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

LOL love how the witch hunter still caught a nerf.

Dear devs, what did the Warrior do to you? The weakest class got nerfed, again and again. Wtf?

I initially wrote the following under dreamcore's video on the topic but you know what? I think GGG needs to hear this here:

The issue with armour and evasion wasn't energy shield's recharge rate, it was how THEY work. Evasion guarantees a hit that can kill you if you don't have enough life, armour or resistances or the enemy has enough accuracy. Armour doesn't work like either life, energy shield or resistances but like a shittier resistance tier that's dependent on the enemy's phys attack. Energy shield is just a second life bar. Elemental resistances are just percentage less damage taken and neither becomes LESS effective as the enemy get's stronger. The enemy needs "+penetrate x% of elemental resistance" to do more damage to you with resistances. But if an enemy has more phy damage... your armour gets LESS effective. If a boss has more accuracy your evasion is LESS effective. The issue isn't ES being good, it's Armour and Evasion not being in the same category as ES and GGG insisting on the lie they are.

Best of luck everyone

Anyone knows what about price checking in game on console?

hope we drop a mirror this league, cant wait. <3 great work ggg

Great work! Very excited for this patch. Can't wait to try the Chronomancer again this patch!

There are a few bugs/issues I quickly want to mention here.

After fighting the and defeating the Trialmaster, the game lagged as The Adorned jewel spawned and crashed the game. Upon logging back in, I couldn't re-enter the instance to pick it up.

Would be nice to get that fixed as there doesn't seem to be a similar issue in Sekhemas (at least that I have experienced).

If you didn't die in the trials, you should have the opportunity to re-enter the trial.

Also it'd be nice if skill MTX could be equipped to triggered skills, like lightning bolt from Choir of the Storm.

Because he will be the most durable in the game, the armor buff on items and the strongest ES nerf should greatly improve the warrior's survivability among other classes.

ANCESTRAL SPIRITS STILL NOT FIXED

MORTAR CANNON STILL NOT FIXED

You're generally right, of course... but that's not the main problem; it's not normal for warriors to have the least health. A blood mage has almost twice as much health as any melee warrior and slightly less than three times as much as an archer. And yet, a blood mage still has an energy shield.
