Fusings seem rough, especially after Scourge allowed you to 6 link something near instantly and they took that away. Having less ways to 6 link with that and the Prophecy being removed means you're down to manually linking, Harvest, and the crafting bench. None of which are particularly reasonable, especially with the %quality crafts being taken away from chest pieces.
However, if you take most/all the essence nodes from the Atlas you'll be shitting out 6-12 high tier essences every map which is a great way to craft, especially on non-influenced items now that you can use the Eldritch Exalt/Chaos/Annul to wiggle the affixes even more now. If anyone is complaining about Scarabs, they simply aren't playing the game at this point. I've had 10 scarabs drop off a single boss multiple times with the eldritch map mods which have something like a 1/4 chance of racking up scarabs (gems/scarabs/currency/eldritch currency is what they generally roll). Even then, unless you're a Tower farming shitfuck I don't know that scarabs are even necessary with as much juice as you can inherently have with the new Atlas passives.
At this point the maps are juiced constantly, you get something like a 1/5 chance or better of hitting the League stuff you want, maps are shitting out doubled, currency and crafting mats are more abundant than anyone could have imagined they would be for little investment, and besides League FOMO, there's not really a single downside to any of it. This is the loot league of all loot leagues. Ultimatum was the most loot I think I've ever seen in a single league and this easily tops it. Ultimatum did seem to have more raw currency, but a lot of people wanting raw currency have SEVERAL options to easily get it:
Heist
Delve
Juice some currency Archnemesis (don't have to go full tilt, just big currency and some mediocre reroll stuff)
Between those you should be able to earn like 30-50c an hour if you really need it. If you're in trade it's even easier. Just take an off-meta League mechanic (Incursion, Metamorph, Bestiary) and sell the loot. For instance I've been Incursion RIGHT off the bat, went straight for it because I thought the gloves/boots with new Eldritch Implicits would be amazing (they are). Day two I had already hit 3/4 double corrupts and I've hit 2 Double Corrupt/Doryani's. Double Corrupt chambers alone are 20c and the double doubles are almost an exalt. I can shit one of those out with about 75% success with the Incursion mods. The same can be said with Metamorph. Double the rewards, juice catalysts, get a doubled up pile of Fertile catalysts, sell the fuck out of them.
The game has given us nearly all the tools to make our gear or make money. If you can't do both, you need to either re-evaluate your strategy, your goals may be too lofty (hitting the 50 weight with two 150 weights on a cluster for instance), or you just may not understand enough about the game as you think you do. I'm sure Ziz and Badger and whoever are shitting out guides for how to take advantage of the new Atlas, and I'd definitely go check some out if you're struggling. To be fair, I know how to craft very well and I've still used 100's of harvest rolls on a single item to get an "acceptable" result. Sometimes that's the nature of the game and you just have to accept that as well.
Overall this league is probably S tier. The bosses are a joke, which helps casuals kill them, and drop uniques very commonly which are INCREDIBLY POWERFUL, but cheap because of how common they are. This is a big fucking gimme league so if you're having a hard time I'd suggest trying to isolate your main issue and checking out a guide for it.
TL;DR
Need Money --- Atalas Obj for Incursion (sell temples) Meta (sell catalysts) and Bestiary (sell beasts)///// Run Heist/Delve/Minor currency Archnemesis mods
Out of crafting mats ---- Run Essence nodes/Run Delve/Check for a guide to make sure you're crafting with your best options
Not Having Fun --- It may be you or your build and probably not the league as it is now choose your own journey once you get to maps.
