i don't think you can change the meta view that a build which requires a mana flask is a failed build. offline	Posted by cronus on Sep 3, 2019, 4:21:57 AM Quote this Post

" Packs of monsters that spawn with Rare monsters now have a single shared modifier from the Rare, as well as more life, damage, experience and item rewards. This will make a Rare monster encounter more rewarding, and able to provide a greater challenge. " Is there a chance that Cannot Die Aura can be shared from the rare and the entire pack become impossible to kill , since every mob will have their own personal Cannot Die Aura? Or it doesn't work like this?	Posted by iuiulitza on Sep 3, 2019, 4:47:21 AM Quote this Post

As for more generalized improvements to minion AI, that's not something you'll hear about in a manifesto like this, or even possibly in the patch notes ('cept maybe as something really nebulous like 'we've improved the AI of some monsters across the game'). AI improvements are typically a very much background thing for most games cos they're very hard to really communicate so it's best to just let them be seen in-game (akin to GGG's own 'continued to incrementally improve the sound, art, effects and environment' found in every patch since forever). they didn't change the AI. they just added gems for "agressive behaviour" that some minions already have and "targeting" which you could already do by attacking a specific enemy. https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/cwcuyw/have_a_look_at_the_updated_raise_zombie_and/eya2g6e/ so line-of-sight will still be a problem for some minions, animate weapons remains in the very sad state it has been in for a while - but hey, we get an extra skill bar and "minion control gems", instead of an AI improvement.
