All Ive really learned this season is to price check everything at a higher tier with the the Exiled addon. I havent sold a lot, but I am selling shit for once. I still have a lot of "stinkers" in my trade locker, and I probably just need to melt them down. But a good base flies off the shelf.

In other news - this is the first season where Ive done a good number of maps. Two take aways from this season. A lot of bosses Ive faced since release, I never really "did" them. Some bosses are still absolute aids, too. Sometimes you can hit a perfect roll with them and their abilities never line up to where they conflict with each other (like electric poles in the quick time maze that you have to get out of with the guy in the mine pits). But also, having to learn the timing on some one shot shit. Because in the campaign and low waystone tiers, the shit just doesnt one shot you. Even in the first release, that boss was a pushover - far before the boss nerfs happened.
Which is all well and good. I dont mind learning bosses and mechanics, thats fun. But... Its fucking awful learning shit when you're 70+. Say goodbye to any progress you made in that level. New bosses in Vaal? Dont do Vaal until you fucking level. I hate having to plan out shit Im not "good at" to when I level. That mining pit boss I just talked about, I died to him multiple times before I at least got the "concept" of his lightning. Should have been brain dead common sense - but he's zipping around the fucking room and I cant even see him on my screen half the time. Its awful. God forbid you're fucked before he even gets to that phase with the lightning poles still standing in the maze. I guess I need to stop DPS until they go away at that point.
Like.. this is a side ways rant. Because I think its good that Im having to learn shit. But I think the EXP loss past a certain point is just ridiculous. I'm not leveling once or twice off a map anymore because now its full clear 2-3 maps before I level (roughly). I dont know how I want the punishment to be any different, I just think learning a boss this late has some pretty "Fuck this game" qualities.
On that same note - I dont know what the fuck is happening, but if you die on a boss in a waystone - you get some kind of popup that you can only read for a split second. Come back and the bosses room is reoriented and the entire map is empty of all POI's and monsters. Any idea? Is this a bug?
