Earthquake aftershock damage has been nerfed ( reduced by XX %) Poison no longer double-dips projectiles no longer colide with player created something (looks like Frostwall nerf) Each additional projectile deals 20%-35% reduced damage (global nerft to Reach ?) Some uniques have been rebalanced (like Vis Mortis, Widowmaker, Frostbreath, Terminus Est) Introduced new challenges with reward mtxes Essence league Map system has been improved, Atlas of Worlds has been introduced to the game. Fixed client crash related to Infected Beast quest something about improvements to particle effects, which double frame rates Cast on Critical strike proc chance has been reduced, skills supported by this gem deal 20-30% reduced damage. Zana gives first Atlas of Worlds "Mercy Mission" was changed so that you can rescue Navali O-o RIP LA/FW if this is true ;_; | ||

I ditched my Arc idea, I tested it and disliked the single target even when going crit. Perhaps my items weren't good enough yet, however I don't wanna suffer for too long. I decided I probably will go for Chieftain (first time) with Firestorm and Righteous Fire at some point (meaning: the first 12-ish or so levels will be hell; caster mara yay). However... considering Sweep is likely getting buffed, and I love that skill, perhaps I change my mind depending on the patchnotes. | ||

Afaik NZ time is about 12 hours (or exactly that) later than CEST, so it's Wednesday already. edit: Not quite, however it's still Wednesday. ^^ 5:40 am there right now. | ||

RIP LA/FW if this is true ;_; The words 'longer', 'dip' don't show up in the notes Chris posted at all. Bit scared tho, what do I do with my life if I can't poison or frostwall shit. | ||

Not very likely... it gets mentioned in the patch notes and well, it definitely won't get nerfed. Puncture Trap and Blast Rain / Frenzy work just fine for bow chars, just that you need a little better gear to be OP. | ||

If you get good weapons then you're going to be OP. The OP curve certainly depends on the skill, but I'd expect pretty minor differences. | ||

Specifically, if a movement skill is BLOCKED by pathing (wb, cyclone) then it should FOLLOW pathing. Leap slam etc don't follow pathing so they don't need the change. | ||

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1716228 Cast on X got ANNIHILATED. 500ms cooldown for Cocs. It's dead. No reason to use it over selfcasting. The joy of spewing a zillion fireball/arctic breath projectiles is no more. Can't KB/LA off frost walls anymore. Poison got a minor nerf - 20% off. Elementalist Elemental Conflux nerfed/changed. I honestly don't mind the change even though it's definitely a huge nerf in clear speed. I guess I will try the Ice Spear Hrimburn build I had in mind. Reductions to Pierce and Less Duration damage boni are along what I thought appropriate. (But slower projectiles untouched?) e: Blade vortex "nerfed" against bosses with 60% less max blades but 60% more damage per blade - means normal clearing is buffed? | ||

Why the heck would you even spend two links and have to rely on targeting an enemy AND dealing with accuracy to merely get a cast speed of 0.5s and a more damage multiplier that you can get easily with many different single support gems now? (Although I suppose if the new "trigger in order" thing works the way I interpret it to, you could slot 2 different elemental spells to get reliable EE? Still would rather self-cast though...) | ||
