I looked at the new tree...

Where is the new tree ?

on reddit ofc, where else?

Vaal pact is moving next to bezerking if this tree is correct. Which means it is more accesible for everyone. Which is good it is now a mele and everyone else node and not just CI with ghost reaver. I'm really liking Marauder start too.

will new leagues contain old quiver uniques (blackgleam/broadstroke) or they are also removed along with their normal/magic/rare versions ?

Since people tend to grab Iron Reflexes in almost every build, it is NOT a better placement. rather some indirect nerf to IR for melee life, and a direct nerf to VP for CI builds.

With the changes to over all life leach. I'm thinking allot more builds are going to work it in.

Update (March 4) - added the following notes:

<snip>
• Monster Unrighteous Fire now deals a controlled value of fire damage, rather than being based on maximum life.

So you've basically wrecked Burned Miscreations like you did to the Shaggy Monstrosity?

Looks like it's time for me to find another game if so.

They were OP as fuck, and you saying that without them you won't even play proves my point.

What point was that you had? "OP" is an opinion. Allow me to explain my point of view, since you have thus far lacked elaboration:

Background: I've been a summoner since Diablo II 1.09d. Over 10 years ago. I quit when they wrecked my build with their 1.10 patch. Here, I was running BMs since before they got buffed by the now-infamous "DoT patch". I was running them in the Anarchy league. I like to play as a summoner, because it's kick-back, casual, and I tend to kill mice with my huge mitts as it is, I don't need a fucking clickfest that melee or ranged builds require. Also, summoning tends to be an inexpensive build in PoE unless you decide to be an elitist. I've seen both sides of the proverbial coin on that score.

I love summoners. My summoner is my pride and joy. I run a summoners-only guild. I run high level maps, and I alch almost every 73+ map I run and every 75+. My so-called "OP" BMs have been wiped out many times in maps - before and after the Offering gems - by mobs that would make most builds' balls tuck up. There's plenty of challenge there - I don't need anything fucking up my farming routine in maps - and this "nerf" to valuable members of my team will likely do just that.

Burned Miscreations are very fragile, snapshotting or no. Maybe on n00bfarming bullshit like doing Piety or Dominus runs they could be considered "OP", but try running them on any map with chaining, multiproj, shocking ground mods - even with the best 20/20 gems on 6L. Try that again on 75+ maps. Run 76 Crematorium with L77 map BMs and see how long they live under Magaera's firestorm. Try it with dual boss. There are a ton of map mods and mobs that spawn within those maps that can wreck your leveling progress real quicklike.

lukeiy I've seen your profile, and your best character is a L80 shadow. In my humble opinion you aint done _shit_. I'm almost L93 and I bust my ass for what little I got, same as many people on here - maybe even you. For you to arbitrarily condescend to me with your comparatively no-dick bullshit makes me laugh and only justifies why I could leave this game - like I did Diablo II - and not regret it should I do so. No sir, you have proved _my_ point. It's the fucking no-challenge whiners that group up and say "oh this is ruining PoE plz nerf kk" but yet haven't even challenged themselves in this game and lobby for nerfs that are ruining this ridiculous gamblefest.

TL;DR: Anyone who says BMs are OP hasn't challenged themself enough. Anyone who says otherwise, is IMHO, full of shit. Grow some balls and use some alchemy orbs.

>>>Vaal Pact no longer suppresses life recovery from flasks. It still prevents life regeneration and now also reduces your leech by 60%.


CI build is dead, i believe!


also crit multiplier is reduced? hope this will not work in old uniques.

^ Not as eloquent as I'd word it, but yea BM's definitely strong at lower content - but by all means not to be considered "OP".

Whoa!!! New Skill Tree looks Great! A TON of buffed nodes.... Check it out! (page 112 here at the bottom has the link) it's a Zip file btw.

Can you make Fork work with Arc please? that be great

So does this add another act?
