* This patch contains some changes to the end-game in an effort to make more areas worth exploring. It is important to offer more replayability via build diversity, but another way to achieve that is to give players more reasons to visit underused side areas. Before this rework, very few side areas were worth visiting, but a notable exception is ‘The Pit Level 2’. This zone is famous for having an equivalent monster level as the Throne of Destruction which means players can get the same item drops but with lower risk since that zone contains weaker monsters. The advantage of Throne of Destruction on the other hand is that it offers both the best drops and the most experience in the game. Although there are a few other notable examples like Countess farming, most other zones in the game are virtually useless to farm. The rework of the end-game plans to address this in a way that should be familiar for Path of Exile players; a mapping/dungeoneering system. We’ve changed some side areas to be completely new dungeons that offer higher monster level for more experience gain, however the content’s difficulty has also increased.

Revision as of 17:42, 30 January 2019

Patch #16: Jade

New Realm: For those that haven't played in a few months: We have moved the realm to what we believe is a better server and also improved the software. We hope to have increased speed and reliability to the login server and hopefully we can support more online players without issues. We've extended the season by about 3 months so that we could improve issues that we've been dragging behind for years now. So thank you for your patience.

New Trade Website: Introducing the new trade website: Fufhw1c.png

  • You can now see your character’s inventory and stash online. From your character page you can view items and list them for sale very quickly. You no longer need to screenshot items or type them in manually! https://i.imgur.com/TkGi6HY.gifv
  • Tagged items have an icon. All listed items are ‘verified’ meaning the player still has them for sale. If the player trades the item away, the website will automatically remove it from the listing. This means less tedious unlisting after successful trades. Z1JRL5E.png
  • You can also swap characters instantly, in one click, without any page load. STjAnAA.png
  • Search for items has also become easier. We no longer make you load a long list of items with a very basic search bar. Now you can quickly search for the exact item you want by filtering the properties you care about. https://i.imgur.com/LorIBUj.gifv
  • Set your parameters then go through your results and see the item’s full stats and what the seller wants for it. https://i.imgur.com/1kO4Gvn.gifv

Twitch Extension Update: The PoD Gear twitch extension has been updated. It has a few bug fixes and a huge improvement to stability so it should stay operational throughout the ladder. Furthermore you now set an account name rather than a character name in the dashboard. Your current character will be displayed to the viewers automatically. If you already have the extension installed it should update automatically although you will need to set your account name. If you haven't checked it out yet you can read how here: https://pathofdiablo.com/wiki/index.php?title=PoD_Gear_Twitch_Extension

Misc

  • Horadrim Sigil acquisition has changed. The sigil will always drop from Nihlathak in Normal and can sometimes drop from Nihlathak in Nightmare and Hell. The Orb of Enchantment can sometimes drop from Nihlathak (in Nightmare and Hell) and from the Forgotten Desert relic boss. The orb can also drop from any monster in the game just like the Orb of Corruption does.
  • The Cow King has returned! (Don’t worry you can still open the portal after killing him). <-- Bugged, DO NOT KILL THE COW KING in this patch
  • Uber Izual has ascended and earned the modifier ‘Prime Evil’. (this basically makes him like the act bosses and other ubers who have special resistances and damage reductions).
  • Forgotten Sands relic may now spawn Blood Lords instead of Fallen.

Skills

Skills
Amazon

  • Charged Strike now has a maximum cap of 9 charged bolts.
  • Multiple Shot and Strafe have had their damage scaling improved slightly.
  • Magic Arrow now always pierces.

Assassin

  • Reverted the Blades of Ice attack animation which was accidentally changed when reworking the skill. It now uses the same animation as the vanilla version.
  • Dragon Talon kick damage synergy from Dragon Flight has been increased to 15% (was 10).
  • Dragon Talon now deals weapon damage. (applies all wep dmg attributes like cb/ds)
  • The Shadow Master will now properly use all changed assassin skills like Blade Shield, Emberstorm, Static Strike or Dragon Talon.
  • Wake of Inferno has been reworked. Full details: https://www.patreon.com/posts/wake-of-inferno-19757937
  • Blades of Ice cold damage per level has been increased by about 50%.
  • Blades of Ice cold damage synergy from active Ice charges increased from 10 to 20%.
  • Static Strike lightning damage scaling has been increased slightly at lower levels and moderately at higher levels.
  • Static Strike lightning damage synergy from active Thunder charges increased from 10 to 20%.
  • Emberstorm fire damage per level increased by about 30% at all levels.
  • Emberstorm fire damage synergy from active Ember charges increased from 10 to 20%.
  • Emberstorm fire damage synergy from Fire Blast increased from 13 to 16%.
  • Fade and Burst of Speed duration per level increased from 12 to 16.
  • Venom duration per level increased from 4 to 8.
  • The stats ‘+% Lightning Skill Damage’, ‘-% Enemy Lightning Resist’, ‘+% Fire Skill Damage’ and ‘-% Enemy Fire Resist’ now work with all Assassin sentries.

Barbarian

  • Cleave weapon damage has been increased from 50% to 60%.
  • Crushing Blow and Deadly Strike chance during Whirlwind has been reduced from ½ to ⅓ .
  • Whirlwind weapon damage reduced from 100% to 90%.

Druid

  • Fire Claw damage synergies reduced from 17% to 13%.
  • Fire Claw fire damage scaling at lvl 23+ has been reduced slightly.
  • Raven cold damage synergy increased from 20% to 21%.
  • Raven physical damage synergy increased from 18 to 20%.
  • Molten Boulder knockback chance reduced from 50% to 30%.
  • Molten Boulder’s flame animation is both smaller and shorter visually. In the original game, the fire trail left by Molten Boulder only dealt damage near the boulder which means the long fire trail left behind, which lasts multiple seconds, did not actually deal damage. So the new visual effects now represent exactly the hitbox of the boulder fire trail. The new flame is also shorter in height. Both of these changes help reduce visual clutter and have no gameplay impact.
  • Molten Boulder no longer has a cooldown.
  • Molten Boulder damages have been re-balanced and synergies changed significantly with the goal of reducing its power early due to the cooldown removal but improving its scaling into the end-game.

Necromancer

  • Bone and Flesh Offering starting duration increased from 4 to 5 seconds.
  • Bone and Flesh Offering radius gained per level has been doubled.
  • Raised Skeletons and Skeletal Magi will now once again improve their look as Summon Mastery is leveled like was the case in vanilla with Skeleton Mastery.

Paladin

  • Reverted a previous change to Blessed Aim which added flat accuracy in addition to the accuracy%.
  • Blessed Hammer projectile speed has been increased. It will circle around the player quicker which should result in a more consistent and responsive AoE with less delay when targeting monsters behind the player. The hammers also appear left of the character now to properly represent the damage path. In the original game the hammer’s first 6 frames are invisible so it only starts appearing when in front of the character but was still dealing damage to the left. Now the animation will be synced with the damage path it always had.
  • Concentration will now show the hidden bonus it gives to Blessed Hammer.
  • Sanctuary magic damage synergy from Cleansing increased from 15% to 18%.
  • Sanctuary has a new magic damage synergy from Dashing Strike (18%).
  • Redemption aura radius has been decreased from 24 to 16 yards.

Sorceress

  • Discharge lightning damage scaling at level 17+ has been reduced slightly for a more linear damage progression.
  • Discharge lightning damage synergy from Nova has been reduced from 4% to 3%.
  • Nova lightning damage scaling at level 28+ has been reduced slightly.
  • Nova’s lightning damage synergy from Discharge has been reduced from 4% to 3%.
  • Thunder Storm returns to the Sorceress but with changes. zXdw9M2.png
  • Meteor’s cooldown has been reduced from 2.52s to 1.28s.

Bugs

  • Fixed a bug which caused Unique and Set boots to not properly apply kick damage.
  • Fixed a bug which caused boots to keep dealing the old kick damage after upgrading the base. So exceptional boots upgraded to elite kept dealing their exceptional base’s damage and same for normal to exceptional.
  • Fixed a bug which caused the poison version of Raise Skeletal Magi to deal much more damage than all other elements.
  • Fixed a bug which caused Ball Lightning to deal no damage.

Patch #14: Serandite

For the first time in over three years I'm releasing a mid-season patch. Several new (and higher quality) servers have been added: -Seattle -Chicago -Frankfurt -Sydney -Melbourne

Misc

  • Diablo (clone) from Infernal Trials now has more life and some of his ‘Fire/Cold/Lightning Resistances’ have been replaced by ‘Fire/Cold/Lightning Absorb +%’.
  • The following skills can now be assigned to Left Click: Hydra, Meteor, Blizzard, War Cry.
  • Further improved the wording of the Magic Damage Reduction stat for clarity. This has no gameplay impact and still behaves exactly like the original game.
  • Added lootfilter support for custom drop sounds.

Items

  • The maximum kick damage on boots has been set to 1.5x the minimum damage which may cause an increase or decrease in maximum kick damage depending on the original range for the boots. (existing boots will show the new damage values but only new boots will correctly work with the new Dragon Talon changes. So you will need to get new boots after the patch if you wish to start gaining the kick damage).
  • Points into Strength no longer increases kick damage.
  • The Redeemer’s “Damage +(60-120)” stat has been changed to “Adds 80-120 Damage” this is to fix bugs related to “Damage +X” mods not scaling like regular damage does on attack skills and also giving extra physical damage to skills that shouldn’t be benefiting like Smite.
  • Bloodtree Stump now gives ‘+3 Two Handed Weapon Mastery’ instead of ‘+3 Mace Mastery’
  • Plague Runeword will now correctly show the Cleansing aura level (this will not apply to existing items).
  • The unique item Stormspire has been reworked. Before.jpg / After.jpg

Skills
Amazon

  • Dragon Talon now has a kick damage synergy from Dragon Flight.
  • Changed Dragon Flight’s claw/dagger requirement to boots requirement to match Dragon Talon.

  • Blades of Ice's mana cost per level has been decreased from ~0.5 to ~0.25.
  • Dual Strike now has a damage synergy from Weapon Block.

Druid

  • Fire Claw’s damage per level (at levels 23+) has been decreased.
  • Fury is no longer interuptable.

Paladin

  • Vengeance’s elemental damage and synergies have been reverted back to the original game’s values.
  • Vengeance will now give the elemental damage to the character during the attack which will cause it to work with Melee Splash.
  • Vengeance’s tooltip will now clearly show the physical weapon damage being used for the calculation as well as the resulting elemental damage. The calculations are done exactly like in the original game.

Bugs

  • Fixed a bug with Cham Rune which caused the ‘Reduced Skill Cooldown’ stat to be disabled on Armors and Shields.
  • (Hopefully) fixed a multiplayer-only bug with “Fires Explosive Arrows” stat found on items such as Ravenclaw.
  • Fixed a bug which allowed Orb of Corruptions to be consumed on a normal (white) item even though it cannot actually roll anything on normal quality items.
  • Fixed a tooltip error that showed power strike as having 110% weapon damage when it always had 100.
  • Fixed some tooltip errors with Dragon Talon.
  • Fixed a bug which caused Fend to require level 18 even though it was previously moved to the level 12 row.

Patch #13: Titanium

Misc

  • Added a new crafting orb: Orb of Enchantment.
  • Improved the way Diablo’s laser works so that it no longer leaves gaps where melee characters can stand to avoid damage. This does end up causing Normal Diablo’s damage to have increased a tiny bit so be careful.

  • Reduced Key of Chaos drop rate.
  • The Infernal Trial area has been made smaller.

  • Laying of Hands’ ‘+350% Damage Against Demons’ has been lowered to +225-250% (varies).
  • Fixed Phoenix Runeword’s ‘100% chance to cast level 40 Dodge on Level-Up’ by changing it to the new Blaze.
  • Added 1-80 Lightning Damage to Warshrike to make up for the removal of Nova proc in the middle of Season 4 (due to graphical issues it caused). Does not apply to existing Warshrikes.

Skills
Amazon

  • The Amazon’s Dodge, Evade and Avoid skills have had their chance to avoid damage reduced.
  • Phase Run’s damage has been removed.
  • Valkyrie has been reworked slightly. Her physical damage per level has improved. Her Lightning and Physical damages will now be listed on the skill description. She has a new physical damage synergy from Jab. She no longer uses Phase Run.
  • Decoy has been reworked. Her damage will be listed on the skill description. The skill description will now also show her shared life with you. She now uses your bow’s physical damage. Her duration has decreased and she no longer uses Phase Run.
  • Ice Arrow’s additional arrows have been removed.
  • Immolation Arrow’s post-explosion fire ground will last 2 seconds (down from 4) to reduce visual clutter (the DPS will be unaffected).
  • Immolation Arrow’s burn damage synergy from Fire Arrow has been increased to 16% (up from 14%).

Patch #8: Pyrite

Misc
New Mapping/Dungeoneering System

  • We are introducing a new dungeoneering system that will significantly improve the current one we have in place. The current dungeons will be reverted back to normal. So what is the new system?
  • Players will find Relics which are tiered. When a player finds a relic, he can bring it to an Altar and use it. This will create a portal to a high level dungeon. These dungeons are exclusive to the end-game. They are inaccessible until Hell and require level 80 to open. These dungeons offer an optional alternative end-game aimed for high level characters (90+) where they can farm difficult content for experience and loot. These areas become harder and harder as you climb the Tiers.
  • Each map has a boss and currently you are required to kill the map boss in order to gain access to higher tiers. Dungeons get increasingly difficult as you enter higher tiers but they will provide excellent experience points. These dungeons are safest when done in a group. It is not recommended to enter solo unless your character has end-game gear. Please be advised that the map bosses can be pretty scary. Tread carefully.
  • There is currently 3 tiers out of the planned 5. The other tiers will be patched in later due to time constraints. Please make sure to send in feedback on the dungeoneering system so that it can be further improved in the upcoming patches.

Patch #4: Onyx

Misc
Mapping/Dungeoneering

  • This patch contains some changes to the end-game in an effort to make more areas worth exploring. It is important to offer more replayability via build diversity, but another way to achieve that is to give players more reasons to visit underused side areas. Before this rework, very few side areas were worth visiting, but a notable exception is ‘The Pit Level 2’. This zone is famous for having an equivalent monster level as the Throne of Destruction which means players can get the same item drops but with lower risk since that zone contains weaker monsters. The advantage of Throne of Destruction on the other hand is that it offers both the best drops and the most experience in the game. Although there are a few other notable examples like Countess farming, most other zones in the game are virtually useless to farm. The rework of the end-game plans to address this in a way that should be familiar for Path of Exile players; a mapping/dungeoneering system. We’ve changed some side areas to be completely new dungeons that offer higher monster level for more experience gain, however the content’s difficulty has also increased.
  • The Hole Level 1 now has a monster level of 87.
  • The Hole Level 2 now has a monster level of 88.
  • Stony Tomb Level 1 now has a monster level of 87.
  • Stony Tomb Level 2 now has a monster level of 88.
  • Halls of Pain now has a monster level of 87.
  • Halls of Vaught now has a monster level of 88.
  • All dungeons have had their area size increased. Due to an unforeseen bug, some areas will remain their normal size until we patch a fix some time after the ladder reset.
  • Each dungeon contains a varied list of monsters that can spawn in them, in a multitude of combinations.
  • The item drops within dungeons are the same as Worldstone Chamber.
  • This is the first part of the end-game rework. Don’t forget to give us feedback on these new dungeons. We want to make sure that this system is working perfectly before we can implement the remaining dungeoneering/mapping system.

Items

  • When an Act 5 monster rolls ‘Junk’ (consisting of keys, throwing potions, TPs, IDs and small gold stacks) to drop, it will instead drop nothing about half the time. This change does not affect other drops. Players should now notice less item clutter in the Throne of Destruction.
  • The mod ‘Piercing Attacks’ now specifies the pierce chance percentage in the tooltip.
  • The unique item ‘Todesfaelle Flamme’ has been reworked. [Before.jpg](TodesfaelleFlamme.jpg) / [After.jpg](17308ff7a66f56d30259120d2fdb83a2.png)
