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

Is there really not going to be any nerfs to the old recombinator?
I'm hoping it is changed behind the scenes and we just don't know. Did not seem like it in the reveal or Q&A though. RIP.

we will be abble to change gems from mercenary as well?

No you can't. you can only change their items, not even passsives tree at least from what i know so far

unless this scarab is purelly for experience farm and not drops this change make no sense

Evolving Shrine Buffs from the Domination Scarab of Evolution now have double the chance to evolve defeated monsters.

these rares dont drop anything please fix that instead.

How are golems? Never played a build around golems/harbinger so Elementalist looking nice

Yooooo, lets buff more uniques and make more uniques useful

I really dont understand the Ambush Scarab change unless its because having to many blocks other mechanics and they get a buff to drops to compensate. since strongboxes is a pretty bad strategy.

I wonder if all of the scarabs that is getting buffed here is only getting buffed because its under used.

Still so far no changes to Rogue exiles wonder if thats getting nerfed right at the last second.

Allflames are back. Strongboxes are actually giga insane with them. I got 3 mirrors that league from SB.

No change to Vorana's March?!?!?!? Sigh

LFGGGG!!

Dear GGG, please change Berserker's ascendancy, make him more playable. Why is he a plug in the Marauder class and an underdog in every league? How is it that 4 points of his ascendancy have a negative effect?
1. In DefyPain "At 10 Defiance, take Reflected Physical Damage equal to maximum Life, then lose all Defiance".
2. In AspectOfCarnage "10% increased Damage taken".
3. In RiteOfRuin "Lose 0.1% of Life per second per Rage while you are not losing Rage".
4. In Blitz "8% reduced Critical Strike Chance per Blitz Charge".
And in patch 3.26 they added strange defensive mechanics, but at the same time took away flat physical damage, crit chance, and a good bonus to attack speed.

Ambush Scarab now has Area contains 3 additional Strongboxes (previously 5).

But why?

That's just sad
If it was too rewarding in T17s then change T17s not the scarab.
