question tactictan passive The Cannons, Ready! will it still only make totems attack using projectile attacks?


If they didn't stated anything about that in notes than you can assume with 90% that this line is still the same.


So you are required to weapon swap a crossbow to use any other totems? Does GGG know how insane that sounds or was it an oversight. I hope for the love of this game its the latter.

Arc: Is now a Projectile. It no longer causes explosions against shocked enemies and is no longer a payoff skill. It now chains 6-9 times at Gem levels 5-20 (previously 5-8). It now has 50% more shock magnitude, and can now consume a lightning infusion to chain additional times and deal more damage. Now deals 2-39 damage at Gem level 5 (previously 5-31), scaling up to 20-386 damage at gem level 20 (previously 49-277). Quality now provides 0-10% chance to not remove an Infusion but still count as consuming them (previously 0-2% more Damage for each remaining Chain).


The numbers for the updated arc are based off of the pulse damage, which was removed.

New content looks amazing. However, I feel conflicted about many changes. Looks like POE 2's gameplay identity crisis is being resolved by turning it more into POE 1, which I personally think is pretty unfortunate. I'll give it a shot nonetheless.

Build variety is getting better thanks to lower stat requirements (thank God) and more freedom with support gems. Still, I was really hoping to see more skills usable across different weapon types. Unfortunately, in a few cases, the exact opposite happened (palm skills).

I'm also a bit disappointed there's no new class or weapon. But I guess it's just not ready yet. Oh well, it is what it is. Better than rushing things.

To be fair with the reduced stat requirements and no weapon swap time, using other skills/weapons is much easier now then before.
Did a search on the notes, Ranger showed up once. Deadeye only voltaic mark updated and Pathfinder only concoctions updated. So you're saying Ranger is dead, as well the standard league... great! Don't get me wrong, I get that the new content gets all the spoils and all.
Trial of chaos loot was already bad now you made it worst with all the nerfs to soul cores. It’s bad enough the boss drops nothing good.

The changes on Infernalist's demonform dont look that good to me. Only 30% spell damage at 10 stacks with a massive downside looks pretty weak for an ascendancy

Every ascendancy and support it seems, even notables and fucking atlas passives are loaded with downsides. I dont get the hostel game development. We get Sprint but oh of course a HUGE DOWNSIDE has to come with it. When people start dying to that left right and center everyone will be reminded how bad this game feels at its core.

man i feel sorry for whoever at ggg has to read this kinda stuff and try to make sense of it.
I'll make this SUPER clear ->

no changes to trials = no coming back for me or any of my friends. trials suck and we hate them so much we'd rather never play again if they don't change.

Deadeye is arguably the strongest ascendency already. [Removed by Support]
