...arguing....So how bout dem Freezing Pulses

Haha, been a while since the days of Freeze Pulse, I still get nostalgia - you show us how good it is <3

I always loved that skill. Just seemed so unique and cool, and made PoE really stick out to me when I first started. Linking it up with gems and getting multiple projectiles, faster proj speed, etc. I just always thought It was cool from the beginning. So seeing it buffed has me excited, as it never turned out so great in the last when I used it.

But now with Echo, the buffs to the flat gems like Added Chaos (a while ago yeah, but including that in my thinking here), the freeze nodes (or the other status nodes since you could try burning and even shocking to a much better degree now), and the huge damage buff, it just finally seems to be a good, solid skill. I'm really looking forward to trying it. I am sick of tank builds on the left side of the tree, which is what I usually do as a solo player.

Also now we have MoM for EB versions of a FP build. Not to mention Ice Spear and the new Crit Weakness, which go so well with FP. And last but not least lol, the fact that dual curses are more efficiently obtained on the tree now (they are near good nodes, and on a now much better path) is cool too. Although I may just get an item with the curse implicit like I usually do nowadays.

So yeah lol. End essay on why I'm so happy about trying FP. It may not turn out so great, but I want to try for fun. If I can kill Palace Dom with it, then it is successful, for me. So that is the goal I suppose. Although I'm so used to block builds, it may be a little tougher. Not sure if you could squeeze block into a FP build. Perhaps.

much patch so wow

You need help? This morning when I got to work, booted up my PC, I entered pathofexile.com as my password. As the login failed I sat there thinking to myself: "wtf did I just do".

WTB buff to RF's AoE radius, don't force us to waste like 8 points on witch AoE just to replace carcass jack with a Kaom's.

So are Standard/Rampage players needing to deal with Invaders?

The concept of invaders no longer exists ingame - as in, one of those bosses will randomly spawn in the area. Some of the invaders have been turned into regularly appearing unique monsters in specific zones and the patch notes say 'rebalanced' which I assume means nerfed to the power level of other area unique mobs.

There are invading monsters but the rate at which they spawn has been significantly lowered.

Actually, I just realized that the patch notes say that Shockwave Totem now COUNTS as spell damage, not SCALES with spell damage. Does this mean that the damage it deals will be spell damage now, no longer physical damage? If so, that would explain the 50% damage increase (since Hatred/etc would no longer benefit it).
