It's nothing special and the added difficulty of the mods versus what you make in a map is so skewed towards wasting your time that it's a non-starter for anyone serious about making currency in this game.

BS, run normal T16 8mod vs T16 6mod with 4xx% currency multiplier, the difference is gigantic, they're still OP	Posted by Rikku#7536 on Jul 1, 2025, 11:56:19 AM Quote this Post

I honestly had fun. That change was unnecessary. "We've just spent six years making expansions for path of exile, so imagine if we released path of exile 2 and it was just a bare campaign with none of that extra content. This would be a sad shell of an action RPG compared to the current state of path of exile."	Posted by Aim_High#3562 on Jul 1, 2025, 12:48:32 PM Quote this Post

I've not run a single corrupted 8 mod t16.5 but have run plenty of normal self-rolled t16.5s and the normal destructive play strat with 1c scarabs and have over 300 divs in gear and more in my stash. You'll be fine. In fact I never use any of the crazy juicing strats in any league and still wind up with a shitload of currency. People always overexaggerate these things every single league. It's hilarious.	Posted by Saf3tyhazard#3440 on Jul 1, 2025, 2:23:50 PM Quote this Post
" Rikku#7536 wrote: Didn't kill anything, they're still OP you just have to roll them Exactly! Now, if you want those juicy maps, you actually have to put in some self-effort, but I guess that's asking too much for some. Some players always get spoiled by an easy mechanic and then get all sad when an unintended interaction gets gutted. It’s not like the maps aren’t still there, they just need a little more work now. People just aren’t used to not being able to brain-off autopilot their way to perfect, auto-rolled maps anymore.

Funny jokes dude. just had 2 of them yesterday.. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mercenaries/aX8Wwr8Ce try scour & alc, can make you a guide if needed :) anyway, i was more thinking of 400% inside map after atlas which requires just a few rerolls & no special chisels. Those are already a HUGE difference to 8mod normal maps. But 400% before atlas is also a thing, so like 8xx% inside the map just as good as 8mod normal maps? yeah sure :) Last edited by Rikku#7536 on Jul 2, 2025, 11:01:03 AM	Posted by Rikku#7536 on Jul 2, 2025, 3:53:36 AM Quote this Post
Kinda what I'm feeling. Feels like I should just be playing standard. This league blows. I'd rather do a while season of Phrecia lol. I feel like my entire interaction with this league was... click 1 mercenary to get the one I wanted on a t16, slap a leer cast on him, and bam end of league. Just zero interesting mechanics. The t16.5's are just T16's with slightly more annoying mods and some BS f2,f3, f4 mechanic I ain't gonna take the time to read, and some gimpy bosses.
