I still feel like T17s killed the loot curve

It is so absurd how you can run a lot of T16s and then waltz into a T17 and click one alter, and drop more scarabs or loot than you will ever see in a T16 session. I didn't even clear the map, and I got 30 Harbi scarabs when having done over 50 T16s and got that alter multiple times and didn't get more than 10.

I guess I will just play meta builds from now on because if you can't do T17s, then it is such a slog to be stuck in T16 farming. Especially in SSF without the scarab sustain. I don't know why it is such a massive jump, and we had to deal with two base rate nerfs since Sentinel.

I get it, everyone playing Trickster had it too easy. Just nerf them and the other unkillable builds instead of constantly raising the bar.

We wouldn't need T17s if GGG didn't keep adding powercreep.
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!

MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish.
Over exaggeration of 17s versus 16s already has been debunked. Its not even twice the amount of loot, its about ~20% more.


But you do you.

Then nerf builds. Not hard. Solve the problem so you don't power creep the game away from every other build.

I'm confused, because you appear to be playing an icenova of frostbolts archmage, which is in fact a meta build and very capable of running juicy t17
