Early Access Patch Notes - Content Update 0.5.0 — Path of Exile 2: Return of the Ancients - Forum

Nice patch GGG, can't wait to log in! Please: - Buff Maximum Life - Buff Melee - Cap Chance to Deflect at 100% (It is a mitigation layer not an avoidance layer so I really don't understand why you want a 95% cap)	Posted by West#6263 on May 24, 2026, 1:51:47 AM Quote this Post
Surprised more people aren't talking about them removing shock conduction II from the game. This is an extreme nerf that is going to wipe out entire builds (including my own).	Posted by Berylstone#2209 on May 24, 2026, 2:53:38 AM Quote this Post

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. normally corrupting cry build will always leave warcry at low level because of mana issue (or life if blood magic). if it instead scaling on skill level of warcry gem it attached to, then you need to spam lv20+ seismic cry and burn down your resource super fast. I hope there will be workaround to fix this problem.	Posted by Deldalus111#7714 on May 24, 2026, 3:53:57 AM Quote this Post

I hope there will be workaround to fix this problem. It's not like Corrupting Cry is a game-changer nowadays—I mean, it's not bad, but it's certainly not excellent either. Perhaps a support gem or piece of gear is coming that will significantly boost its damage, bringing it back to par with its current state—or maybe even making it a little better. In any case, if the intent is to force you to consume more mana, then that constitutes a ugly nerf.	Posted by CosoMalvado#1418 on May 24, 2026, 7:29:17 AM Quote this Post
