Content Update 3.8.0 -- Path of Exile: Blight

HYPE

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ah shit, here we go again

Meh

-Shield Charge now uses your equipped shield, including any cosmetics applied to it, for its effect, with the exception of the "Focus" shields (pure Intelligence base types).



Wait, so if you use a pure intel shield, shield charge uses weapon?

NICE

Now grants increased cooldown recovery speed for your Zombie's Slam Attack as the gem levels, up to 76% at gem level 20 (previously none).

Violent Dead: Can no longer drop or be obtained from quests.

You have got to be absolutely kidding me. This is the largest nerf you could possibly give to Zombies, trying to MAKE them nothing but meat shields, or to pair with the Minion Instability/Minion RF/Aukuna's Will items/gems. Reverse this crap immediately! You're throwing away Zombies as a solid DPS choice in favor of everything else. No. Stop that.

Violent Dead is 100% mandatory for Zombies' dps, and the passive node for them from the Ascendency gave 100% cooldown recovery, not 76%. This is a bogus, huge nerf to Zombies' damage output, meanwhile you're giving Skeletons some huge amount of love? No. Just no.
