Scourge is fun, but one thing kills it for me...

+1

Everyone seems so focused on the Scourge mechanic being 'Delirium 2.0' or whatever. Jury's still out whether I personally like it, but it seems like it's designed to be frequent pop-in pop-out, instead of Delirium's longer fight against a timer.

Turn on mechanic in one spot, kill any mobs in the immediate vicinity, pop back out, move and kill a bit in the 'real world', repeat in new location once meter is back up. (Or run back to previous location to activate, if you really want to finish off some rare you couldn't last run.)

This avoids backtracking for any loot and seems further incentivized by how you come out in the same location where you went in.

You get it in the second zone of the game i.e. the Coast...

I mean the actual thing you slot into your character.

As soon you leave Lioneye's Watch you meet The Last to Die. You talk to her and she gives you the crucible.

Yea and if you just head straight out of town instead of going slightly up you can just miss it.

Just round around near lioneye's for a bit and she should show up but somehow this league is just missable.

wait till you guys get to maps.

the mechanic changes ALOT when you get to maps, you activate the crucible and get shredded by packs of aura stacking rares. every mob you kill makes them deal 1% more damage. good luck LOL
