Worry not as GGG has listened to the criticism [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/3uedkf/the_ascendancy_supporter_packs/cxe6hbx[/url]
Really solid response and a lot more value now to the supporter packs
GGG never ceases to amaze me, I think I'll get the lowest one just for that
Path of Exile is being released in Brazil on December 11, French and German versions coming at some point next year. [url]https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1486279[/url]
So I decided to re-roll one of my old characters into a flameblast totem build.
It actually worked, sort of. In a way, it's basically a safer alternative to casting the 10 stack flameblast yourself though it cannot benefit from spell echo.
Interesting interview, a bit of an intro + some specific Ascendancy stuff:

at 12:45 Chris mentions a new spell: Earthquake (a phys version of Ice crash?!)

In 2.0 they made spell echo not work with Flameblast (because apparently murdering prolif wasn't enough) so you aren't losing out on much :v:
Do totems still hold the flameblast at 10 stacks until they die or do they actually use it properly?

They hold the 10 stacks until they die/are unsummoned so have to summon more totems which is a bit bad when there are no enemy packs nearby so the totems don't get to do anything.
As soon as talisman league starts I'm making a fire trapper and making my goal to get kongming stratagem

Truly the most amazing feature GGG is ever going to add :v: Now I need to buy the black cat and the deer pet...

[editline]6th December 2015[/editline]
[quote]Surgeon's Flasks (Nerfed, but not retroactively)
Surgeon's flask mods now grant a chance to gain a charge on critical strike, rather than unconditionally granting one. This will not change flask mods spawned before the deployment of 2.1.0 - they will still work the old way.
The Surgeon's mod made many flasks too easy to keep full for a heavily specialised critical strike character - far beyond what was originally intended. Players today have many more options to reach very high values of Critical Strike Chance, Attack and Cast Speeds than when the mod was created. These stats all have a compounding effect on the power of the flask.

Woo legacy flask mods :v:
imo that should be retroactive, unless the chance is rubbish they will still be extremely strong for crit characters - the sustain on my shitty CoC character was insane even though he only had 2.8k hp, just because of the instant health pot spam
[editline]7th December 2015[/editline]
also a curious change for point blank, I thought people liked the 100% less because it stopped you hitting reflect packs offscreen with stray arrows. with 50% less the damage will still be near useless

lmao never change GGG, never change
I'm gonna stock up and make tons of money off of new players, like always
I'm checking out the new tree, and I'm unsure if starting as a shadow would be wise for a fire trap build and if going out of my way to grab the "can set up 2 aditional mines" node is worth it.
Life seems really lacking on shadow's side, maybe I should go life+es?

i don't understand this line of logic at all, instead of nerfing these kinds of builds they just make them more expensive? seems really stupid

Welcome to Path of Exile my friend.
Stupid question, but I'm wondering if "increased spell damage" increases the fire trap explosion, the damage over time, or both.
I know fire trap has the "spell" tag, but wiki says nothing if if affects just one or both effects.
afaik initial explosion is scaled via spell damage, the burning ground isnt

Play temporary leagues and you'll never have to care about legacy items :v:
I'm not sure why all nerfs aren't retroactive, but I think it's also far too late to make all nerfs retroactive.
i think they generally dont do retro nerfs specifically to keep standard a 'play with a bunch of shit that was broken in the past!' sandboxy environment
standard is barely the same game as temp leagues
[quote]Incinerate is no longer affected by Spell Echo, as was intended in 2.0.0. Incinerate now only adds 50% more damage for each stage, down from 100% more damage. Incinerate's damage has been increased by 15% at level 1 and reduced by approximately 8% at level 20.
[/quote]
i feel like maybe it didnt need both of those nerfs but who knows maybe they tried one at a time and it was still vastly overpowered
that's kind of a relief, I've been wanting to try a fire-> chaos spell caster using that dagger but I didn't want to be funnelled into incinerate
maybe I'll try firestorm :v:

Yay we finally get free MTX that isn't another recolor of the Seraph set :v: It looks pretty cool.

Oh god. One of the challenges requires you to do A Swig of Hope in Merciless. I haven't done that quest in years because of how [i]awful, boring, and long it is for the shitty reward you get[/i]
holy shit there's so many requirements for the challenges
I wonder how many people are going to be able to fully clear a Twinned Core map. Probably not many. The divination card challenges will also be pretty hard... [del]so will IDing a Taste of Hate.[/del] Okay so you only have to ID 4 of those 12, that's not that bad.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to 28 of them :v:
yeah, some pretty brutal challenges in there. level 90 is a fucking tall order for me too
maybe I better stick to a certified nicebuild™ so I don't burn out, I really want that armour set
welp, time to make a poison arrow build.
Cyclone is going to be fucking delicious with that axe.
League hype!
My body is ready.
