Content Update 0.3.0 — Path of Exile 2: The Third Edict

Man, I'd really like to know why GGG is keep buffing deadeye if it is already the best ascendancy right now? I mean the extra frenzy charge generation is not a buff, but that is nothing. The whole ascendancy otherwise is just busted and now people don't need acrobatics and can have like 95% evasion without struggling even a bit and prolly being able to get 100% deflect as easily.

What is that?

where is passive skill tree?
Buffed - imagination
nerfed - good starter choice chance.

Yeah need that tree like 12 hours ago. >.>

it will be cool to stand for 3 hours in front of the Hilok looking at the tree to realize that the chosen class is weak and create a new character.

If you just want to be strong, go deadeye... It is already OP, but with the current changes... Holy moly. :,D

The Evasion formula has been adjusted to lower the percentage of hits that will be evaded by a given amount of evasion.

I dont understand is this a buff or a nerf to evasion??

nerf

Either learn to read of don't run from your brain...

I am fairy new Poe2 player and the way I read it like him sounded like a nerf...

Maybe you care to elaborate more this change.

Evasion now works against all hits except red boss attacks. So the equivalent evasion rating character will have a lower chance to evade, but will simultaneously be able to evade a larger range of attacks.

It's essentially giving evasion acrobatics that has a much lower evasion penalty. The only real caveat is that it doesnt evade ALL hits like acrobatics did.

Actually it's a buff.
Before you had only 75% chance to evade attacks, not spells. (and that made evasion useless)
Now you have for about 50% chance to evade, AND 55% chance to deflect (prevent 40% dmg) but for ALL hits. So it looks like + supress from evasion.
Also there are a lot of things to add MORE to evasion and + to Deflection rating, and especially blind on target.

PoE1 veteran here about to play PoE2 for first time.

Pray for me.

Another League...
Another busted build that 99% of the 'player base' will be playing!

Thank you GGG for the diversity.

Bring WASD to PoE 1.

I think it is good that you try to make it right, but please not with wrong informations, we always were able to evade spells as much as attacks, otherwise any evasion build wouldn't even set 1 foot in a map.

"Other mechanics

When defending against monster hits, there is no distinction between attacks and spells and will apply to any attack from enemies except boss attacks with a red flash."

But we weren't able to evade AoEs unless we took acrobatics, which is now a base passive of all characters form level 1 onwards. We prolly need a lil bit more evasion to get to the same amounts as before without acrobatics,... but we need less to have the same evasion as with acrobatics.

Mark and Jonathan, waiting for ur stream of gameplay this coolest game for melee str character. It would really great, if main devs decided right in their actions to make this melee like in diablo2 similar, and to show how it is cool..
