So, I stopped doing the Scourge mechanic and. .

I am starting to feel it with both Currency and Maps.

Doing Scourge is effectively doing 2 Maps for 1. While at the same time, letting you "Juice" up 2 other maps. It is an efficient system and I feel basic drops have been "adjusted" for it. (Just by going off my limited experience of last league. Only played for 3 weeks to a month.)

My problem though is, without Scourge. I don't know how to Sustain my map generation. I have all my Watch Stones. Though, I only keep 4 in at a time for the zone I am in. Someone told me to do it this way. Doing maps, and getting nothing in return.

What should I be rolling on Watch stones? How do I increase quantity and density on maps? I put some Sacrifice Fragments in with a map because someone told me it adds 5% but I have no idea where it is in game to confirm. I don't feel anything extra.

All my currency has come from Heist. Not that I am complaining, just a shame I "can't" do current league mechanics. Why can't I you may ask?

All the god fucking damn one shots. That is why.

I can do T16 maps without dying. 10 boss Rush Maven invitations, without dying. All of the Influence bosses and maps, without dying.

Then I hit "V" and enter a Scourge map and boom. Dead. Why? Good question.

My sanity, and any enjoyment for this game started to deteriorate. If I continued to Scourge I would of uninstalled. But, now. I need help finding other means to supplement my income.

How can I do this? What should I be running? How do you favor maps? What maps do I favor?

I have so many questions... and all of them stem from not being willing to put myself through Scourge anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

I already told you how to fix your build. You told me to fuck off.

Sigh. Once again, did I ask about ANYTHING for fixing my build? No. I did not. I asked for ideas and help with how to sustain maps and currency as every other content outside of scourge is easily do-able for me.

I REALLY don't know what your problem is. My build is Fine. My gear is "acceptable" and still a work in progress. What do you expect me to do, pull perfect stats out my ass without the currency I am asking for how to farm?

Seriously man, get off your high horse and stay out of threads I make if this is your attitude.

No you are right. I am sorry for suggesting that you get throw speed on build with slow throw speed. Its just absurd isn't it, it would be like recommending a self-cast build to get cast speed. Who would do that?

And you are right, the jewels I suggested that cost 1c each and belt craft that uses 1c essences is obviously way out of your budget.

i read throw speed, so i assume your traps or mines. Throw decoy totem before pressing V I read that somewhere as advice, might be worth a try.

when your build is a glass cannon, you have to kill things before they kill you. If you are too slow and your hits land too late, you die.. Especially in scourge content when you often work with lots of increased damage taken on you

I stopped doing scourge and have had zero issues with map sustain. It actually got better.

Only running t15-16s. Are you not rolling your maps first with chizels and a few chaos to get good quant %s? And Vaal'ing the 16s for the random 120-140%'ers?

That would be the only thing I could think of. The scourge mechanic is dogshit bad, but the core game itself is the best it's been in a long time IMO.

My RF main can just fly around the screen with scourge and has no issue with the nightmare, but my new trapper fun-toon just ignores it entirely. So far the entire gameplay has been better.

There's also just default RNG, where lets say you run 5 maps and you want to sustain the high tiers (15-16). You have a decent chance to get some bad luck and have a gap. VERSUS if you're running 100 maps, and juicing them all correctly (above + sextants at least) you will 100% see sustain.

I would look to buy maps that you can do easily in bulk. maybe a specific map or just a certain tier of map. Then run them until they are all gone. and don't use any of the maps that you gained while doing these maps and save em for later. This should help sustain you.

I haven't used Vaal orbs on maps yet. To be honest, that slipped my mind. I don't even know what kind of rolls can happen with those orbs. I will try that.


I also heard that you can Favor maps for higher likelihood of them dropping. How do I do that? How do I unlock that?

Some of these maps I get, I don't like doing. They are very large with poor density, or just maze like layouts. Not fun to do if I am being honest.
