Don't nerf Sanctum

Sanctum is also one of very few mechanics that bypass "harder content = more reward" (except the Original Sin run).
As you "juice" up Sanctum more with relics, it becomes easier, not harder, while also giving more rewards.

no those are definitely things you need unless you want it to be way harder and take ages


Funny how you switch around the use of "need" and "want" here.

I do however agree with you a little bit here; you do NEED a specialized build if you want Sanctum to be worth your time in terms of time investment, especially if you're a "not-so-good" player. Which is totally OK. You also need a very specialized build to do deep delves. But then again, as long as your use of the word "need" is followed by the word "if", you don't really need it, you want it.



Yeah, and we also need specific build to clear those giga juiced T16/T17 maps that "make mirrors per day".
EVERY single strat in this game needs specific build made for it if you want to minmax it. Except Sanctum doesnt need to be minmaxed to give ridiculus amount of raw currency.


the original guy i replied to called using specialized sanctum builds "cheesing" it's not that's the point i was making and sanctum needs hundreds of divs for the best strat too you're not going to start sanctum and make 10div hour without using relics and without running it fast

ideally you'll be taking many pacts on your way in order to roll for rewards which make sanctum much harder to run if you're on some bs build like the other dude said was all that you need you're gonna fail 9/10 of those runs where you're taking every affliction and the ones that you don't fail even if you've found 5 divs on the path the run took so long that's all you made that hour

10 div/h is something you can make in sacntum w.o minmaxed relics on some random build you use as ur mapper. As long you have working brain and hands and dont fail runs.
so dumb to think sanctum is easy the reward is equal to the diffuculty u can rip easy ur run and lose everything ar ur time.

whats the point nerfing it?

There isn't any really, if they nerf (or remove) it not a single one of those whiners will have a better poe experience
But they'll keep whining, some because a random streamer told them to do so

Also so many exaggerate about the rewards here, it's good but not broken as you're missing out on SO MUCH stuff outside of sanctum not just T17s

Sanctum is the easiest high reward content, but I don't really think it matters that it is. Somethings always going to have that title and i don't really think it skews the economy that much its just how some players make their wonga early league while others boss rush or sell harvest juice etc.

My only beef with the whole system is i think it should be a little more cheese proof, but that's so hard to do that its probably just easier to leave it as is.

well you pay it with that uberboring gameplay for those 15-20 min per run and doing it hours long? Only people who enjoy 6 hours of aqueduct farming would also say that you don't pay a price running sanctum.

If you take longer btw (meaning no relic uber setup worth 50+ divs) you won't run it in 15 min with good profits, it will be a lot less. more like 30 min and no guaranteed div drops.

for sure if they gut the rewards the boring gameplay will not be worth it

Heist had simillar problem in the past - it was very rewarding, but 99% of playerbase hated it with passion and would rather watch paint dry that run it.
In perfect world the reward of it would be nerfed and the "fun" of it would be buffed.
