[quote][U][B]1.1.0e Patch Notes:[/B][/U]
-Reduced the damage of Searing Bond (by 28% at gem level 1, tapering to no change at gem level 20). Because most support gems don't affect Searing Bond, it's still quite powerful, especially when socketed in items that grant additional gem levels.
-Reduced the number of Maps dropped from Cartographer's Strongboxes.
-Ossecati, Boneshaper now spawns skeletons on himself rather than on the player.
-Konu, Maker of Wind no longer leeches life.
-Fixed a bug where The Bolt Juggler would set Ice Nova traps when no players were nearby.
-Reduced the spike damage potential for Spinesnap and Kamaq, Soilmaker.
-Fixed two instance crashes.[/quote]
That didn't take long.
I'm running a Firetrap Witch at the moment and decided to throw Searing Bond in on my gloves to try it out. And I managed to get around 1700 DPS at level ~40 with it(I got a Searing Touch, boosts the damage a bit)
I would throw it in to my 6L Searing Touch if I wasn't scared.

Another hotfix and a 1.1.1 teaser:
[quote][U][B]Version 1.1.0f (hotfix):[/B][/U]
-Fixed a bug where the Strongbox mod that dropped additional magic or rare items would not always drop the correct number.
-Fixed a bug where some mod restrictions on Strongboxes would not work (for example, quality mods could erroneously spawn on Jeweler's Strongboxes).
-Fixed a bug where the level 78 tri-attribute hybrid defensive mod could spawn on lower-tier Sacrificial Garbs.
-Fixed some cases where atypically few or many Strongboxes could spawn in some areas.
-Fixed two more instance crashes.[/quote]

Power charge on crit? where is it?
Also, this takes 100 points, maybe I should remove some critical nodes.
Changed it around a bit, still feel the crit chance is an overkill

You're not missing out on much, the vaal gems are very slightly improved versions of normal gems but you can use them only 2-4 times per area because you need to farm souls to use them. Waste of sockets in my opinion.

vaal spark & vaal power siphon are op
Why can't I dual wield shields? Aegis Aurora-Prism Guardian combo would be awesome on a dual totem block templar. With like 10 auras ofc.
Also this game should have crossbows and javelins. And CGI cutscenes would be nice.

Dual Shields has been suggested multiple times but iirc GGG stated they didn't want to go that direction.
Crossbows & Javelins might become reality, every 4 months there are big updates and Sacrifice of the Vaal brought several new base item types so it's certainly possible.
Imagine unique gauntlets that would allow dualwielding shields (or at least using one of them) as weapons
Deals physical damage based on item level + blockrate, elemental damage based on armor/evasion/energy shield
Could be pretty kickass
Also these are the possible uniques that drop from Uber Atziri

Those gloves man, those gloves...
Nobody has actually found one of these items yet, and Chris himself said that very little will enter the economy because it's such a huge hassle to get them.
You need to get all 4 Atziri fragments and kill Atziri, when she dies she has a [B]chance[/B] to drop one of the Uber fragments which you also need 4 of to enter the harder version of the Apex of Sacrifice where you have to kill the harder version of Atziri :suicide:
So i haven't played for months and my points got reset on my 77 Templar, anyone know a nice build for me using staff atm?

Imagin dual shields and a skill gem that worked like castlevania symphoyn of the night shield rod: creating copies of your shields around you and damaging anything that comes close.
We got some new about the upcoming Cut-Throat Mode: [url]https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/829410[/url]
[quote="Chris"][B][U]The Plan for Cut-Throat Mode[/U][/B]
Cut-throat mode in Path of Exile is an optional league type that is reminiscent of really old-school online RPGs where players could kill each other and steal their items. We've been working hard on making this mode a permanent part of Path of Exile and we plan to involve the community heavily with feedback after test events of different durations. Today's news post details that plan.
We've experimented with cut-throat mode in the past and found that it's really polarising - some players absolutely love it and others hate the idea of being robbed of their items. We want to make it really clear that [U]it's an optional mode[/U] and you don't have to play it unless you love the idea of being stalked and killed repeatedly! Note that because it's a league type unto itself, you have to create new characters to play cut-throat - you don't use your existing ones for it.
This news post is mostly written for people who have played cut-throat before. We'll be following up with a more general introductory one before we start cut-throat events in the near future.
From the tests we've run in the past, we came to the following conclusions:
-Non-hardcore cut-throat is usually more fun than hardcore cut-throat. Grabbing your backup set of items and trying to hunt down your killer to get your stuff back is so much fun. While permadeath is cool, it prevents a lot of the recovery aspect of cut-throat.
-Preventing players from forming parties helps solve the roaming-death-squad problem while also opening up some awesome friendly fire situations. You have to really trust your friends if they could take advantage of your low health by firing a few well-placed fireballs and taking your gear.
-Cut-throat world areas could probably have much lower timeout times (i.e. close after only a few minutes of inactivity) so that there isn't a big list of empty areas when you try to select one that has people to fight.
-To help prevent the worst cases of griefing, we'll probably be introducing rules that prevent you entering areas that have low level players in them. While people with better items will always pose a major threat, you won't have to fight people substantially higher level than you.
-There may be merit to experimenting with changes like limiting people to certain difficulty levels, effectively moving the end-game down to lower levels and encouraging players to stalk those who are trying to grind for experience.
The above list of notes are just what we've determined from the events that we've run and participated in. You guys probably have different opinions, and we'd love to hear them as we iterate on these together. Our goal is to make rapid changes to cut-throat over the coming months and to find the right mix of danger and fun. After each event, let us know what you think and we'll try to change stuff up in the next patch or hotfix.
We're expecting to run some shorter duration events next week (2 hour, 4 hour, 8 hour, for example) and to experiment with longer ones (1 day, 3 day, one week) as we get feedback. Eventually we'd love to run multi-week (or even multi-month) cut-throat leagues if people like that duration![/quote]

Alright, so I really need some help. I have a level 65 duelist who Dual Weilds swords, and I get DESTROYED by everything in A3 Merc.

I would love if one of you kind folk could help me get my ass in gear, because I love this game but the difficulty is making it hard to play and enjoy. Thanks!

More teasers, new microtransactions and the first Ambush Atziri kill:
[quote="Chris"]Another new Vaal gem in content update 1.1.1 is the Vaal Summon Skeletons skill. Here's a [url=http://webcdn.pathofexile.com/public/chris/vaal_skeletons.jpg]teaser screenshot[/url] showing what was spawned with one use of the skill. There are also two new cosmetic microtransactions in 1.1.1: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vAI0UNO9zE]Arctic Ice Nova Skill Effect[/url] and
[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJjO9T800bg]Guardian Mask Helmet Skin[/url].
Our first Ambush Atziri kill occurred today, just over a week into the new challenge leagues! The user who got the kill, Mathil, [url=https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/831603]posted his gear[/url]. As you can see, it relies more on character build and playskill than on mirror-worthy items. Mathil will win one of the 50 special Vaal-themed microtransactions set aside for the first people to kill Atziri and her guardians in Ambush. There are also 50 for players in Invasion. The artists are almost finished with that microtransaction - it's just missing its blood effect. Here's a [url=http://webcdn.pathofexile.com/public/chris/VaalMTX.jpg]work-in-progress picture[/url]. Note that we're not selling this one - it's only available to the first people who complete this challenge.
Just a quick reminder - ten of our developers will be in San Francisco next week for GDC. If you're around on Sunday March 16th and want to meet up, we'll be hosting a fan meetup in the mid afternoon. Email me at [email]chris@grindinggear.com[/email] if you'd like to receive details once they're finalised.
[B]There will be a surprise tomorrow.[/B][/quote]

Wow that Exclusive Atziri microtransaction looks really cool
Arctic Ice Nova is as generic as it can be, and that Guardian Mask is barely noticable.

What league? If it's standard I could probably gear you up
Add me: MrFlashcat
I'm having a super hard time with this game.
I've been playing it on and off since closed beta, but I really started playing here about a month ago. I went through a couple of characters, but couldn't find a build that worked. I had a Lightning Strike marauder, which didn't work at all. I respecc'd him to Ground Slam, which worked okay, but it was still very meh.
With the new expansion, I got another full respec for my Marauder. I decided to try an odd build, something of a Cyclone Discharger. While the damage output is pretty fantastic, I just instantly keel over every time I get hit with elemental damage or when I get hit by a ranged attack.
The build requires me to use some gear (a 5L or 6L Voll's Protector, among other things) that really holds me back a bit. I feel like if I could find a good shield, gloves, belt, and rings, I could do pretty decent. But I can't find that stuff, because I can't farm anywhere decent. I can do Merciless Ledge pretty well, but that Unique Totem kills me very quickly.
I want to play this game, but I'm so goddamn stuck. Can't get good gear because I can't kill stuff very well. I can't kill stuff very well because I don't have good gear.
I can't even farm the docks. Just the Ledge. It's sad.

You shouldn't make a character with high gear requirements if you don't have the currency to support it. I'd suggest re-rolling a new character.

Kuduku is the easiest unique in the game, just don't get too close until you've cleared the mobs around it, then smack it with ranged attacks
Life on hit marauder with an AoE skill like Lightning Strike, Cleave, or Ground Slam has worked really well for me thus far, just keep maxed resistances (which is so easy with his new resistances at the start) and grab health often to not get one-shot and you're fine. Going blood magic as well and between natural regen, life on hit, and life leech lightning strike gives me so much regen.
