Scarab can pair pretty well with Harvest, since the plant nodes always contain rares. But if you don't really like doing any of the "extra" type content in maps and want to JUST run the map, scarab pairs pretty well with strongboxes or essences. Strongboxes also give you additional "unique" enemies, which scarab boosts drops on by 200%. Essences are very consistent currency, but they are fucking retardedly juiced beyond Tier 6 in maps, due to scaling. If you run essence, I'd stick to Tier 6 and below. It still makes great currency though, especially since Tier 6 can be run with even a scuffed build.
I think I'm about to respec to Slayer and off Glad. Retal skills are cool and all, but holy fuck is it annoying/scary as shit at the late game to WANT to be hit and pray to god you get a block instead of a one-shot. It's just getting less and less fun the more I start to juice maps. Just not a fan of the strategy involved in the builds.

Perfect, thanks.
I'm on Gladiator, using Lacerate and Bladestorm so no retaliation skills.
Haven't died at all in maps and very rare to be in danger, I'm up to T12.
Snagged a 5% health on block early for the 1 divine that dropped and it's putting in some work.

You also have to carry your currency with you to buy them. Or you did a billion years ago before they added the new Acts and people actually used the library vendor.

Having fun with Slayer but it was a lil off coming from Champion until I got the overleech ascendancy.....I think once I get the fortify on hit chance eldritch implicit I may not even miss last season's Champion.
Still nowhere near the damage I had, but I definitely feel stronger week 2, though it could also be due to experience as well even though I have a million things still to learn.

I built up a healthy amount of scarab doing maven node destructive play with all the influenced map drops nodes and scarab chance. It's a bit rippy and I didn't get passed 92 until I had all my void stones but it wasn't a bad strat. You also save on your last 2 void stones cause you earn them yourself

While I will say melee is a lot better this league, it still suffers from defensive issues, at least from a scrub player perspective like myself.
Big hits aren't the issue, it's the death by a thousand cuts with which this game is infinitely plagued. Open up a strongbox and get plowed while you are in mid-air leap slamming away lol.
That being said, I am playing berzerker which is just asking for trouble, but I like to complain.

Yea its what I'm using on slayer fb. Eventually I think I'll buy glad node and get a nice shaper shield but this thing puts in work. Char sheet at 60/60 so that's essentially like 80 block or something. If I don't get one shot I don't die. With 8 endurance charges the only thing outside pinnacle that one shots me are phys mods. If i manage to get mage blood, glad node and 10 endurance I could break 300k ehp easy.

Someone had a ring that was listed since last week at 75c which IMO is overpriced. I offered them 40c, they invited me, i traded the 40c, he closed the trade and accused me of being a toxic scammer. I had edited the whole text of the offer to state something like 'hi im willing to offer you 40c for that ring instead' while leaving in the poetrade reference to where in his stash it is. I thought that was clear and it was a legit offer. Maybe I need to be even more clear and have something absurd like 'WARNING YOU HAVE THIS LISTED FOR 75c BUT IM ONLY WILLING TO OFFER 40c'.
What's the etiquette here?

hah, i made that kind of mistake as a new player years ago as well.
the correct way to negotiate is like this:
@Person Hi, I would like to buy your The Doctor listed for 11.8 divine in Settlers (stash tab "1"; position: left 9, top 4) will you take 10div?

No etiquette issue on your end, people mostly just don't read, they get the notification, see its for a trade and then invite without reading further.
The only thing I do differently, and only to avoid the waste of time and accusations, is I send a message first to the effect of "You have a ring listed for 75c, I'll offer 40 on it. Its this" and then I use the trade site message button to send the link after that

He said he left the listed amount didn't he? And then just appended his offer as such?
Removing the listed amount and writing your own would indeed be scum villainy

You're right, he didn't explicitly say that he did that, my mistake. Just a generic rewriting of the automated message. Which, I would say is still something you shouldn't do, but more in a grey area.
1 ping, block of text: automated message.
2 pings, block of text + short message: haggling.
