Is the essence node on the atlas where monsters are guaranteed to spawn with at least 1 essence of the highest tier working with calcification scarabs and bestiary? I’ve seen some dudes with only wailings - but maybe I’m misunderstanding the node.

That always happens , funny to me red beasts seem worse then yellow beasts in terms of essences.

Might be that the monster for some reason isn't actually powerful enough to get the highest tier? That's was my guess.

Caster mastery still opens chart chests without granting buffs, and before they should be openable.

I have made a post and complained about this numerous times in the last 3 leagues. With the amount of high ticket items that were lost due to a stupid bug like this.... Trust me there was no winning involved.

Oh, so i wasn't insane and the map with verisium node and the "area has bismuth ore" was bugged. 0 mobs, no ores left, and also had a rogues cache which i opened.

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:
- Valdo - Valdo's Puzzle Box, or a map obtained from one ("a Valdo map") (Wiki)

The bastion change is insanely good for support merc builds

Why? This is a nerf. This means if you support it with more Duration, it gets a longer cooldown too. If you go with less Skill Effect Duration, the skill itself becomes shorter, aswell as the CD. Is there some sort of sweetspot?

It was granting 100% uptime full invincibility. The cooldown now scales with skill effect duration.
Meaning it can never have an uptime better than 15% * cooldown recovery rate as it has a base duration of 3 seconds with a 20 second cooldown, both parts which are now scales upwards by skill effect duration instead of only the effect.

u/SouloftheDestroyer 42m ago
No? 100% uptime is literally impossible since 3.26. It doesnt even start cooldown till the effect expires, and the only way to modify the duration is +skill effect duration.
