Content Update 3.23.0 -- Path of Exile: Affliction

All enchants are gone including Helm, glove, boot and belt.
all enchantements are gone guys. the lab font at the end has been completely replaced by the gem font with transfigured stuff and qual and excetionnal gem.

The Divine Font at the end of the Eternal Labyrinth is now a gem crafting device that can modify your skill and support gems by turning them into Transfigured Gems, add Quality or Experience to Gems, or sacrifice a Gem for one or more Treasure Keys to open Izaro's Chests.

also from the patch notes "Mysterious Incubators can no longer award Enchanted Items"
Logbook Remnants that cause Runic Monsters or Chests to have a chance to drop an Enchanted Item now provide a chance to drop Ritual Splinters instead.

Added a new Tainted Catalyst that can be obtained from the Trialmaster. It applies a random quality type and amount of quality to a Corrupted Ring, Amulet or Belt, and replaces other quality types.

etc ...

only one not mentionned i see is blight chests but i suppose it got the same treatment

You guys need to be more careful with your words. Obviously not all Enchantments are gone. Weapon, Armor, cluster jewels, maps, flask and voidstone enchants should be well and healthy.
Hm I dont get it. How you allways get out of this GGG.

Diablo would get a huge Shitstorm for that Patchnotes.

I see mostly nerfs. In particular a big nerf to RF builds that have a medium life pool and stack gem levels. I really hope I'm wrong, but quick calculation has RF nerfed by about 25% with 5k life and a LVL20 gem. This would hit even harder the more gem levels you get.

Please tell me I'm wrong and call me an idiot. Please.


I don't think you are wrong... I've done some calculations and if those are correct (I mostly calculated pure life) this is what we get:

At the moment the only positive thing for sure is that radius probably, as for the damage I'm somewhat disappointed or rather not sure/confused how it will work out.

For example, let's say u are level 16:

500hp (35%DMG from this is 175) so 175+39(level1RF) = 214DMG
500hp (70% is 350) so 350DMG this is ~50% increase so early levels seem like a buff.

Now let's say 5000hp and level 20gem:

5000hp (35% is 1750) so 1750+(level20RF)2450 = 4200DMG (I'm not even calculating in additional %spell damage)
5000hp (70% is 3500) so 3500DMG (it's a terrible almost 20% decrease :( )

So we can see that there's a significant drop off if you use only HP. I won't calculate additional ES, but pure life suffers if my calcs are correct.

Now, it slowly catches up past 6000HP, for example:

6500hp (35% is 2275) so 2275+2450 = 4725DMG
6500hp (70% is 4550) so 4550DMG so at this point if you have some ES like 500 at least you surpass the old gem?

As you can see it is kind of a NERF for plain life, or you need a high amount like 7K+ hp or additional ES for it to be better.

Again, not sure if I calculated everything correctly, but roughly it seems plain life is a nerf, especially if you are at ~5k life without ES, you would need additional 1000ES to catch up but if we transfer 1000ES to old gem it still does more. Very weird spot right now.

The shittiest thing is that just when I wanted to try to play RF for the first time it went through such changes... GGG like untimely jokes...
Stupid PoE2 Particle System Patch...

New mute system is another hot garbage.

The GemQualityType condition has been removed.

which was added in heist
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2935826
GemQualityType Superior
GemQualityType Divergent
GemQualityType Anomalous
GemQualityType Phantasmal

Does this mean we have to loot every quality gem to see if it's an alternative version?

edit: I understand the Transfigured Gems part,
But will there be a loot filter for Transfigured Gems?

Alternate quality gems will no longer exist. They're being replaced with Transfigured Gems, which you can get from the Divine Font in the Eternal Labyrinth.
