Content Update 0.2.0 -- Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt

These patch notes make me so excited! Excited to see what is coming in Last Epoch update...

This is fucking absurd, Flameblast was already goddamn AWFUL compared to PoE 1 with its new forced target casting mechanic and genuinely bad animation, and now THIS?! A FIFTEEN SECOND COOLDOWN?! AND DMG NERF??????

I thought heavy stun was exclusive to monsters, how is this going to work on players? It's stated you can't be heavy stunned unless indicated otherwise, so is this currently exclusive to shields?

I think having no league specific content is going to split the community. Looking at these nerfs there's just not much of an incentive to start over and grind my way up only to end up with worse gear than I already have in my stash.

Looking forward to checking out the new content, but I'll be doing it from the old league.

gg, 99% nerfs, 1% bugfixes—killed 99% of fun builds. PoE1 took way longer to suck all the joy out of the game for me... Wasted 30 bucks, but at least saved a lot more.

This is a much needed list of changes that will help change the game into the best path for us. Looking forward to what is to be exlied next.

why not simply delete the Barrier Invocation if you again did the most stupid nerf? tell me whats your intended use of this meta skill and how the build of it should look like. i spent time to debug it for you [Removed by Support]

and i promise you, as long as you keep your head burried in the sand just like a ostrich, you will see overpowered meta skill main builds coming up again and again.

So, are we to interpret this as the Devs don't want us to have "Cast on ..." builds? Are they just supposed to be supportive mechanics?

I did not expect the entire patch to be full of nerfs for everything. What is actually buffed? This makes me sad.

This game is cooked.
