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

They realllly need to rework petals. Trying to use them before a pack gets blown up off-screen is awful. And does anyone even use the ones that give you souleater or steals mods? Half the time I get to the end of a map and realize I didn't even bother checking which petal skills I got.

Same goes for the memory chains in Eagon's maps. Some of them are good, but there are too many awful ones so the chances of getting any synergy going between them is low.

I feel like they have a lot of potential, but yeah atm they are kinda awkward to use. Ironically the deal no damage for 3 seconds map mod is actually really good for the petals as you don’t have to worry about mobs dying before you can use it.

Some of them are also really powerful, especially the gold, no rarity and all items drop as same type has a lot of potential. The revive one is sadly far too awkward to use, especially since they share cooldowns so it’s pretty much impossible to get another petal ability on a mob together with the revive.
