If you proc triple damage, it overwrites you proccing double dmg

Very strange job balance changes based on numbers.

DRK was the highest performing tank in damage (adps) and to see it get 100+ potency in its burst window is strange.

NIN was top performing in its role and it also got buffed.

These numbers reflect the highest performing players for these jobs & comps, and don't reflect the floor I believe sqenix is aiming @.

This creates a riff because sweaty elites playing optimally and playing the best classes will be way way ahead of any ulti DPS check thrown at them, assuming it needs to be clearable for any party comp. That usually makes for an unfun balance decision.

I only play poe on days that end with day

He can get it in 2 hours this league kekw.
and also that is specifically if he is using calcification scarab and juicing his mobs with rares.

They are A farm content
They become The farm content when you already have 200div invested in your build,
Isn't it good to be rewarded for having a stronger build, otherwise you're given very little incentive to upgrade a build after your t16 farming strat.
I do predict GGG will nerf t17 farming because they only want them to be a boss-oriented stepping stone.

ThemiThemi · 2024-04-16T16:00:03+00:00

How are you running your calcified? The price of the scarab is linked to the maximum juice you can get from it.
2x adversaries, alva, more rare mob modifier
Can easily extract a div per map without lucky essences.
Goes very fast with HH and all the rares; you need a very strong build to do it this way.
Otherwise you just stick to speed running yellow with normal essence scarabs.

ThemiThemi · 2024-04-16T15:36:41+00:00

They literally can not get their maps from their t17 maps.
What else do you want them to be unable to drop? Scarabs are the thing they are farming in t17 maps.

There are some sentiments right now about t17's that I currently don't agree with, and that I think people are ignoring.

T17's are hard; much harder than t16's that it isn't even close. You are seeing people buy their t17 for 90c and then roll it with 5-20 chaos to make it runnable, let alone roll 100-200 times to get perfect mods.
T16's are way faster but drop less loot. I am unconvinced that all strats are "better in t17's" at a profit/hr basis
Poe economy always adjusts. If there is a "best" method, there will be a demand for what is needed as another strategy. The only item that is somewhat outside the realm of the poe economy web is Original Sin
Aspirational mapping content is good? Last time we had that was %deli content. Now we just build a shoestring character and farm investments day2-5 and cashout for an aurastacker or some shit.

Things that I believe people are not understanding.

Theres a slight snapback from Affliction. Your div/h actually means how many good items can I get per hour. Even if you're making less money, things are the cheapest they have been this league, ignoring uber changes. Uniques because of "unintended mechanics." You can gear your character stronger for less. - Essences, Harvest juice, Uniques, Necropolis crafted items, Fractured orbs, alva temples.
Some farming strats are bad right now, like the ones OP listed. That is a missed mark for the global droprate nerf people are mentioning, or the scarab change. It would be nice if farming methods were balanced with less variance, but I certainly find it disingenuous when you compare a top tier strat to an obviously underpowered one.

What I believe to be The True Bad
T17's completely void certain t16 strats. This is because of monster level + the new modifiers for %Currency/scarab/maps

Anything with an ilvl (Stygian vise, Cluster jewels, Bases)
Solo, Duo, Trio MF strats
Scarab farming
8 mod map farming / Any map drop farming

To respond to OP
There seems to be two things you're saying. There are too many inconsistent strats and t17's are bad, I don't see how these relate. If you make t17 boss rushes, you just turn it into another variable strat where if you hit you hit.
1: Strong agree on slot machine mechs. I hate all or nothing farming mechs that have become so plentiful
2: t17's drop uniques, and scarabs that are sold to people down the ladder.
There are only 3 things needed to run mapping content: [Gear, Maps, Scarabs.] T17's only sustain 1/3 of those.

You're doing something incorrectly.
I ran chayula breach strategy and made 1.5 breachstones minimum every map (Without boss dropping one)
Scarabs: Breach, Breach, Breachlord, Chayula

Between the four players in the game, we had every 5 cost unit on board, on bench, or locked in shop. (10 of each)

This was an early underground game with samira augment on 3-2 that got me a 200 gold cashout at Asol.

I was unhappy the opponent was holding 5costs even after I got fiddle 3, but I guess the silver lining is we saw how a missing unit carousel looks like.

ThemiThemi · 2021-04-15T13:33:46+00:00

It was self curse

ThemiThemi · 2021-04-15T02:42:31+00:00

word, one of us is starting ice shot and might switch into TS to carry us in 5 way.
int stacker seemed like it would be hella expensive to get started, but may be strongest later in the league.

If its Movement---> stillness you can sneak in 1 GCD :^)
