Announcing Path of Exile: Legion

I don't know how you guys at GGG keep changing things up. The shear amount of creativity that comes from your studio is astounding. Cannot wait for Legion to drop, going to have to book time off work. Thank you.

the trailer looks amazing. god old time of fighting monsters melee style.

thing is just, while melee really is exciting like in the trailer, it's likely 2 mouse clicks for a comparable spell caster to just drop dead the whole screen at once. and the next screen too.

The ideas for this league are amazing, hitting exactly what we want. And the melee changues look SO ABSOLUTELY GOOD. So hyped for this :D

Will Flicker Strike get any love?

gives me malazan book of the fallen vibe, hmmm

after watching only the official trailer, this is hype worthy! gg ggg!

This is my big concern over the melee revamp: melee looks strong in the trailer because we didn't see any Winter Orb, Arc or Soul Rend builds in the footage. While it looks like that berserker is having fun cycloning away, he seems to be making a meal of it: a caster would just oneshot the entire pack and leave within a second or two, and make a mockery of the "hit more enemies for better rewards" thing by easily wiping entire armies while melee carefully and slowly chooses a small group of targets before the time runs out.

Maybe Melee won't have the clear speed ability of a ranged class, but hopefully they compensate that by making melee much more tanky.
Or maybe they have a new support gem which can give you better screen clear.

The league may be interesting. We'll see. The important thing is how much the melee changes actually fix melee and make it comparable to spells and bows.
Also I hope this re balance is not only for melee skills but for other attacks as well as everything except spells and bows is severely lacking.
