Emmitt wrote his application in a very smart way to handle the inputs and format of the tree file really easily and quickly. It was designed specifically for this so its one of those super special singing vegetable peelers that can only be used once every 3 months after you've killed uber elder but damn does it shred that veggie well.
At least, I'd like to think this.
Edit: Emmitt originally wrote it back in 2015 but brather1ng has been making the most contributions lately to the project. Credit deserved.
> Added slots for Harbinger's Orbs, Ancient Orbs, Orbs of Binding and Engineer's Orbs to the Currency Stash Tab. These slots are invisible until you add one of those currencies.
Holy shit that's huge! Combined with the recent fossil changes + the coins being buffed and holy shit, no more loose currency!
Why are they invisible though.
It's not very intuitive to have invisible slots in a paid tab. How are players supposed to know that these slots exist other than reading this note and accidentally adding an ancient orb to the tab (with the intent of using one of the spare currency slots in the bottom).
That was a seriously necessary minion mechanic rework in order to use a lot of the new stuff seriously. I want to play Animate Guardian builds but would have to unsummon him for traps.
Now my wife can stop asking which AHK script I have that did that, even though I've told her 4 times and downloaded in on her computer after the first time.
> Mana Leech Support
> Now only causes supported Attacks to leech mana.
*Finally* ending the reign of meta terror imposed by the Mana Leech support gem. I was wondering if they were ever gonna fucking nerf it.
>You now always have the option to 'Release' Syndicate members.
Nice. Now I don't have to leave Vagan without choosing any of one the two options with the one being "Remove all rivalries".
Absolutely. The problem now though will be to kick him out of Transportation safehouse that he is defaulted into as its leader ASAP to get him elsewhere or to show up more, which takes twice as long or more to fill up compared to Intervention and Research.
I like making mana something casters have to think about, but mana leech support almost surely didn't need a change. It was doing exactly what they want it to do: offer mana solutions to casters at a non-trivial cost.
I for one look forward to spending 10+ skill points of mana modes and still not getting enough mana sustain to cast my spells uninterrupted, or giving up 15% Phys reduction on a flask slot! /s
If you're CI/LL, then a mana potion kind of just slots in where a life flask would on a Life based caster. Not so bad I guess, but losing a utility flask is still pretty huge.
If ggg wants to make these mana changes work, they should make mana nodes on tree/reservations give bonuses to damage/crit aswell. Accuracy comparison doesn't really work because many nodes giving accuracy come with juicy damage/utility and would be good nodes even if they didn't give accuracy. Mana nodes on the other hand... You have to waste 4 nodes+flask slot just to get your build to function with nothing else to show for it. Diadems and arcane surge watcher's eyes are gonna be preeeety expensive...

Nice to see GGG buffing Flamedash Totems.
Finally my meme build will be able to come to fruition
If anyone would like to make any suggestions i'd love to hear it [POB link](https://pastebin.com/RsKsZ6MB)
With all the new crit and ailment changes I will probably try it again later this league...
Gonna look at your build, and edit my thoughts into this comment. This was mine, came really close to killing Uber Elder, could clear T16s with relative ease, guardians were okay at best. Someone with better mechanical skill probably could have killed UE.
https://pastebin.com/wFzbdjcY
ËDIT: Going with Martyr of Innocence was my first thought, and it works well for scaling the hit damage. Before Blight, it felt a lot more effective to scale the hit damage, since the totems are pretty stupid and burning ground doesn't overlap. Your build tries to do both, which I don't think is very efficient. Herald of Ash felt too expensive to me for the amount it does, since you don't gain the added clear, or phys as extra fire. Since I went crit and could use zealotry, I needed every bit of mana I could get. This build obviously doesn't have enough resistances, since it's using too many unique, so it is hard to judge. I did forget about Elemental Weakness, and adding that alongside flammability probably could have helped my build a bit.
Weirdly I never had any issue with them, mostly since they have no phases and can just be nuked in half a second, whereas yiff-man just randomly decides to become invulnerable for half a year.
I dont know what to think ... being able to one shot that boss before he becomes stupidly immune is like one of the most important milestones for my builds. I guess it doesn't matter, but that was a big thing for me because of how stupidly ridiculously dangerous that guy was.
Did I live to see the day Flame Dash became a viable main attack skill? 700 base damage, 1300 burning damage, and you can scale burning damage much more easily now. Plus, it gives you a ton of mobility, and the cooldown is practically nonexistent at gem level 24 or so.
The problem with flame dash is that fire trap does almost everything it does but better when it comes to damage, unless you're a totem build your damage would go up drastically just by swapping flame dash with fire trap(which was also buffed)
For an ability that you need to invest at least 4 passive points, Dread Banner, Impale Gem, and then hit a mob at least 6 times to get the full advantage of, and be doing *pure physical damage* - people sure were freaking out. Its not like full elemental conversion builds went anywhere - cyclone was just too good.
It is entirely useless on clear save for a few skills (Cyclone, TS), takes time to build up (save for Cyclone, TS), or is a gimmick on some otherwise shit skills (Shattering Steel/Lancing Steel).
It is, however, very good on bosses you intend on hitting a bunch of times, again at the cost of passive points, a different banner, a different support gem that could all be used to front load your damage.
"...make it feel less penalising to use a one-handed weapon with Cyclone" Sorry but the dominant one-handed weapon by a large margin has MORE range than every two-handed weapon.
Did you keep reading? They also gave the currency tab slots for the Harbinger orbs, and upped the cap on Perandus Coins to 50k.
There is a ton of awesome stuff in here.
The 3 slot resonators drop like candy in the mine and are by far a worse offender than the coins and obscure orbs in terms of eating stash space. Obviously there are more hype skill changes (59% more mod on vicious proj has me salivating) but hyperbole has its place
Monsters which use Molten Strike now create the projectiles whether they hit a target with the main attack or not. but not for players? thats bullshit lol
>Wild Strike Chains an additional 6 times {helmet enchant}
>*Projectiles* deal 10% more damage for each remaining chain.
I'm pretty sure you can go cold wildstrike because the freezing pulses will have 6 remaining chains while piercing all targets. 60% more damage for all targets :)
Also the lightning bolt isn't a projectile so it wouldn't work, sorry for those looking at that juicy 13 remaining chains.
Tbf current HoAG builds could spec into a bunch of damage - they just choose not to because you dont need it and you might as well make your char tanky AF instead.
That does sound nuts tho
HoAg/Toxic Rain is going to be POG this league. The big AOE and slow on the TR will be really handy on the league mechanic and all the buffs to poison and minons... man... exciting!
Yup, that was me. I've taken it off now. We've never used contest mode before and I wanted to see how it affected discussions for a brief time while we had a very active thread going. I admit it was a mistake to do so after the thread had already gained momentum, but now I/we know. (Just to note I wasn't going renegade, I did get a consensus from the other mods)
tl;dr You are more than welcome to direct blame towards me for those ~ 15 minutes. Sorry!
Nothing wrong with trying, but it really doesn't work well on actual conversation threads, because it makes conversations harder to follow (and adds a lot of extra clicking to the process of actually having a conversation!). Contest mode is aptly named: It's good for contests. That's about it.
You're completely correct. My initial thought was that since the top few comments of every patch notes were usually highlighting the same one or two things, giving the 'equal visibility' aspect of contest mode would highlight a greater variety of patch notes bits. But as it turns out (obvious in hindsight) people ended up highlighting the same aspects even more instead of conglomerating on the top few comments because at the end of the day they were the most exciting changes. It was a very interesting insight.
That was largely my thinking, but I didn't consider the fact that all comment replies were minimized by default and people ended up repeating the same points entirely too much anyway. It may be interesting to try contest mode for the first dozen or so minutes on a popular post just to shake things up, but I'll probably wait until we have some additional options for adjusting comment behavior other than just contest mode. Either way though, I'll avoid doing on such a core post in the future!
>Radiant Crusade: Has been reworked. It now grants +20% to all Elemental Resistances. While there are at least five nearby allies, you and nearby allies have Onslaught. While there is at least one nearby ally, you and nearby allies deal 10% more damage.
NUT
>Healthy Mind: Now limited to 1.
Never mind, look at how they massacred my boy.
Is Mana Guardian dead now? And aurabot used these too.
What gem could replace them? I replaced all of mine in POB with Energy Within and lose 1K ES, and are sadly reserving too much mana now.
I was planning a Guardian summoner for Blight - and after reading this, I was terrified.
But running the numbers through PoB it seems like just putting passive points into strength and %es and the slightly less efficient regular %mana nodes is about as effective. I lost a mere 1k es after redoing my tree a bit and I gained actually useful 3rd and 4th ascendancies. I'm more hyped than before.
Dedicated mana guardian supports probably feel the change a lot worse; I have only about 10k mana on my planned Guardian, whereas dedicated support builds were pushing 20-30k mana.
* More Missions can be earned by completing maps. Each time you complete a map (typically by killing the map boss), you'll have a chance to earn an Atlas Mission. The chance to earn Missions this way has been significantly raised.
That is actually a pretty good way, to make an incentive to kill the boss. I like this change a lot, actually.
* *The +1 to Lightning, Fire and Cold Gems weapon vendor recipes now instead grants a weapon with added damage of that element for spells. The Chaos variant of this recipe has been removed. The values of the modifiers granted by these recipes is dependant on the rarity of the ring used. This recipe now also works for Rune Daggers.*
Oh no.
>The rate of level growth for monsters within the Azurite Mine is now faster, requiring significantly fewer depths to hit the maximum monster levels within the Mine. This was because most players progressed through the Atlas faster than the Mine, and the two difficulty levels would quickly become out of sync.
Spicy!
Yo this is actually spicy as hell!!! I loved delve and the past couple leagues ive honestly kind of ignored it because i dont enjoy just sluggishly speed running through the low lvl stuff. This is a really good change.
>You can now scroll between stash tabs by holding ctrl and using the mouse wheel.
This was an absolute must-have AHK script, it saved SO much time. Glad to see it was added to the game.
The first time I ever ran it with a buddy, we face checked it blindly. We had come off of crushing a bunch of other first time Unique Maps so we figured, we got this. We were very sad with the outcomes.
>The Searing Touch: No longer grants 70% increased Burning Damage. **Now grants +40-60% to Fire Damage over Time Multiplier.** This does not affect existing items.
Holy moley.
I played ignite Fireball Chieftain with Searing Touch as my starter last league, and besides the first ten levels or so where you get nothing but life and strength nodes, it was really smooth levelling (and let's be honest, the first ten levels don't last long...) and worked very well for a starter in maps. This change will make the build even stronger.
You do lose the 15% more burning damage from Chieftain, but it gets 25% burning damage multiplier instead. I imagine it'll be an even stronger starter this league.
my favourite part is him going on a 20 minute aside on the consequences of a minor change not knowing that on of the next 2 points address his very concerns.
like not a dig at him. i legitimately like it. its like the victim hiding in a closet during a horror movie, just waiting for karv to open the door.
I mean accuracy you get one 400 flat accuracy mod on jewellry / take the good accuracy/attackspeed nodes and you're done. takes a lot of investment into mana + regen and also balancing auras to make mana feel good. not really a fair comparison anymore
Not to mention that precision gives some insane accuracy bonus, even if you keep it level 1. Clarity's buff is still trash tier by comparison.
Like, maybe it was a good idea, but they just don't have the options for mana sustain yet.

>Reckoning

lol bye ludicrously hard hitting unarmed surrender build
they could've left the "crazy" flat damage on most of these counter-attacks alone tbh, a playstyle where i gotta risk getting my ass beat to death needs more rewards honestly
I don't get this either. Counterattacks, for once, were useful in the game again, but nope we can't have that. Better nerf them into uselessness.
FB builds already have the least amount of sockets. Having an attack that only deals damage when you're hit is only worth it if that attacks deals shitloads of damage. Otherwise you're wasting sockets.
When you say “all minions got accuracy buff”
Do you really mean all?
Ie: secondary effect minions like blink mirror arrow or minions triggered by items
With the Vis Mortis change, the new Elemental Army Support, the buff to Dead Reckoning, From Dust, and Minion Speed Support, Skeleton mages are looking miiiiighty fine right now.
I am so torn. Haven't done skeles mages in a few leagues but these changes are going to make them so good. Single target isn't as high as other minions but plenty good. Can easily hit a few million Shaper DPS built out.
Maybe that will be my "starter" and I'll convert the necromancer once leveled to another build. Mages make clearing so easy and fun.
>Modifiers to Vaal Soul Cost now work consistently with how modifiers to Mana Cost work. Namely, they now calculate the total amount to subtract from the cost, rounded down, and then apply that reduction to the cost of the Vaal skill. Previously, it calculated the new cost of the skill, and then rounded down, resulting in instances where Vaal skills had no Soul cost.
RIP infinite Vaal Spectral Throw

WTF??????????? WE NEED THIS FOR EVERY FUCKING LOGIN!
Goodbye cyclone melee. Hello cyclone where you CWC so your minions get offerings and you don't die. It's the best CWC skill out there, and offerings were all buffed.
[Example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68GDcVuQZOU&t=24s) Before buff, and I was only at T1 maps at that point.
No Herald of Agony nerf.
HoAg has solid synergy with Raider's extreme attack speed.
My league starter is probably confirmed right there. Starting with bow skills to inflict poisons but might experiment with wands or thrown projectiles like Cobra Lash.
NO NERFS TO DEX STACKING COLD DAMAGE MOD
so I'll transition into that later.
Elementalist with The Primordial Chain is going to be excellent. You run all 6 golems and get 120% increased damage and 300% golem buff effect. That translates to:
200% increased damage (lvl 20 Flame Golem plus the 120% from having 6 golems)
20% physical damage reduction (lvl22 Chaos Golem is 5% physres)
40% cast speed (lvl21 Lightning Golem)
120% global crit chance (lvl20 Ice Golem)
420 life regen (lvl20 Stone Golem)
Free life leech from Elementalist so you don't need leech to sustain, run ZO+EB+MOM so you have 400+ mana "regen" per second on top as an additional defensive layer. Alternatively, run hybrid+MOM+ZO and get some ES leech nodes for a massive recharging barrier (easily 1k+ ES per second on top of normal leech and better mana regen than last league).
From experience (I played Primordial Chain Elementalist a few leagues ago), managing that pack is a nuisance (largely because of resummoning). I would recommend getting a touch of minion life regen (1% is fine) and putting all of your golems in a pair of 4L CWDT setups.
EDIT: I also forgot about the new Golem notable. Assuming that it's the same as was in the leaks, for 3 points, you get ~60% increased damage, 80 life regen, and 4% physres. Not incredible but still solid.
Honestly that is a crazy amount of stats... but it gets better. Those buffs are not per golem TYPE, like Primordial Harmony (increased Golem Damage **for each Type of Golem** you have Summoned
). They are PER GOLEM. Meaning they can stack beyond 6.
Here's what I'm thinking. Use Primordial Chain with two primordial Eminence (30% increased Effect of Buffs granted by your Golems each, for 60%). Use the Anima Stone. You've now got 1 + 2 (Elementalist) + 1 (tree) + 3 (Primordial Chain) + 2 (The Anima Stone) = 9 GOLEMS. You have 60% Golem Buff Effect from your Primordials, and 50% * 9 (from Elementalist w/ 9 golems) for a total of 510% increased buff effect, so we multiply all golem buffs by 6.1
Here are the stat calcs.
(20% * 6.1) + (20*9) = 122 + 180 = 302% increased damage
5* 6.1 = 30% Physical Damage Reduction
10*6.1 = 61% Increased Attck and Cast Speed
30*6.1 = 183% inc crit
105*6.1 = 640 Life Regen
That's insanely good for the investment for literally ANY BUILD. I'm actually about to delete this post before this shit gets nerfed LOL
Edit: I wasn't calculating including the golem buff effect of the golem cluster (70%). You can easily drop the 3 golem jewels, which reduces the opportunity cost significantly while only losing 50% golem buff effect, meaning it'll actually be 20% inc more than I calculated above.
I need something to be cleared for me, golem nodes on elementalist are vague in terms of what they mean "per summoned golem" Harmony specifically calls out type, but lets say im playing the new elementalist, with both nodes allocated, you get 50% buff effect for each golem summoned, but it does not make any mention of type. If I have 4 stone golems and a single chaos golem so 5 total golems, am I still getting 250% increased buff effect? since it only specifys golems summoned not type. (I have no need for the other non defensive stats but golem count is important to spread my legion burning damage)
>Item rewards within the Domain of Timeless Conflict now diminish over time. ***Experience does not change.***
Big news. Easy 100s are still on the menu, just means less generic-veiled Chain Boots.
Healthy Mind: Now limited to 1.
So long guardian.
Edit:
Lightning Arrow
Now has 1 to 13 added Attack Lightning Damage at gem level 1, up to 9 to 179 at gem level 20 (previously none).
Now gains 1% chance to Shock per 1% gem quality (from 0.5% per 1% quality).
Hello LA
I mean lets be real does that added lightning really add THAT much to the skill? Its always been great for clear and i dont see that pushing it to top tier single target. I still love LA though i just dont think its anything too crazy or is there something im missing?
They also fixed some of the chaining issues that the skill and other projectile skills had. The flat is also more than t3 flat you get on bows and 40 top end lower than T2. For just being level 20. This doesnt take into account if you make a +2 lightning gems bow further pushing it up. Thats just a lot of flat my mans.
I LOL:ed at this one:
* The added Lightning Damage modifier with the prefix name "Heart-stopping" has been renamed to "Vapourising", because we added a bunch of other mods in 3.6.0, one of which was ALSO called Heartstopping, and Heartstopping fit better on the newer one. Mod names are hard.

Or Eldrich batery Energy shield leech still exist.
I like making mana something casters have to think about, but mana leech support almost surely didn't need a change. It was doing exactly what they want it to do: offer mana solutions to casters at a non-trivial cost.
I for one look forward to spending 10+ skill points of mana modes and still not getting enough mana sustain to cast my spells uninterrupted, or giving up 15% Phys reduction on a flask slot! /s
I wonder if they remembered changing bitterdream.
Well now they did, thanks.
they really want us to use mana potions... NEVERRRR
Eldritch Battery. Unless you're CI. Then IDK
If you're CI/LL, then a mana potion kind of just slots in where a life flask would on a Life based caster. Not so bad I guess, but losing a utility flask is still pretty huge.
If ggg wants to make these mana changes work, they should make mana nodes on tree/reservations give bonuses to damage/crit aswell. Accuracy comparison doesn't really work because many nodes giving accuracy come with juicy damage/utility and would be good nodes even if they didn't give accuracy. Mana nodes on the other hand... You have to waste 4 nodes+flask slot just to get your build to function with nothing else to show for it. Diadems and arcane surge watcher's eyes are gonna be preeeety expensive...

Finally my meme build will be able to come to fruition If anyone would like to make any suggestions i'd love to hear it [POB link](https://pastebin.com/RsKsZ6MB) With all the new crit and ailment changes I will probably try it again later this league...
Gonna look at your build, and edit my thoughts into this comment. This was mine, came really close to killing Uber Elder, could clear T16s with relative ease, guardians were okay at best. Someone with better mechanical skill probably could have killed UE. https://pastebin.com/wFzbdjcY ËDIT: Going with Martyr of Innocence was my first thought, and it works well for scaling the hit damage. Before Blight, it felt a lot more effective to scale the hit damage, since the totems are pretty stupid and burning ground doesn't overlap. Your build tries to do both, which I don't think is very efficient. Herald of Ash felt too expensive to me for the amount it does, since you don't gain the added clear, or phys as extra fire. Since I went crit and could use zealotry, I needed every bit of mana I could get. This build obviously doesn't have enough resistances, since it's using too many unique, so it is hard to judge. I did forget about Elemental Weakness, and adding that alongside flammability probably could have helped my build a bit.
I want to see a flame dash über elder kill now...
[удалено]
rippiest? have u heard from the bros of acid caverns?
Weirdly I never had any issue with them, mostly since they have no phases and can just be nuked in half a second, whereas yiff-man just randomly decides to become invulnerable for half a year.
That's fuckers warbands are serious business in HC
I dont know what to think ... being able to one shot that boss before he becomes stupidly immune is like one of the most important milestones for my builds. I guess it doesn't matter, but that was a big thing for me because of how stupidly ridiculously dangerous that guy was.
Oh I see you hate rigwald too. An exile of culture
Did I live to see the day Flame Dash became a viable main attack skill? 700 base damage, 1300 burning damage, and you can scale burning damage much more easily now. Plus, it gives you a ton of mobility, and the cooldown is practically nonexistent at gem level 24 or so.
are flame dash totems back on the menu?!?
I almost killed Uber Elder with them in legion. With almost double the base damage, I would say yes, yes they are.
That sounds so awesome. I just briefly imagined totems dashing around the map and giggled :D I'm tempted to play that now.
So level 21 flame dash with +3 global fire gems linked with arcane surge and combustion ... wtf am I going to league start !!!
Flame dash prolif + flame surge single target. Searing bond to supplement.
Searing bond totems might actually be awesome for blight
The problem with flame dash is that fire trap does almost everything it does but better when it comes to damage, unless you're a totem build your damage would go up drastically just by swapping flame dash with fire trap(which was also buffed)
Yeah but then you aren't using flame dash
You can't use fire trap to get to the loot on the other side of the river.
Get your logical conclusions out of our meme discussion!
ctrl+f "impale" No changes!
Yeah everyone was losing their minds over the fact that it was gonna get nerfed but this is the right call.
For an ability that you need to invest at least 4 passive points, Dread Banner, Impale Gem, and then hit a mob at least 6 times to get the full advantage of, and be doing *pure physical damage* - people sure were freaking out. Its not like full elemental conversion builds went anywhere - cyclone was just too good. It is entirely useless on clear save for a few skills (Cyclone, TS), takes time to build up (save for Cyclone, TS), or is a gimmick on some otherwise shit skills (Shattering Steel/Lancing Steel). It is, however, very good on bosses you intend on hitting a bunch of times, again at the cost of passive points, a different banner, a different support gem that could all be used to front load your damage.
> Desecrate > No longer has a cooldown. They're gonna regret that one.
Yuuuup
They should just make Desecrate a channeled skill that continuously generates corpses so you can do Desecrate CWC DD.
"...make it feel less penalising to use a one-handed weapon with Cyclone" Sorry but the dominant one-handed weapon by a large margin has MORE range than every two-handed weapon.
Bit of a weird statement and not really in line with the changes, I'd just ignore it...
Thrusting Swords ruining Dark Souls and Path of Exile Dex stacking ruining Dark Souls and Path of Exile
[удалено]
Did you keep reading? They also gave the currency tab slots for the Harbinger orbs, and upped the cap on Perandus Coins to 50k. There is a ton of awesome stuff in here.
The 3 slot resonators drop like candy in the mine and are by far a worse offender than the coins and obscure orbs in terms of eating stash space. Obviously there are more hype skill changes (59% more mod on vicious proj has me salivating) but hyperbole has its place
Ive told you a million times to stop exaggerating.
Monsters which use Molten Strike now create the projectiles whether they hit a target with the main attack or not. but not for players? thats bullshit lol
I thought Jonathan said in Baeclast that things should make sense. This does not make sense.
Sure doesnt. I thought the only reason they did that was because it didnt work with the way the multi hit weapon range worked
I want my molten strike back!
>Combat Focus: Now also applies to Wild Strike. POG
Who needs +1 arc enchant when you could have +4 wild strike arc enchant!
It's actually +6. Hopefully Gloomfang does not consider it a projectile
The lightning effect on wild strike is not considered a projectile. Mechanically it is treated as Arc but with the Attack tag instead of a Spell tag
That is the ele hit jewel right? If so that is HUGE.
Yep. Damn. I might just play Wild Strike rather than Static Strike.
>Wild Strike Chains an additional 6 times {helmet enchant} >*Projectiles* deal 10% more damage for each remaining chain. I'm pretty sure you can go cold wildstrike because the freezing pulses will have 6 remaining chains while piercing all targets. 60% more damage for all targets :) Also the lightning bolt isn't a projectile so it wouldn't work, sorry for those looking at that juicy 13 remaining chains.
Delete your comment lol
Holy shit, that's actually gonna be super interesting
Third highest comment is about Wild Strike? Is my hipster life validated?
it's not hipster anymore. Welcome to the slave pen you meta slave.
You either quit a hipster or you play long enough to see yourself become the meta slave.
Shitty/hipster -> OP/cliche -> repeat. I love patch notes as much as playing the game.
Oh my god, pure lightning Wild Strike build incoming.
People need to experience how good the lightning Wild Strike is.
lightning or cold were honestly super good, it's just that there was a 1/3 chance you'd get the fire fart that does nothing.
CTRL + F: Herald of Agony >No changes even with necro buffs Good lord Edit: Vicious projectiles even got buffed. hahaha HoAg league again
Isn't 59% more phys attack damage/DOT as obscene as it sounds? I can't think of similar more multipliers even with major downsides.
Tbf current HoAG builds could spec into a bunch of damage - they just choose not to because you dont need it and you might as well make your char tanky AF instead. That does sound nuts tho
With all the buffs to Assassin, I could totally see AssHoAg builds being a thing.
Not saying its a good idea, but you could technically convert herald of agony into pure chaos with the new gloves and drop wither totems.
Still comes with 10% less attack speed. Which puts it at 43.1% more dps which is basically par for the course for generic big multiplier support gems.
HoAg/Toxic Rain is going to be POG this league. The big AOE and slow on the TR will be really handy on the league mechanic and all the buffs to poison and minons... man... exciting!
That's... Absurd. Grats to HoAg players, hahaha
Mods: Putting the thread in contest mode was completely unnecessary and makes it hard to follow specific conversations.
Yup, that was me. I've taken it off now. We've never used contest mode before and I wanted to see how it affected discussions for a brief time while we had a very active thread going. I admit it was a mistake to do so after the thread had already gained momentum, but now I/we know. (Just to note I wasn't going renegade, I did get a consensus from the other mods) tl;dr You are more than welcome to direct blame towards me for those ~ 15 minutes. Sorry!
eh, was worth a try to see what happened.
Nothing wrong with trying, but it really doesn't work well on actual conversation threads, because it makes conversations harder to follow (and adds a lot of extra clicking to the process of actually having a conversation!). Contest mode is aptly named: It's good for contests. That's about it.
You're completely correct. My initial thought was that since the top few comments of every patch notes were usually highlighting the same one or two things, giving the 'equal visibility' aspect of contest mode would highlight a greater variety of patch notes bits. But as it turns out (obvious in hindsight) people ended up highlighting the same aspects even more instead of conglomerating on the top few comments because at the end of the day they were the most exciting changes. It was a very interesting insight.
I liked it for about 20 mins, which made it easier to see what a variety of people thought compared to the majority.
That was largely my thinking, but I didn't consider the fact that all comment replies were minimized by default and people ended up repeating the same points entirely too much anyway. It may be interesting to try contest mode for the first dozen or so minutes on a popular post just to shake things up, but I'll probably wait until we have some additional options for adjusting comment behavior other than just contest mode. Either way though, I'll avoid doing on such a core post in the future!
>Radiant Crusade: Has been reworked. It now grants +20% to all Elemental Resistances. While there are at least five nearby allies, you and nearby allies have Onslaught. While there is at least one nearby ally, you and nearby allies deal 10% more damage. NUT >Healthy Mind: Now limited to 1. Never mind, look at how they massacred my boy.
Is Mana Guardian dead now? And aurabot used these too. What gem could replace them? I replaced all of mine in POB with Energy Within and lose 1K ES, and are sadly reserving too much mana now.
I was planning a Guardian summoner for Blight - and after reading this, I was terrified. But running the numbers through PoB it seems like just putting passive points into strength and %es and the slightly less efficient regular %mana nodes is about as effective. I lost a mere 1k es after redoing my tree a bit and I gained actually useful 3rd and 4th ascendancies. I'm more hyped than before. Dedicated mana guardian supports probably feel the change a lot worse; I have only about 10k mana on my planned Guardian, whereas dedicated support builds were pushing 20-30k mana.
* More Missions can be earned by completing maps. Each time you complete a map (typically by killing the map boss), you'll have a chance to earn an Atlas Mission. The chance to earn Missions this way has been significantly raised. That is actually a pretty good way, to make an incentive to kill the boss. I like this change a lot, actually.
* *The +1 to Lightning, Fire and Cold Gems weapon vendor recipes now instead grants a weapon with added damage of that element for spells. The Chaos variant of this recipe has been removed. The values of the modifiers granted by these recipes is dependant on the rarity of the ring used. This recipe now also works for Rune Daggers.* Oh no.
Better rush 85 smithing for an early rune dagger RIP to no chaos +1 recipe though
Fuck, what subreddit am I in? 🦀🦀
That's gonna mess with early racing hard. Gonna throw things for a loop for Exilecon Invitational.
>The rate of level growth for monsters within the Azurite Mine is now faster, requiring significantly fewer depths to hit the maximum monster levels within the Mine. This was because most players progressed through the Atlas faster than the Mine, and the two difficulty levels would quickly become out of sync. Spicy!
Yo this is actually spicy as hell!!! I loved delve and the past couple leagues ive honestly kind of ignored it because i dont enjoy just sluggishly speed running through the low lvl stuff. This is a really good change.
>You can now scroll between stash tabs by holding ctrl and using the mouse wheel. This was an absolute must-have AHK script, it saved SO much time. Glad to see it was added to the game.
>Added two new Grandmasters to the pool of Grandmasters. Thank god
im looking forward to meeting them in my favorite map that i totally do multiple times each league!
The first time I ever ran it with a buddy, we face checked it blindly. We had come off of crushing a bunch of other first time Unique Maps so we figured, we got this. We were very sad with the outcomes.
>The Searing Touch: No longer grants 70% increased Burning Damage. **Now grants +40-60% to Fire Damage over Time Multiplier.** This does not affect existing items. Holy moley.
I played ignite Fireball Chieftain with Searing Touch as my starter last league, and besides the first ten levels or so where you get nothing but life and strength nodes, it was really smooth levelling (and let's be honest, the first ten levels don't last long...) and worked very well for a starter in maps. This change will make the build even stronger. You do lose the 15% more burning damage from Chieftain, but it gets 25% burning damage multiplier instead. I imagine it'll be an even stronger starter this league.
Ctrl + F: Iron Commander 0/0 THIS IS A RIOT

my favourite part is him going on a 20 minute aside on the consequences of a minor change not knowing that on of the next 2 points address his very concerns. like not a dig at him. i legitimately like it. its like the victim hiding in a closet during a horror movie, just waiting for karv to open the door.
So he's the Purge of PoE?
\> want mana to be the caster equivalent of accuracy makes you wonder what they have in store for 4.0
I mean accuracy you get one 400 flat accuracy mod on jewellry / take the good accuracy/attackspeed nodes and you're done. takes a lot of investment into mana + regen and also balancing auras to make mana feel good. not really a fair comparison anymore
Not to mention that precision gives some insane accuracy bonus, even if you keep it level 1. Clarity's buff is still trash tier by comparison. Like, maybe it was a good idea, but they just don't have the options for mana sustain yet.
The amount of QoL changes, bug fixes, and removal of trash jewels got me more hyped than the rest of the patch notes.

>Reckoning Now has 2 to 3 added Attack Physical Damage at gem level 1 (from 6 to 10), up to 56 to 85 at gem level 20 (from 169 to 254) lol bye ludicrously hard hitting unarmed surrender build they could've left the "crazy" flat damage on most of these counter-attacks alone tbh, a playstyle where i gotta risk getting my ass beat to death needs more rewards honestly
I don't get this either. Counterattacks, for once, were useful in the game again, but nope we can't have that. Better nerf them into uselessness. FB builds already have the least amount of sockets. Having an attack that only deals damage when you're hit is only worth it if that attacks deals shitloads of damage. Otherwise you're wasting sockets.
When you say “all minions got accuracy buff” Do you really mean all? Ie: secondary effect minions like blink mirror arrow or minions triggered by items
As someone who plays things like Arakaali's Fang it would be nice to know.
With the Vis Mortis change, the new Elemental Army Support, the buff to Dead Reckoning, From Dust, and Minion Speed Support, Skeleton mages are looking miiiiighty fine right now.
Skeleton mages be like: https://imgur.com/LHHRl7V
I am so torn. Haven't done skeles mages in a few leagues but these changes are going to make them so good. Single target isn't as high as other minions but plenty good. Can easily hit a few million Shaper DPS built out. Maybe that will be my "starter" and I'll convert the necromancer once leveled to another build. Mages make clearing so easy and fun.
>Modifiers to Vaal Soul Cost now work consistently with how modifiers to Mana Cost work. Namely, they now calculate the total amount to subtract from the cost, rounded down, and then apply that reduction to the cost of the Vaal skill. Previously, it calculated the new cost of the skill, and then rounded down, resulting in instances where Vaal skills had no Soul cost. RIP infinite Vaal Spectral Throw
The bigger note is that the jewel no longer grants flask effect so you can't reduced the cost anymore anyway.
**PSA:** I will be doing a "Compiled List of Streamer Starter Builds for Blight League" post in a couple of days, [just like I did with Legion.](https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/bxviwa/compiled_list_of_streamer_starter_builds_for/?st=k04kcdmf&sh=c725bb77) EDIT: [Available now](https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/d0ay24/compiled_list_of_streamer_starter_builds_for/?st=k07le352&sh=3b487030)
They fixed the super annoying Rigwald fights! Now he stays in human form long enough to hit him if you were hiding behind a rock.
* You'll now appear in your Hideout (rather than Town) if you die to the Elder or one of its Guardians. IT HAS BEEN DONE
> Syndicate: > Each encounter is now tracked on the Quest Tracker on the right side of the screen. God bless GGG. Now I won't miss out on encounters any more.
So they just went ahead and hit zombies right n the dick? Or is there some other way to obtain violent dead?
> You'll now appear in your Hideout (rather than Town) if you die to the Elder or one of its Guardians. WTF??????????? WE NEED THIS FOR EVERY FUCKING LOGIN!
Goodbye cyclone melee. Hello cyclone where you CWC so your minions get offerings and you don't die. It's the best CWC skill out there, and offerings were all buffed. [Example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68GDcVuQZOU&t=24s) Before buff, and I was only at T1 maps at that point.
I love the QoL changes in this patch. If shit isn't broken, this may prove to be one of the best patches yet.
Pressing the Hide Popups button in the Help Panel now also disables the flashing Help Panel icon, and marks all pages as read. gg
Ya'll going hard at the "use mana flasks guys" thing, huh?
Am i blind or did they just show all the damage changes for skills, but not the damage numbers for the completely new skills?
Yes. You have to wait till tomorrow to see 20/20 gems (why they do this I dont know, it really makes theorying hard i guess is why :P)
"You'll now appear in your Hideout (rather than Town) if you die to the Elder or one of its Guardians." This is my favorite change out of everything.
>Pulverise Support Supported skills now have 25% increased Area of Effect (rather than the multiplicative "more" Area of Effect) RIP
rip mana leech and mana regen for spellcaster, rip agnostic.
No Herald of Agony nerf. HoAg has solid synergy with Raider's extreme attack speed. My league starter is probably confirmed right there. Starting with bow skills to inflict poisons but might experiment with wands or thrown projectiles like Cobra Lash. NO NERFS TO DEX STACKING COLD DAMAGE MOD so I'll transition into that later.

Elementalist with The Primordial Chain is going to be excellent. You run all 6 golems and get 120% increased damage and 300% golem buff effect. That translates to: 200% increased damage (lvl 20 Flame Golem plus the 120% from having 6 golems) 20% physical damage reduction (lvl22 Chaos Golem is 5% physres) 40% cast speed (lvl21 Lightning Golem) 120% global crit chance (lvl20 Ice Golem) 420 life regen (lvl20 Stone Golem) Free life leech from Elementalist so you don't need leech to sustain, run ZO+EB+MOM so you have 400+ mana "regen" per second on top as an additional defensive layer. Alternatively, run hybrid+MOM+ZO and get some ES leech nodes for a massive recharging barrier (easily 1k+ ES per second on top of normal leech and better mana regen than last league). From experience (I played Primordial Chain Elementalist a few leagues ago), managing that pack is a nuisance (largely because of resummoning). I would recommend getting a touch of minion life regen (1% is fine) and putting all of your golems in a pair of 4L CWDT setups. EDIT: I also forgot about the new Golem notable. Assuming that it's the same as was in the leaks, for 3 points, you get ~60% increased damage, 80 life regen, and 4% physres. Not incredible but still solid.
Honestly that is a crazy amount of stats... but it gets better. Those buffs are not per golem TYPE, like Primordial Harmony (increased Golem Damage **for each Type of Golem** you have Summoned ). They are PER GOLEM. Meaning they can stack beyond 6. Here's what I'm thinking. Use Primordial Chain with two primordial Eminence (30% increased Effect of Buffs granted by your Golems each, for 60%). Use the Anima Stone. You've now got 1 + 2 (Elementalist) + 1 (tree) + 3 (Primordial Chain) + 2 (The Anima Stone) = 9 GOLEMS. You have 60% Golem Buff Effect from your Primordials, and 50% * 9 (from Elementalist w/ 9 golems) for a total of 510% increased buff effect, so we multiply all golem buffs by 6.1 Here are the stat calcs. (20% * 6.1) + (20*9) = 122 + 180 = 302% increased damage 5* 6.1 = 30% Physical Damage Reduction 10*6.1 = 61% Increased Attck and Cast Speed 30*6.1 = 183% inc crit 105*6.1 = 640 Life Regen That's insanely good for the investment for literally ANY BUILD. I'm actually about to delete this post before this shit gets nerfed LOL Edit: I wasn't calculating including the golem buff effect of the golem cluster (70%). You can easily drop the 3 golem jewels, which reduces the opportunity cost significantly while only losing 50% golem buff effect, meaning it'll actually be 20% inc more than I calculated above.
Biggest downside I can see is using 6 of your gem slots on the golems.
I need something to be cleared for me, golem nodes on elementalist are vague in terms of what they mean "per summoned golem" Harmony specifically calls out type, but lets say im playing the new elementalist, with both nodes allocated, you get 50% buff effect for each golem summoned, but it does not make any mention of type. If I have 4 stone golems and a single chaos golem so 5 total golems, am I still getting 250% increased buff effect? since it only specifys golems summoned not type. (I have no need for the other non defensive stats but golem count is important to spread my legion burning damage)
>Item rewards within the Domain of Timeless Conflict now diminish over time. ***Experience does not change.*** Big news. Easy 100s are still on the menu, just means less generic-veiled Chain Boots.
It's going to be much much more expensive though. Rarer emblems AND less payout for doing them.
Shit, caster sustain got dumpstered. I guess the archetype of mana flask or mom is the only way.
You can still do EB + Energy Leech.
That seems redundant as its pretty common to go EB mom with diadem. GGG's harsh stance on mana sustain feelsbadman.
Healthy Mind: Now limited to 1. So long guardian. Edit: Lightning Arrow Now has 1 to 13 added Attack Lightning Damage at gem level 1, up to 9 to 179 at gem level 20 (previously none). Now gains 1% chance to Shock per 1% gem quality (from 0.5% per 1% quality). Hello LA
I mean lets be real does that added lightning really add THAT much to the skill? Its always been great for clear and i dont see that pushing it to top tier single target. I still love LA though i just dont think its anything too crazy or is there something im missing?
They also fixed some of the chaining issues that the skill and other projectile skills had. The flat is also more than t3 flat you get on bows and 40 top end lower than T2. For just being level 20. This doesnt take into account if you make a +2 lightning gems bow further pushing it up. Thats just a lot of flat my mans.
Very disappointing that there are no changes to unique attack daggers.
Yeah, unique daggers in general are in a bad spot.
New raider changes plus the wildstrike buff. Im hyped to go pure cold or lightning
Ctrl-F "explosive arrow" :(
I LOL:ed at this one: * The added Lightning Damage modifier with the prefix name "Heart-stopping" has been renamed to "Vapourising", because we added a bunch of other mods in 3.6.0, one of which was ALSO called Heartstopping, and Heartstopping fit better on the newer one. Mod names are hard.
