Content Update 3.26.0 — Path of Exile: Secrets of the Atlas

Skill Gems in a nutshell.
90% nerfs
9% - buffed by 5%
1% - kinda buffed by more than 5%
[Removed by Support]

to anyone saying "just nerf hexblast damage", the goal is not to have it as a mine exclusive build.
if you want to use mines, use the of Havoc gem and lose 80% of your damage.

you are arguing to "just reduce the damage" when that option already exists... just play Havoc and stop complaining.

Literally 90% of the gems were 10-15% buffs, what are you on about? There's like 10-ish that were meaningfully nerfed, and most deserved it. Stop letting your preconceptions blind you to the actual words on the page.

Then we wouldn't get any shock/freeze which is half the thing with it.
But ye i would probably even be fine with 80% nerf to damage if it means the skill works as it does now. It's fun / smooth playstyle.
Also it's not a very tanky build so without the freeze itll feel very bad again.

Noone uses this for selfcast, never have except once i believe with shako back in doom days.
And ignite build.

Why remove the playstyle for us that enjoy it? It's not like there was 30% of the pop that played it like with LS and other op skills.

HB mines deserves to still exist just like LS still exists.
Could even do a tag on it "70% less damage if triggered by a mine" voila, can be selfcasted as intended or use mines and us enjoyers get to enjoy it still.

nice

Idk if this is happening to anyone else but all of my irradiated maps are not going to lvl 80 they are staying at lvl 79 with this new update. Is it a bug? I used to use t16s and get lvl 81 now it only goes to 80. If so than it's a waste of an irradiated tablet.

Are we gonna have any clarification about Mercenaries in campaign? Are they gonna drop transfigured gems since first area (the 1lvl ones and so on), are we gonna have them in every campaign map or is this only for the endgame?
Because I only saw in every screenshot Mercenaries 70+ lvl...

I never heard or read that we gonna meet them during campaign maps or if "Wraeclast" means the campaign idk but would like to know.

Hyped for this league

im happy with this , i can finally say that after about 4 years of BS bussiness

As a new playere took me a lot of time and effort to farm all the objects for the hexblast build and now you are telling me that the build is noe useless? Wow, nice, really...
