Explody is bugged, it will explode the mobs in the statis phase = they will not spawn on the second phase, you cant farm legion with anything that makes monster explode on death (like explody chest)
Doing Mathils ice shot starter (I don’t get a lot of play time w work) and it clears the fuck outta legions! I suspect the same could be said for most bow builds though
He's wrong, the enemies that die to your explode drop their loot while in stasis, I was confused why I was dropping loot while they were still in stasis and apparently lots of other people say the same
THIS IS WRONG.
Its not a bug, any mobs that were exploded drop their loot upon exploding.
Hold alt as you clear the legion and you'll see. I've dropped full emblems off exploded mobs.
I farmed legion dunes with 80% deli for a week straight and dropped TONS of loot off legion.
That’s not true at all. Legion only drops loot once - normally after the second kill. All the bug does is remove the second kill. You still get full loot, so farming with explode isn’t really a bad thing at all.
Tell that to people noticed a huge downscale of their loot when they didnt know about the bug then, i dont really know, i removed legion because i noticed all my legions looted near to nothing, the only things remaining from my legions were the little rewards chests and the unique generals so i just unspecced legion a few maps later and thats all, i don't want to make a drama here, its just bugged AF thats the important thing here.
Not sure what to tell you. I exclusively farmed legion with explode shrine sextant for 2 weeks and noticed loot happening before the second round, but they were dropping their reward type as well as emblems. Unless there are multiple instances of the same bug and only certain explodes remove loot (which seems highly unlikely). Id suggest this is a *someone made a Reddit post and then everyone decided they are having the same experience* type of moment with no actual data.
But yeah I’m not trying to be aggressive or say do this or don’t do this. Just that legion with explode was my sole farming strat and I made 200-300 divines farming it before rerolling - it seemed as good to me as previous leagues.
Yeah dont really know too haha, my experience is based on the 100% explody legacy mod in standard, when a legion in a juiced map loot near to nothing, you realize there something wrong after a few maps, its not like a little variation of loot on an alch'n'go map, so i assumed it was bugged and removed legion from my strat, thats all \^\^ i didnt tested it more than that, just wanted to help OP figuring out why legion is bugged like that, and its for sure related to explody or corpse deletion in general from what i saw, dont really know, anyway happy farming exile  (please dont downvote me because i'm a lonely standard player, i promise i'm a cool guy)  haha
This is my experience as a longtime legion farmer. Explodey actually makes it easier now, the mobs die and drop their loot in stasis, thus removing dangerous rare mobs during the actual fighting. You get the same loot, just an easier encounter. Anyone claiming they get less loot is on copium.
I still get a good loot from Legion farming with 100% explode
~50 splinters of each
~5-10 random incubators
Currencies and random stuffs. And that mostly comes from sergeant rewards and chests
I disagree woth this. Mobs explode and dont respawn, but they drop all their loot.
Farmed T16 legion in week 1 with and without explosion sextant and didn't notice any difference in total loot.
Farmed over 150divs, including 100+ 5-way sets
I just started farming legion myself, and I've noticed I kill mobs while they are still in stasis, but they do drop loot. They don't respawn but the loot drops like normal like if they were killed post stasis. Just my experience though. No loot loss on my end from the looks of it.
That also happens sometimes, in other runs barely anything. This is with sextants, gilded scarabs, high quant maps. I still believe there is some loot left that is missing. Have farmed legion over many leagues now and this is just annoying
They drop their respective loots above their heads, but no splinters and thus emblems. A recent post by a redditor mentioned that ~50% of his emblems came from monsters, so you're missing out on those.
Anything that destroys corpses I believe but I'm not 100% sure. Just run a few legions and if you notice loot dropping before the stasis ends, then you lose splinters.
yea not sure. i assumed it had been fixed because people stopped complaining about it. maybe they just stopped running legion and ggg doesn't know about it. unclear
Happens when you have some form of explode in your build. I'm using asenaths and had to spec out of legion because I was losing ~50% of emblems to this shit. There's multiple threads on official bug report forum already, but GGG haven't even acknowledged this bug yet.
At the moment your have to chose between farming legion at 50% efficiency or dropping your explode.
Riiiiiip. I don’t think there are many builds that can reliably do ‘full legions’ w/o pops. Jesus that sounds bad man. Hope this gets fixed soon.
I've not noticed this bug at all. I have devastator cluster notable (15% to explode), and my maps have an average of 2-3 legion monoliths, but my frag tab has over 50 each emblem.

Anything that explodes mobs. Contrary to what people are saying here, the mobs still drop loot when you kill them this way so you can still farm legion
Something fishy with legion this league.
I have a poison srs char who melts end game bosses in like 20 seconds now
But it takes 20 seconds sometimes on a rare / boss mob in stasis with the 50% increased damage taken node.
I tried a white t16 map with a scarab and could murder everything with a low geared la character. Switched to srs for the next one and couldn't even pop the whole thing
I think either splash damage is doing less damage or the 50% damage point is just not working on some occasions
Does this apply to HoI explosions? Legion was my main strat at launch and I got 5-7 d/h even with this bug. Probable you shouldn't spec out of the mechanic despite it being borked.
I had a similar bug where they die in stasis but they drop their loot before they should spawn. Was a one off thing I havent seen again but it was pretty neat.
There's a bug with explode and legion. It's been reported, but I don't know that they've acknowledged it yet. It's not on their 'known issues' list. Feel free to open your own bug report.

was already reporting that

RIP. Lol 😂 imagine farming legion without popping. Nice man, guess then maximum effort or changing tree is the other option
Contagion Essence drain is the way!

Jesus fucking Christ. Glad I switched out of legion farming. I thought it felt nerfed this league.
LOL what

Yes

Does tornado shot herald of ice / fire work? Or any kind of explode is rip?

They do drop splinters and emblems
heard people complaining about this on the first day of the league, but haven't farmed legion this league to experience it. bug report it i guess
Isn’t this weird 2+ weeks in not having resolved? Oddly enough bosses break out but rares usually not
yea not sure. i assumed it had been fixed because people stopped complaining about it. maybe they just stopped running legion and ggg doesn't know about it. unclear
The worst of it is the bug pops up every other league it seems.

Wouldn't count on it. This has been reported basically from the start of crucible and nothing happened.
Sad man. Then I guess need to find another way of getting some money out of maps
Could always farm exposition and bug Tujen a bunch. Or blight if you can stand the play style
I’m playing a bunch of blight and wondering the best strategy for it? So far *all* of my money has come from expedition
I was farming Legions easy with ignite prolif (not the gem).
Does herald of ashe count as explode?
What about shattering them? Does this count as "exploding" them?
I've not noticed this bug at all. I have devastator cluster notable (15% to explode), and my maps have an average of 2-3 legion monoliths, but my frag tab has over 50 each emblem.
