Your thoughts on Ruthless replacing regular for league events?

its good for streamers.

for everyone else, naaaah

Would be nice if it was good for at least someone, but I'm not seeing it streamed much either.

I don't really think that ruthless is managing the 'ultimate vision of PoE going back to its roots', I was around to nibble on those roots and this feels more like 'modern PoE, only someone kicked it in the nuts'.

Well, I pretty much called exactly this when some said "you don't have to play it", so it isn't anything surprising. Sure, you don't absolutely have to play it, but you kinda do if you want to play end league filler events and enter the mtx lottery.

At least I don't see Ziz doing a ruthless gauntlet, it's clear enough by now that the mode isn't very popular.

got to 45 and stopped and it was pure pain. Well now know for sure i will never play ruthless again no matter wat :D

Level 45, you gave Ruthless a very fair try. Now you know. I loved it, at least through the storyline. It is not for everyone though.

playing ruthless with gold, not a big fan.

can't get above tier 7 maps for some reason and not having auras actually sucks balls.

i don't mind the slower pace but it's all a bit too much to be honest.

I do wish that they considered aura gems active skill gems that can be bought with uncarved gemstone. Since this is a niche mode though, I don't expect them to budge on that point.

Still seeking my determination gem in Ruthless SSF Sanctum. I guess I could migrate to trade for it.

I stopped after act 5, mostly because it's a voided league. After getting my +1 dagger at lvl 20, I wouldn't risk getting my first mirror drop in a voided league, lol.


Now I started playing SSF R, act 6, capped resists, lvl 56 so far, all good. Until maps should be a walk in the park.

I hit a support gem wall. I'm almost level 80 and using Cyclone-Pulverize-Additional Accuracy-Melee Physical Damage 4-link which is actually not that bad all things considered. But definitely not the links anyone would choose with better options. If I could find Petrified Blood I would use one of the two bloodlust supports I found. I guess I could just run low life with high risk.

SSF Ruthless is rough for support gems.

Melee in Ruthless SSF, yeah.

If you're going to do Ruthless, you might as well go all in. I was ground slam until recently because of socket colors.

Finished the campaign in Ruthless SSF, I'd say it was as easy as a regular league start for my build (Cold DoT). Damage was ok for the whole campaign without support gems, tankiness was also ok, the only issue was that I did not have boots with movement speed until act 10.

But in maps it's getting grindy... XP penalty is quite high after level 72, map sustain is bad and master missions are a lot harder to get. After reaching T5 maps, now I'm back to T2 because I'm out of T3/T4/T5. Kirac's inventory has only maps that I completed and I don't have any missions to reset his inventory. I guess I'm stuck in low tier maps for a while.
