Patch Notes - Path of Exile: Delve Patch Notes - Forum

So path of unnecessary nerfs as we already knew. At least my other build which was already far stronger than traps anyway gained 10% damage so I guess I will still play this league. There is only one good thing this league (well, maybe 2 if you want to do poison bow although right now I'm not holding my breath for it) which is Zana's new map mod to change a map into a random of the same tier.

" Bex_GGG wrote: [li]Shimmeron now deals 200 Lightning damage per second per Power charge (down from 400). Using a Divine Orb on an existing copy of this item will update that item to new these values. Shimmeron will also deal that damage to you if your skills have dealt a critical strike recently, rather than just you. That means you will take the damage if any skill (including a trap, totem, or mine) deals a critical strike.[/li] So does this mean ALL shimmerons, including the "legacy" ones will be affected by the "your skills" change or will it only affect new items? Because in the first case, we would need to divine our perfectly rolled shimmerons just so the damage we receive will be 50%. Is that correct?? If so, can´t you AT LEAST change all shimmerons without the need to divine them first so we keep the max rolls on our already well divined items? EDIT: By the way, Shimmerons were one of only very few "chase" items that made elder farming worth it. The way they look now just render them almost useless, just like any other item the elder drops. Except the watcher´s eyes. Another part of the endgame goes down the drain. Last edited by IamLoco on Aug 29, 2018, 6:35:29 AM	Posted by IamLoco on Aug 29, 2018, 6:31:50 AM Quote this Post
" XCodesLIVE wrote: Necro will yield better minions, but there's not a lot of useful stuff in the Witch starting area for the melee attack component of dominating blow and Necro doesn't have anything specifically useful for dominated minions (which is what really puts it over the top with respect to Skeletons/Zombies/Spectres), so Guardian will probably wind up beating it out because it can start the snowball faster with better auras and personal damage even if the minions are somewhat inferior. Since we're going to have: Increases and reductions to minion damage also affect you Increases and reductions to minion attack speed also affect you Won't we just be targeting minion damage bonuses, rather than melee bonuses, anyway? If you want to use herald of purity, then that would seem to lean you towards guardian (I have no real concept of how strong sentinel of purity will turn out to be), but for straight up dominating blow the necro bonuses seem better.

Only GGG can fuck you like this... Releases all new gems as text in full patch notes, but doesn't actually show them on the Delve page.....	Posted by DudeTheLegend on Aug 29, 2018, 6:37:33 AM Quote this Post
Could "Level 4: Alternate of Same Tier (Costs 1 Chaos Orb): Requires a Rare map. Opens a random Rare map of the same tier, excluding the map you placed in the device." be triggered by "Fortune Favours the Brave"? That would suck bad. Other than that everything seems fine.

" SaiyanZ wrote: That Static Strike change makes it pretty decent with Mjolnir: " Static Strike Now when you hit an enemy with Static Strike, you will gain a buff which causes you to frequently hit nearby enemies with beams, dealing attack damage. The beams deal more damage while you are moving than while you are stationary. The buff can stack up to three times, increasing the frequency with which the beams strike. Deals 100% of base damage at gem level 1, up to 146% at gem level 20. Beams deal 60% less damage while stationary, and 40% less while moving. This penalty drops slightly as the gem levels. Beams can hit up to 4 targets at gem level 1, and up to 6 at gem level 20. The base buff duration is 4 seconds, and each stack increases the beam's striking frequency (which is every 0.4 seconds) by 10%. Hit once and then you constantly attack for at least 4 seconds and the duration can be increased further. Mjolnir Arc should be insane clear with this. Just hit and run whilst everything dies. Hrm, that's an interesting idea. Still arc / lighting warp poet probably still faster (and don't need 400 strength), if a bit more epilepsy inducing.

Just hit and run whilst everything dies. Shield charge better clear speed with Mjolner arc. Especially with the way shield charge is being reworked in this patch. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.	Posted by Fruz on Aug 29, 2018, 6:51:41 AM Quote this Post

The changes in the Templar skill tree are good, so due to the updated POB I have 4 more free skill points (and I can chose "Elemental Overload" for my 3 "flame blast" totems), but I lose one zombie (6 instead of 7), cause the (other) "+1 to maximal number of zombies" are too far away...
