Path of Exile: Incursion (Content Update 3.3.0) Patch Notes

God.

Fucking.

Damn it.

Dyadus nerfed into irrelevance. Ignite still unplayable. Fuck the ignite teasers for giving me hope, I'm definitely playing a raider to start the league. Seriously, you have no idea how uncool that is. Buff ignite again to be 100% of base damage per second and ignite will be playable. As it is, it's another. Fucking. Noob. Trap.

I don't think these notes are complete. No zana mods mentioned. Maybe we won't get any like a couple or 3 leagues ago? Why no item nerfs? What happened?

No item nerfs? Dude What? Dyadus is no longer a real item and stormfire is no longer a broken meme item. Try reading.

Question: Why did GGG give major buffs to Fire/Lightning Trap (that were also both heavily used), yet feel the need to nerf Ice Trap (probably the least used trap)?

<3 the Map Balances. Thanks GGG!

trap meta

Zana Bloodlines is gone. This will have a massive impact on map sustain.

I'm quite OK with this, the T3 Cartographer's Office will presumably create a lot of maps, as will Uber Atziri and/or Uber Lab runs.

Breach nerf? Really?
