Content Update 3.16.0 -- Path of Exile: Scourge

Great notes, looks like it will be a good league

Some days I wonder if the Leaning Tower of Pizza was intentionally designed to be slanted.
Seeing these patch notes helps me understand that people don't always aim for balance.

Glade they released the patch notes, BUT, we REALLY need the skill tree for builds. This is going to be very difficult trying to make a build when we have no idea what the passive tree is going to look like with so many changes.

with gladiator max block ascendancy killed we really need the passive tree to see if the league is playable as a gladiator main.
i can't see the ascendancy at all playable in comparison to every other ascendancy anymore.

i was really happy when they mentioned "block chance is lucky" because then i was thinking that at the very least if i get 50% spell block in the tree i would still get back to 75% block.

but instead now we get 0% spell block or 60% spell block. while every other ascendancy in the game can still get 50% spell block easily too. it's like the whole ascendancy "provides" slightly more defense than a berserk and INSANELY less damage than a berserk.

it's like the ascendant can manage to get more defense and damage even AS a bleed character than a gladiator bleed character can.




this is the ascendancy identity. to be a block tank the same way jugg are endurance charges and Armour tanks. you can't give gladiator's identity to everyone and make gladiators ascendancy the weakest of them all in what it should be excelling at.

WHERE IS THE DMG BALANCE FOR ELEM MINIONS THAT LOST ELEMENTAL EQUILIBRIUM????????????????

U GUYS WANT TO FORCE PPL TO STOP DOING NECROMANCERS... WE CANT PLAY THE BUILD WE LIKE ANYMORE?

NOT EVEN GONNA COMMENT ON SYNDICAT OPERATIVES NERF...
U GUYS SHOULD BUFF OTHER MINIONS, NOT NERF THE ONLY ONE THAT IS WORTH

U GUYS FORGET THAT THE MINIONS AI IS CRAP...

THE CURRENT AGGRESSIVE MODE SHOULD BE THE BASE AI

so the F happened to what chris said that there wont be any nerfs this league??

Raider got sort of lowkey gutted. It was already struggling for identity and now it's just the spell suppression class lol.

The league looks interesting. There are also lots of objectively really good changes and generally just exciting stuff coming with this patch. However, I think I may pass this league. Not cause I think it'll be dog, or cause ''screw'' ggg or anything, rather I am kinda busy irl and I still feel that this patch is ultimately just another transitory step to what will eventually be the game I want to play.

Hope you guys enjoy 3.16, perhaps I'll be there in 3.17. Gl exiles :)

looks like it would be a fun league if they also balanced damage again.

but as long as the game plays the way it does, it's hard for me to imagine spending much time playing it.

The Skin of the Lords Unique Body Armour now grants “+2 to level of Socketed Gems” (previously +1). A Divine Orb would be able to update this on existing items, if they weren’t Corrupted already.

what the hell. skin of the lords are already corrupted
