OK. We need to talk about abyss. Unfortunately abyss is in a truly poor state. It lacks all of the good qualities from abyss in PoE2. Context: I've been trying all kind of abyss combos: - 5 Abyss scarabs + astrolabe - Absurd maps ( For them to drop anything worthwhile I need to get 300%rarity memory maps + +pantheon+wisp scarabs + 60%+ delirium) - Bossing Unfortunately it seems whatever I do, Abyss is just not worth running. Here are the concrete issues: - General drops from abyss are in a very poor. Even in hyper juiced up scenarios, it doesn't seem worth doing. - Abyss chests don't seem to scale at all with the map and have abyssmal drops. Coffers in nightmare maps will typically drop 4-8 currencies at alchemy or below alchemy tier. Getting a chaos from a coffer is rather rare. - The lich fights are all taking way too long. Most builds spend 90% of the time waiting for the phase transitions. Additionally the abyssal depth itself is not profitable at all - A single alchemied exarch map run usually provides more loot than a full-scarabed, astrolabed, deliriumed abyss - Chests rise up very slowly. - The perk to rarely get a scarab-chest is made obsolete by the existence of the operative strongboxes Wishlist: - Remove the phase transitions from liches or limit them to 1 - Massively buff coffer and abyss chest loot - Massively buff abyssal depth rarity/quantity and/or add chests thee - Increase coffer spawn speed - Give abyss mobs exclusive mods that make them harder and way more rewarding. Is it just my perception. What do you think?
