I enjoy doing Expedition, Legion, Blight, Betrayal, and incidentally the 3 mechanics are on the Atlas device this league, so FFTB is gonna be a feast for me this league. However, Blight is located on the other side of the Atlas tree than the other mechanics.

I'm wondering if it's better to just focus on the right side of the tree like this:

Or spread out my tree for Blight, but betray Betrayal for travel nodes like this:

I know that, at the end of the day, the Atlas tree boils down to "do what you enjoy". I just want some input on the efficiency

They are 3 travel nodes from the start of the Atlas Passive Tree. The Fated Uniques and duplicated rare monster wheel that used to occupy that area are removed.

I just don't want people to get their hopes up again just because they missed these posts. The 3 leagues that are "getting a fresh coat of paint" in 3.19 will not include Ultimatum.

Someone give me a warning if I should avoid this sub again this league start. If some mediocre changes announced in the manifesto is enough to flood this subreddit with 100+ of the same exact posts saying the same things for the next whole week, then there's not really anything for me as a player to gain from reading this subreddit. Just wanna know beforehand in case no megathreads are made to keep this subreddit readable on week 1.

I tried Spectral Helix this league on a Raider and really enjoyed it, but I couldn't play a lot to see it through (currently lvl 87). For the next league, I plan on league starting with SH again and this time transition into TS after. That means I'll most likely have to go with Deadeye. I have the slightest clue about the right side tree so I am looking for recommendations for which YouTuber I should watch for build guides like this. I appreciate any help or advice you can throw my way because I may very well need it. Thanks.

Just began my journey, I've figured out the game's basics on my own i.e. building taming crafting, but only on the basics. With that knowledge, which content creators on YT/Twitch would folks here recommend me to watch and learn from? Thanks.

Don't be afraid to type out a whole essay.

In the trailer, the Sentinels were alluded to as being ancient technology that predates the Vaal. Has anyone gone through the list of unique Sentinels and figured out a headcanon? Would like to hear, thanks.

Even after she harvested their tongues, they were still able to scream.

A fiery horror from a distant plane of existence,
it feasts upon the charred corpses subsumed by lava pits.

Catarina: "Stop, I can bring them back. I bring Jun's entire order back, just give me-"

Jun: "Shut up."

A familiar voice from behind: "Jun!"

Jun turns around to see Zana.

Zana: "I need her alive. If what you say about the Cane of Kulemak is true, I need her alive."

Jun hesitates, and caves into Zana's request. Zana acquires Catarina's service to resurrect her father, Valdo Caeserius, the Shaper. In return, Catarina gets to live once more, and Jun will continue to pursue the Mastermind over and over again just like before.

The Shaper returns and becomes the main character for a new Atlas expansion once again. This time, Zana will no longer leave her father's side, and she will never c

When an Archnem altar spawns in a map, it is chained to 4 different rare monsters, each with their own "recipe" tag showing what drops they give. You choose one of them to be released and that recipe is saved into the sequence. The next altar you encounter will retain the 3 monsters you did not release with the same recipe tag they had, while the one you released will be replaced with a different monster with a new recipe tag. Since the recipes offered to you will be the same 4 everywhere until one is used, you don't have to scout the entire map and backtrack to get the best combo. The higher the tier of the recipe, the rarer it is to be spawned, but Atlas passives can fix that if you want t

Just a silly thought. What if we remove the limit of only 1 master per map, add Tane, Cassia, and the Expedition Crew (4 in 1, fixed rotation) to the list of Masters. Now, you pick your own 4 masters out of the existing 8 masters to accumulate missions for. The rest won't gain missions unless you change your roster on the Atlas tree. Maybe even make it so every map boss guarantees to provide one master mission. This provides a constant feeling of "here's your next quest" so you don't feel like "I ran out of missions, I guess I'm logging off" for people who don't outsource sextants/scarabs.

• Why remove the limit of 1 master? Whenever I run out of Jun missions, I don't bother running other m

Once again, Taliesin comes to the aid of those who couldn't grasp the recent Afterlives: Maldraxxus short.

..if you even bother understanding what Blizz was hinting on about Maldraxxus, and not because you have a raging hardon to jump on Blizz for lolz.

I stand by Uther's short as more concise, direct, and captivating, but that short failed what Draka's could - selling me on Maldraxxus, a covenant I waved off previously. It actually started off with really cool drums, but the soundtrack only fell flat near the end of Draka's speech. My only gripe is against people who wouldn't give Draka a chance for her story and dismisses her

I've been a fan of Monaghan's work in Gotham and Shameless, but I don't usually analyze an actor's performance unless their scenes felt off, especially when the characters he played - Ian Gallagher, Jerome/Jeremiah Valeska, just resonate so well with me. However, it's been bugging me recently about how others view Monaghan's acting in Shameless. Some like to say that Noel Fisher carried many of Gallavich scenes, yet I don't really adore Mickey like a lot of fans do. So, here are the few things brought up once in a while:

1. Cameron's accent. I'm insensitive to different regional American accents so I couldn't tell them apart, so can someone explain to me how different from other Gallaghers,

Didn't actually mean it in the title. :P

So, there has been quite a few discussions on Night Elves as a whole recently. So I feel the need to see how people generally see Tyrande Whisperwind.

Tyrande has been quite a controversial character in the Warcraft series (not as popularly discussed as Sylvanas and Garrosh), some loved her since WC3, while some loathed her since then and even more so in Legion. Many wanted her to lead the charge of Night Elves' return to their savage nocturnal roots, while some just wanted to see her die asap. I just wanna hear your honest personal opinions on her character, why you feel that way, and how you think she should have been written. Here's my take on he
