The Gloom Shrine in Path of Exile is a powerful but controversial tool with unique effects:

Benefits:

• Chaos Damage Boost: Gain 10% of Non-Chaos Damage as extra Chaos Damage, significantly amplifying your chaos-based skills.
• Exploding Enemies: 40% chance for killed enemies to explode, dealing a quarter of their maximum Life as Chaos Damage, clearing large groups effectively.

Drawbacks:

• Reduced Loot Drops: Some players report noticeably fewer loot drops with Gloom Shrine active, potentially due to killing monsters before loot drops have a chance.
• Chaos Resistance Issues: If facing enemies with high Chaos Resistance, the explosion's damage and overall benefit might be diminished.
• Requires Strategic Use: To maximize benefits and minimize drawbacks, the Gloom Shrine needs to be used strategically in specific situations.

Here are some additional points to consider:

• The Gloom Shrine effect lasts for 5 seconds after activating it.
• You can find Gloom Shrines within maps through random encounters or by using specific sextants.
• The controversial nature of reduced loot drops has led to ongoing discussion among players and developers.

Ultimately, whether to use the Gloom Shrine depends on your build, playstyle, and encounter specifics. Weigh the pros and cons carefully and adapt your use based on your goals.
