we needed more similar minions with some variety, and to fix that you just remove the only good endgame minion option. Dope. Another season of "GGG hates minions"	Posted by addohm#8001 on Dec 5, 2025, 5:30:41 AM Quote this Post
" So pathfinder now is dead and not even pathfinder. More like scion from poe 1. Did GGG add item to spread poison now ? How it is dead? They buffed it. You get 2x poison for 2 asc points, then you can start wherever you like (witch or warrior starting positions) and convert any attributes on your gear into damage\defences in 1 to 1 ratio. PF is a very solid class now. But yes, you have to pay with 30 spirit for that in case if you're willing to go with a poison build. Oh, and they deleted the filler talent which made you immune to some types of ailments (i bet it had 0% use), so in case if you want to stack some DR based on evasion, you can do that only for 2 points, not 4 as before. On top of the fact that you can convert your attributes into defences\damage + have 2x poisons it seems super good. Idk.

Toxic Growth: Now has Limit 12 Pustules (previously 8). Now fires 4 Pustules (previously 8). Now has 100% of base Attack Speed (previously 80%). A bit insane, nerfing x2 damage on a dead skill	Posted by JHSC#4976 on Dec 5, 2025, 5:43:57 AM Quote this Post
" Volsal#8024 wrote: Several changes that are missing and could still be added to improve 0.4 and specifically some Druid and elemental builds: - There is also lack of item support for hybrid attack / spell builds in the game. Even if Druid would get nodes in passive tree that buff both attack and spell damage most items currently have too specialized mods (spell damage or attack damage or cast speed or attack speed or X damage added to attacks and likewise) that would scale only part of such build. To address that - consider adding more generic modifiers to items (like elemental damage / skill speed and likewise) and if needed such generic modifiers could have a bit lower value than specialized ones to compensate for versatility. There should be also more hybrid build scaling items like Crown of Eyes and Crown of Eyes is currently undertuned / underwhelming (bad mods, does not affect attack and cast speed etc) and could be also looked at and buffed. They'll probably add more support for spellblade-y type builds when templar releases. Thats the other str/int class, and in poe1 has an ascendency with a heavy focus on weaving attacks and spells. Unfortunately kinda flopped though because poe1 struggles to make 2/3 button builds work well. The socket/combo system in 2 alongside weapon set skill trees should make it more viable. Should also be the character for the flail release which im quite interested in.

A bit insane, nerfing x2 damage on a dead skill What you mean nerfing x2 damage? You can have 1,5 more postules as before and have higher attack rate as before? o.O As much as we didn't needed 8 postules for clear, I rather have the speed tbh	Posted by Ondrugs#1147 on Dec 5, 2025, 6:05:07 AM On Probation Quote this Post
