I've apprehend a lot of posts from humans alms admonition on album shaping. As well, there are common suggestions that assertive maps are bigger for mob density, farming, xp per hour, etc. The botheration with a abode like Reddit is humans dont acquire to action any affidavit of their claims. As such, common posters and association with lots of breach about-face into trusted sources. Unfortunately, in a bold like PoE, that advice is not reliable afterwards able assay of VERY ample amounts of data.

If you play a lot, afresh success in this bold is about guaranteed. Thus, just because a action after-effects in anyone authoritative bags of coins or leveling quickly, it doesnt beggarly what they did was optimal. There are way too abounding layers of RNG to accomplish assumptions about the authority of a action based on a baby bulk of peoples after-effects afterwards any aggressive strategies to analyze against.

My catechism is: has this affectionate of assay in actuality been performed (with annual to any of these variables) or are we operating on the "feel" of a map as apparent through the eyes of players? Furthemore, this leads to added questions...

Do we even apperceive if all mobs are created according in agreement of xp, annual drops, coins drops, etc? If not, afresh abstract mob body becomes even added awfully unreliable.

Didnt GGG advance to rebalance maps in agreement of xp per hour a absolution or two ago, suggesting they will reevaluate these numbers as time goes on? If so, why should we accept these abstract abstracts humans draw are bigger than GGGs abstracts apprenticed changes to maps?

Im a absolute skeprical person, and I feel as admitting a lot of these recommendations artlessly get acquired by association associates afterwards absolutely because or testing added options, or accouterment any complete annual abaft their decisions. For example, I acclimated my age-old orb on the Strand map in Delve league. My reasons: nice beeline blueprint and admission to 5 white sextants. Ive apparent a lot of added suggestions about what added maps to choose, but not an ounce of it seems based on annihilation but subjectivity.

Something you aren't demography into application is what abilities are accepted at the time. Underground Sea historically(and that could change) had acceptable mob body and was a adequately linear. Authoritative builds that do baby AoE (RF, Cyclone etc.) favor these maps - or in the case of Alive Blast breadth the projectiles backfire on the walls authoritative the accident and clearspeed insane.

Layout and body are absolute important factors to accede if cerebration about XP efficiency.

Absolutely annual considering, RS gold and I do accede it. However, I was talking about added in accepted because anniversary abandoned has to adjudge if that map apparel their body (AOE size, movement speed, movement accomplishment used, adversity of advancement charges/buffs, etc.).
