Patch Notes - Content Update 3.20.0 -- Path of Exile: The Forbidden Sanctum - Forum

This is gonna be a likely skip for me. no skill buffs, only a nerf to 2 meta outliers. Most skills that are off meta can barely get enough damage to survive, let alone enough defense before we're talking about multi-dozen divines investments. You buff uniques only to make them so rare the average player will drop 1 in 10 leagues? For reference I've seen 0 mageblood, 0 headhunter and 0 mirrors in 12k hours. You take away 1 of 2 usefull recipies from harvest to bring back harbingers from lifesupport, caused by a change wholly unnecessary in the first place (div <-> ex).

@GGG please consider rework the layout of the currency stash tab - swap places of exalts and divines... so that divines are next to the mirror slot int the centre please. I guess a super easy & fast switch... Tyty	Posted by Lunasicc187#5022 on Dec 1, 2022, 6:01:11 PM Quote this Post
Same meta for another league? That definitely lowered my hype by a considerable amount.	Posted by Cenxi#2863 on Dec 1, 2022, 6:02:57 PM Quote this Post

This change shouldn't affect builds that don't have ways to gain Elusive outside of Withering Step." Doesn't this completely gimp any build that has elusive AND uses Withering step for ... Wither stacks ??? Yep :) no, if you use wither step again it reset itself if you don't have elusive from another source, if you us it only to apply wither stack and phasing you will be ok	Posted by GATO_VZLA#9005 on Dec 1, 2022, 6:05:10 PM Quote this Post

(1.0 - .66 = .34%) Curses in 3.20 Curses were generally nerfed to be 74% as effective as they were in 3.19. However, bosses no longer have a built-in curse effectivness reduction, and are thus more effective. (.74 - 0 - .74%) If you do the math, Spoiler which is hard for you guys I know, , this results in an increase of curse effectiveness by 117.64% against bosses compared to 3.19. Y'all are too old for this, get it together. Now to continue reading this and reddit while I munch on my popcorn. Now do the same math for nerfed despair (on hit). And don't forget to include the fact that assassin now doesn't have a way to refresh elusive. And lastly, don't forget the fact that poison based assassin has been in the dumps for last 4 leagues (I played it every league so I know). How is that math looking to you? Good patch GGG. I see what you're doing long-term and I really appreciate it. You are not taking into account less popular curse builds such as on hit despair in conjunction with poison assassin. Those build are completely decimated in 3.20. Despair overall is nerfed for such build. That build was also nerfed by prevention of elusive refresh via withering step. Poison based assassin was already terrible and now is dogshit tier. I'm not too well-informed about poisons generally, but relaying on a rare "despair on hit" ring modifier seems like a terrible foundation for a build. I would gently consider wither totems, and strongly suggest reexamining your skill tree. Rebuild it from the ground up looking at every aspect. If I can make Voltaxic Burst work without jank. I'm certain you can make a poison assassin.	Posted by drafaelf26#3396 on Dec 1, 2022, 6:11:34 PM Quote this Post
GGG, i think you forgot to post the buffs to underused gems. Thanks-	Posted by Zaak28#7374 on Dec 1, 2022, 6:12:10 PM Quote this Post

I only like to play RF tanky build or golem/minions builds.. where's the minions updates? where's ascendency updates to trigger more builds? the patch notes looks boring to me :(	Posted by yslai#5136 on Dec 1, 2022, 6:13:25 PM Quote this Post
Minions still dead, I read exactly 0 changes to the nerfed-to-unplayability archetype that has been a mainstay in ARPGs since Diablo 2... No meta shakeup, some overperformers nerfed, good, but no major buffs or changes to unusable skills, so you will have largely the same meta, just weaker. League idea looks +- okay, no idea about implementation, but I am not playing poe until you fix my spectres+zombies build being gutted.
