Path of Exile 3.17 - Balance Manifesto Thoughts - Siege of the Atlas - No Determination Nerfs? - POE

#POE #PathOfExile #Archnemesis Welcome to spoiler season! Key takeaways: Determination is still so good that you must use it (and Defiance Banner) on all characters Selfcast spells getting buffed hard, mostly neutral changes to other forms of spellcasting (triggered spells, etc) Spell Totem nerfed, especially Frostbolt Hierophant Bow attack builds should require less gear to start Added Cold/Lightning/Chaos supports slightly worse at low gear level and MUCH worse at high gear level March of the Legion is being redesigned and will no longer be god tier No announced changes to Brittle? This surprised me. Missed the first week of teasers? Here's my Week 1 recap vid.    • Path of Exile 3.17 - Spoiler Season Week 1...   0:00 Intro 0.33 High level overview 1:28 What's Not Being Changed 2:30 Hit-based Spellcasting Overhaul (this is a buff) 5.20 Still the spellcasting overhaul, this is just the point in the vid where birds outside my window can be heard 7:55 Individual Spell Changes 10:00 Spell trigger nerf numbers (Spell Totem, Arcanist Brand and Trap Support hit hardest, others are stronger than 3.16) 12:25 Soul Mantle nerf (gutting) 13:04 Cospri, Poet's Pen and Mjolnir (nerfed but still FINE) 13:25 Trap changes (buffs to dedicated trap skills) 17:42 Itemization changes: Cast Speed 18:50 Threshold Jewels changes 20:00 Orb Of Storms changes (this is probably a buff) 21:58 Ignite changes (not the Detonate Dead nerf that's later) 22:43 Bow changes (buffs to itemization on bows and quivers) 25:22 The new mastery all bow attackers should level with 25:42 Quiver base changes. Doomfletch Prism loves these quiver changes. 26:08 The Nerfed Supports (Added Cold/Lightning/Chaos Support - these are now mediocre at low investment, awful at high) 28:35 Flat damage to spells from weapons buffed hard (35%, this stacks with the increases to damage effectiveness numbers) 29:39 Hydrosphere 30:07 Marks 32:06 Not the change Fortification needed, but a step in the right direction 33:57 Detonate Dead Ignite nerfs. Still may be the best build, will be less fun to play. Vaal Detonate Dead still very strong. 35:37 Seismic Trap nerf isn't a gutting 36:19 Toxic Rain: -17% damage, still solid to strong, no longer uber 36:48 March of the Legion 37:35 Blood Magic/Mortal Conviction changes (these impact builds without Mortal Conviction) 39:14 Immortal Build fixes 39:45 Changes to Perfidy and Voidfletcher Official announcements thread: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/vie...
