset the board back to "default".

i would emphasize that it must be an option, players can choose to just ignore this option and its not forced upon them.

i would say syndicate should be reworked somewhat. its in a weird position right now where alva temple forces players to complete a temple but syndicate allows players to keep reaping partial rewards which can be more rewarding. but thats for a different discussion
