Starting to agree with all the complaints about it being a poverty league and being a squishy melee on top of it is leading to some headaches. Coupled with lots of arpg time stacked back to back for a while now and not sure i'm even gonna stick around long enough to finish the atlas.
Mobs with block attacks are stupid and take forever, doubly so if they are crit resistant on top since i'm a crit build. 4400 life and some mid evasion/block/tiny suppress (still broke and level 83) leaves me getting almost 1shot by random shit even in t5/t6 maps. Haven't gotten a tink since the 2 divines I got at lvl 38 and 48, and it's not like it's raining chaos or anything with just some bad luck on tinks, either.

You make my FOMO go away a bit, though it does sound like they are working on certain things. If I hadn't played way too much of this POE2 league I would have definitely rolled up a char. I am a day or two away from taking a long break but I had a lot of fun in 3.28 or whatever and then POE2 .5 was a step in the right direction.

Currently it's a league without anything in the way of endgame farms coming off of a league that provided a lot of different options through the interaction between Mirage, astrolabes and scarabs. Working with just astrolabes, scarabs and the other traditional tools there's just not a lot there. It doesn't mean you can't make money but it does mean that the basic carrot/treadmill mechanic of upgrading a character to farm harder content for more upgrades for harder farms is shallow this content cycle. It doesn't help they nerfed Breach about eleven different ways to then also have the Abyss revamp miss the mark in a league with zero juice coming off a league with a bunch of juice.

they are gonna do the most GGG thing ever. Push a buggy patch live on Friday, do nothing for 3 days, post 2nd what we're working on around Tuesday, push another patch out next Friday, slam a couple of hotfixes and call it the league done and peace out. Just like they have done for years.

Well if it helps any, maybe it's just me having shit luck. Watching random youtube videos of peoples league starts/progress while eating dinner and some of them are getting tons of drops. I did manage to get 2 whole divines in like 8 hours of playing today, though (1 from a voyage 1 from a map)!

Yeah, it could easily just be me being on the shit side of rng. My leagues seem to work out to either average 1div/4hrs or 50div/hr with it just raining tinks and good stuff on me (2 leagues with raw mageblood drops, etc). Actual league mechanic is enjoyable enough for me, too. I don't dislike it, I just dislike never being able to actually gear a character out in my trash rng leagues.

I mean if you would use a crafting item, use allflame instead for a general rule. But also, you want to save it for the high risk crafts. So like influence exalt slams, vaal orbs (can they even be used on all flame? probably not). Save yourself some divine rerolls.
I'd expect they're very good on memory strands however. Those I would use in the beginning stages.
I haven't messed with it too much apart from crafting easy map progression gear but the sky does seem the limit. The only thing is you can only use it a few times on a certain item before it your instability is too high and you can't use it anymore. That's why you don't use it with rerolling essences/alts
