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

What is the change about crafting modifiers about?

From a first glance it seems like a huger nerf to mid/low tier crating, can we get some clarification on this?

"

Does this mean crafted outcomes from essence isn't a range, but just a static amount?

Overall i get why this change was made. When you got to around 200 div you could just buy a top end 800+dps weapon and call it a day, so many on the market. This change doesn't seem to effect early or mid endgame since those were not crafted anyway (outside of cheap self craft), but does make late endgame way more expensive. Overall bringing the curve way down. Feels like a good thing.

this drastically affects early to mid game for average players. you will be entering maps with literally 40-50% less damage. now you will be stuck doing content 5xs slower than before while the players who can afford to omen craft buy the entire market and create a monopoly.

that always happened to some degree, (them buying all omens) but at least you could make yourself an item before. now you will have to very slowly grind your own stock of omens and hundreds/thousands of chaos orbs to be able to make a weapon of equal power

I didn't like the essence changes myself but I love seeing doomers cry, gj GGG :D

Great changes so far!
Keep up the good work GGG, cant wait to get my hands on 0.5.0 league.

Onely a single instance of leech between life, mana and ES is the dumbest shit ever... WTF...
when iam a warrior melee and got some life leech and mana to sustain my dps.
and then i obviously take dmg because iam melee. but i am leeching mana because i am attacking. then i can't leech life!???! thats just awesome HAHAHA! xD

More i think about the essence change the better it feels. The impact it has to non-weapon crafting is minimal and game is already easy when you can craft 5-6 good affix weapons easily with base + essence + p.essence + desecrate.

Big nerf for SSF players, but overall good nerf for the game.

When socketed in Gloves, it now grants Your Energy Shield Recharge starts when your Minions are Reformed (previously Each Runic Inscription from your Curse Skills causes you to Regenerate Mana per second equal to 10% of that Skill's Mana Cost)

Next time shut your damn mouth stupid Youtuber !!!

All crafted modifiers are now guaranteed, but items can only have 1 crafted modifier at a time. Desecrated modifiers no longer count as crafted modifiers, but items are limited to 1 Desecrated modifier.

How exactly are we supposed to play SSF?

I really hope this isn’t true, because it basically forces everyone into playing trade, or not playing at all. Without deterministic crafting, playing any sort of endgame in SSF might as well be impossible.

I think you've misunderstood its one instance of EACH, so Life and mana can each have 1 instance.

That's not what patch note says. you can still leech mana and health you cant leech health from 2 different sources at the same time. same for mana. only highest value applies
