Should I explore act six

DawsMan

I haven't explored any of act six, am wrapping up 8.2 exploration. After 8.2 I'm going to explore 7.3 and 7.4, after that however, I don't think exploring act 6 is even worth it. hercules will blas through it but there are so many paths for so few rewards.

No, content too long (too many paths), rewards not worth effort.

No

Only if you have ABSOLUTELY nothing left to do.

Act 6 was content I knew I had to get through to become Thronebreaker. Yes, some of the boss fights were very well designed and required planning and consideration before attempting them (as well as quite a few units to support because I'm a bit of a scrubby player).

But I can't say that I found a large chunk of my Act 6 completion 'fun' as a result. There are other things I'd rather do (EQ, SQ, bits of Incursions, BG and Arena) that attempting an explore of Act 6.

Reading a book is a better use of your time

Makes no sense at all to explore act 6 unless you're doing it purely for the challenge. I wish there was someway to make old content a bit more relevant which the carinas challenges do a little but not nearly enough

It would be fun to clear a quest with only four star cosmic champs. yeah I am not going to do the act unless theres nothing left to do.

I'm glad I came across this thread. I was about to start exploring Act 6 the other day but have since decided to explore 7.2 and onwards.

When I previewed all the paths in 6.1.1 it reminded me of the old Act 4 hahaha.

I had a lot of fun exploring Act 6 after I had already explored Act 7 (and 8.1 had yet to come out). I wouldn't recommend it before exploring Act 7 (and what we have of Act 8 so far), simply because that's more fun content with better rewards. There's absolutely no reason to explore Act 6 ahead of any of that content.

However, when you have more champions at a higher rank, a lot of the pain points of Act 6 go away and the more enjoyable aspects of the Act shines through. The general nerf a while back also helps, of course.
