"Definitive Deviation" Challenge

I'm grinding for my 40/40 challenges and I'm having problems to complete "Definitive Deviation".
I am currently trying to focus on pathing towards the Pacts as I am missing mostly major afflictions . But it seems that I only get 1 major boon/affliction every second or third sanctum I run, and 90% of the time it offers me one I already have completed.
I expect it to get nerfed soon, as everyone is having issues with the challenge.
How many sanctums does GGG expect us to run on average in order to complete this crazy ,total rng challenge ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Besides some major afflictions cant complete even if i get them !
From the challenge guide :
you won’t get challenge completion from Major Affliction/Boon(Glass Shard/Crystal Shard) that get consumed before completing the floor even though you already got it, so make sure try not consume it first before completing the floor to get its challenge completion.

GGG , do something about it.

Doubtful it'll get nerfed. Every league that has such a challenge it's always the same pattern--everyone complains but nothing is done.

I hope they will change it at least.

there are challenges like this to make it seem like the league mechanic is played a lot. last league it was something with the kalandra rings.

Kalandra rings was piece of cake comparing to this rng challenge..

if it wasnt for this challenge a LOT of people would probably just skip sanctum.

they might change it close to league end so 40/40 addicts can get it done but for now i doubt they will. they still want people to play the mechanic

They could try making it fun enough that people would WANT to do it. Or have enough build diversity to appeal for multiple runs instead of making some stupid challenges incredibly rare and random...

39/40 challenges here as well, and also stuck at 11/17 on Definitive Deviation.
Multiple stash tabs full of relics, even after selling a bunch 5-to-1 to reroll.

This is the first league I've tried for 40/40 but if it comes down to spamming Act 10 Ossuary like others have suggested I'd probably play something else to not burn out on PoE before the next league. Already burnt out on plowing through stash tabs of easy layout maps to sanctum / boss rush just for this.

Definitive Deviation feels poorly tuned, to be honest. Perhaps 17 was set as a target and then the major/minor boon rates were subsequently tweaked without revisiting this challenge?

Cheers for a great league though -- definitely one of the best I can recall.
