Content Update 3.15.0 -- Path of Exile: Expedition

League is dead on arrival to me.
IMO this league will have the lowest player retention ever!

Very happy with the changes :)

The new skills look fun!

So basically, everything is harder to kill, all our skills deal less damage and our defence is severely reduced. Ok, how does that sound fun to any of you at GGG? At the very least rework your enemies so we dont get swarmed by a thousand monsters with zero dps and zero defense. Fix your core game mechanics before gutting players.

absolutely brutal

p.s. found Harvest changes! oh... wait

OOoofff. What a rollercoaster. A slow build up with all the buffs to attack gems, and then a never ending list of nerfs.

My planned starter #2 was not crushed? Neat!

I was thinking that we could deal with the damage nerf, and the flask nerf, and everything else .. until i read the patch notes.

You reduced our damage, buffed the monsters, reduced our base stats, reduced our inherent defenses (lookin at you evasion) and then on top of that, increased the mana cost and multiplier of damn near everything. So not only will we be easier to kill and our targets harder to kill, but we wont be able to run as many auras and the mana cost of our skills is going to jump, reducing our damage output that much further.

Who knows, this all could just look terrible on paper..im very curious as to how this league is going to play out.

Im actually looking forward to the new league content itself and love how much of diablo 2 came through in this patch. Gheed, frozen orb, blessed hammer, etc. should be fun!

the worst changes i see in this patch notes are:
Bone chill ( whats the point of this gem now no effect for cold dmg over time builds )

Hypothermia ( not a gem for cold dot anymore) why????

Efficacly does like no dmg anymore why even bother to use this gem.


What support gems are we supposed to use for any cold dmg over time skill?
ele fokus inspiration controlled destruction? thats only 4 links we dont have anything else to link anymore....

me rio toda la noche

RIP... i'll be back when POE 2 is coming out

you know all these nerfes are because of poe2.

Yes, I do. But we have none of the things that POE 2 will bring to offset the nerfs (e.g. 6-link gems).

GGG thinks everybody plays this game have no life...what about HC? you nerfed skills, supports, stats, all thing and increased life of the mobs but didn't balanced their damage output; if you want to have a more pace game i'm ok with it, but at least make possible to players have a honest fight
What about bow builds? It's already a pain in the ass to levelling imagine now
