Hey guys, since I saw this new runeword I was really intrigued by it, but the more I think about it the harder I find to make full use of it. I don't really care about the best possible build I'm just brainstorming some ideas and all of them feel clunky or just not really able to take full advantage of all 3 curses, but maybe that isn't the point? When I say "full use" my criteria is the build having +2 curses and being able to make effective use of all 3 curses (Lower Res, Amp Dam, Life Tap) so we're talking dual elemental/phys or poison/phys attack builds, but this seems harder to pull off than I originally thought. Other than 'Gloom', Raekor's, and
Darkforce Spawn, are there any other additional sources of +curses coming in S14?

I have some pretty whacky ideas cooking like a Poison Strike/Zeal melee necro using 'Madness' in a Thresher, but the more I think about it the more expensive it gets and ultimately it wouldn't even be that good. I'm more than down for playing off-meta trash though.

I feel like a temporary Hardcore-only Gauntlet event would be really cool. Each difficulty could be scaled individually or like maybe it's as simple as steeper resistance penalties and increased monster damage. Then Bosses/sub bosses can spawn with extra auras and/or curses. Extra hidden challenges added throughout the campaign, like mis-clicking the Cairn stone order spawns nearby enemies :). Mephisto can summon burning souls. Lister the Tormentor is replaced by a champion pack of Moonlords instead and Lister protects Baal inside the chamber, you get the idea. Lots of little twists that players wouldn't suspect throughout the campaign.

Would something like this even be possible?
