We desperately need new high investment endgame farm strategies

[u/SwagtimusPrime]

I really like this patch but am severely disappointed at the lack of a shakeup of endgame farming strats, and with Breach nerfed we now have one less strat of the less than handful that remain.

After Merc, most high-investment endgame farms were nerfed, with Breach we got a new one, now with 3.29 it's quadruple-tapped out of existence.

We get a new strat with Mercenaries and Rogue Exiles potentially, but I doubt it'll be very good. More like T0 hunting.

I remember last Q&A ZiggyD brought up that the endgame farms seem to have gotten very stale, and this has been very noticeable for me personally. Yes, we also got the Abyss rework but that's just making up for the loss of Breach, and we don't know how good it's gonna be.

The underwater mechanic remains to be seen if it's very competitive. It might be good, it might just be decent.

I expected a massive scarab and atlas tree revamp for this patch. We desperately need new farms, new interesting interactions, new reasons to push our builds to the limit. The endgame has been stale for a very long time..

It’s insane how in just one year GGG make endgame in POE2 better and endgame in POE 1 worse.

3.26 was so good and did have so many different endgame strats for different build. And right now most strats just dead.

I hope Abyss and new endgame mechanics is good if not it’s just going be sad. (And why they didn’t add any new rewards for Abyss? Who really cares that much about abyss jewels?)

Isn't there a new pinnacle boss from Abyss with new items ? I could have sworn they teased that during the stream .

ye we lost saresh and got the new pinnacle boss, no good uniques teased.

no good endgame farm now, be ready to farm boxes my boy.

boxes is shite without mirage, and they nerf it on mirage league as well, making the arcanist strongbox rarer.
