Is the blight good ? Should I start playing now ?

Personally I don't suggest it.

but if you like tower defense games, sure by all means exile.

Blight is awesome; I say go for it.

i think it is worth to play.
I guess the oils will come to core game and then it will be hard to get enough oils for the not so much used standard graveyard characters later. But those passive nodes at amulets are so good and it saves about 5 passive nodes to have something like +1spectre, what is huge. Like a 5 levels for nothing gift.
I am already hording oils for all my older character´s amulets.

And it was told before, the new master missions are really nice. You can run just temples or just delve as long you have open missions. No longer hoping to find a specific master in a map without using scarabs.

And it is fun.

So I had a break from the game and was wondering if it is worth playing from now for this league ? I was thinking of starting an SSF BLIGHT poison build. any output is appreciated :)

YES, jump in and play. The 2nd half of Blight or any league is better because:

1. More minor patches = fewer bugs
2. Fewer players = smoother play in general
    a) fewer game sessions per server simulation cpu = lower latency
    b) less data traffic load on the Networklayer fiber of Softlayer = less packet loss.
       (I see packet loss as the #1 reason for lag, freezes, and DCs)

Only reason not to play now is if you are looking to buy most of your gear as fewer players = harder to find an online buyer. But playing SSF takes that option away so no worries there.

Just affirming what others have said...

The Master mission mechanic works really well - totally brilliant actually. Worth playing a bit in standard just to check it out, even if you don't want to level a new toon in Blight.

Annointed amulets are an excellent mechanic that is useful for anyone. Unfortunately, the overall Blight mechanic is a bit like Legion in being designed around a certain type of build. Yes, you can do the basic encounters with a simple melee build, but success depends somewhat on the (random) layout. A necro build makes the basic encounters too easy, but makes the maps doable, although the map drop rate is very low anyway.

I never had any interest in necro, but it turns out there are some very interesting and different options for doing it. If you've done it all before, there may not be anything worth trying, but if you haven't done much (or any) necro, you might be surprised.

On poison being not so great, I think that depends on your expectations. Poison is not close to being as OP as necro, but I'm sure it's perfectly playable. In fact, I will probably do one as a last toon in the league.

Cheers

It's only low in white maps, as soon as you hit yellows it's great, and it's fucking fantastic when you're running decked out reds.

I haven't had much time to play. Had two drop while finishing whites, and none so far in yellows - which are about half complete with another 30 or so in inventory.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "decked out". When I run maps I alch and go for yellows. Plus chisel + Vaal for reds. If that's enough to get a solid drop rate, I look forward to it, but my white and yellow experience is not that.

I would suggest Icicle miner, the other soon to be gutted OP character.
Especially this late in the league, I haven't used anything specific so it's been cheap and effortless. There are lot's of good guides.
Throw mines, hit detonate, gather loot. Repeat. It's been fun, don't get me wrong, he is quite elusive and deals A LOT of damage.

Apparently they finally fixed the pump spawn bug (nearly 50~ days) after the league was released. So yeah, I'd say it's a good time to start, have fun!

Not quite, level 94, running juiced reds, have had a total of 11 Blighted maps drop.
