The changed Niko atlas 'buff' being now temporary seems like a bad change.

In particular the problem is now that it's just as strong for builds that are already fast clearers, as they can keep the buff the whole time they're clearing; but its much weaker for low dps builds or builds that are otherwise weak/having difficulty.

I thus think it's bad to have the buff still exist, but be temporary.

I'd guess the problem is not adequately considering how a change affects both high end and low end play; and to avoid exacerbating the differences between them.

I can quite understand feeling it was too powerful at it was; but any fix should affect high and low end play equally, or do less to weaken it at the low end than at the high end.

Yeah this change made it so I'll just never take that node again lol, it sucks for people that take 10-20 mins to clear a map and like to loot a lot of stuff. 1 minute is way too short, might aswell not exist for me. I used it last league with the exp scarab to hit 100 in Dunes, got a few sets of The Fortunate too. It was fun, but GGG decided to delete that exp farming strat because we have to have lvl100 be the most boring,monotonous grind ever. Classic "no fun allowed". So now I really just have no reason to use this niko node at all lol
Not worth it anymore for me too.

The funny thing is I never used that atlas node until last league, necropolis was the only time I took it for mapping and then the next league they nerf it so its unusable by 90% of players lol
