Scourge has the same density and danger, maybe even worse cause you can't predict what will be there on the other side. Yeah league mechanics and channelling skills. Remember Synth league where they introduced Divine Ire. A rush league with a standing still skill, made perfectly sense. Well I did play the old Storm Blast in that league up to 97, it worked, but with monsters like scourge there would have been no way I got to 97 lol.

Honestly Scourge is not even that rippy (at least before you reach 150-200 stacks). Synthesis, Legion, Betrayal, Heist, maybe few more leagues were way more rippy during its "prime time". Hell even Incursion when it came out, it pretty much made everyone to cap spell dodge and chaos res, otherwise you would be deleted by chaos spitters.

That said, I've played on and off since 2013. I've only ever followed one build guide, as I tend to enjoy doing my own thing; half my builds are trying different totem spells, so I'm not reinventing the wheel each time. That said, tonight I had more deaths than the entire rest of the league combined at level 82...and in a level 70 map. (one of the deaths may have been from a dif night.) Below I'm going to link a gif and picture. My character is far from good, but these deaths make me...uhg...miss D3's style of difficulty. Feel free to criticize my gear, build, or the way I play... I don't mind. My motivation to keep playing is incredibly low, so I wouldn't argue against anyone telling me I just suck. Anyway, here's the gif (of 4 short clips. 18 sec total.) https://gfycat.com/completebrownblacklab And here is a picture of the map, modifiers, and my stats. https://imgur.com/a/oC5S4oJ Nope, not res capped, but I never needed to be at this level in low maps before. Anyways, I'm done with excuses...tell me what I'm doing wrong, or don't. Not sure what I'm expecting posting this here, but here we go. Yes, my display picture is basically me right now. tbh have not checked your character but since 3.15 so last league don't know if u played it but shit got real. and don't actually mean it in a good way but a shit ton got wrecked. so u actually have to get a decent/nice defence. just clear speed dps won't do that much this league sadly. specially while doing the league mechanic when mobs gank on you like (deez) nuts... gotta build around it. had a hard time making builds for 3.15 and this league as well always build my own builds as well and gotta say when u finally made ur own build it does feel that much better after all these nerfs though :) so either keep working on making a build that suits you or follow a working build or come back another league i guess? also yes didn't read everything so whatever i'm about to sleep just wanted to give a few pennies of my thoughts. also watched ur gify... probably have 0 block/eva in ur build and ur ganked by mobs lmao kind of easy to fix that tbh. 3.26 when? Don't abandon us. don't turn your backs on the ones loving poe.	Posted by satanttin#4601 on Nov 5, 2021, 4:59:39 PM Quote this Post

I just took a look over your char. The biggest mistake you make is not putting a multiple totems support in your setup. You run around placing 2 totems when hierophant and your shield is designd around shitting as many totems out as possible. The usual meta here would be to get a six linked soul mantle then deal with the curses by wearing 2 kikazu rings and put in a self flagglation jewl for more deeps. Watch a guide for this. But yeah, this league is stupidly rippy. I wanted to try the new energy blade thing as league starter, fiddleing myself through the content until i "master" it. The moment i reached maps i was constantly dieing to oneshots. I dont know what they have done with the game but it definitly feels much more unforgiving then ever before. ( i dont talk about scourge which is a issue by itself.) I then made a hcssf char which is indeed insanly tanky but i still manage to get oneshot in middle maps (around t-10 ish) here and there. The current league meta is all about utilising the new Masterys and Defence Mechanisms as best as possible. Its a defence heavy league where you cant just adopt a little bit here and there. You must go all def from the beginning to the end and add a bit dmg here and there. Exact like in HC. This is the league, the HC chars in Softcore league^^	Posted by blakeks#3304 on Nov 6, 2021, 12:21:00 AM Quote this Post

You really really need to start following a reliable build guide and work with a clan or guild to get past the gating of meaningful league yield with this season. With resources being as scarce as they are outside of scourge material, you need an economy of scale to optimize your character to actually do well in scourge. It's getting to the point where GGG might as well post "these are the skills your supposed to use this league, divergent players will be punished". As they are heavily nerfing things to the point a meta build is required if you want to participate in league mechanics now. You can't just 'do' the league stuff, you need to finish w/e it is in 5-10 seconds as well or you fail.	Posted by Asmosis#7365 on Nov 6, 2021, 5:25:13 AM Quote this Post
