Developer video on the new skill tree

So these are significant changes to item generation, does that guarantee a legacy migration ?

(The first one can be done retro active to avoid a migration, not sure about the second one)

In the current skill tree there are barely any faster stun and block recovery nodes. There are plenty of block only nodes, but only 3 stun/block ones. Could you please add a cluster of stun/block nodes in the center of the tree, or near the chaos inoculation keystone? I've been trying to improve my stun recovery recently on my melee chaos inoculation shadow and I don't understand why there are barely any in the tree.

Also, it might be nice to add some +40 health node clusters (instead of 6% life) to help characters increase their base life. Currently characters that depend on life are very dependent on finding gear with life modifiers, just increasing %life from the passive tree doesn't do much when your base life is low. Not every life based character has a ton of strength nodes to help increase their base life. I know it's possible to help oak 4 times to get an extra 180 base health but not everyone knows that and especially new players don't, or at least they don't understand how important that can be if they are relying on life to survive.

Ma New Build?

You wasted a point at the templar start area. You spent two points on stat nodes when you could have just spent one by going from the other direction.

Oh i see!, Thank you!
I will note it for Monday:).

Good question.

It's probably more balanced, but it's so ugly.
What I like about the current one is its chaotic look.

This one looks too homogenous, there are a lot of empty spaces, each class has an awful rounded-square-like area to group its clusters. I hope some art work is planned...

I'm pretty sure that 0.9.11 will not have a legacy migration.

I personally like the new layout. It's very organized and symmetric.
The other one was a whole "clusterfuck" this one looks so pretty and not so much "in your face".

Because it looks more organized it also is new player friendly.

The more I think about this the more I like it. Let's all hope for the best.

Monday was it?
I still hope it comes friday and chris was just trolling us hard.

Got me to thinking about appreciating looks. Perhaps I should take a pic of the skill tree now, enlarge it, put it in a frame and hang it on my wall.

Years from now I can go, "Ahhh the good ole days!"

Those are always confusing for newbs, because of the maths involved. You see "150%" OMG!!! But it's 150% of the base 5%... And it gets a little more complex for the new PoE player because we have two mods: critical strike CHANCE, and critical strike DAMAGE MULTIPLIER.

The bottom line is people tend to think of percentages in terms of percentage POINTS, not percentages of a percentage.

I also LOVE the idea of listing the exact change in stat from each node.
