It reduces Chaos Resistance, increases Damage over Time taken, and grants added Chaos Damage to hits against cursed enemies. Vulnerability is now a Strength gem, focused on Physical Damage, Bleed and Maim.ĭespair is a new Intelligence gem that will replace existing copies of Vulnerability. The keystone is currently at a power level where further mana investment is still worthwhile. The mana granted was very high, especially at lower levels. The mana bonuses granted by the passive skills behind this keystone have been reduced. We didn't want to change what made the Slayer the Slayer, but were okay with it taking a small hit, given its dominance over the 3.0.0 ladders. Brutal Fervour was identified as a problem, moreso after the changes to Vaal Pact, as it was the next-closest thing to instant leech.
Hematophagy and Vitality Void now only grant +3% to Maximum Life Leech Rate (from +5%).Īs a result of the changes to Vaal pact, other sources of leech were also examined. The Brutal Fervour Ascendancy Skill no longer grants Maximum Life Leech Rate. It now fills a different role to its previous one and acts as a way for you to avoid some of the downsides of the Vaal Pact Keystone The keystone is still powerful, but now really benefits from investment in leech.Ītziri's Acuity has been changed to instead grant Vaal Pact if you've performed a critical strike recently, giving it a slightly different use when compared with the Vaal Pact keystone. This was one of the most heavily-requested nerfs in the history of Path of Exile. Vaal Pact has been changed to no longer grant instant leech, but instead doubles your character's leech rate and maximum leech rate.
#PATH OF EXILE WIKI PROJECTILE PATCH#
Of course, there are plenty of buffs in 3.1.0 as well, but we'll leave those as pleasant surprises in tomorrow's full patch notes.īeing able to leech instantly meant that many threats were completely mitigated by high-damage fast-hitting characters with minimal leech investment. In today's manifesto, we have highlighted and explained most of the significant nerfs in 3.1.0. Unfortunately, patch notes are not the best way to communicate these nerfs, because their format and information density makes it hard to include sufficient explanation. As developers, we're not afraid to nerf game elements that are too powerful and are harming Path of Exile.
