[vivid parrot]

I think they should of done that first

[glass axle]

I mean it kinda worked, I'm hyped up and I'll watch the reveal

[formal sky]

you just know GGG got a hold of legal and said "THREATEN TO MAKE THE FRENCH REVOLUTION LOOK LIKE CHILD'S PLAY"

[lime python]

Nah this was planned, Jonathan behind the keyboard typing French rn

[marsh widget]

Man, I was really looking forward to the Monk stuff

[stoic urchin]

[quiet glen]

[grim nebula]

omelette du fromage?

[vivid parrot]

Wanted to know what the trading changes were

[stoic urchin]

[thorny blaze]

why is kami labs site white text on light grey? that's what I wanna know

[rough dagger]

Was it confirmed that there are any?

[wispy hull]

oui oui baguette

[gilded sonnet]

What's the French version of Electrocution, then? xd

[native bone]

I'm watching ghazzy stream and just realized the new support gem system will absolutely break minions lmao

[stoic urchin]

plasma blast deals more dmg to shocked target

[stoic urchin]

EXACTLY

[quiet glen]

consider using site translator

[grim nebula]

so they're probably nerfing plasma blasts damage when not hitting a shocked target

[stoic urchin]

shock and freeze last longer!!!!

[grim nebula]

'cus the thing already 1 shot bosses

[hazy quarry]

I tried using google translate but could not get past the cookie prompt

[stoic urchin]

oh thank you but i am a native french speaker, reason why i am keeping it in french is because some of the stuff does get mistreanslated xd

[vivid parrot]

Someone said here one of the upcoming articles was monk changes and trade system

[stoic urchin]

like shield charge no longer having a CD being mistranslated as it having a LONGER CD

[quiet glen]

i dont respect that

🙂

[rough dagger]

Aight

[stoic urchin]

i hate french but it's for the sake of being accurate xd

[frozen seal]

What why

[rough dagger]

Did the leaker mention anything about endgame or league mechanic?

[stoic urchin]

its the least i can do to contribute to this community

< 3

[karmic gulch]

Oh I'm doing minions too it seems

All fixed next patch

[autumn axle]

Wait, why are the leaks in french anyways isnr gamescon in Germany?

[stoic urchin]

[wispy hull]

[inner wedge]

Did the site crash lmao

[lime python]

You think we see any gamescom stuff?

[gilded sonnet]

It was from a press event, not Gamescom

[hazy quarry]

lol site is outright down now

they REALLY panicked

[autumn axle]

Probably taken down

[karmic gulch]

Du August 29 at 1 p.m. (PDT) until September 1 at 1 p.m. (PDT), all players will be able to dive into the dark and demanding universe of Path of Exile 2 for free. Good news:

[stoic urchin]

banner rework!, they last longer, dont require valor, and dont disappear when you leave area

[karmic gulch]

Big news i say

[stoic urchin]

now works with glory to make buffs much stronger

[terse saffron]

[glossy scroll]

idk 40%, thats alot of content for not even half.

[magic gale]

Where? Do you have any source?

[glossy scroll]

only thing maybe missing is the new class?

[magic gale]

Source?

[terse saffron]

no new class

[wispy hull]

you think you leak so much without getting the hammer?

[inner wedge]

I rather think too many ppl where on that site, and it crashed

[terse saffron]

[blazing violet]

TAKE IT DOOOOOWWWNNN

[stoic urchin]

the person who was posting the leaks said so

[magic gale]

where

[crimson portal]

it was just an estimate from the guy who was leaking on accident, just something he said casually

[keen copper]

Oh I 100% expected it LUL

[vivid parrot]

Don’t worry surely Druid and Templar now for 0.4

[crimson portal]

he said it in his discord if u really care

[stoic urchin]

give me a sec

[glossy scroll]

jonathon is going to be salty balls tomorrow

im hoping they made a massive patch, the game needs it.

[inner wedge]

Post it

[dense agate]

i think they prerecord most of the reveal anyway

[glossy scroll]

his Q and A with ziggy D is a recording?

[keen copper]

I dont expect a new trailer

[native bone]

I need Jonathan to post the middle finger meme of himself on poe Twitter account with caption "sorry no more leaks for now"

[vivid parrot]

“Reveal is cancelled u ruined it :(“

[inner wedge]

Lemme get Chatgpt real quick...

[dense agate]

[keen copper]

enormously AWESOME :3

[inner wedge]

Thanks babe

[keen copper]

Zwei... LOL

[marsh widget]

No, the leaks stopped before they were able to leak that

[quiet glen]

molten blast not moving you anymore is both good and bad

[keen copper]

We didnt get the monk stuff

theres a bunch more im sure

nothing about abyss

[inner wedge]

Let the french guy take his time, typing it down

[marsh widget]

The leaker wasn't able to get through all the base game stuff yet

[karmic gulch]

Monk huntress n Sorce was not yet leak right

[marsh widget]

All the stuff so far is on such a good path, can't wait to see the full reveal tomorrow

[karmic gulch]

All article has been Nuked

[marsh widget]

Yea GGG asked him to take it down

[quiet glen]

think he got shut down

[wispy hull]

He was sent into the shadow realm

[inner wedge]

by jonathan himself

[quiet glen]

shadow confirmed?

[marsh widget]

No, no new class was confirmed

[frail dew]

took inspiration from mtg and sent the ol' pinkertons

[karmic gulch]

no new class or nerf was leak

[pallid oriole]

what was that french channel ?

[karmic gulch]

even Bloodmage got buff

[native bone]

Sick warrior changes. I love the warcry changes especially ancestral cry.

[frail dew]

no nerf?

[dense agate]

ancestral looks sick for shield charge

[karmic gulch]

but my DEMONFORM with WEAPON effect

[frail dew]

they never announce that stuff lol

[thorny blaze]

kinda hope the lineage supports are chase items

[frail dew]

even reveal livestream never mentions nerfs, then patch notes is a massacre

always happens

[vivid parrot]

I’m imagining a hyped trailer with cinematics now for a nerf reveal

[glossy scroll]

sprinting seems legit

[gilded sonnet]

The aftereffects of Expedition

[karmic gulch]

idk my first real leak league patch note i just don't saw any nerf

[native bone]

Oh they will.

The rakiata one will be exclusive to her and drop chance 0.1% like awakened enlighten

I'm sure about that

[inner wedge]

Tangletongue disabled ingame
I want this line so bad

Addes Grim Feast back to the game

[frail dew]

[karmic gulch]

Endurance charge ? WTF death

[vivid parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/penguin-hide-you-didnt-see-anything-penguins-of-madagascar-gif-15123878

[wispy hull]

most likely bonus lawsuit

[glossy scroll]

dude dropped the leak while jonathon out shaking hands in germany, ww3 about to begin

[fleet rain]

there were also a couple of support gems for easier endurance charge generation shown

[inner wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-stomping-loonalslayz-never-lost-its-value-gif-25450074

[hazy quarry]

"easier"

[wispy hull]

There is no way they don't hit it with a lawsuit to make him pay

[karmic gulch]

it way worse then Totem now tho

[frail dew]

wild stat

[thorny blaze]

ohhh so we're not just getting sprint, we're getting a sprint attack?

[wispy hull]

Watch the corruption go higher than 17%

[dense agate]

its on tree too

[glossy scroll]

goog it goob

[thorny blaze]

she got the zoomies

[thorny blaze]

https://kami-labs.fr/path-of-exile-2-guides-builds-actualites/sprint-une-nouvelle-mecanique-pour-fluidifier-lexploration-poe2/

already there my friend

[dense agate]

it got removed

[native bone]

Isn't this all exceptional gems combined? Even has res multiplier reduction.

[inner wedge]

Look again, it got removed

[fleet rain]

yooo I hadn't see the cost reduction that's pretty solid

[thorny blaze]

oh the pages did? i'm glad I just pre-loaded them into new tabs immediately when it was posted

[glossy scroll]

i htought once its on the internet its there forever?

[frail dew]

it's weaker then any of them, but yeah

[dense agate]

download the pages for personal use

[native bone]

Bis for all minions too wtf

[dense agate]

i got a few of them

[covert sleet]

Anyone coping that they're keeping any new classes secret until tomorrow?

[fleet rain]

maybe for blasphemy curses too

[dense agate]

Minions have 100% accuracy now btw

[thorny blaze]

i opened all that I saw on their homepage, if someone wants a snip about something I'm more than happy to help

[glossy scroll]

if they did enough reworking hopefully all the classes feel new

[covert sleet]

Articles didn't mention anything like new uniques which I find it hard to believe

[gilded sonnet]

It wasn't all the info

[native bone]

Now watch this cost hundreds of divs like awakened enlighten

[wispy hull]

No more friction only buffs new vision ?

[karmic gulch]

i hope spector actually worth building now

[gilded sonnet]

They were doing stuff in parts, and they had only covered so much before stopping

[wispy hull]

IT will be worth it

[karmic gulch]

minion overall

[thorny blaze]

It sounds like they only got a portion uploaded before someone googed the definition of embargo

[glossy scroll]

he should of googed it before the publish button thats for sure.

[dense agate]

Spectres less cost and way more damage

pog

[fleet rain]

can't believe they really thought they could post all this lmao

[thorny blaze]

my guess is that they did the least exciting stuff first so that the big hitters would be at the top of recent articles, so that's exciting

[native bone]

Ofc. Chase gems are one of the things we were missing.

This one will be very in demand. Every build and every spirit gem that has a free socket will want this.

[glossy scroll]

they call that "just the tip", he knew what he was doing

[karmic gulch]

• we can use same Support gem on difference skill it gotta be high demain

[inner wedge]

@dense agate post em

Need mooore

[thorny blaze]

so every sprint begins with a roll? lmao

[shrewd geyser]

i hope endurance charges become more useful if we're getting new supports for them

[inner wedge]

About the sprinting.. i think it might be like in Diablo 2 maybe?

[gilded sonnet]

They covered how it works, if you get hit while Sprinting you get Heavy Stunned

[thorny blaze]

pretty much, yea

[gilded sonnet]

So it's for either out of combat stuff or to be careful used in combat

[thorny blaze]

if you get tagged while sprinting you eat dirt though

[glossy scroll]

isnt there a class that cant be heavy stunned.....

[rough dagger]

I wonder if any hit knocks you down or if it has a meter like heavy stuns

[thorny blaze]

since these pages were taken down, i'm I still cool to post what I have from them?

[gilded sonnet]

Well, they're leaks, this channel is for leaks, so seems fine to me. Besides, it all got posted already in one form or another

[glossy scroll]

i mean jonathon might delete your account, but we would appreciate your posts.

[inner wedge]

Im sure you didnt expect this many people in here, interested in leaks

[covert sleet]

No new uniques, no new ascendancies, I feel like this stuff was just rebalances, act 4 and endgame stuff. Hoping there's more stuff revealed tomorrow

[inner wedge]

There is more...

[gilded sonnet]

It was 40% of the stuff, according to the one posting it

[frail dew]

0% chance no new uniques

[shrewd geyser]

Yeah the original article sait it was only a fraction of the stuff

[thorny blaze]

no more cruel acts

[rough dagger]

The guy apparently said that there are new ascendancies, but he couldn't get to them before getting nuked

[covert sleet]

So it's not ALL leaked hahah

[inner wedge]

Never miss a moment - AI notetaking in Google Meet keeps you focused

[glossy scroll]

the rework of campaign reruns, thank you and welcome to 2025. no one wants to do that over and over

[frail dew]

we also didnt get a word on the abyss stuff we saw teased

which would be basically impossible for ggg to tease it and release nothing of the sort

[gilded sonnet]

Yes, it's obviously not all the content that will be present

[fleet rain]

also nothing on third trial or endgame pretty much

[hazy quarry]

yeah we have zero info on the league mechanic

[covert sleet]

Could that not have been teasing the interlude 1? That talks about darkness

[dense agate]

gang

[keen copper]

FeelsStrongMan I never have to do act 3 twice again

[thorny blaze]

i use Claude so apparently Goog is targeting me

[fleet rain]

yes doryani, we see the fit...

[shrewd geyser]

I wonder if he'd written the article out and scheduled it for posting after he thought the reveal would be or if he intentionally leaked it early for 15 minutes of fame

[glossy scroll]

im starting to think this was a planned move by the team, we didnt get much of anything really.

[frail dew]

if so, the interlude would have a ton of new content, which would be cool as well.

[dense agate]

no shot

[frail dew]

my impression was that the interlude was still mostly recycled

[glossy scroll]

not much of a conspiracyy guy are ya....

[blazing violet]

But what are interludes? Like temporary acts ? Or maps chained together? I didnt get that

[thorny blaze]

I unfortunately didn't see an Ascendancy article when I tabbed them all out

[idle gull]

??? Dude leaked like half the reveal stream early this isn't some 4d hype play lol

[grim nebula]

i hope that if you get hit while sprinting you get heavy stunned

[karmic gulch]

back to sleep better get more leak after i wake up kekw

[gilded sonnet]

That's how it was described

[thorny blaze]

but yea, each interlude is a reference to the 3 prior acts

[covert sleet]

Right so the guy who leaked just posted this

[glossy scroll]

jesus people get so sensitive.

[inner wedge]

Hardcore players:

[thorny blaze]

sprinting is not meta confirmed

[crimson sage]

I hope it breaks your legs and you have a -70% MS penalty for the next 5 minutes

[glossy scroll]

so like 0.1 release

[grim nebula]

oh even better

[inner wedge]

broken legs recover that fast?

[idle gull]

Wut? You got called out for saying dumb shit and are now acting like people are sensitive? Nah bro that's some victim mentality 101 right there lol

[thorny blaze]

Gemlings are seething

[pallid oriole]

finally

[shrewd geyser]

had to nerf them so people would stop making every single build archetype on them...

[glossy scroll]

by people i mean you, the only one who didnt realize i was joking with the dude based on his quick response. i bet your fun at parties arnt ya

[crimson sage]

we have magic here

[idle gull]

K sure

[frail dew]

@idle gull @glossy scroll break it up

[glass axle]

"Hi!

Big mistake today: this morning, I posted articles on my website that were under embargo (NDA) concerning Path of Exile 2. They will be reposted tomorrow evening after 10 p.m.

I am in discussions with GGG. There was no signed contract for this embargo, so there will be no legal consequences, apart from a possible “benchmark” on their part for future releases, if they decide to do so.

Why did I post these articles? The embargo message was very ambiguous and only mentioned not to publish any videos or articles summarizing all the changes we were going to see in the livestream. Except that they were talking about the official livestream, which misled me.

That's it for the clarification! Nevertheless, I have a lot of exclusive information to share with you after the embargo is lifted, so tomorrow at 10 p.m., as well as an exclusive interview on Discord with Jonathan Rogers."

Damn

He was, indeed, under NDA

[inner wedge]

Wow

[glossy scroll]

same excuse we saw from Fextra wasnt it?

[covert sleet]

I tried to post this and got a 5 minute time out so thanks for posting hahaha

[frail dew]

you got gotted for including the @ everyone ping

[wispy hull]

I bet next time anyone getting acces gonna be "you are gonna go in court if you send a image"

[thorny blaze]

crossbow reload no longer has movement penalty

[glossy scroll]

how do these people think they get content before everyone and can post anything

[thorny blaze]

the class leaks from Kami are pretty wild

[kindred prawn]

wtf we got a massive amount

[frail dew]

next league: "well, there was nothing saying i couldnt blink the details in morse code..."

[gilded sonnet]

Wouldn't surprise me

[glass axle]

Eheh gotcha

[kindred prawn]

??

[thorny blaze]

current classes

sorry, not new class leaks, just adjustments to current classes

[calm widget]

if sprinting heavy stuns you on hit does that mean it's like the rhoa in that high evasion would give you chances to keep sprinting while going?

[gilded sonnet]

It could disable Evasion while Sprinting xd

Who knows, we'll find out when they announce it properly

I imagine it will be covered more precisely than a translated French post

[covert sleet]

Yeah I fucked it

[calm widget]

that would definitely be a choice wouldn't it hahaha

[wispy hull]

blink twice if you are in danger for that someone too

[glossy scroll]

there is still a ton of stuff to get tomorrow, its going to be a good reveal.

[thorny blaze]

there's not a whole bunch of details on it, just that there is a punishment for getting hit while sprinting. I'm personally curious if the sprint speed is a flat % for all classes or if it's modified by bonuses

[dense agate]

anyone got the merc page downloaded?

i have witch and warrior already

[native bone]

Meme build idea: the ancestral sprinter.

Wear rf helm to ignite enemies and gain glory. Go full evasion to avoid getting hit and knocked, and also get good with manual dodging. Sprint around the map stomping everything in your path

[quiet glen]

im sure most of the stuff is in this channel

if you search for embeds

[dense agate]

i havent seen any of the merc stuff though

been here the whole time

[vale nest]

terrible idea

[calm widget]

even if there's no new class all the changes so far if everything makes it in looks amazing to the point where even just the removal of the support gem limit will make the game feel completely new

[dense agate]

other than the reload changes

[thorny blaze]

i've got it up, but now downloaded.

[gilded sonnet]

Why, because you can't just sprint past enemies, and have to use it for its intended purpose?

[thorny blaze]

you want a pdf :D?

[hazy quarry]

honestly these leaks made me even more excited. It seems they made a lot of things I would consider the right calls.

[keen copper]

I think Ill login to Volcanic Fissure if Totems feel weird because of the Endurance charge consumption. Armour getting buffed is HUGEEE

[calm widget]

they could make it so that it gets turned off on block or evade and you get knocked down on actual hit

[hazy quarry]

They addressed a lot of the major issues in smart ways, and made the game better overall from the looks of it

[calm widget]

to keep it fair

[glass axle]

We saw new monster type ?

[summer sand]

No way this is real right?? Minion players are rejoicing rn

[inner wedge]

How is armour getting buffed?

[gilded sonnet]

There will inevitably be more as part of Act 4, it didn't cover any specific ones from what I saw

100 more monster types was stated, iirc

[thorny blaze]

i'm pulling it straight from the Kami leaks

[pallid oriole]

ooo

[quiet glen]

thats all i was able to find for merc, + increased burn duration

but merc page didnt have much

[magic gale]

Merc buffs are crazy

[grim nebula]

disable all defenses and resistances while sprinting, lets go

[magic gale]

It's already so good

[dense agate]

heres the full warrior page btw

[inner wedge]

So Merc is the Aura bot

[gilded sonnet]

I'd be fine with it, still usable mid-boss fight for stuff like Arbiter meteors.

[pallid oriole]

W

[pallid oriole]

Want me to translate ?

[calm widget]

gemling new scion confirmed

[magic gale]

Mark2 can finally play

[thorny blaze]

merc

[quiet glen]

i know already, but you could for others

[shrewd geyser]

🔥

[inner wedge]

Do us all a favour and translate everything

[thorny blaze]

let goog do it

[summer sand]

Minions are so back next patch. LOG IN

[quiet glen]

i do like the spirit changes for spectres

[dense agate]

Lineage Supports

[gilded sonnet]

I would wager most just weren't balanced extensively, and with more data and time they were able to make adjustments.

[pallid oriole]

Banners Rethinked

Other fixed issue: Banners. Found to be too weak, they were reworked.

IMAGE

• Longer duration
• No longer disappear if you leave their zone
• Suppression of the Glory system
• They now offer more powerful and lasting buffs, activable thanks to Glory.

[quiet glen]

now its time to ban everyone that posted here

we all fell into the trap

[thorny blaze]

noooooooooo

[summer sand]

Oh my god I'm about to bust-

[thorny blaze]

It does feel wrong to be posting these article pages, though

[gilded sonnet]

It's what the channel is for, ultimately

[pallid oriole]

Oh yeah i got one for ranger

https://archive.ph/EEMid

it's in french tho

[thorny blaze]

can you block GGG from entering this chat, I don't want them to hate me

[blazing violet]

Jonathan already banned everyone looking in this channel sorry

[quiet glen]

https://tenor.com/view/fade-away-oooooooooooo-aga-emoji-crumble-gif-20008708

[fleet rain]

reading the leaks with a veil over my face, like eating an ortolan

[thorny blaze]

ranger in english

[magic gale]

I'd just like to say I have never looked in the leaks channel.

For future record

[fleet rain]

this is the channel to ask for help if you have memory leaks yes

[blazing violet]

https://tenor.com/view/jail-no-excuse-gif-24460693

[thorny blaze]

sorry my guys, my dog walked on my keyboard and posted these, totally wasn't me

[hazy quarry]

What this leaks tell me though is that GGG is very much willing to question core assumptions of their design if it makes for a better game

[thorny blaze]

i should've said cat

[pallid oriole]

i'm a hacker, i hacked this account, the owner is not responsible

[hazy quarry]

like from a pure design point of view they earned a lot of respect if even half of the leak is true

[gilded sonnet]

Well, it seems to just be a presentation they were given, so past translation error, should be about right

[thorny blaze]

it's all golden from what I'm reading

[hazy quarry]

yeah I still always treat any leak as potentially fake just to be on the safe side

But this seems very much that they listend, took the feedback and found a way to implement things in a way that is good for the game overall

[pallid oriole]

yeah but it's not rly a leak since it's just a pre press release, like it's official info from the trailer prereleased no ?

[inner wedge]

godly move to implement sprinting and from how it reads, it works like in Diablo 2 but modern.

[gilded sonnet]

It's basically the content reveal, but given to journalists so that they could write up their articles

[vale nest]

poison rf pog

[gilded sonnet]

From my understanding

[hazy quarry]

From what I gathered it was part of the press kit / press tour that GGG does, where they talk to journalists to give them an overview of what is coming so they can cover it

[quiet glen]

not an rf

[gilded sonnet]

Yeah, that

[quiet glen]

read it again

[pallid oriole]

yeah that's what I got out of it

[inner wedge]

fart

[thorny blaze]

we're still missing a LOT of info though. word is massive reworks of the tree, new league mechanic, and maybe even a new class (maybe)

[gilded sonnet]

They said Druid wasn't coming in 0.3, apparently

[quiet glen]

the area itself doesnt do dmg

its a buff

[thorny blaze]

yea people have been yammering about Marauder but I've not seen anything that corroborates that

[hazy quarry]

and honestly I am okay with that. But I do suspect a lot of reeing when its official tomorrow

[rough dagger]

The class changes and rebalance do seem big

[shrewd geyser]

sad, but if theres this many crazy changes to the existing classes i understand

[gilded sonnet]

Just because of Act 4 association, I think

[hazy quarry]

They did outright say that if the need arises they will push back druid

and well lets be honest after how 0.2 came out initially I think it was the right call to focus on the systems

[thorny blaze]

there's nothing in the pages I've loaded concerning axes or marauder

[loud walrus]

all these skill changes are more exciting than druid imo

[thorny blaze]

nor claws or druid

[rough dagger]

I doubt we get any new class

[vale nest]

twas a joke

[thorny blaze]

nor endgame changes

[hazy quarry]

that leak was only 40% done though so there is still a lot we do not know

[gilded sonnet]

You wouldn't have heard about Claws anyway

They're pure Dexterity, Druid doesn't use them

[oak hedge]

Accidentaly got to site with some old info related to a4:

The Prisoner — Solitary Confinement in Izaro’s Prison;
The Blind Beast — Isle of Kin;
Krutog, Lord of Kin — Volcanic Warrens on Isle of Kin;
Diamora, Song of Death — Singing Caverns;
Captain Hartlin — Journey’s End;
Scourge of the Skies — Unclear, somewhere on Shrike Island

[thorny blaze]

ohhh my mistake

[gilded sonnet]

We knew all of that stuff from Exilecon 2023

[oak hedge]

Yea, but cool to have right now with map on screen and a4 coming.

[thorny blaze]

the last of the pages I have

[oak hedge]

There was another one post, I think, related to a4.

[thorny blaze]

it looks like it only reveals the locations immediately available at the beginning of the act

[grim nebula]

can't wait for 20 spirit cost cultist archers so i can have an army of chaos snipers that kill everything

[oak hedge]

@thorny blaze ah, nvm, you post it earlier, the "bridge between" one.

[inner wedge]

the amount of AI, Kaim has used..

[quiet glen]

100 spirit cultist archers inc

[native bone]

Wait, it says "when enough poison is applied" does this mean poison is reworked and no longer defaults to 1 stack??

[grim nebula]

only for your account

[quiet glen]

poison applied to the toxic bulb

not to the enemy

same mechanic exists for current toxic growth

[vale nest]

where abyss page smh

[native bone]

Oh

[shut ferry]

I really didnt know this channel existed

so where are the leaks 🙂

[gilded sonnet]

It was enabled today

[quiet glen]

no leaks

we dont leak

[summer sand]

Tiered support gems look bonkers. Do we know how we'll be able to acquire them?

[quiet glen]

[vale nest]

https://tenor.com/view/leek-gif-5912956

[shut ferry]

thats boring

[gilded sonnet]

Probably just from higher tier Uncut Support Gems

[quiet glen]

move along, little mouse

[dense agate]

scroll up

[shut ferry]

word

[thorny blaze]

i posted lots of the pages

[dense agate]

get any of the pdfs janky and I posted

[shut ferry]

the what now?

[summer sand]

Yeah that makes sense. But now I'm curious. Some support gems are only available in tier 2 or 3. I guess that means they'll have tier 1 and/or 2 versions now?

[quiet glen]

disclaimer: dont download anything you dont trust

[vale nest]

brother do you have any brain cells?

[gilded sonnet]

Not necessarily, no

There are more tiers now

[summer sand]

Makes sense from a balancing perspective

[solemn swift]

deflection this will be some "mandatory" thing like poe1 suppression

[vale nest]

god i hope not. or this season might be short lived for me

[shut ferry]

it was a poorly written joke

[inner wedge]

Skill issue

[vale nest]

you like toes

i gotcha

[inner wedge]

Yes

[vale nest]

[inner wedge]

Nah

[shut ferry]

nice act4

[winged geyser]

Where leaks?

[quiet glen]

i ate em

[dense agate]

search the channel for pdf

janky and I posted most of the pages

[summer sand]

I NEED a Lich form. Imagine leading your minion army into the fray and you're their undead commander. GGG give it to me now!!!!

[gilded sonnet]

Would overlap with the Demon Form a little

Though that doesn't disable weapons anymore, so you can use that with Minions if you want

[keen copper]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-animals-leek-cat-yes-thats-it-gif-12409068

[winged geyser]

Ok but in short no class or yes

[inner wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/farfetch'd-pokemon-pokemon-farfetch'd-air-slash-leak-gif-6707720754561889750

[inner wedge]

We dont know

[hazy quarry]

What I am curious though is the reaping staff thing. Is that just one item or a new weapon type?

[inner wedge]

Its speculated

[rough dagger]

The current leak says no Druid

[hazy quarry]

Because it reads like its only one item

[shut ferry]

HOLY shit

[gilded sonnet]

New base type

If I'm not mistaken

[spiral quiver]

french guy said no new class right? or is that not confirmed

[vale nest]

headassery

[shut ferry]

Im reading the ranger file

[rough dagger]

I believe they said specifically no Druid

[shut ferry]

ice shot stay getting stronger everyday

[opaque shale]

people are saying that its pretty much confirmed that there will be no new class

[hazy quarry]

That would be amazing if true.

[vale nest]

huntress was new

[rough dagger]

But from all the changes, it does seem like all the dev time went to rebalancing the current classes

[spiral quiver]

id not be surprised if theres not

[summer sand]

Maybe thematically they have some similarities but I imagine the implementations could be vastly different. After all, shapeshifting isn't supposed to be unique to any one class

[hazy quarry]

Which was the right call honestly.

The game needed a thorough checkup

[opaque shale]

by the end of next patch the game will be released over 1 year and there is just a single new class. its a meme

[summer sand]

A lich form could easily make use of mana mechanics instead of life

[gilded sonnet]

No, but two Shapeshift forms unique to an Ascendancy on a single class would be a bit much imo

[vale nest]

oh well

such is ggg ig

[shut ferry]

wait

[vale nest]

[spiral quiver]

leaks were 40% of full content apparently

[shut ferry]

is that just spell supress for attacks

[pallid oriole]

jesus you really want your classes huh

[gilded sonnet]

Hits

[compact pier]

I’m thinking Druid gets beast minions and a beast form ascend

[gilded sonnet]

But yes

[quiet glen]

its for all hits

[thorny blaze]

active

[compact pier]

And itll be like a dual attack minion ascend

[opaque shale]

moreso the weapons, not really the classes but yeah

[quiet glen]

poe2 doesnt differentiate between spells and attacks for enemies

[thorny blaze]

sorry wrong chat

[shut ferry]

super suppression

nice

[vale nest]

thank god

[summer sand]

That's fair. Though Lich is the perfect candidate thematically for having shapeshifting in the ascendancy

[shut ferry]

nice

[loud walrus]

elaborate

[inner wedge]

Ranger, Monk and Merc. What about Huntress

[vale nest]

where abyss smh

[shut ferry]

the who now

[vale nest]

smh my head my head

[opaque shale]

also i remember jonathan saying that both huntress and druid are almost done.. i mean people were expecting those classes to release even before december and now 9 months later we still only have 1 of them

(pre-release he said that )

[compact pier]

maybe druid needed a big rework after release

[gilded sonnet]

They took longer than expected, and as we're seeing now Shapeshifting may be getting reworked in general with Demon Form no longer disabling weapons

[narrow ingot]

All the acts ready needs to be a priority

[spiral quiver]

ggg aint the best at determining time tables for completion

[inner wedge]

Bruh

[opaque shale]

they say too many things.. i wish they wouldnt because it creates expectations that arent met

[pallid oriole]

and he also said that if it was needed, they'd delay druid

[compact pier]

this fits with druid needing a rework

[quiet glen]

thats just rude

[compact pier]

shapeshifting surely will be integral to the class

[spiral quiver]

he also said the game would release within 6months to a year so

[gilded sonnet]

At least 6 months

[compact pier]

they wanna get that right before they release it

[inner wedge]

Clickfarming..270k subs..

[vale nest]

whats up with the random dogshit soundboard noises

[opaque shale]

thats one way to look at it, you can also look at it as "lying" to create more hype to increase sales.. so many things have been said shortly before release that simply turned out to not be true

[loud walrus]

Legit never said

[vale nest]

cringe as hell

[rough dagger]

Yeah, I am sure it is deliberate lying, absolutely not that things went not according to plan

If they did lie, what did they get out of it?

[rotund sorrel]

So what classes are they adding?

[keen copper]

No trailer tonight for Games Com opening night

[inner wedge]

"lie"

[hazy quarry]

No they said six month to a year, which meanwhile has been revised to end of this year to early next year.

[keen copper]

just confirmed by Ghazzy through Jonathan

[inner wedge]

[summer sand]

How so? I think it's self-evident if you've seen or played other games as a lich that liches can take on special forms and enhanced states --> shapeshifting in poe 2 terms

[spiral quiver]

huh he did multiple times

[opaque shale]

remember how they went silent about poe1 for 8 months only to come out with a last second apology saying they havent even worked on the game at all?.. yeah they totally couldnt have told us earlier, but it was not opportunistic to announce this during or before poe2 launch

[keen copper]

so those watching Games Com, tomorrow is the day!

[hazy quarry]

No

[spiral quiver]

yall about to flip when i link the source

not like it matters anyways

[gilded sonnet]

'at least 6 months', 'hopefully within a year', etc.

[quiet glen]

you have no source

[rough dagger]

They didn't "go silent" about PoE1... They announced every time it was delayed

[hazy quarry]

you mean the source that says "at least 6 month?"

[gilded sonnet]

But people love ignoring the clarifiers for everything

[spiral quiver]

https://wccftech.com/path-of-exile-2-dawn-of-the-hunt-qa-throw-everything-you-knew-in-the-bin/

yall are weird

[shut ferry]

yo so we getting volcanic fissure of snaking now eh

[keen copper]

sounds like it grid

[shut ferry]

as in they reworked normal volcanic fissure into it

[gilded sonnet]

'very keen' is not '100% coming this year'

[spiral quiver]

brother

[spiral quiver]

i didnt say

[hazy quarry]

backpedaling in 3...2...1

yes you did.

[spiral quiver]

GGG SAID THIS YEAR FOR CERTAIN

yall really are weird

[summer sand]

@loud walrus maybe this will help https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lich

[shut ferry]

sister

[opaque shale]

sure but he still makes these statements and creates expectations.

[pallid oriole]

lmfao

dude removed his comment

no wayge

[vivid parrot]

i mean didn't they say poe2 early access originally was not going to have league mechanics and it was mostly going to be ongoing balance patching adding new classes and acts over time to the point that even just eco resets were a bit up in the air

[hazy quarry]

Too bad it was already screenshotted

[spiral quiver]

wat

[rough dagger]

Eco resets were confirmed like what a year before PoE2 even went into EA

[opaque shale]

they also said it will not have all the classes at realase, so it might still release this year.. just without half the content

[spiral quiver]

i didnt delete it lol

[gilded sonnet]

Yeah

[loud walrus]

I get where you’re coming from but 99% of all Lich transformations in other popular media are permanent changes, they’re not shapeshifting

[gilded sonnet]

They had said they may be more frequent than PoE1, 2 months or so, but in general we'd knew they'd have 'leagues'.

[queen venture]

leaks:

1. Act 4: A New Era of Adventure Unveiled by Jonathan Rogers
2. The Interludes: A Bridge Between Act 4 and the Endgame (PoE2)
3. Sprint: A New Mechanic to Streamline Exploration (PoE2)
4. Support Gems: A Major Overhaul to Unleash Build Creativity (PoE2)
5. Lineage Supports: Unique Support Gems for the Endgame (PoE2)
6. Warrior Season 3: Rekindled Flames, Ancestral Totems, and New Defenses (PoE2)
7. Ranger and Dexterity Classes: New Skills, Reworks, and Reinforced Defenses
8. Mercenary Season 3: Smoother Crossbows and Strengthened Combos
9. Witch Season 3: Strengthened Summons and New Occult Weapons

are all the leaked articles already translated? or are some missing?

[keen copper]

nothing is for certain until they confirm it is

[spiral quiver]

yeah i think everything available has been translated

there were some more articles that werent published

monk stuff i think

[keen copper]

it mentioned nothing about abyss, tower changes, endgame changes

theres LOTS missing im sure

24 hours basically

were almost there

[spiral quiver]

i think french guy also said that was 40% of content

[rough dagger]

It is still weird to me how people are obsessed about "1.0", what does the release even mean to these people, it's just going to be more content, like 0.3, like 0.4, like 0.5

What does it matter to anyone unless you just can't afford to pay the beta key

[inner wedge]

Kaim, yea

[opaque shale]

1.0 in this game means nothing, they are already treating the game like a full release

[spiral quiver]

yeah full release means anything they want it to mean

[rough dagger]

Yeah, it's getting content releases just like any other ARPG

it's not like 1.0 means the game is fixed

[final shuttle]

It means marketing

[queen musk]

fuck

[final shuttle]

nothing else

[opaque shale]

well for them it might mean a lot since the game will go free to play

[vivid parrot]

only difference it seems outside of f2p will be new standard which most people dont care about tbh

[queen musk]

gonna be a totem league isnt it

totems gonna go brrrrrrrrrr

[shut ferry]

how does one generate endurance charges

[spiral quiver]

i think there are some new support gems

and some warcry stuff if im not mistaken

[rough dagger]

Yeah, "1.0" means nothing, possibly a bigger than normal content drop, and that's it for anyone that already has the game.

[spiral quiver]

well i guess it also means atleast "swords"

[inner wedge]

Diablo 2 sprinting oh baby im excited

[opaque shale]

december might even be full release with act 5 +6, then new class next year

[keen copper]

40+ lineage gems is pretty awesome

[oblique marsh]

I actually hate the infinite support equipping tbh. I think that's a huge mistake and once it's in there's no going back and it may just lead to more and more caving to just make POE 2.0 instead of POE II

[gilded sonnet]

It isn't.

[queen musk]

ggg must be so mad lmao

[keen copper]

they all seemed very strong and build defining

[rough dagger]

I wouldn't want the game to be fully released as losg as it has major issues, 1.0 won't magically solve the issues, EA will.

[inner wedge]

Technically

[vivid parrot]

because didn't they also say 1.0 can release without all the classes so yeah its not like that point matters much atm

[summer sand]

Fair enough. Then I'd like to see GGG cook something up with a permanent Lich form, instead of just shapeshifting

[keen copper]

im sure theyre pissed, but its all good, it will be way better when we get to see it all tomororw. none of us are any less hyped

[queen musk]

they tried so hard to stop the leaks yet they made it anyway hehe well done peeps

the people have won yet again

[spiral quiver]

i was thinking the same thing but doesnt seem like its working atm

[native bone]

Some of them will be hundred of divs for sure.

These gems just pushed the cost ceiling of most builds to several mirrors

[frail dew]

imo leaks dont actually matter that much in the bigger picture, the people who are giong to seek them out (like those in this channel) were going to be playing anyways

[rough dagger]

I honestly don't expect 1.0 without at least Druid, Templar, and Duelist/Marauder

[queen musk]

yes thats true

[rough dagger]

those 3 are essential at this point

[queen musk]

but i know i will be playing my beloved ranger

[keen copper]

we dont know what the economy will be like yet, so we will see

[spiral quiver]

id imagine theyd want atleast one class for each attribute combo

[queen musk]

holy can u imagine arrow and rod with the damage supports lets go

[vivid parrot]

i just want to see how traps work when finished

[opaque shale]

so basically all the classes

[inner wedge]

[keen copper]

[shut ferry]

ignore warcry cooldowns

yo are we getting a warrior season by chance

[final shuttle]

I expect atleast 1 per attribute

[elfin jasper]

I would be a bit disappointed if no new class comes out, but I would still be hyped about the rest of the patch

[rough dagger]

Duelist OR Mara, one of the two, I am hopeless about Shadow being there

[shut ferry]

damn them warrior changes do seem nice

[queen musk]

if by warrior you mean warbringer totems yes

[spiral quiver]

PRAYING for changes to endgame/atlas/towers

[queen musk]

its the totems league 140%

[oblique marsh]

I mean, people complain, but I don't know if this is actually going to create build diversity. Now a even tinier variety of gems will be used. And it's possible a meta will just form around what one build is best suited for multiple supps

[vivid parrot]

hoping for sorcs third ascendancy

[elfin jasper]

I find the atlas and towers pretty good, not sure what could be improved

[shut ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/world-of-warcraft-totem-shaman-deity-tempest-gif-8554636168622977166

[spiral quiver]

you're probably right about that. the former gem system seems so difficult to develop around though

[elfin jasper]

more atlas passive on the atlas tree maybe

[opaque shale]

idk.. last patch i was expecting huntress and druid, only got 1.. this patch i expected druid, might not even be there. if they still want to release this year there might not be any new class or 1 at best

[queen musk]

wait can i share what leaks i found out from under nda content creators

xdd

[spiral quiver]

maybe theyll introduce enough interesting new supports that you wont want to repeat too many of them

[oblique marsh]

Maybe they should make only SOME supports reusable or something.

[frail dew]

sure

[final shuttle]

Drop it waib

[spiral quiver]

i can definitely see that with the lineage gems

[rough dagger]

Let's be real, December isn't happening, even Jonathan said that a March delay is possible which does mean it's likely July

[queen musk]

i dont have pics , tho i knew about the acts thing before so just double dip confirm

[vivid parrot]

what the act 4 + interlude stuff

[queen musk]

yeah

[hazy quarry]

Honestly I personally could not care less about when it goes f2p.

[oblique marsh]

Then again, I mean, it's a way different game. What good is support spamming? We won't know yet I guess. But does tht include Spirit skills? 3 Vitality's or whatever?

[rough dagger]

I wonder if the interludes have new bosses or reused act 1/2/3 bosses

[hazy quarry]

I know its important for the game mind you, but for me personally when that happens is largely irrelevant.

[opaque shale]

allegedly they have the bosses that will be used in act 5 and 6

[spiral quiver]

thats a good question. maybe you use multiple but the effect wont stack

[hazy quarry]

I mean we know that in the 0.2 meta any skill that scales with levels wins by default, and any that have flat damage support also wins

[rough dagger]

If the interludes feel very different from the acts, that would be very cool

[spiral quiver]

maybe were in for a wacky vitality meta

[hazy quarry]

And if you pick one or the other you always will pick the one with a +level support

now you have more options

[queen musk]

trinity gonna go brrrrrr

+4 levels from supps lule

[opaque shale]

it would also make sense, they can balance the bosses and then they just have to drop act 5 +6 map layout and quests for full release and everything is already somewhat balanced

[queen musk]

fk this no support thing throws me off

[rough dagger]

Yep, the article also says the interludes will be reused in the endgame

[queen musk]

the possibilities are endless now

[hazy quarry]

I mean for a lot of builds it means since there is an upper cap on support gems that you are no longer as reliant to get it on gear if you can slot more in supports

[queen musk]

absolute insanity

i guess thats the easiest blanket balance slap

LULE

[rough dagger]

I wonder if Unarmed monk is still coming

Like the archetype support

[queen musk]

well

martial artist is coming

dont ban me mods

[rough dagger]

We don't know that

[queen musk]

XD

[opaque shale]

i have mixed feelings about the support gem change, on one hand i like it on the other hand i feel like this is like a forfeit by the devs and the game will become poe1

[hazy quarry]

You are aware that limit is across skills not within a skill yes?

[queen musk]

yes

light mastery , fire , ice

+3 , that supp +4

[hazy quarry]

which is something you already could do

so I am failing to see how the change matters

[rough dagger]

Yeah, same, I wonder how it will play out, it will mean most supports will need amassive rebalance at some point to make them competitive

[spiral quiver]

i bet alot of them have been changed as well

[pulsar sedge]

The implication is that you'll be able to level boost your damage skill and trinity now

[opaque shale]

idk poe1 has lots of useless support gems too

[queen musk]

^ what sirkiser said

[native bone]

Even without new class tbh the revealed changed so far seems chonky.

Warrior got omega buffed.

All those whining, mememeing and moaning for warrior being garbage worked it seems

[rough dagger]

Maybe, I guess this does mean they can chill out on creating new supports, they probably felt very pressured to add a lot of niche supports every patch

[queen musk]

and its so weird that warrior got buffed

[spiral quiver]

i think it opens up design space if you can use supports. they dont have to make soooo many hyperspecific supports to support all your shit

[queen musk]

when you think about it

[pale beacon]

wen shadow

[keen copper]

Sprint is huge, if it actually isnt clunky

[queen musk]

it wasnt even in a bad spot

still 4-5 perfect strike with average gear arbiter

lule

[spiral quiver]

maybe dmg got nerfed on perfect strike with AOE buff

[hazy quarry]

That was my main gripe with 0.2 That most good supports were "Do 2% more damage if it rains on a tuseday and your enemie wears pink shoes, but only if they wear them on their hands instead."

[opaque shale]

if armour can actually reduce ele dmg now i feel like warriors are gonna be busted

[vivid parrot]

it can but its a armor mod

[rough dagger]

If the formula is still mitigation before res

then no

[queen musk]

bloody smith just thanos rn in 0.3

disgusting

[hazy quarry]

So I am all for them either axing the conditionals or at least heavily tone it down

[opaque shale]

that will still be the case, you just can socket them everywhere now

[rough dagger]

I think it would be better to keep the conditionals but make it more worth

[queen musk]

btw i predict the invert elemental resists

[rough dagger]

The supports need to be unique afterall

[hazy quarry]

The difference is with the limit gone you can now re use support gems that DO NOT do that

[queen musk]

to be most expensive support gem

[vivid parrot]

this was it

[native bone]

That and the dialla, the mixture of enhance, empower and enlighten

[opaque shale]

expect a lot of support gem balance changes, they wont just remove the limit and not nerf the hell out of the good gems

[hazy quarry]

How good warrior will be depends also on if they further changed mob scaling

[queen musk]

that support gem is basically beacon but in a skill

absolute madness

[rough dagger]

Martial tempo on every attack now

[hazy quarry]

if its like 0.2 then yeah warrior will be omegalul levels of broken

[queen musk]

imagine warrior mjolnir build

undying porting everywhere

[chilly onyx]

So are we getting marauder and axes????

[final shuttle]

lmao

[native bone]

I'm one of the people pushing that marauder agenda. 😄
Just because I'm sick of the constant druid moaning

[oblique marsh]

Anyone else think they're going to do Druid AND Marauder? There were new Axe skill updates in the recent patch, right?

[opaque shale]

druid would be something new to poe, marauder is already kinda there

[final shuttle]

Possibly not getting a new class

[rough dagger]

All new classes this patch likely

and all acts

[oblique marsh]

Right, tht's why I'm thinking they would have to do Druid

That would be the last new class

[rough dagger]

Imo, Mara or Duelist are more urgent since they solve an issue with the melee archetype, Druid is just novel

[native bone]

Act 4 is Karui islands a d marauder is Karui. Perfect opportunity imo to introduce him lorewise

[final shuttle]

there's no str/int class

i'd say that's more urgent than an extra one on the existing stats

[rough dagger]

In that case, Templar I would say is more urgent

[oblique marsh]

Also I'm starting to think they're going to do 1 ranged-ish weapon for each stat combo of classes. Spear/Bow, Sword/Crossbow, Mace/Axe, Claw/Flail, Quarterstaff/Dagger

[opaque shale]

🤷‍♂️ idk i didnt have any issue with melee

[oblique marsh]

(obvi Witch and Sorc don't match that pattern though)

[rough dagger]

Druid I feel like it's just Uh... Not one of the core ARPG fantasies

[chilly onyx]

I’m also just tired of maces and marauder makes sense since karui act 4 so that comes with axes

[rough dagger]

But maybe that's me, never been a Druid fan

[winged geyser]

Whattt are yoy saying

[pulsar sedge]

Druid is classic Core ARPG to most I think

[elfin jasper]

haha druid is a diablo 2 character

it doesn't get more arpg fantasy than druid

[oblique marsh]

It may not be for you, but you gotta have a Nature Magic and Shapeshifting class IMO

[rough dagger]

I guess I am basing my ARPG fantasy on PoE1

[strong pond]

Very unlikely to get druid, afaik?

[chilly onyx]

Poe 1 is Diablo 2 2

[final shuttle]

i mean the only reason they didnt do something like druid in poe1 is they cant do animations easily

[elfin jasper]

poe1 is just one game, diablo 1 and 2 have spawned the entire genre

[rough dagger]

Yeah I guess PoE1 being my main ARPG experience, I just never really felt like we need Druid for PoE2

PoE2 needs to do what PoE1 does and then anything ontop is nice

[elfin jasper]

anyway, I really hope druid comes out, I want nothing more for poe2

[rough dagger]

right now, it doesn't even do what PoE1 does

[pulsar sedge]

Nature magic was rather missed in PoE1 imo.

[strong pond]

Thank god

[shrewd falcon]

wait what the fuck? they are bringing tota back?.....god

[pallid oriole]

poe2 does not NEED to do eveyrthing poe1 does, we're not trying to get the same fucking game

[oblique marsh]

Druid was supposed to release with Huntress, and they said it's 80% finished like 6 months ago

[rough dagger]

I do think it does need to fulfill the same fantasies that PoE1 does, just better

[oblique marsh]

Druid and Marauder are the last "tribal" classes, and they have been saying over and over that the theme is "tribal" coming up

[strong pond]

Doesn't really matter if non-confirmed leaks say that it's not what you expect

[rough dagger]

Like the core 6 PoE1 classes, to me, are much more important than the new PoE2 ones

[pallid oriole]

Yeah sure the classes are cool. But for example, I would not like for poe2 to become a 1 button game with screen wiping at lightspeed

[pulsar sedge]

Defining new styles of classes lets them redefine old ones better in a new sequel world.

[final shuttle]

Poe 1 is not exactly creative with the classes and their visuals/backstory

[rough dagger]

Yeah, I am not talking about balance really, moreso fantasies and like systems quality

[opaque shale]

oh apparently support gems have tiers now

[hazy quarry]

Over time clear speed will inevitably will increase

[rough dagger]

They always had tiers

no?

T1/2/3

Unless you mean the same support

[hazy quarry]

I assume from what I read that its now more then that

[opaque shale]

i mean like this

[rough dagger]

Oh

that's sick

[hazy quarry]

oooohhh

[rough dagger]

I always disliked the lack of support progression

[hazy quarry]

that is interesting

[final shuttle]

i assume you have full access to the gems now

and uncut gems t1/t2/t3 are the tiers

[hazy quarry]

that is a great way to change it honestly

I like this

[gilded sonnet]

No, there's just more tiers, these upgraded variants are split across them

[rough dagger]

Yeah, I liked the support gem progression in PoE1

good to have it here

[final shuttle]

hope not, fresh charachters feel like absolute shit when your skill's best supports are all t3

not too many skills like that ofc

[rough dagger]

You don't need to have access to the best support from T1

That's part of the progression

[gilded sonnet]

Yeah, you really don't.

[chilly onyx]

I kinda wish we just leveled skill and support gems like Poe 1 again. Not having to socket j to gear is great, but bring the old way of leveling back

[gilded sonnet]

No

[rough dagger]

I hate it when my characters' bis items aren't equippable on level 1

[opaque shale]

i feel like the sprint is gonna get "abused" a lot by good players during boss fights, since it only stuns you when you get hit, as long as you can dodge its free movespeed

[final shuttle]

a lot of the t3 gems are not pure damage, i hate it when my skill does not function for 6 hours like it's gonna function in the endgame

[pallid oriole]

Why do people want a poe1 copy so badly

[final shuttle]

what's first t3 gem rn ? level 50 or something

[rough dagger]

The Sprint mechanic is probably gonna get iterated on

[gilded sonnet]

Found the image

[rough dagger]

a bunch, like dodge roll

[abstract dagger]

the sprint mechanic legit sounds so awful gameplay wise

[gilded sonnet]

Why?

[pulsar sedge]

You really only use it when you know you're safe

[abstract dagger]

having to hold spacebar to sprint is already gonna be annoying, being stunned if hit is also just gonna be annoying

[gilded sonnet]

It's a thing to improve out of combat speed without affecting the pace of combat

[rough dagger]

The main 2 issues I see are:
Is it insta knock down on any hit?
I don't really want to keep holding space for a long time, my thumb can't handle that

[abstract dagger]

seems way simpler to just have an out of combat sprint that doesnt require all this tediousness

[grim nebula]

what's wrong with the instant knockdown on hit?

[opaque shale]

i kinda wish they'd remove pausing from all boss fights, not just pinnacles.

[pulsar sedge]

It'll affect parts of combat, like the zone to zone running on arbiter if you were too low on movement speed

[grim nebula]

dont' sprint in situations you can get hit

[summer sand]

Evasion stackers do get somewhat buffed with the sprint changes. It all comes down to skill and gearing issues though which I think is reasonable

[opaque shale]

i asssume so yeah

[hazy quarry]

Not just there, deflection makes a lot more pure evasion builds a lot more viable

[rough dagger]

Yeah but imagine this, I just cleared a pack of mobs, I missed one mob, I start sprinting

and I get hit

🙃

[hazy quarry]

having a 40% mitigation layer when you inevitably do get hit is great

[summer sand]

skill issue tbh

[opaque shale]

tahts your own fault for not playing the meta skill that explodes the whole screen

[gilded sonnet]

You don't need to play a meta skill to pay attention to enemies, or be careful with projectiles

[rough dagger]

It should have something like the rhoa tbh

So that not every tiny hit stuns you

[opaque shale]

i dont think they want you to use sprint all the time, its more like a "the last rare is on t he other side of the map" kind of thing

[gilded sonnet]

Don't use it in combat and while running towards enemies or into their projectiles

It's specifically an out of combat thing

That's the point

[native bone]

This is one of those gitgud things.

It will be annoying at first but once people get used to it it will come off as natural

[summer sand]

witch/sorc gets access to stun threshold on passive tree, evasion is evasion, and strength side of the tree just builds pure tankiness. i'm not really seeing the issue with being stunned tbh

[grim nebula]

sounds like you didn't "clear" the pack of mobs then

[rough dagger]

Yeah, but again, I don't see how the rhoa meter would go against that, because any actual combat would instantly stun you... But it would prevent being stunned from that one small worm that you just didn't see before starting to sprint

[opaque shale]

who knows, we'll see

[rough dagger]

You would get stunned anyway if there is actual combat

[native bone]

Skill issue.

[gilded sonnet]

You already dodge away before starting the sprint, and you'd be running away from said worm

[rough dagger]

That worm is fast

very fast

[gilded sonnet]

You're faster

[rough dagger]

I am a warrior

[gilded sonnet]

The article said you can outrun most if not all enemies with it

[hazy quarry]

Here is my theory. Sprint does not stack with any other movement speed bonus. Its just a flat % that it scales up to

[summer sand]

.... so a tiny ass worm shouldn't scare you if you have good defences? idk

[native bone]

Fair ig

[rough dagger]

Again, I don't see why the meter would hurt, if the idea is to make sure you don't abuse it

[gilded sonnet]

The current mechanic does it just fine

[rough dagger]

make it 2 worm hits

[hazy quarry]

So if you have 20% movement speed bonus boots it still only scales to say 30% that way the boots line is still is valuable and you do not get zoomzoom

[rough dagger]

Yeah, but it would be stupid if the tiny worm knocks me to the ground

[frosty eagle]

The Sprint button should work like it does in most action/Souls games, holding down the button activates sprints after a few frames but if you tap it, it dodges. Seems like something that has been solved for decades. There are some games that gave you sprint after a dodge but in those games you have a very fast dash so the transition is seamless

[gilded sonnet]

Just don't get hit by the worm, they don't have Flicker Strike

[rough dagger]

There are 100 new mobs in act 4

you don't know

flicker worms

[gilded sonnet]

That's how it works, if you hold it down, you go into a Sprint, otherwise it's just a dodge roll

[frosty eagle]

Ah ok I misread then 👍

[keen copper]

Sprint will help but it will still ultimately lead to more movespeed changes in the future

[opaque shale]

they made the first bloodmage node free, i feel like bloodmage is gonna be really strong if it can now take an additional ascendancy node

[summer sand]

The implementation may be more nuanced than what the leaks seem. Surely once the mechanic rolls out we'll see if it's problematic

[rough dagger]

Yeah, it will be iterated on

I hope the T4 endgame bosses get buffed, with all of the new power creep

[native bone]

It will benefit summoners. Afaik you phase thru ur minions anyway,

So you can build a zhp summoner and just perma sprint running around minions killing everything. They also bodyblock projectiles so no stray will knock you down.

Op for bossing even as most boss moves are telegraphed and

[thorny blaze]

wow even Woolie thinks Marauder is for sure?

[kindred prawn]

woolie dumdum

[rough dagger]

yeah, marauder for sure not coming

[opaque shale]

its already confirmed that they are adding the new secret class that hasnt been announced yet anywhere

[magic gale]

By who, where?

[hazy quarry]

Do not take anything ANY content creator says seriously.

[rough dagger]

You missed it?

[opaque shale]

https://tenor.com/view/you-have-to-totally-trust-me-eric-cartman-south-park-s20e7-oh-jeez-gif-20389828

[magic gale]

There's no reason to think they hid any of the 0.3 content reveal from the press during the event.

[hazy quarry]

We had one bonafide leak, which was due to someone breaking embargo, so unless it is from the same source (which it verifyably is not in this case), then it is not in any way shape or form confirmed.

[strong cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/loud-noises-anchorman-yelling-yell-gif-5294834

[magic gale]

Those events are intended to prep press for releasing their articles right after the livestream.

[hazy quarry]

So if you get angry at someone if it is not coming to pass get angry at the content creator who decieved you for ad money.

[lime python]

There’s also no reason to think they showed all the content in a press release

[opaque shale]

well, there was also the chinese even thingy

[final shuttle]

but that's the point

[gilded sonnet]

They would've showed something as major as a class

[winged geyser]

So if im not mistaken we are technically getting almost 3 acts

[strong cedar]

Cant wait for loud noise LOG IN

[hazy quarry]

Where nothing was said about the templar or any added class

in fact it outright was said that druid was not in it

[magic gale]

Yes there is, the entire reason they do those events is so that the press can accurately write up announcement articles to post live as soon as the announcement happens.

[shut ferry]

explode totems making a return as a suport gem

[final shuttle]

Keep coping guys , it's coming. I hope you're right tho

[rough dagger]

If there was a new class, the leaker would've 100% slipped it in one of his messages

[winged geyser]

Mo new class we are doomed

[thorny blaze]

only Kami leaked though, right? he they for sure didn't get all of the articles up in time (i think).

even so, while i'm sure there's more info to be had, I don't think it's a class reveal

[keen copper]

its also possible GGG wanted to keep Druid majorly under wraps we dont know forsure, or any other class

[magic gale]

Right, he didn't get everything published

[keen copper]

we find out tomorrow

[winged geyser]

So 0.3 were cooked no new content gf

[magic gale]

We don't really know anything about endgame changes afaik

[hazy quarry]

according to the leaker they had only 40% up at the time it ws taken down

[rough dagger]

Yes, but he mentioned in Discord that no Druid. He would've mentioned if there is another class...
One thing he said is he only leaked a fraction (40%?) and that the patch is "massive"

[hazy quarry]

so not even half

[native bone]

Then why kulemak was not included in the leaks? I thinks it's one of the greater attractions considering it has a trailer and all

[thorny blaze]

GGG was pretty tight lipped about Druid when Tri asked last

[magic gale]

yeah he also didn't post anything about the league mechanic

[thorny blaze]

i think Jonathans dropped other hints that Druid is not coming 0.3

[calm widget]

also according to the leaker he spoke to Jonathan and they aren't releasing a new class they decided to just go for the massive skill rebalance and changes

[hazy quarry]

Jonathan outright stated in the talkative and the chinese interview that if they have to cut druid to get 0.3 in a good place they will

[rough dagger]

Jonathan did say that they have no issue in skipping Druid for 0.3 in favour of balancing the other classes

[hazy quarry]

and well apperently they did

[native bone]

Stope with the cope guys no druid is coming

[calm widget]

we don't know anything for sure so it's best to keep expectations low and expect nothing

[winged geyser]

No new class is game over

Dead league

[hazy quarry]

Nah not at all

I am super hyped.

[rough dagger]

no

dead league

don't play

[winged geyser]

Id they dont like add 3 ascendancies were fucked

[elfin jasper]

control your expectations guys. they never promised a new class for this league

[hazy quarry]

Three ascemdancies are likely I would assume

[calm widget]

it's gonna be a totally new game with the changes they're making to skill gems and support gems

[final shuttle]

what ever they release 0.3 is perfect no complaints ,you killed it, move devs to poe1 new league

[elfin jasper]

exactly. new items and everything

[opaque shale]

they never promise anything but they say a things and create expectations

[hazy quarry]

Plus lots of new content, new act, three interludes

Also lots of new endgame maps

and a league mechanic we do not even know about yet

[queen musk]

how about no

[magic gale]

Yeah we saw nothing of the endgame updates
