Path of Exile: Betrayal Patch Notes

Hope 'Path of building' will updates earlier then league starts.
Weird that the new ailments aren't described in here. Otherwise it's all sounding excellent. Couple of characters I was planning to make got some improvements too (especially that new Frigid Wake Occultist node).
Dam GGG just had to kill Melee builds like that with no buffs huh?
What are the 3 new ailments? And what do they do?

Impale is a debuff and not an ailment apparently.

Bex announced Scorch, but we have no idea what it does.

Presumably the cold DoT is an ailment (maybe?) but we need to know its mechanics and numbers.

Why isn't this information in the patch notes?

Why isn't there anything about scarabs?
I think the statement that they approach every league with a few character archetypes was very telling.

And I am not liking: skill-specific tree changes, especially ascendancy.
Buff ice trap, thanks!
In order to get rid of clearspeed meta cap global movement speed at 100% but make all skills instant so everything feels great.
So you nerf quillrain but dont buff explosive arrow really? What the fuck.
now let the salty tears flow

In thE BeTrayal ChallEnge League, you will investigate the ImmoRtal SyNdicAte, whose sinister operations have begun to appear across WraecLast and ORiath.
Help the newest master, Jun Ortoi, as she investigates the disappearance of several prominent exiles in relation to the sudden rise of the Immortal Syndicate. She will aid you as you seek to dismantle Syndicate fortifications, halt the transportation of Syndicate resources, prevent the Syndicate from destroying vital evidence in their research compounds, and fight off their attempts to assassinate you.
Track your progress on the Investigation Board, and force the Syndicate members you defeat to Bargain with you, betray their allies, face interrogation or be executed. Use the information you gain from these actions to raid Syndicate safehouses.


Anyone else noticed this? If you look carefully the words "ETERNAL ORB" are embedded in the message. Possible re-introduction of them??

Tectonic Slam
Charged Slam (which typically consumes an Endurance Charge) now deal 60% more damage (up from 18%).
Now has a 35% chance to consume an Endurance Charge to create a Charged Slam (down from 100%).


What it means? Only every 3rd attack will have increased aoe and damage? Or every attack will have increased aoe and damage while you have endurance charges, but 35% chance to consume one?
