AMAZING CHANGES! - Zizaran and  

The economic shakeup ALONE with changes to meta crafting costs is enough to get excited for. This is a big and unpredictable change.

IM FUCKING HYPED

+1

@@alistairbolden6340 facts. Skip.

Hyped for all but the divine/exalt change

i love how generic new trickster is like i dont care how good it is but i wanna start with either penance brand or BV just because i can sure its not as powerful as other ascendancies probably but fuck it i can do a tanky es trickster now

Theres a cap on how far negative you can go: -200% It was added after scourge since that league also had some crazy negatives you could get to.

@@kaldeathar3462 Oh, well I will say then that this actually still is quite a buff to that because you no longer have to take a ton of sockets that lower ALL resistances and then make up for them elsewhere, being able to just drop 2 ring stat slots in and your - Lightning REs is done is super insanely good

If they drop 1c they going to be irrelevant.

@@jackzera7356 lmao, no one runs delve or heist for the drops from the rares. Stop being so pessimistic

@@davidpowell3469 well sure, but that's because sentinel didn't go core, not because they're reducing the number of rares in map content

Sadly, GGG forsaw this, and you can't recombinate mirrored items on standard once this patch hits.

@@brentc6380 good lmao

@@peregrinefalconator why is that good

@@princegobi5992 Because it would be absolutely broken

@@Yomush that's the point of standard. Have all the broken legacy shit for the people who care....

That's called a hybrid mod. Which will be nice for minion crafting

Who does kek

@@The_Aleph_Null :(

In the live stream Chris mentioned that melee in POE2 feels much better. Sort of sounded like we might not get much til then haha

@@P.J.M yeah, of course it will be better :)

@@P.J.M sure it does bro. . .

I stopped doing Harvest because it's just so disruptive to the game's flow to suddenly bring your mapping to a screeching halt to micromanage crafting stuff. This is no longer a concern.

yeah, oops in Q&A was funny. And sad at the same time.

The Warlord's Lieutenant and I are going to be really close friends. Hope he keeps cheering me on, even if I have failed miserably for hours... All about that emotional support!

they did.

Welp, ill see yall next league

@@kenpoleshuck3262 but sunder tho .. maybe .. maybe it's not so bad?

@@serakayle7903 Thats the problem i have, if you arent running ground slam, you are running tectonic Slam, Sunder, Earth Shatter, Bone Shatter. They are just kinda blend together these days :\ I miss the days of beasting out Molten Strike

Well you also have to keep in mind rares will give you way more now and also rarity increases also currency drops now so we will see.

Hard to say, they might just swap values. I feel like exalts are almost never used for their intended purpose these days, but divines might still be used on high tier uniques, so they will be used for both meta crafting and their actual use.

@@aroace7913 “rares will give way more now” - drops 1 chaos orb in the video lol.

@@TOGGGAA1 First that is better than before, second rarity also affects the drops here.

@@TOGGGAA1 My same reaction. That is the loot 2.0. Rare monsters are rare, and drops 1c.

how you udnerstood this at all? You have 4-5 maps, which you need to roll separately. They just not picked up from your stash. That is like Kirac but targeted and rollable.

@@maksymisaiev1828 ow yhea me bad, i was tink you just roll 1 time a map and it carry over to all the maps in the chain

Yea pretty dumb haha

Harvest is going to be so ass now. GGG never makes sensible changes. You'll get a couple specific alchemy slams and a couple specific chaos rerolls. And you still won't exalt slam your items. Nobody wants 5 mana, just save the exalt for trading.

@@the_OG1893 you don't know what's going to be in harvest. My main usage of harvest was making good cluster jewels (by those alch / chaos crafts) and resistance swap crafts. Resistance craft is very useful - you no longer need a specific resistance on your equipment - just any resistance. Also infused kirac crafts might be a good dump for lifeforce. Infused ambush for example, better than regular 4c ambush. Or infused rampage.

Lacerate

We got those last league

@@princegobi5992 oh sadge

@zbroman z oh wow you should really think about what you just said the price of shit wont drop it will balance out using either more ex or just using divines instead which he implies in the video. as you just said to try sound smart, its basic economy.

It happens, I think i mostly get them when i'm playing a fast mapper, like deaths oath

Especially rough since divines have no shards, 1 div card and no recipe

they didnt reveal them in the stream. There will be patch notes

@@MydrecaNaPopa There wasn't any good buffs to old skills in patch notes either sadge. Just the manifesto copy pasted and unique item buffs.

Unique item buffs, also buffs certain builds and skills that could use them

@@voided_sun Uniques getting a buff is great, but they are as allways only good for very specific builds. And they might still be out preformed by rares. We will have to wait and see

u cant or u wont

It stacks up to 250% IAS and ICS lol

I feel like it's not that strong for meta build but it help off meta build that struggle with boss fight by a lot.

@@jeffreyfinney251 against bosses. That isn't on the same level as hateforge. I didnt say it was bad just that I think hateforge is a better item.

Depending on your skills and items, yeah. It's even pretty easy

@@chrs-wltrs how?

@@chrs-wltrs how?

up

how?

in terms of monster difficullty, sure but in terms of item acquisition, it will be much much harder. The changes of EX and Divine will be a net negative to the economy, make items much more expensive and lock out the people that just barely managed to use meta crafting out of it because of the increase in cost since Divine are much much harder to get now and are used for more than just Meta crafting like EX used to be. Think about it this way. EX managed to break 180c this league in price. And currently, they are *only* used for Meta crafting. Divines have only 1 incredible rare Divination card (EX have 6 or so), lost the Divine recipe, don't have splinters/shards while having not only Meta crafting locked behind them like EX used to but also stat rerolling on mods, making them even more needed. Divines are now multiple times harder to get than EX and are more useful then EX. This will at least double or tripple their price, if not more. Think about what this will do to the economy, crafting and item acquisition a bit

@@electricheart7965 Does GGG have any justification long-term goals with the change?

@@Disciple_of_Cthulhu they said that they wanted to make Unique rolls more exciting and crafting more accessible. Though, that statement contradicts with each other since the changes to the cost of meta crafting actually make it even less accessible and there are very very few use cases for raw EX as a crafting option. They could have just removed the Divine vendor recipe without changing the cost and that would have done the things they said they wanted to achieve. Who knows what their real intention is or if this was just a change without thinking about the consequences

That's what she said... :(

it shouldnt take that long after you know what mods are good and what are bad.

i almost always avoided harvest cuz i just wanted to map and harvest took too much time and kinda took me out of my flow
