Content Update 3.16.0 -- Path of Exile: Scourge

Just to make sure with Gladiator changes that have you tested that the new node

"

Violent Retaliation: Now has Ignore Enemy Monster Physical Damage Reduction if you've blocked in the past 20 seconds, and Attack Damage is Lucky if you've Blocked in the past 20 seconds.

That the Physical damage penetration part works for impale too?
Because it ain't fun to find out in map's that you are lacking 70% of damage because the penetration ain't working on fast hitting cyclone for the impale part of the skill...

Minion buffs when?

Minion damage reduced. Again. Even the SRS refresh node removed. The one spectre that was not fit only for blowing up was removed.

Though hopefully there'll be new spectre playthings from scourge realm.

"[...]introduce a new attack-based mechanic to be able to deal much more Burning damage to a targeted enemy."

I'd love to finally hear more about this because depending on how you implement this mechanic melee ignite could either be super strong or clunky and weak

Problem: how do we inform the players there are in fact many more nerfs other than fortify as the boss said?
Solution: pretend nothing happened

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the POB team for exposing their "selective truth" :)

LOL i wasnt even talking about the Blood Crucible, which obviously you didn't understand, but about the Temporal Rift skill which showcases an interaction with Forbidden Rite, the same skill you claim to be nerfed actually WASNT EVEN TOUCHED AT ALL, they only changed the way totems mitigate damage so people use it as intended.

Your statement isnt true, im sorry.

Any new update regarding Gladiator Ascendancy? It seems Gladiator is dead as a cold fish and unplayable in HC. Note that something is wrong when it is easier to get max block/spell block with Ascendant than Gladiator.

so the most recent large maps, Bramble Valley, Cold River, and Frozen Cabins, have all been removed? Why? These were great maps.

Also, Burial Chambers? RIP Doctor card farmers.
