The Blight Challenge League

• Challenge leagues are a great opportunity for a fresh start in a new economy. All of your old characters and items are still present in the Standard and Hardcore leagues, but you're encouraged to join the new leagues, complete challenges and demonstrate your mastery of Path of Exile!
• In the Blight League, strange fungal growths have begun appearing across Wraeclast, infecting those who come in contact with them, and wresting control of their minds. Sister Cassia, a new NPC, is trying to put a stop to this spreading infection, but she needs your help.
• Cassia can build towers that spit flames, call down lightning strikes, chill enemies to the bone, and more, at your discretion. You'll need these powerful towers to push back the waves of mind-controlled monsters that lurch towards the fungal core. Successfully hold back the monsters, and you'll be rewarded with a wealth of items.
• Among the loot dropped by the Blight, you'll find Oils, a new type of item. With two Oils, Cassia can Anoint rings with powerful tower-boosting effects. With three, she can Anoint your amulet with one of the Notable Passives from the Passive Skill Tree, opening up incredibly powerful new build possibilities!
• Later on, you may discover Blighted Maps -- Maps so deeply infected by the Blight that all the ordinary monsters have fallen under its sway. These endgame Blight encounters will put your tactical tower-building skills to the test.
• With 3.8.0, there are Standard, Hardcore and Solo Self-Found variations of the Blight challenge league available. They have the same core mechanics and items. You can create private league versions of these leagues, with mods that make the game harder.
• The new challenge leagues include a set of 40 new challenges. When you complete 12 challenges, you will receive the Blight Helmet. When you reach 24 challenges, you will receive the Blight Portal effect. At 36 challenge completed you'll receive the Blight Wings. These microtransactions are only obtainable in this league.
• From the 19th challenge onwards and for every third challenge after that, you will receive pieces of the Blight Totem Pole decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Blight challenges you completed during the league.

Console Specific

• Added the ability to report user messages on the tradeboard.
• Added an information tooltip to the tradeboard filter.

• Added the 'pan' function to the tradeboard categories. This allows you to jump to the top or bottom of your current category.
• Refined animation canceling behaviour of Lacerate, Double Strike and Multistrike.
• The functionality of 'Use Max Distance' on movement skills is now tied to a specific skill button, rather than global to all bound buttons of a skill.
• Players now stop moving as soon as the thumbstick is released.
• Improved D-pad navigation within the cosmetic tab.

Major New Content and Features

• Added a new Dexterity Skill Gem - Plague Bearer: Gain a buff that stores the damage of Poisons you apply. Using the skill again unleashes the stored damage, dealing chaos damage over time in an area around you. Your damage modifiers don't apply to this chaos damage over time.
• Added a new Dexterity/Intelligence Skill Gem - Withering Step: Gain Phasing and Elusive, a buff that gives you a decaying movement speed bonus (replacing any other instances of Elusive on you), while applying Wither to nearby enemies when you move within range. Performing any skill removes Phasing and Elusive. Shares a cooldown with other Blink skills.
• Added a new Dexterity/Intelligence Skill Gem - Cobra Lash: Hurl a poisonous projectile that chains between enemies. Requires a dagger or claw.
• Added a new Dexterity/Intelligence Skill Gem - Pestilent Strike: Strike an enemy, poisoning them and applying a short duration debuff. If the target dies while they have the debuff, the total remaining poison damage is spread to targets in an area around the slain enemy, dealing damage over a short time. Requires a dagger or claw.
• Added a new Dexterity/Intelligence Skill Gem - Venom Gyre: Hurl a poisonous projectile that will return to you. Catch and store projectiles that return to you, up to a limit. When you use Whirling Blades, release any stored projectiles. Projectiles released by Whirling Blades are fired in a spiral and can't return. Requires a dagger or claw.
• Added a new Intelligence Skill Gem - Summon Carrion Golem: Summon a Carrion Golem that adds physical damage to your non-golem minions while active. The golem uses a series of slashes that increase in damage, and can conjure up a cascade of bone spikes. The Carrion Golem deals more damage for each of your non-golem minions near it.
• Added a new Intelligence/Dexterity Skill Gem - Stormblast Mine: Has an aura while placed which causes nearby enemies to take increased damage, stacking up to a maximum of 150% increased damage taken. Deals lightning damage in an area when detonated.
• Added a new Intelligence/Dexterity Skill Gem - Summon Skitterbots: Summons two constructs that will detonate and trigger your traps and mines, as well as providing bonus trap and mine damage. One has an aura that shocks nearby enemies, while the other has an aura that chills nearby enemies.
• Added a new Dexterity/Intelligence Support Gem - Swift Assembly Support: Gives supported trap and mine skills three separate chances to throw additional traps or mines, for a maximum of up to six additional traps or mines thrown.
• Added a new Dexterity/Intelligence Support Gem - Nightblade Support: Causes supported attack skills to grant Elusive on critical strike, and causes those skills to deal more critical strike damage, and deal critical strikes more frequently, while you have Elusive. Only usable with claws and daggers.
• Added a new Intelligence Support Gem - Meat Shield Support: Causes minions from supported skills to have a chance to taunt on hit, take less damage, and act more defensively. Minions from supported skills will also deal more damage to enemies that are near you.
• Added a new Intelligence Support Gem - Deathmark Support: Grants the Deathmark skill, which causes any minions from supported skills to focus their attention on the deathmarked enemy. Minions from supported skills also deal more damage, and even more damage to the deathmarked enemy.
• Added a new Intelligence Support Gem - Feeding Frenzy Support: Minions from supported skills act more aggressively and have a chance to grant the Feeding Frenzy buff to you on hit. While you have this buff, all your minions deal more damage and have increased attack, cast and movement speed.
• Added a new Intelligence/Strength Support Gem - Infernal Legion Support: Minions from supported skills deal fire damage over time in an area around them and take fire damage based on their maximum life.
• Added a new Intelligence/Dexterity Support Gem - High-Impact Mine Support: Can only support spells, or attacks that use a bow or wand. Instead of using the supported skills, you will throw a mine that uses that skill when detonated. Mines cannot use Channelling skills. Thrown mines have a stacking aura that causes nearby enemies to have a chance to take double damage with hits.
• Added a new Intelligence/Dexterity Support Gem - Charged Mines: Supported skills which throw mines have increased mine throwing speed per frenzy charge and increased critical strike chance per power charge. Supported skills also grant a chance to gain a frenzy or power charge when it is detonated while targeting an enemy.
• Added 16 new Unique Items.
• Added 19 new Divination Cards, designed by our Supporters.
• Added a new Wand base type for high-level Summoner characters, available in the Atlas.

• Significantly rebalanced and reworked Mines, the Summoner character archetype, and the Poison Assassin character archetype.
• Improved the Atlas Mission system (see below).

Minor New Content and Features

• Updated the art of all flask basetypes. No art is reused for different flask tiers anymore! Existing flasks will retain the old art for now.
• Added new mods that can appear on flasks, including some that appear specifically on Mana flasks.
• Added more audio cues for various events, including (but not limited to) confirming or cancelling a trade, failing to identify an item due to a lack of scrolls, and fully clearing the Fetid Pools.
• Added more Labyrinth enchantments for new skills, as well as on boots.
• Added two new Grandmasters to the pool of Grandmasters.
• Shield Charge now uses your equipped shield, including any cosmetics applied to it, for its effect, with the exception of the "Focus" shields (pure Intelligence base types).
• You can now use up to two Helmet Attachment cosmetic effects at once.
• The visual effect of Shatter now scales better based on the size of the shattered enemy.
• Improved the voice and sound transitions between creating a new character and logging out to the menu or character selection.
• Continued to incrementally improve the sound, art, effects and environments.

Atlas Mission Changes

• The way daily Atlas Missions are handled has been reworked.
• Once you have unlocked the Atlas, you will now earn one Atlas Missions for each Master per day. These are not assigned to a specific map, but are assigned to a specific map tier-colour (white, yellow or red). You must log into your account to receive these missions.
• These missions are accumulated and tracked on the right side of the Atlas panel.
• More Missions can be earned by completing maps. Each time you complete a map (typically by killing the map boss), you'll have a chance to earn an Atlas Mission. The chance to earn Missions this way has been significantly raised.
• You'll encounter random Masters in maps less frequently, with this chance moved to the map-completion mechanic.
• To use accumulated Atlas Missions, simply talk to the associated Master in your Hideout, select the Atlas Mission option, and place the map you wish to do the mission on in the Map Device screen that opens up. You can add a Zana map modifier from this screen if you wish.
• There's no limit to the number of Atlas Missions that can accumulate, so there's no pressure to run the missions as you get them. Run them at your own pace!
• Your Atlas Missions are now tracked on the quest tracker as soon as you enter the map.

Legion Mechanics Added to the Core Game

• As a new possible Incursion room, with each tier increasing the potential value of the Legion encounter in the eventual Temple of Atzoatl.
• As a rare Delve encounter.
• As a random encounter within the Atlas (10% chance in each Map).
• In addition to the above ways of encountering Legion monoliths, you can now find Legion uniques in chests that award league-restricted items.
• Vagan now awards various Legion-related items in Betrayal Safehouses. In Transportation Safehouses he awards Legion Splinters. In Research he awards Incubators. In Intervention he awards Legion Scarabs. In Fortification he awards a set of chests that can be found in Legion encounters.
• Unique items that can be found exclusively from Legion encounters as of 3.7.0 can still only be found from Legion encounters and the related reward sources above.

Changes to Legion Mechanics

• Item rewards within the Domain of Timeless Conflict now diminish over time. Experience does not change.
• Item reward variance from Domain of Timeless Conflict encounters of differing numbers of Emblems has been flattened. You'll now receive approximately the same quantity of items per Emblem used in 2-Emblem encounters as in 5-Emblem encounters.
• Time-frozen Legion monsters who are afflicted by a proliferating Ignite, and similar lingering effects, will no longer remove that Ignite upon being broken out.
• A wider variety of rewards can now be found in some Incubators.

Summoner Rebalance

• We've done a sweeping balance pass of everything related to traditional summoner gameplay, and in most cases, provided substantial buffs or added new features to help summoners keep up with other playstyles. While many of these changes touch upon specific items or skills, there were a few broad changes.
• Many sources of additional maximum minions have been moved to the skill gem, making summoners less reliant on specific unique items. Most minion gems now grant additional minions as the gem levels up.
• All minions have received substantial increases to their base accuracy, and are much more likely to hit monsters.
• We've added and improved many minion passive skills on the passive skill tree.
• We've also added many new skills to help summoners control and manage their minion army (see above!).
• There have been many, many more changes to unique and rare items, essences, skills and supports with summoners in mind. You'll find those changes outlined in their various sections below.

Mine Rebalance

• In this patch, we've reworked Mines from the ground-up (pun only slightly intended). The goal of this rework was to make them feel less clunky to use while still keeping them mechanically distinct from Traps.
• Mines are now thrown, rather than placed. Modifiers that previously affected your mine placement speed now instead affect your mine throwing speed.
• The first mine you detonate will detonate instantly.
• When detonating multiple mines, they are detonated in an accelerating sequence based on distance from your initial detonation target.
• All mine skills, except those supported by Blastchain Mine Support, now have an aura component that is active while they are placed but not detonated. These auras can stack (up to a limit), and are affected by aura modifiers.
• Each mine you throw now reserves a flat amount of mana based on the cost of the skill (and therefore affected by Support gems).
• Fire Nova Mine, Freeze Mine, Remote Mine Support and Minefield Support have all been significantly reworked. Their changes are outlined in the Skill Gem Reworks and Support Gem Reworks sections.
• We've added and rebalanced sections of the passive skill tree to support the new Mine gameplay.

Mana Rebalance

• We have taken a broad look at the state of Mana in Path of Exile, and rebalanced a lot of elements, with the goal of closing the gap between characters with a little investment in Mana and characters that are almost singularly invested in Mana.
• We've also removed (from temporary leagues, at least) the last vestiges of Mana leech available to spellcasters. We want Mana to be the caster equivalent of Accuracy -- something for which a little investment goes a long way to solving the 'feel' of your character.
• We've rebalanced Mana Flasks game-wide, provided more and greater sources of mana on many items, and rebalanced many sources of increased mana on the passive tree. Check the various sections below to see what has changed!

Character Balance

• Sources of "Non-Ailment Damage over Time Multiplier" of all damage types have been replaced by Damage over Time Multipliers that also affect damage from Ailments. This has resulted in changes to some values on items and the passive skill tree, which have been outlined in their respective sections below.
• Added a new type of modifier which grants additional levels to all gems of certain types, as opposed to only gems socketed within specific items. If you have one such source (in a weapon, for example), then all gems that fit the type, regardless of where they are socketed (such as in your body armour), will benefit. These modifiers are primarily found on caster and summoner items, and several unique items (which are outlined farther down).
• You can now have up to 15 mines active at once by default (from 5).
• All instances of Mine Laying Speed are now Mine Throwing Speed.

• All existing Fire Nova Mine skill gems are now Pyroclast Mine skill gems. Be aware that existing characters which had Fire Nova Mine may now have certain item slots disabled as a result of the change to level and attribute requirements. This can be remedied by removing the socketed Pyroclast Mine gem.

Skill Balance

• All Aura skills you cast (Wrath, Hatred, etc) now have a base radius of 40 (from 36) to compensate for changes to Aura Radius on the Passive Skill Tree. Likewise, the radius of Flesh and Stone now has a base radius of 28 (from 24), War Banner and Dread Banner now have a radius of 46 (from 40), and all Aura gem qualities that increased the Aura's radius now increase it by twice the amount (from 2% to 4% per 1% quality).

• You'll now appear in your Hideout (rather than Town) if you die to the Elder or one of its Guardians.
• The Beast of the Pits (Barrows map boss) now moves more quickly during its charge attack, but can use the attack less frequently. Its base attack speed has been reduced, and its damage increased.
• Piety boss encounters in which she transforms into her Fire Form have also benefitted from increased attack range and AI tweaks.
• Breachlords now have more appropriate life values for their higher-level variants (such as those from Pure Breachstones). Chayula in particular has significantly higher life in special versions of his Breach Domain (such as the Pure version).
• Breach Domains now have higher monster density, and the monsters contained within have more base life. The map modifier which granted more life to these monsters has been removed. The rate at which monsters are revealed has been sped up, and you'll have more time at the start of the encounter.
• The bosses of the Lair and Dark Forest maps will now spend more time in their Human form between transformations into Wolf form.
• Defeated Syndicate members, Shrines, hidden monsters such as Devourers and other things will no longer lure out Shaper phantoms.
