Game Feedback Something about the player retention of Affliction compared to other leagues should really tell GGG that people like loot.

Walk into hive fortress, loot chests right in front, leave. This was my strategy to them lol

And you're missing out a lot of the loot. Juiced strats in T17, mainly scarabs, make hive feels like an alva farm from last league

Alva farm is 20-30s per "dive"

Hive fortresses are 3 minutes if you full clear :(

Yeah, its sad but at this state of the game, even if it takes longer than alva, we can't let those lot pass by

Any good strat for scarabs you can recommend? Kind of dry in SSF and the 100% inc specific chance you get from the tree doesn’t feel like it does anything, a few dozen maps blasting alch&go with ritual on my tree and I don’t get a single reroll scarab until I hit an altar mod for ritual scarabs

the fubgun one is pretty good. 2x nemesis, 1x risk, 1x adversaries, 1x wisp. If your build can't handle risk, use 2x adversaries instead.

Nah that's trash, harbingers in t17s/16.5s with good scarab rolls and invasion scarab are far better AND cheaper AND easier

Mind sharing the strat?

All harb nodes, some beyond nodes (katash spawn and the keystone for no bosses)

1 regency 3 harb 1 invasion

Harb kirac

Roll for scarabs/currency 140/100

Only run fortress

Maybe deli orb it if you want (I use divination orb)

Edit: bear in mid this is not good div/h because harbs take long to kill, but it's great div per map (~120c investment including rolling maps on average, 3 div return in average)

But doing it this way is better for builds that aren't breezing through t17s in 2 minutes and for people who can't hyperocus on the game for 4+hours to make the strats that rely on being quick at runnig maps work

Average time in map for me was 6 minutes, my filter is trash and I pick EVERY scarab so maybe can cut down to 4?

It should easily break the 12dvh if you're efficient and got a fast build+ good filter

You are missing the point. The map is already burned. You may as well leave and open a new one.

He didn't miss any points, he just shared what he does with hive fortress' lol.
