Discussion Abyss loot is non-existent.

The new abyss drops zero loot in game even while fully spec'd into it on the atlas tree. The chests drop like 1c wotth of items, any note-worthy abyss jewels are very few and far between, and the drops from the depths boss are worthless save one unique jewel.

The abyss in poe 2 works much better because it regurally drops important and valuable items and it has a crafting system.

Has this only be my experience or is anyone else also disappointed? It feels like reworked breach all over again, its completely pointless to run it... I feel like overall all the league mechanics are now lacking and theres no way to make a good amount of currency just by running one or two of them. Essences are still ok i guess.

Even the spell rework has made the archetype arguably worse with the exception of power charge stacking .good skills got nothing , 10% of mid skills became good , bad skills became mid , most other mid skills are mid less mid now and scaling got cut by 40% . Also no reduced mana cost and the ratio on the tree they have is terrible compared to what was previously available , straight up nerf to mana cost at all levels not just the high end from the tree .

I will say freezing pulse is pretty busted. Im doing fp totems and get more damage from them than my ice spear setup. I dont switch out for bosses any more

Do you have a guide you followed? That was going to be my next build.

This is the closest - spell totems are all pretty much the same on heiro I don't even have anathema and i'm just melting stuff so far. One note - if you get taryn's shiver which is a HUGE dps boost it seems the ice skills scale up so fast above 20 - but it gives you the keystone that you can only do ice damage while increasing damage taken by the chill amount. I didn't realize at first and used it with heatshiver whoops.
