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

My 125 sniper skelly build survived the patch notes, cannot wait to play it in 0.5
"
Are ingame build planner and price checker available for the consoles? GGG, please make a clear statement!!!


if they did not specifically say "pc only", then it applies to all platforms. it should not be that hard to understand something this simple.
I would like them to explain better how Corrupting Cry gonna scale regarding the levels—since it could turn out to be a massive nerf to something that isn't bad, but is at best merely decent.

My guess is that instead of scaling from strength it now scales from skill gem level it is equipped into. Just opens up different kind of playstyles and not just strength stacking.

They did the same for "Decaying Hex" support gem which made your curses to cause damage over time effect on targets, but instead of having basicly zero scaling, now it starts to scale from skill gem levels instead. Sidenote --> vertex helmet got mega nerfed from 2-4 all skill levels to 3-5 curse skill levels, but it might be secretly good for decaying hex builds if it scales well with curse levels.

at first was concerned about lack of balance changes, after today's interview - chilling.

for people who didnt watch - major balance changes will be done in between 0.5 and 1.0 with economy resets.

Explanation why lack of balance changes exist now - they focused on adding content and just had not time to balance properly.

Overall satisfied with future of poe2.

Why the actual f*** I need to watch some f*****g interview for further information? Isn't that stupid? Why just not write this on the balance post?
