Content Update 0.5.0 — Path of Exile 2: Return of the Ancients

Staggering Palm Projectiles and Charged Staff Buff Stops Functioning After Shapeshift and cannot be re-used. SINCE 0.4

When using the Staggering Palm projectiles buff, shapeshifting into another form and then returning to human form causes the buff to stop functioning correctly. The buff icon and visual indicators still appear active after reverting to human form, but the projectile effect no longer works.

Steps to Reproduce:

Activate Staggering Palm projectiles buff.
Shapeshift into another form.
Revert back to human form.
Attack while the buff is still displayed as active.

Expected Result:
The Staggering Palm projectile effect should continue functioning normally after returning to human form.

Actual Result:
The buff remains visible/active, but the projectile effect no longer triggers until the buff is reapplied. Build is unplayable because of it.

Instead of letting us play around with all kinds of builds during the closed beta to actually help you test the game, you go and nerf skills that most people don't even know exist. Like totems , Fortifying Cry

so let's say about Totem, last league only 0.4% of players used them. And what does GGG do? Nerf them. Meanwhile, the skills that are crazy popular like all the bow builds, spear and Comet, you barely touch them.

Seriously, what's the logic here? It feels like you're punishing players for trying anything off-meta.
And then you complain that everyone plays the same builds. Well,
Then you wonder why everyone plays the same builds. This is why. Reward experimentation, don't punish it.

You do realize totems are buffed massively right? You are crying about a "nerf" to something that never existed? Maybe you don't know about fortifying cry, but those who do all understand why it is nerfed the way it is.

I think using the term "buffed massively" is out of context since you don't include how you came to this conclusion. As far as I can tell, totems got a QoL buff but that's about it.

Why would anyone want to play slow clunky Dark souls memes and experiment when there is option to be done with the forced campaign in under 5h?

I would. I am playing not for witnessing big explosions on a screen, but for exploring and tuning my own build of playstyle I enjoy. And you know since warrior on 0.1 I finished every league with all the activities. Since 0.3 I begin to play only semiSSF (privat league with 1-5 friends) because standart tooooo easy. Did I kill bosses in 2 sec? No. Did I finish maps in 3 mins? No. But every other more minute I spend was solely achived by myself and spend with a thing I like.
Hope some day Jonathan will freak out coz of you pathetic meta slaves and bring back his 0.1 anapologetic vision. Sad it never happens(

More interesting question for what reason u are being such meta dependent? U want more divs/mirrors then anybody? Why? U want uprades to kill boss in 2sec instead of 5? Why? What happens if u finish campaign in 12 hours instead of 5? The game will be same for rest of time. U ll be clicking few buttons and look at dying monsters with time to time upgrades. Thats it. Why 7 hours in campaign worse then 7 hours in endgame? Why are ur preferences controlled by people who playing this game for living? Questions questions questions.

Diabloid community is more toxic then any other in gaming. At least strangest.

people are still talking about spell totems? streamers have already figured out a new way since yesterday and updated their guides. if you cant make a build yourself then copy their build. dont just complain that spell totem is dead now because you dont know how to make the build

I am pretty sure you can find 150 spirit scepter (or just get 150 combined somewhere) and start blasting in act 2 with spell totems lmao.

what ever happened to grave-binds.

This would most likely get noticed by the right people in the bug reports section. Not buried in 140 ish pages of people either whining or laughing at the whining.

Well yes it's super easy there is a rune called "Rune of the Blossom" get a Unfolding Dawn Body Armour and you sit with both at around 130-140 spirit alone.

no one reads this but I just noticed decaying hex change and AM SUPER EXCITED!
