Blight scarab of the blightheart extremely underwhelming

the one chest reward is so underwhelming, 99% of the time none of the rewards are even showing on my filter!

I thought this whole time that it's a 'fish for a good chest' kind of scarab, but i just landed a currency chest..... and i got less than 2c total worth from it!

We are talking every blight node, fully juiced t16, 8 moded..

Potential solutions if ggg reads it by chance;

a)Buff chest reward multiplier
b)Let it always be a blight reward chest, rather than random

anyway, what are your takes on it?

just ran it again and the pain came back so bump

Yea the two times I used it, I got an armour cache and a weapons cache. Not really that much fun getting those.

just got a currency one and for the first time EVER in many many runs it has procced multiple chest opens, great showcase of how bad the rewards are

Glad someone else made this post.

Another key issue;

Nobody wants to spend 3-4 minutes fighting blight lanes for the pustule to be a divination card one and only get 4 stacked decks from it.

That goes to show that 2 lanes of blight gave ma 4x multiplier when using the blightheart scarab as it should have only been 1 stacked deck from the chest originally.

Kind of the same thing I have noticed with delirium, I can have 7 rewards on all my tiles, and only 7 stacked decks drop. They really need to scale those back up and not only drop one from reward chests anymore.

ya, just had a 2 line blight in a crazy per usual map into 3x openable currency pustule droping a grand total of 1, singular chaos orb and some change

I would love it if this changed to only have a blight reward chest, even if the reward was toned down. I want to like this scarab, as it takes away the need to minimize the number of portals by choosing a narrow map and you don't have to run after each reward chest, but as it is, it just makes the rewards worse.

useless scarab
difficulty +300%
reward = +0%

I just used one of these for the first time. The "SUPER" chest had less rewards than a single non-scarab'ed chest would've. Had to kill 20 blight bosses to get it too. Not only a waste of a scarab, but a waste of my blight encounter.
How incredibly dumb. Almost as dumb as a screenfull of transmutation shards from harbingers.

I did nothing but blight and blighted maps till lvl. 100% with my first char this league and I think it is pretty hard to say how good or how bad those scarabs are because blight is always either hero or zero. I sometimes run 20 blighted maps not getting stuff worth 1 div out of a map but the the next few maps are 5-8 div each. The only thing that is REALLY bad atm is that blighted maps drop almost no gold.
