Evasion is probably the strongest defensive option at the moment, when combined with sufficient life. There's now a lot more life in the dexterity part of the tree.

Totally agree that evasion>all in end game and block and acrobatics also, if u have 3k+ hp. But here same situation like with crits in pre 0.9.11, hp passives is far from starter of all classes expect marauder, but evasion or armor nearest options. Here many ppl build 10k+ eva or armor on merciless, and have 800-1500 hp. Btw they doing well untill meet vaal's constructs, chaos damage snakes, projectile weakness sceletons or high crit chance casters mobs. From this situations coming myth about not viable evasion, and unblanced melees expect marauder. How about swap some evasion and armor passives from classes starter areas with life passives, or fuse eva in dex tree with life and armor in str\dex, str\int areas too but think its be op.

P.S. for evasion haters, i have 5 70+ rangers, played many different builds. My best chars _Fiora_ and Ykysha 78 and 79 melee rangers, that never had IR.

What is item level changing ? why is it important to know item lvl?

Is power of mods added by currency somehow dependant on item lvl, or rather item lvl is just summarized evaluation of all mods and stats?

Not only the possible item mods at a craft roll are dependent, but also the possible amount of sockets.

Great patch

I've been enjoying the game so far and it's always getting better and better! Keep up the good work!

To all the GGC Staff:

Thank you all for caring so much about the community and the well being of the game's development. Not only does the GGC team inspires me but it also tell the gamers' world how much love can be transmited throughout a single video game. Anyway, that was my tender part.

To all of you good sirs, have a fun gaming journey.

Concern about changes to map drops.

I did a quick survey of people actually playing endgame right now. The *average* increased item quantity was well over 100%. Probably pushing 150%.

In order to increase the actual frequency we see maps, if iiq is removed from teh equation, you'd have to literally *triple* the drop chances on maps. I'm worried map drop frequencies aren't going to be increased enough, and with iiq no longer affecting it, the experienced drop frequencies of maps for those people currently playing endgame will go down.

Fixed bugs related to who was assigned credit from kills by converted monsters, or by minions of converted monsters.

Nice, now I think conversion trap should work right. Will test it out when the patch goes live..
Other problem with conversion trap is written here: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/30768/page/4/#p620361


Btw: When all our skill points will be reset and there will be changes to the skilltree, will we also get some refund points?

Never happened this way. And also, why should you get addtional refunds when you get all your points reseted? You can simulate your new build with the webtree, and (if it seems neccessary to try things) keep some points you are unsure to spend later after some checks.
