i wish they would remove certain map mods, the ones that have no purpose

I'd still like them to try.

I think we should be able to craft the map mods in Crafting Bench, so ggg could maintain / re-add dangerous mods like reflect, blood magic etc.

It would be risk and reward, the more difficult the mod, the better the amount of monsters, items and rarity.
In compensation, easier mods would be cheaper to craft

I just think there should be no absolutes in these mods, for example, instead of "you cant regenerate life and mana" make so life and mana regen are reduced by 80%. The only curse that needs work is temporal chain(maybe make so blue/rare monsters have a temporal chain blasphemy that covers the entire screen). The ground effects are deadlier for me because in some maps i can't even see the monsters lol(especially shock grounds). And if they want to keep Reflect make so every build can be f** by it (make a minions /traps/totems damage is reflect to the player and add chaos reflect).

dude just use a chaos orb. Of course u can run it.

The only mod that really needs removing is temp chains. This is just there to piss off people who would ordinarily be game to run any mod, any time. It's a true currency sink of the worst, most useless, most tiresome kind.

One or two rare mobs that curses you with temp chains in an otherwise clean map - fine.

Temp chains for ten minutes straight = nope

I like them all. Forces you to actually think about building something that can handle them all or at least a many as possible.


I've have a few toons who could do all map mods including reflect and i was very satisfied with them - not many though.

It's so awesome to run unid maps without worry.

Anyway it's just another thing that makes this game so deep while it's just an ARPG

They have purpose. Its purpose is currency sink. They already removed the worst mods, like blood magic (yes, in the past you could roll Blood Magic on maps). They also made so flasks give us immunity to curses from maps (in the past you had to either deal with curses or reroll them). Nowadays the only mod we are rerolling is reflect (not even that while playing totems/traps/mines/chaos skills)

So many toons can handle reflect. Any chaos user, Any elementalist, Any one speced into Yugul/and other reflect mitigations like ash frost and storm, miners, trappers and on and on. I dont even consider it a "hard mod" BM was fun though sad to see it go

Just use a flask.

Or invest in gear if you dislike it that much, and kill too slowly to use a flask.

Every mod has a counter, their purpose is to challenge builds by increasing difficulty. Same goes for reflect which has a significant amount of ways to counter it, and everything else.

That's the entire point of map mods.

there are 300 different mods but you'll still see these build breakers 1 in 4 maps

PoE isnt supposed to be played by just one character/for league.

You can just create new characters or sell/trade the maps u cant run.

Also, the builds that "can run anything" its usually a very good startleague builds exactly becaues of this.

there is some kind of "strategy" behind this mods and I like that. Removing it from the game because you don't want to sell/vendor/create a new character makes absolutely no sense.
