Version 0.11.4



Content:

• Added a new Dexterity/Intelligence skill - Reave: Attacks a small area in front of you. Each consecutive Reave that hits an enemy increases the area of effect. The area is reset after a short period without hitting anything. Only works with Daggers, Claws and One Handed Swords.

Oh man you only do that cause you don't want it usable for soul taker :(((

Awesome work! I wish more game developers had passion like you guys.

We don't know the damage effiency and quality and level up scaling yet, so don't be worried:P.

As expected, people continue to ignore the fact that Eldritch Battery exists and is a life-only keystone.

I'm not saying that HP doesn't need a buff, but if you really need 7-9 auras so much, build around EB. Its not impossible.

I'm sorry, but to beg for balance in a game that is in beta is silly.

Nah mate, SILLY is to think that more damage for melee builds will improve the survivability, while making ALL life nodes weaker. Many ES nodes are still untouched.

Ahh.. These performance improvements will be very welcomed. Thank you GGG!

Indeed performance improvements are a lot more important, if not the most important.

I've never heard of characters being remade upon entering new Zones or TPs in any game. It is very odd game code.

No, it's really not. It's the most straightforward and sensible way for things to be done, under the hood. You not hearing about it has more to do with the detail we do into the internal mechanics of the game on these forums than it being an odd methodology.

And no, the reason we were able to try to change this isn't because it's any less hard, it's because we fundamentally changed what a cooldown is and how it works to fix other problems, which coincidentally allowed us to change the initial state of a cooldown to 'ready'

What I meant was I knew there was an alternative all along, something better so the issue wouldn't occur regarding cooldowns and trap uses.

Right, whatever you had in the code before was an under-the-hood thing/fix (isn't all code?) but it wasn't the best approach is what I meant. It worked in that it worked good enough but didn't function as good it could function.

When I said it's 'odd game code' I meant PoE (until now) went about referring to cooldowns to something else opposed to other games that don't have this trap use or cooldown issue.

I didn't imply whatever code you had before didn't work how it was supposed to for what it was intended to work for.

That said, I am glad you guys figured out a different way to fix this in that cooldowns are defined as something else in the code and work differently so this issue doesn't occur anymore.
