Right now, Vaal Temple is the map people keep whispering about in global chat, then speed-running in private. You go in expecting a rough triple boss and a couple decent drops, and you walk out with a bag full of "wait, what?" loot spikes. If you're trying to gear fast, it's hard to ignore how much momentum this map creates, especially once you've got a few PoE 2 Items lined up to actually survive the chaos.

The big draw is simple: density and upside. Three Atziri-flavoured bosses means three shots at boss loot, and the layout doesn't waste your time with long, empty corridors.

Sometimes it's a unique that suddenly matters because it rolled the right implicit or... less
