Season of the Malignant Mechanics
The season’s narrative revolves around a new character named Cormond and his quest to fight against a new force known as “Malignants.”
Any Elite enemy has a chance to be Malignant, and when defeated it drops a Malignant Heart. You’ll use a new item called the Cage of Binding to pull the corruption from the Heart, which spawns a more powerful enemy. Upon defeat, the enemy drops a Caged Heart.
Caged Hearts are the core of the new season: these are essentially Legendary gems, but with even more powerful effects. There are five types of Caged Hearts, which can be socketed into colored sockets found on rings. They can also be scrapped for materials that are used to create an Invoker. Invokers are used at the end of a new type of Dungeon: Malignant Tunnels, in order to “target farm” certain colored Caged Hearts.
long story short is we’re getting new, socketed Legendary powers, essentially. There are 32 new Malignant Powers to play with, as well as new Legendary and Unique items which are also coming to the Eternal Realm.
It seems like they've learned nothing about power scaling. Every new season is just going to be some new mechanic adding a world tier worth of scaling.
Any bets on which season we'll see trillions in damage as average output? I'm not talking about uber lilith damage stacking either.
