Path of Exile

Kind of a weird projection for the league but... lol

If minions were effected by that belt, Baron zombies might actually be a thing again.

Still looks like stat stackers are on the menu.

Berserker str stacker definitely looking meaty.

Go go gadget cyclone, better?

I remember baron zombies was popular in the very first league I played, would be curious to try that one out if it works.

Cyclone hasn't been a viable primary damage skill in quite a while. There was a brief window before the major gem nerfs that it was still pretty good, but after those the damage just isn't there.

Especially now if you ever want to do ubers cyclone is just not a thing.

Melee is so dumb. It only works if you can kill in seconds because otherwise you get like 1/10 of your pob dps while a ranged class might have 1/2 because of avoiding mechanics.

It got absolutely savaged in the gem nerf patch, along with a bunch of the nodes on the tree and master of metal etc.

Phys impale DPS in general was only barely good enough before that - it was definitely one of the victims of that patch lowering the floor so much that it just feels awful to try and play.

That happened alongside the buff to monster armor didn't it? When they added "Chance to overwhelm 10% of armor" or whatever its called.

RIP my perforate builds iirc during the great gem crunch. I seem to recall those becoming untenable in the newer game. But last I played was the Eater of Worlds/Searing Exarch intro.

Perforate has QoL issues that impale can't fix. You want "attack without moving" enabled for clear but disabled for single target.

If you can fix that, it's probably the best Hiltless skill since its clear isn't ass like molten strike. Though, that's getting indirectly nerfed too.

Yeah. A shame it’s my favorite melee skill.

in case anyone forgot/missed it...3.19 reveal in just under 1 hour

Really good announcements. Lotta nice QoL. New skills were underwhelming. Everyone can now blast Harvest without stopping. Trickster fucks. The supporter packs actually looked amazing, the exploding death thing especially unless you're playing Hardcore.

Lightning strike finally gets the MS nerf after dodging it for several leagues. All hail our new helix overlords I guess.

Trickster looks sick.

So the twitch streams ive watched seem to think it's not what you think...There was an actual bug where it could hit thrice and thats what threy fixed but 1 melee from extra strike +1 proj from you should still work...but prob no way to know for sure

If you have minus life does that affect CI?
