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

twister meta! go! go!

If there is any warrior quick buff we can get, please reduce the duration on earthquake so it doesn't feel as bad to level with. Us only warrior players need something to keep us happy. Might just play mercenary for leaguestart. Just want minor buffs so I can keep playing slams like I do in poe 1.

Remember to fix ELEMENTAL STORM & FIRESTORM not having [STORM] Tag.

Shield Wall: Now deals 5 to 7 Added Physical Damage per 15 Armour on Shield (previously 6 to 8).

Resonating Shield: Now deals 5 to 7 Added Physical Damage per 15 Armour on Shield (previously 6 to 8).

The amount of Armour granted by items and modifiers has been increased as you get to higher levels. At level 65, you should have approximately 33% more Armour, tapering down to 15% at level 80+.

this will cancel each other out so I don't think its a big nerf to skill damage itself.

Fortifying Cry: Now only consumes one stack when you detonate a shield wall to create a shockwave around each shield wall segment. Fortifying Cry Shockwaves from a single Shield Wall cannot hit the same enemy multiple times. Shield Wave now deals 5 to 7 Added Physical Damage per 15 Armour on Shield (previously 6 to 8).

this one I think it's true nerf that actually hammered pure shield wall build.

but perhaps hybrid shield wall build that not using Fortifying Cry may survive... just maybe :/

Can someone explain the corrupted blood changes? I am too stupid to understand them.
I was looking forward to playing the 0.01% used corrupted warbringer, are the patch notes now a nerf or a buff or change it completely ...

from my understanding IF

the triggered skill has an internal cooldown wouldn't this instantly kill the build... o_o

I guess ice shot bow still playable for league start

Where's the group nerf from cn?

Are ingame build planner and price checker available for the consoles? GGG make a clear statement at last!!!

Why is everyone acting like their existing build was nerfed? This is a new league where you start a new character. Enjoy the process of figuring out what is good in the new meta, that's literally what makes fresh starts fun in this game

You mean streamers do that while 95% of the people just copycat it because they can't come up with anything on their own.

Some people do work for a living. Not everyone is silver spoon entitled.

You guys dont introduce or improve other otpions but keep nerfing melee .... You dont introduce swords or axes, but nerf fortifying cry ? Since release of the game the warrior skills and interaction are being nerfed ... you nerf skills by 50% and buff other skills by 15% who and why does this ?

I like to play warrior ... but you guys making it no fun, guess i just wait till release and see if you are able to do better or i park it for good.

Good luck
