    Seems to be a common theme amongst this thread. Is this what I'm missing by not opting into the politics part of the forum? Is this the wrong place to ask why people are willing to risk job/career for a "vaccine"? I have a long list of issues with it myself, just never got to the point of...

    Who needs a temp league to come back to the game? Honest question. I'm not saying those players don't exist nor that don't deserve new content too, I just can't relate to them. I keep thinking they would have been better off shipping 3.16 without a temp league. With the other existing...

    Layered RNG can be fun if it's weighted properly. This item has shit resists and life but it has a decent chance to get a keystone or projectiles chain +1 times. And it can be partially patched up with common tainted currency. The preceding was a fantasy that should have shipped with league...

    Alt tabbing sucks in fullscreen. This league is a lot like Synthesis, hope they fix it soon. What are people putting in their crucibles? No way am I risking actual good items, tainted currency is far too rare(and when you do get some, it's not worth much?!?!). So, maps, 6S items and....what...

    Definitely not doing Scourge until better geared after getting to maps. The RvR for the league is totally inverted. Teleport into Hell, get raped, alch your white items. Yay?

    It was like close to 0. No fortify, no endurance charges, no armor. What does right side of tree do for phys mitigation? Phys taken as something else? Those usually aren't starter options.

    Darkee build, essentially. Boring, but I haven't played TR in a while and every time I PoB a poison concoction pathfinder, the phys defenses sucked. Going to try getting an accuracy stacker going after that.

    No. Essentially, baubles, Hillock, and prefix. If the modifier doesn't make the amount bigger on the actual item in the game, poisonous concoction won't be affected by it. Vague and unintuitive, the GGG classic.

    Sapping is getting additional tiers of modifiers, it can go up to 60%. Without that, Saturated is better and AFAIK, not getting more tiers. I doubt poisonous concoction will count as using the flask, so it shouldn't trigger the downside. I'd like to know if you run 2 life flasks, can you...

    To be fair to @Penance, that data mentions nothing of the reservation change itself. Hovering over the gem itself does though. @Arbitrary One of the masteries adds +3 strike range. Supposedly they added some to the tree, but I haven't investigated a strike skill build since pob was updated...

    It does strike as form over function. The league is about demons, so it has to be corruption! They probably could have just reworked Synthesized items with far less complication.

    If the league mechanics requires near-copying so many base currencies, shouldn't the league mechanic itself be questioned? I feel like I'm watching some novice programmer copy functions and classes because that's less work instead of elegantly refactoring so that common code only exists in one...

    I see a common theme in the responses and generally I agree. The problem solving aspect of crafting can be fun. Puting that plan in motion is what sucks. Would rather reroll yet another build because I know I can do that myself with pob and little reliance on others. Crafting has too much...

    Valuable currency is given away at that point. Or sits and rots out of spite if no takers. I don't see a point to crafting for crafting's sake. I want to craft to progress my character and say "I made this". If I'm done with league, those motivations are also obviated.

    Agreed. Expensive crafting currency and trade economy are nearly exclusive. How can you properly balance and incentivize players when most players will sell their orbs chaos and up? So, instead of "get excited for this new rare currency", it's "get excited for this drop you'll sell to...

    No one's going to use that, scourging/corrupting an item will be the last step. I mean, that was already the case. But kinda silly to see item currency design that ends up incentivizing to NOT use it. Disclaimer: unless this is counterintuitively common.

    Arming time can be frustrating. There are ways to eliminate it but the cost is quite heavy as instantly armed traps no longer trigger targeting enemies. Switch to mines if you don't like the arming time. Seismic is indeed a lot of damage that mines won't have. Traps won't have leech. There...

    Exsanguinate mines/traps will be a good starter. Also, very popular. Pretty sure I'm doing poison flask tossing. Though, I'm only considering it because of pathfinder's poison prolif. Why wasn't ignite prolif popular with explosive concoction last league?

    Detonate Dead in Poet's Pen/The Squire and Desecrate on Spellslinger or Kitava's Thirst. Nothing else came to mind, maybe they got over their itch to make everything 1-2 combos. Might be a bit awkward to contact a pack and all you initially do is cast Desecrate. But once you get your rhythm...

    Mjolner needs something besides cyclone as a trigger. Poets Pen looks fun. That said, I'm not sure what 1-2 combos are left to abuse in a trigger setup since blade blast got taken out back.
