Pretty rippy. But all league mechanics are like that. The difference between the base game mobs and league mobs is always too much; but this time I guess they overdid it.

For my Bane Occultist, so far, the only way I can survive is by placing a void sphere, then shifting into nightmare, and immediately hit vaal blight; after that just run around like a headless chicken spamming bane. It works......somewhat.....I'm getting to old for this game....

I feel ya there, 47 yrs. young here, but I have yet to implement void sphere in my Bane build. Right now, I'm just starting to toy with the mana reservation efficiency so I can run Discipline, Malevolence, Grace, and Vitality while still having enough free'd up in the mana pool where I'm not starved. Got a few more notables to get yet though, but holding off on using Discipline for now until then so I can at least be able to evade more crap while going into some more evasion nodes/notables/masteries to make it at least be functional.

armor is infinitely better than evasion.

quick calculation :

after one scourge activation on a tier 1 map, i had 16 stacks

so if at the map tier you need 4k to be fine, 16% more means you suddenly needs 4640 hp, and 5280 hp after second activation.
if you would need 5k hp to be fine at another map tier, you would need 5800 after first activation and 6600 after second.

So goes pretty fast so accept dying or dont get hit.

Scourge is BS. Welcome to the beta test!

After recent patch even 100+ stacks doesnt feel rippy. Welp, now its easy mode currency printing.

Currency printing lol. I Scourged a map 10 times, got lots of "Rare scourge mobs drop %stuff%" and you know what? I got only 1 rare pack in scourge in a whole map! Totally worth it.
In this league you need ways to completely mitigate damage ang since GGG removed dodge this leaves only block. Block is super strong in scourge with "on block" effects like gain ES or HP. The question is how to incorporate it into builds and still have damage to kill stuff.
