12/30/2023 0 Comments Poe blight release dateDefinitely a change for the better-Delves in particular are far more fun when you're binging on them. Instead of having to do them as they're assigned, you can now save them up to complete when you feel like it. Lastly, Grinding Gear is making a few tweaks to how the endgame's optional daily side-missions (Delves, Incursions and other previous leagues) work. There's some new types of mines to play with as well, if you just want to cover the battlefield with explosives. Now thrown faster and further, mines can activate each other, and the longer a chain of explosions, the more powerful it becomes. Mine Saboteurs have been given a rework too, right down to how mines work. They're also returning to Poison Assassin characters, previously nerfed, with five new skills to pick from, a new support gem, and some tweaks to return them to their glory days. The Carrion Golem, for example, provides buffs to other undead friends, and is buffed in turn. They've also rebalanced the Necromancer ascendancy class, letting players specialise in a wider range of minion types, along with a whole new minion. Summoners are feeling the love this time, with a trio of new support gems allowing you to give Attack, Defend or Focus orders to your swarm of zom-buddies and skellington pals. Of course, this wouldn't be a PoE update without them making some tweaks to what's already there. Oils harvested from Blights can be combined to augment your jewelry with special properties. The Blight league extends all the way into the Atlas Of Worlds endgame, with some endgame Blights fully overgrown with monster-spawning tendrils, making them rich sources of loot. The potential for oddball character builds using cherry-picked perks from all over the skill tree is high, if you can harvest and blend the right oils. On top of the usual range of new gear, the maddest loot-hoarders can hunt for a full set of unique Blight gear which can be anointed with extra skills similar to amulets. Two oils on a ring provides buffs to your tower defending abilities (a purely additive upgrade), and combinations of three oils anoints an amulet with a "notable" passive skill from the maze-like passive grid-even ones your character wouldn't otherwise be able to access. Every tendril that you successfully defend against spawns a treasure chest at the end of the encounter, and the fungal extractor spits out a variety of special oils that Sister Cassia can use to anoint your jewelry. Why do all this? Loot and experience, naturally. (Image credit: Grinding Gear Games)Įvery tendril that you successfully defend against spawns a treasure chest at the end of the encounter. As Blight encounters get more complex, you'll have to deal with more tendrils at once.īlights create tendrils on the ground that monsters travel along, and towers can be placed to damage and slow them down. The goal is to stall and weaken them using towers so that you can dash in to finish them off. But there's just too many fronts to handle yourself, so you get to place a variety of damage-dealing and ailment-inducing towers along the tendril-paths the monsters travel along. You'll still run around like a mad thing, hacking up monsters as quickly as possible. Talking to Grinding Gear head Chris Wilson, he explained that this is still Path Of Exile first and tower defense second. This process doesn't take long-just a minute or two per bloom-but waves of monsters will rush along sprawling fungal tendrils to stop you. The latest plague to hit the cursed continent of Wraeclast is a fungal infection, and the only cure (according to new NPC Sister Cassia) is to attach a big siphon to the fungal cysts to squeeze out their mushroom oils. In the upcoming Blight league, players will find a small tower defense mission in every zone.
