That boss 1,2,3 are replacement of basic one or addition?

This could be interesting for several map / endgame bosses!

All those powers look a bit too situational to be really useful. I guess that was the intent so that they don't become too powerful. We'll see how it actually works when 3.0 launches.

Seems cool :) I like the idea of being able to easily change pantheon to suit the situation/build etc

pantheon is like Bleed on beta underwhelming and quite useless

that's why the beta key was $30, duh.

WOW!!! I cant w8 for the expanison!!!! I realy want to play 3.0!

PoE is already regarded by some as a bit hard to get in to.
i.e. Mega-skill tree, hundreds of skills and mechanics that interact, and then class Ascendancies (which require you to run maps etc. to get all the bits you need to get your 4th ascendancy.

And this is another feature which add complexity to character builds.

I mean .. we're all here because we love creating and customising characters and obviously PoE excels here .. but IMHO it adds complexity for very little benefit. I'd imagine for a new player it makes a bewildering experience even more so. "What ... there's even MORE stuff to learn about to ensure I'm playing optimally?"

Of course it can be ignored ... but typically it's not a great idea (in software) to add features that most people don't use (because code has to be maintained and tested in all subsequent releases).

Just my 2c. I'm not in Beta ... so not used it yet.

p.s. The interface looks pretty clunky. I mean ... pretty ... but not that clear.

-5% damage taken from DoT
-5% fire dmg taken while moving
My RF build will love it !

Any plans to buff Pantheon system? As its now its just useless random trash.

Most of these buffs are worthless. How about a temp buff that makes the next lethal hit leave you with one life?

This was the concession for nerfing half of the game?
