Some 0.11.4 Changes

Good job GGG!


I can't wait for covenant/malachai fix! Or a fix to require a reduced mana/blood magic gems on sockets.
I'm sick and tired to stack 5+, usually 7+ auras on every build, just because they're too good not to use -_- Although, I would delay this on release with new interesting leagues :3

ps. I really should write feedback on my 1500ish hours I've been beta testing. I'm just too lazy to begin, but I will one day! I think it'll take ten(s) of hours xD
pps. I'm afraid of dem spiders :F

Interesting I just noticed the 8% reserve doesn't stack with reduced mana support. My Purity was 27reserve with my reduced mana in or outside of the Alpha. The helmets still ok, but ya not necessary for end game aura build.

no it's different. the Quality on reduced mana never works on auras. it just works with skills ;) so there is nothing that could/couldn't "stack"
if u check the tooltip you would see that it says "cost" and not "reserved" so the quality only works with skills ;)
you can also find this in the wiki

Ya was refering to the 8% reserve thats passive on Alphas howl. I get the same reserve on my aura gems in or out of the helmet with my 0% quality lvl 17 reduced mana support. Which I found odd.

When are they going to add the ability to change the zone level difficulty to max players? Playing solo sucks for exp at the higher levels and the loot quantity sucks really bad. Being forced to join a public group for max exp and quantity is a terrible game design, let alone finding a good group in a decent amount of time.

Although I use the Alpha Howl exploit, I did know that someday it would be fixed, so I ain't too bothered about it.

I also know someday you will fix the BM unique's which would mean I will have to use the gem and lose a bit more of my life, which you nerf'd along with my armour (IR) a few patches back.

I would abandon life based characters all together and make a CI toon, but I know that will probably get a nerf soon :P

Anyway, still loving PoE, keep up the good work GGG :D

That's because the 8% Reduced Mana Reserved is not applied to just the gems in the helm, but to every gem regardless of where it's in your equipment...at least ones that reserve mana. I know because I just tried a little experiment with my Alpha's Howl and a Tempest Shield gem in my shield. TS reserves 25% mana normally and currently I have it linked to a RM gem, so I took that out and kept my helm on. TS showed that it was reserving 23% mana, even though it's in my shield and NOT in the Alpha's Howl. I took the helm off and its reserve value went back up to 25%.

So that's why you're not seeing any difference...the Reduced Mana Reserve from AH is applied to all appropriate gems you're using whether they are in the helm or not.

ah! nice reply thank you.

Ok so everyone is up in arms about AH which tbh seems pretty small. And the minority is probably speaking louder than the majority as what normally happens.

But haven't you guys even looked at the other stuff????

what about the new armor? There is so much trollage going on in that picture! I have a feeling one of these uniques can be bought with Rhoa feathers. Or something can be done with them now? What is going on there!

Please-Fix-Desync...It's been far to long...

Not going to happen. The game is designed to be played with others for the most part and GGG encourages grouping. Sorry bud.
