I really want to play the new Gathering Storm & Tempest Bell combo, but it has been bugged since launch. The bells don't blow up even when you hit it with a perfectly timed Gathering Storm.
And before anyone says that I missed the perfect timing window, I am using Window of Opportunity III, which gives the little green buff on the top right whenever I do land a perfect timing. Please fix 😢 @pathofexile@kiwijuicing
The Genesis Tree looks extremely powerful and I wouldn't be surprised if it is the most popular league mechanic during the first few weeks. Being able to get these powerful accessories deterministically is insanely strong!
I definitely see this as the best way to get accessories going forward - especially with so much crafting power being removed from the game and the fact that you can't socket runes into most accessories for the new meta crafting systems.
Can't wait for league launch!
🌳 The Genesis Tree is your key to crafting powerful items, currencies, and build-defining upgrades in Path of Exile 2: Return of the Ancients.

New Tree looks pretty insane. HUGE buffs to most things outside of Energy Shield. Here is my TLDR of the New Tree:
Buffs
- HUUUUUGE Evasion/Armour Defense Buffs
- Slight buffs to Armour/ES
- Slight buffs to Armour
- Slight buffs to Evasion
- Deflection Major Buffs
- New Companion Nodes (but kinda not good enough)
- Slight Block Buffs
- Recoup Buffs
Nerfs
- Subterfuge Mask (50% Nerf)
- ENORMOUS ES Recharge Nerfs
- Slight Nerfs to Top end of Crit-based Dmg on Monk Tree
?????
- New Puppet Master Buff Tag
- Archon of Undeath
- Eldritch Battery Rewording?
- Unbreakable Armour Cluster???? OMEGALUL
The Way of the Stonefist Ascendancy node looks completely insane! Some of those gloves in the video look completely illegal!
I can’t wait to league start this!
Is this a nerf to Hollow Palm? If so, I would be very sad :(
Sure it's a bug, but the damage for the playstyle was already much lower than Quarterstaff, so this would likely put Hollow Palm even deeper in unplayable territory in the end game if the new damage numbers are overall lower than the old ones.
Spent some time with my boys DEADRABB1T and 787Prada to make a list of what we think GGG will Buff and Nerf in Patch 0.5. Let's see how many of these come true! (remember these are predictions, not what we want to get nerfed/buffed).
Note* This was made before the Gemling & Chronomancer Teaser.
The Gemling changes to quality look insanely powerful! It's essentially giving every single skill an extra socket... As long as these new quality effects are good, Gemling might be crazy strong!
Chronomancer though...🤷♂️ I feel like GGG doesn't quite know what to do with the class.
Ascendancy balance changes are coming to Return of the Ancients.
⏱️ Chronomancer gains new notables
💎 Gemling Legionnaire now receives additional effects from Skill Gem quality.
Check out the changes in the video below!
