wrapping our in aluminum foil sticking it in the electric socket, and a Divine pops out TOS neon where are the totems. What does it mean cuz that mother Divine is coming out, and we're all going to do that every time. You know this and Beyond Scarab of corruption, Beyond Scarab of resurgence, delirium Scarab of delusions, delirium Scarab of neurosis, delirium Scarab of paranoia, necropolis sucked but I don't need to tell you that everybody knows that's not even a hot take. I'm so glad it's not a hot take now I'm not like alone everybody else off having fun doing everything else nope we're all looking forward to 3.25 cuz uh if this one ain't it it's a rough one for for a lot of people okay a lot of career changes occurring if 3.25 ain't at least a decent one okay. I'm not asking for the best league with poe2 beta on the horizon. I just want a couple things okay.

far as builds go, I think some melee buffs are in order. From what we're seeing on the Twitter, looks like we will get a couple of those. I don't know if anybody else has seen it, but we're getting dead totems, dead totems, dead totems. Every single tweet, there's a secret dead totem. Where are the totems, Neon? Where are the totems? What does it mean? Means a melee buffs, I hope. Can you imagine it's totem buffs? That's what they begin at. No, they're removing the melee totems. Okay, God bless. It's about damn time. You imagine instead of on your caster builds, you linking an Arcanist brand to a curse and then a flame surge or whatever your utility is. Instead, you get a totem. And you know what? You get another totem. And you know what? If you walk too far away from that totem, now the boss loses their burning ground. If the boss gets too far away from the totem, they lose their burning crow. Okay.

if they get too far away, there goes your L weakness INF flammability. GG's bro. Yeah, no thank you. Okay, not a direct analogy. I don't care. Okay, totems bad. Upvotes to the left. Number two, the second thing I want to see in the P not for build stuff. I'd like some Spell slinger man. Spell slinger fun as hell, and it doesn't feel like it's even in a playable spot. Like, I don't need Spell slinger to be number one. I just want spellslinger to be good enough where I can say, Yeah, you're giving up some damage, but I'm okay with that for a comfortable play style CU. It sure [ __ ] don't feel like we're there right now. Okay, I'm giving up a lot more than a little bit of damage for a much, much more comfortable play style. That stuff's fun, man. Hey, Spell slinger. I love those. And if you remember spells Slinger, you probably remember chaos dot. Okay, yes, oh, the build where you get to cast four

abilities and do absolutely no damage requiring all the gems and socket pressure in the world, while giving absolutely all yeah please chaos. Do it. Just needs some love and man, uh, make the numbers bigger. Aside from builds, we'll do some game State stuff. You know what would be cool? Some changes to tier 17's. Very brave, I know, very brave, very brave, controversial, a hot take, some would say, changing the mod pool of tier 17s. I don't know what they're going to do. I really hope and pray they do something 'cause it just wasn't fun, man, uh, it's just not fun. There's just so many Fringe mods, Union of Souls, exarc ruins, all these annoying thing like the Elder Circle, right? Like, I don't know, man, have like a gimmick for the map if you want to have some annoying thing, right? Like, have a gimmick like obam nation has that it just like randomly explodes corpses or I don't know, okay? I don't know.

don't do that one. Hey, hardcore is going to lose their mind. Don't do that one, but if you want to have like some annoying something or another, like make it like a gimmick of the map, right? And then it could be like balanced. You can't increase the effect of it, you know? It's not like have to constantly roll over, right? It, it's just like you have to roll over so many annoying things. I never even got into tier 17 farming 'cause just the thought of creating a few rexes for all my maps. And it's not even just like, Oh, you're making a redx. Like, no, I'm making like one redx, and then I'm making another redx to catch all the other mods. And then I've got to, like, have another one, uh, so I'm picking up, like, the nice currency and Scarab nodes. It's like, sure, man, if I'm just, like, fragment forming, right? But t7s is so much more than fragment farming right now. If it's just fragment farming, sure, man, I'll, I'll roll.

the maps. You know, make them whatever, dude. Like, you know, you just pop in, kill the boss on your Hex Blast build, and you pop out, and a t17 farming a lot more cancer than that. And I get to be a lot less, okay, whatever the hell that looks like, more fun, less Hideout clicks. If you want a Chaos Sink, go ahead, make a Chaos Sink, but I don't think your Chaos Sink should be us rolling maps to avoid awful modifiers. Speaking of awful modifiers, Back to Basics, I just want it removed. I'll be real, I want it removed for the same reason they removed Wrath of Cosmos. Remember that Keystone, everybody takes it, you die so much more, but you get more loot. Kind of feels like Back to Basics is the exact same thing. Like I said in my review of Necris League, okay, Back to Basics is the equivalent of us wrapping our in aluminum foil, sticking it in the electric socket, and a Divine pops out. And you might say, why would you do that, man? Why would you do that? Okay, 'cause that

Mother Divine is coming out, and we're all going to do that every time. You know this, you know this. We're going to ruin the game for ourselves if the Divine pops out. Okay, stop doing this. Stop. You have to stop. We will make the game unbearable if it drops more loot. Okay, if it gives the best stuff. And that's Back to Basics inventories and inventories of scarabs all the increased effect of all the mods you could ever want. Wow, just wow. Super fun to farm for a league mechanic. I would like something where you go in a map, you kill something, it drops something, and then maybe I do like one more thing. Maybe I like maybe I drop something and I do something with that and like I'm fine with that but you got to have the first three. Please, you got to have the first three. Make me kill some [__] man and have it drop some loot. According to the Tweets, we're getting some Buffs to Old mechanics. It's funny I wrote that down in the script here.

before the tweets even came out, but it looks like we are getting that Buffs to Old League mechanics. I love that. I eat it up. Hey, buff the abyss, buff blight, buff whatever the hell. Okay, all the old mechanics get a little bit of a pass. Drop some more stuff, add one little gimmick, change a couple scarabs. It's a breath of fresh air for all the blade Farmers, okay? All them poor. Please help them out. I'd like a button that dumps my inventory or if you require, okay, if you require Mouse movement, if that's a part of the weight, okay, why don't we compromise? We remove all the clicking and we just have the mouse movement, okay? We hold shift and we just move our cursor over the items and it dumps those, okay? Something I need some compromise here, okay? You cannot have us farming inventories full completely full of scarabs. We enter a map, our inventory is full. You can even Essence farming, your inventory near goddamn fills up with just Essences every single map and

then you want us to click each and every space, and maybe this is fine when Peewee dropped seven rare items, and you know two transmutes and an elk if you're lucky, but brother, okay, we need something, you, we're getting old, dude, okay, this shit's been out right more than a decade, right, we're getting hit more right, come on man, you were going to be pushing, I'm pushing 30, some of you old farts are going to be pushing 40, and you're going to be making us click this much, come on man, all right, back to melee, I just can't help myself, I don't give a [ __ ] about authentic melee, I give a [ __ ] about big stuff that feels good, you know what I'm hey cleave, I don't need it to be realistic, okay, I don't need a realistic weapon range, I want, okay, bone shatter, is it realistic that all the explosions and all the shock waves I hit one thing, no, but it

doesn't matter cuz it's got explosions, and that's badass, that's cool. Hey Cyclone, make it huge cleave, make it large rage Vortex actually looks, you know, rage Vortex looks pretty good okay, rage Vortex actually looks pretty don't TCH, yeah, I just always think back to Old Cyclone, man, that [ __ ] was a blast. Legion League, walking around the domain of Timeless conflict, not even, we don't even need the head on our Buffs, man, right, it just, it's got to be a bigger circle into a little bit more damage, we can take care of the rest. He back to League mechanics again, getting Whiplash League mechanics, I love them once they're fleshed out, before that they suck, dude, what the man, they so disappointing when a league mechanic releases in such an obviously unplayed and uncared about State. I don't know how necropolis was released in the way it was when the morg didn't even have enough space for you to

save corpses up to fill a whole graveyard, and that's the whole point, right now you might say, well, you don't need to fill every single one of the graves, you want to get pretty damn close for a lot of this. Okay, especially if you want to make some extra copies, which you might as well. You want to mirror some stuff to sell the extras or to use them if you're doing some dual, you know, like, I don't know dude, like what the hell, man, like, you know, like, I'm not trying to be a dick, do you just not have somebody at the office that's just like, hey, this kind of like, hey guys, what's up with this, like, do we really want our players to have to sort our corpses using The Dewey Decimal System, right? You remember that corpses had mod tier ratings that had multiple tiers for each mod, right? It wasn't just like plus mod tier, it was plus Lightning mod tier with multiple tiers of that, multiple scarers we still got like for some.

reason they made them like humanoid Beast like Undead, and it's like, what are we doing? What, what are we doing here? You're going to make us sort through all this, like, come on, man. We already got to go to like a third party site to plan our grave out, to get the rose, to see if we're in the threshold to get the extra item, and then we've got to have this on our second monitor while we individually put each and every corpse in the grave. It's just not fun, man. Like, somebody needs to be brave, okay? No, I'm sure it's more complicated than that, but that'll make for good YouTube, all flame modifiers. That's actually inexcusable, okay? The other, you know, the other one, sure, you guys were developing the mechanic, I understand, like, at some point you can't scrap it anymore, at some point you got what you got, all flame mods during the campaign, that's just Tom Foolery, okay, when players can get chain stunned and chain Frozen in the campaign.

because you add in extra modifiers there that is absolutely silly. Okay, that's some [ __ ] where people are just like, Ah, okay, this game sucks, right? Imagine that in Elden Ring. Think about this in literally anything else. You boot up a game and you get chain stunned. Like, what is this? Am I booting up Tekken? Okay, am I getting cheesed in Tekken right now? What do I need to not get frozen by these goats? Okay, another thing, back to old League mechanics. I'd like a reduction in the silly mods, okay? Expedition having mods that break your builds but aren't yellow is super, super goofy. Okay, 100% chance to avoid every ailment and breaks some builds, man. Okay, being immune to curses that also breaks some builds. I'd like them to be, I'd like it to be yellow, okay? Reasonably, I think these are re-right. I said too reasonable, I'm not well. PDR kind of breaks my builds' damage and I know immune to curses D.

I just don't work ignite builds just won't work. Now, if you want to make it right, let's say you don't want to make it yellow. You only want to have immunities yellow. Make it like 50% chance to avoid hell. You could have it like 70% chance to avoid Elemental ailments. Okay, it's going to be rough, but now it's still doable. Once I get that one, once I get some prolith maybe an explosion. But yeah, immunic curses make it, you know, 80% reduced effective curses. All right, sick. I can curse them and my build still works. And uh, that cold calling thing on 20% or less life, that's crazy. Okay, how that works against lowlife players where they just like die. Okay, change that wording where it's like C players, whatever it's got to be. But I don't, I don't think I like do does Expedition really need to be just like calling lowlife players all the time.

it's just so silly. It just feels so silly. One big one halfway through the video for some. Okay, all large sweep of scarabs. I would love a huge sweep of scarabs, but I'll go with a large one for now. Okay, I'll settle for that. I just want to go ahead and list all the scarabs that I think uh are kind of just ass and saw almost no use through the whole league. Ays Scarab of emptiness, but Bet traal Scarab of perpetuation, Beyond Scarab of corruption, Beyond Scarab of resurgence, delirium Scarab of delusions, delirium Scarab of neurosis, delirium Scarab of paranoia, you three incursion Scarab of Champions, and Invasion influencing Scarab of the Elder and shaper Legion Scarab of Eternal conflict, Legion Scarab of command, Sulfi Scarab of fumes, torment Scarab of release, and peculiarity, porn Scarab of tradition, Scarab of whisp, and probably a few more. Now you might disagree with a

couple of these but you sure as [ __ ] ain't disagreeing with them all. It seems a little bit crazy to have scarabs this many of them that seem to not be very useful at all. Especially sucks when it's like three scarabs in a specific mechanics category that are just kind of like right you never you never use them. Now maybe like an ssf you know this is a trade trade cuck's opinion okay me know me me want currency me know want delirium reward Meo Farm poster Jewel except in t-17s little no Atlas passes for the league mechanic get [ __ ] off the tree. Okay if you want to make a cute little tree I love that okay torch light does that you get a cute little passive tree every single time okay. I like that that's fun necropolis nodes on the atlas tree were just so boring like make it better make it better make them drop more make them drop more make them better there's no choice the keystones.

were like all right it sucks now uh but you don't have to think it's like wow like lovely okay. I just don't like them. I I I think increased effect of map mods should be removed off the tree too too. Gab drop nodes should be removed off the tree like we shouldn't be specking into these things. I want to Speck into like I get more boxes. I get more shrines. I get an extra Legion. An extra breach right some [ __ ] where I'm actually going to feel it right. Like I spec into 12% more likely of rarer scarabs and I have to do like a 500 map sample size to compare and say like you know I made a couple extra divines that node was actually pretty good no man man. I want the breach to be faster you know like I I want to put my points where it's fun where I feel it where it's cool not just like oh yes every tree take the effect take the scarabs take the insert League mechanic.

name nodes and then you get 70 points. 80 points whatever it is to play around with for the rest of your tree. Good luck. Yeah, it just ain't fun. I don't like it more chaos SS. I know I talk smack about the t7 rolling but more chaos SS would be nice. More ways to fight inflation. GGG just made voided Maps more likely to drop. That's cool. We're going to void more characters. More gear is going to get lost. That ain't a really good sync though cuz it's really hypers specialized characters and you shouldn't be dying when you're farming these but chaos sinks. I think we need a couple man. That would be nice. Now I don't know how you're going to do it but don't make meing click once for every chaos you want to sink into the economy please. Okay. I love the K map mod stuff. Maybe you make them more powerful and more expensive. I don't know. It probably won't work much. Yeah, I don't know more chaos SS. They're good. Yeah, the economy is

just like way too efficient. We are way too damn good at this game these days to not have massive currency SNS so that everything don't feel so insane when you hit month one month two especially in these four month leaks Gladiator and Raider buff changes. Can I get a heal yeah uh I don't know man make Gladiator cool uh maybe he reduces some of the non-block damage damage maybe that's really op and uh glad op or something. I don't know okay that is kind of would be kind of busted okay but come on man give him something give him something block feels so cringe on glad. It's just like bro you play Bleed glad and it feels like that's it other than that you yoink stuff on a champion or you yoink stuff on a Slayer and that's it that's glad you get Arena charges on your Champion that's Gladiator. I don't like that same with Raider you just yo stuff if you're a dead eye. Now Raider's kind of you know it could be kind of cool you get to

go fast and it's, you know, whatever, but think could use a little bit right, make it make it real cool, make it even faster. I don't know, do something. Okay, that was a ton of cool stuff to look forward to. Now that we're at the end of the video and everybody who's watching is going to keep watching, let's talk about the bad. Here are some Nerfs, okay? Here are Nerfs I want. Here are Nerfs I think will happen, and no, I won't differentiate, so you can't be upset at me. Corpse skills are going to have corpse scaling removed outright. It's just going to be L damage now, hold the plug. Okay, no more percent HP, no more corpses, no more [ __ ] DD or chain DD. Okay, Lancing spray will probably have projectiles reduced and or frequency. Holy Relic will probably have to be Cyclone if they want to keep playing Ark Mage. I imagine it's going to get some, okay. AR Mage is probably getting a little tickle, and you know what, it's going to be a little tickle.

and you know what, it's still going to be fine, but technically less people will play it just because it technically got nerfed, and that's all it takes. Okay, adorned I think it's going to get nerfed to be like 50 to 100 something range. Okay, honestly, Adorn probably won't get nerfed, but that would be kind of nice. Hex blast is going to get a small damage nerf, and then everybody just plays hex blast of contradiction. Lightning arrow is going to get a small damage nerf, uh, seismic trap will get prematurely nerfed just 'cause of that one anointment because of jungler sweet. Please, please, please go. Can you imagine? And sanctum is going to give 10% less divines, and that's going to scare a bunch of people off of sanctum, and we'll hopefully stave off a little more inflation. Okay, we need the FED PGG, we need the FED to come pick our door down and stop the Divine printing, stop the chaos and scare printing, okay.

In summary, inflation is bad. Corpse skills are bad. Necropolis is bad. Melee buff kill monster in map. I'll see you guys on Thursday.

Poe Is OVER If 3.25 Is Another Dog Water League...

Tripolar Bear

The community is eagerly awaiting these updates for a more balanced and exciting gameplay experience.

Frustrations with Map Farming in Path of Exile

Players are frustrated with the tedious process of map farming, especially at tier 17, due to the overwhelming amount of modifiers and the need to constantly roll for the right ones.

The "Back to Basics" modifier is particularly disliked and players feel it should be removed to avoid making the game unenjoyable.

There is a strong desire for old league mechanics to be buffed to make the farming experience more enjoyable and less burdensome.

They also discuss the lack of usefulness of certain scarabs in the game.

Additionally, they express a need for improvements in the Atlas tree, specifically regarding necropolis nodes and keystones, to provide more choices and better drops.

Removing or reducing the impact of certain skill tree nodes, and introducing more fun and impactful nodes, could enhance the gaming experience.

There is a need for more chaos sinks in the economy to prevent hyper specialization and make the game feel less overwhelming in the early months of play.
