Metamorph is dead, long live the king. Can we have Archnemesis back?

A long time ago, I posted here an idea I had that was basically AN for map bosses, which are in need of an adjustment to difficulty...
Map bosses would occasionally drop a new type of map fragment that, when used in the map device for another map, would empower that map's boss and make it drop more/specific loot. That boss would then drop another, possibly rarer and more valuable fragment. You would be able to put up to four of these into the (upgraded) map device to drastically increase the risk/reward of fighting map bosses and increase the power of the next fragment you get. Considering they could make and sell a new stash tab to support this idea, I think it'd work out nicely. Last edited by D623932883#0055 on Dec 3, 2023, 3:40:43 PM

" They really are. They're the main reason I play so little every league now. Though perhaps if they were to lock AN behind specific gates like all the other old league content in the game, it would be fine? People that liked/wanted AN could have it, and people that disliked (/hated/despised) AN could leave it be. Everyone wins... |

i downright hate AN and hate all remnants of AN
but i am always a supporter of player choice/power. there should always be ways for players to control the content they find. ggg should allow players to further customize their experience with the atlas tree. this should include the inclusion OR removal of content. i would gladly take a node that disabled all AN mods on mobs, and i would gladly rejoice if theres an opposite node that enabled more and old AN mobs. seeing how GGG is pruning content, i dont think its going to happen. i m thankful enough that i dont need to deal with AN as much.

The removal of metamorph has done nothing to anyones currency gains lol. You could fully spec into it, use a scarab and you would get a stack of alchs if you were lucky. Even if you maxed it’s multipliers and selected all currency, legit would just give you armor scrap, transmutations, not even chaos orbs.
Tanes lab was just as bad as well, you would get meme rewards. The off chance that you actually get good currency or good catalyst was so rare as well. There’s a reason they got rid of it 😂 I also can’t think of a build that has only single target as an option, so badly that it can’t do basic mapping. Sounds like a player issue to me.

" Then it's a good thing I didn't say you can't do mapping with bossing builds, huh? However, if you're playing a build that's best designed for bossing, your mapping speed is going to be infinitely worse than, say, Arc, Lightning Arrow, Tornado Shot, etc. That, in turn, means your profit/hour is going to be a lot worse for engaging in content not suitable to your playstyle. And irrespective of how bad Metamorph loot is, it doesn't take away from the point that there is a great deal less variety of things optimal for single-target DPS builds by comparison. Right now, the best options are farming Eater, Exarch, Maven, Uber Elder, and Sanctum. Literally everything else available in the game is more suitable for speed clear setups. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build! And the winds will cry / and many men will die / and all the waves will bow down / to the Loreley |

" ...What? Tshot LA and Arc arent "just mapping abilties" like they are sitting here with the rest of us normies using TR/SRS/EA/DD/Bonezone etc.. They are EXTREME mapping abilities. So much, in fact, that they are arguably the BEST mapping abilities in the game. Dont try to make it sound like mapping standard speed is set at those skills lol. Lets not use hyperbole to try to justify anything. If a player is speccing more single target for bossing... than try not doing that if you care so much about mapping and clear speed lol? Why is this such a hard solution? This would be like me whining about map clear speed if I played ice shot but instead of greater projectile support I put on barrage support. Mash the clean
