So are you playing betrayal league but actually doing everything else but the syndicate

Spending hours to level Catarina, then to go into the fight and get 1 shot like a pigeon. Risk and time that it takes is too damn high and the reward is shit.
GGG really missed with the fight system this league, only thing worth in the syndicate are scarabs, so you have 95% of the ppl doing everything but trying to kill the end boss of the league, so ironic hahaha. Just wonder if GGG ppl who design these leagues actually try and play it, or I dont even know anymore....

1 Shot must go, bad mechanic.

I think GGG must rebalance damage added and extra damage scaling for monsters and boss.

Uber Atziri's double Flameblasts deals more than 50k damage, I saw a guy with over 40k ES get 1 shotted by it and she has been that way for years now, I'm not saying anything but yeah 1 shot is nothing new.


As far as Betrayal goes, worst content ever in PoE, bring back our Delve damn it.

No I do them they're very rewarding.

They really do hurt though like actually legit hurt lol

*throws a seal*

Rin threw a bunch of seals at me in the fucking air and one shot me I was kinda mad T_T

The intervention guys are seriously a joke. I really feel like they are not working as intended. There is almost zero tactic I can employ to NOT die to them. I will admit I am likely not a top tier player, but I do pretty well typically, but compared to almost anything else I've come across they seem wildly unbalanced.

I used to do them on my first character, until I got to level 80ish. Getting one shot isn't what I call fun, so I haven't done any syndicate. The chance of losing 10% exp is not worth killing them.

So you could say that he seal-ed your fate :)

Oh, and as for the actual topic, yes, bang on. I've locked the bastards in the lab and there they will rot for all eternity. Enjoying most of everything else.

For the last dozen or so levels, every time I hit a new level I muck about with the syndicate, raid a safehouse or two, and do a temple of Atzoatl run or two as well. It's a nice little palate cleanser after running the same damned maps over and over. But then, once I'm ready to start grinding out another level I shut down those two dangerous diversions (I find incursions to be as nasty as the syndicate on higher level maps) and stick to the straightforward stuff. Still enjoy the syndicate content though, just not worth the risk when I'm trying to gain xp.

Einhar though, his stuff I do all the way throughout. Not only is it less likely to kill me, he's irresistible. The cheeriest doomsday prepper ever, and I can't say "no".
