Gutting quant is less meta more power creep. Just like T17. "Hooray".

Can't wait for more soulslike towering enemies and mounts. What a slop.

The way that the Quantity and Rarity of items dropped from extra content has been changed.

Generally we have added item Quantity or Rarity bonuses

would be funny if they repeated the same mistake with LoK league and caused nuclear meltdown in the fanbase
minimum wage league lmao

 

[tritosine2k]

Some power-creep league also bc. simulacrum change I doubt MF can do that.

Kinda considering doing corrupted bleed wand gladiator again, the clear speed was very fun.

Concerning the warden, barkskin seems pretty bad, tincture nodes feel like they'll probably be bad in ssf. The elemental stuff seems quite strong and fun though. Guaranteed frost, stackable shocks, super saiyan mode. Bit ascendancies with no good defensive options often feel bad. I have been considering some kind of elemental claw build for a while, so might be time to commit.

I haven't played this in years, does this update mean that trading is now automated, or just for currency? I might try it again if trading can be less of a hassle.

It's also amusing to watch them dunk on Blizzard for nearly a decade. D4 added a new nigger and some jungle area for 40 bucks, these guys add whole new layers to the game for free. Top notch work.

The new league sounds super-weird but I usually stick to standard anyway so it is not that important. I do hope the trade system does make it to standard eventually, though. Indirect trading would be much more comfortable than always having to find someone online.

The changes to melee are very interesting and I am itching to test them out. Having real Vaal Pact again is awesome and my very fun Flicker Strike build could profit from it at lot. I will have to dive into the patch notes for more details.

GGG forgot about this combo

It is only currency but still it is HUGE QoL improvement. You do not really need to sell gear to get rich which is still irritating with current system (between losing time pricing shit and needing to go back to sell it to others) but buying gear is usually not that bad experience unless you are trying to buy cheap shit that others also do not want to stop mapping or whatever to sell it to you.
So now you can just farm maps and other content for any kind of currency, turn it all into chaos and divines fairly easily and then go buy the item you wanted.

So new players can do this without premium stash?

I assume it functions like elemental hit and counts the types of ailments on the enemy, not the true count.

 

[Gerrard]

The trading thing is a great example of how much GGG actually cares about the player opinions and the experience with the game, it wasn't until Mark himself had to message 100 people and get 0 trades that it became a problem.

I think it is not that. Did you notice that Chris is less involved now than before? He is not even doing interviews for PoE1 anymore.
I think he was the one blocking stuff like this over the years and something happened now and he is no longer doing it. Maybe they made a deal that he is going to get Ruthless mode and PoE1 and PoE2 will be allowed to be made better.

It still took them 10 years to play their own game.

It is weird though, because wasn't Mark the lead for PoE2 while Chris was still on PoE1?

What's that? An additional skill wheel?

• Raider replaced with Warden.

anything that would make ssf melee necromancer a thing?

Dominating blow is a thing that exists. I don't think the melee buff really helps it, but I don't think it was notably bad last league either. I ran it ssf with guardian (admittedly two years ago, so who knows how it is now) and had good success. It can feel a bit janky against some bosses since it takes a couple seconds of attacking to spawn all the minions, and their duration is mediocre. But it's very fun in maps sine you get to steal auras (if they didnt remove that).

oooh... was thinking about something else but i havent done dominating blow yet...

 

[Reinhardt]

so cleave duelist is back?

 

[ArchAngel]

Cleave was buffed even before, now it does even more damage. If it is actually good choice compared with other 20 melee skills I have no clue.

or blink/mirror archery thing?

Farm holy relic of conviction and lancing steel of spraying in lab there you go your "melee" minion build, oh and for this league ignore any build guide without endurance charges.
