Sanctum is absolute waste of time in ANY term possible.

I saw rares in sanctum and skipped it. This things can't be healthy for that mode.
Even the gutted version of sanctum is heavily rewarding. But I mean sure it's a waste of time if you can't finish in average 2 or more full sanctum runs an hour lol.

Sanctum ain't gonna reward you much on a slow clear speed
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

For me problem is not the mobs, it is the traps eventually wearing you down unless you find enough fountains. GGG tries to force hardcore experience on players who didn't choose hardcore ever since labyrinth, but at least you can outregen + rush damage from lab traps if you aren't interested of interacting with them "properly".

Sanctum is lab 2.0, where your defenses don't matter, and traps cannot be bypassed. You have to eat hardcore experience because Vision.

If you have an advice on how to ignore sanctum traps, I would be grateful to hear it.

It's seems so strange to me that most people hate the reworked sanctum.

I find it easier in general, and by far the most enjoyable part or the game as it is right now.

With all the terrible performance issues, the super boring league mechanic (imho), and lack of new expansion, little to no meta shift and so on...Sanctum feels like some nice remote island where none of the above matters.

You get very good xp even above 94-95, great loot if you can finish all four floors, with some investment you can get all the relics you need to breeze through the floors and most importantly; no performance issues that heats up your cpu more than any 2023 AAA game, lol.


The only thing I'm salty about is that four beam totem room at floor 4, and maybe the meteor rooms could trigger a little less frequently.

Totally understandable.

Both mechanics offer an alternative way to enjoy the game instead of grinding maps and bosses and can be very profitable in their own way.
Sanctum was always dogs*it.

sometimes they do, but we also are in a league where you can die with no exp penalty while gaining decent exp in the ToTA, and they let easy cheesy 5-way exp exist for way too long. I think it's more accurate to think of the game and the devs as hardcore, and its less about forcing stuff on people, rather, they make what they find fun and sometimes that's too hardcore for a good chunk of the audience.

hard disagree.

sanctum was my most favourite league since open beta. i rarely ever get to say that for all other leagues. its usually a tie between a few mechanics.

but to me sanctum is hands down the best. its slow af, but rewards players who dont have much MF or are weaker.

it rewards skill based playstyle. (until you delete everything in seconds).


but with the most recent reintroduction of sanctum?

meh... i ll have to meet you halfway.

rares in sanctum took away sanctum's high skill based structure and slapped a random jackpot into it.

i dont want to imagine having mirror as a potential reward and getting absolutely wrecked by some bitch ass regen, cycling resists paired with lightning mirages/fire ball shit/ touched or runs away once in a while.
