Content Update 3.27.0 — Path of Exile: Keepers of the Flame

"

- The Abyss Scarab of Edifice no longer causes Abysses in Area to spawn Hoards as they travel. It instead now causes Abyss pits in Area that do not lead to an Abyssal Depths or spawn an Abyssal Trove will spawn Minor Stygian Spires.

What does this mean??? Why change it so drasticly.. was it that busted? I thought everybody ran Blight and Alva for insane loot..

"

- Cartography Scarab of Risk now has a limit of 1 (previously 5)

WHYYY???? 4x nerf??? Thats insane..

Very Good Changes but Suppres nerf can be painful. xDDD

Good Luck

Part 2 tomorrow?

what a joke

Very poor balance of skill gems/classes/ Base gear ES/HP rolls.

Was expecting more after no buffs in Mercenaries(only nerfs).

3 out of my 4 working build dead in a ditch, but yeah lets buff econc

on some maps abyss decided to pathfind very long trails so you got like 50 chests per trail

The QOL changes were insanely good, but the skill gem changes are so terrible. I want to stay positive here, but all I see is anther repeat of smite builds and pet builds this season.

This is a me issue, but I do NOT want to play either build and the skills I enjoy playing are still nerfed to all heck.

This is so disappointing after waiting months for this update. I am crushed. I wanted to take a week off of work too. I got double F'd.

Huh, not much changes tbh.

Risk meta is gone, tho 1 scarab giving +2 mods is still good value for a scarab slot
Abyss barrel farm gone
BAMA destroyed
FRoSS is still there, you just lose 300 ES from the amulet, that's it
Tricksters slightly nerfed but still very playable

No big item nerfs.

The biggest balance change is propably...just losing your merc.
Merc was insane utility. Haste aura for free, slow and crit immunity from garb of the ephemeral, added damage and resist pen from tyrant crown etc.

Not sure how strong those hands will be. Sounds similar to sanctified relic from Sanctum with added usable skill.

where are the mercs?! we need the mercs! twas the best feature in the last 5 years
