Ray class is a cursed land. You'd have to be mad to settle here. Hi, Zin here with another video, and this is about a 3.25 patch in WoW. Okay, so this might be a long TLDR. I'll try to keep it as short as I can and just do like Cliff Notes, but just wow. This is going to be just about the video announcement they did. This is not going to be about the patch notes. There will probably be roughly a 40-minute TLDR, 30-minute TLDR of the patch notes because this is, well, an insane patch. So I want to start off just by showing the bingo sheet I made. I had so many things I wanted to predict that I made a longer one, but we got melee buffs. Their every melee skill is massively buffed. Recombinator are back. Everybody said this was my copium sheet, but Recombinator are back. Detate dead was nerfed massively. The whole like you're able to have specters in your

corpse pool completely gone um, which is a huge part of its damage, and it's it's multi- nerfed. It's super dead so you can play it in The Gauntlet now and there will be a gauntlet this thing. The it is a circle mechanic we do run in circles. Chris Wilson was at the start of the video. CLE got buffed cuz every melee skill got buffed. There are new scarabs. Raider is deleted so uh, we have a new class now. Uh, Gladiator huge rework. There's a boat new base skills. There is like new um retaliate skills. Path of EXL 2 was mentioned because you can sign up to the beta now. Stig Revenant are nerfed. Uh, melee totem reworked. They're gone. Um, tier 17's have been reworked and supposed to be easier now. There are two new bosses. There are three actually. And since dra got buffed, it does not look enough to like really make it worth playing though like it'll be a good

thing for people that already like it, but I don't know if it's something I'm going to be like, Oh, Ed is back kind of jam. But we'll see. Adoran got nerfed. It is now between zero and 100% instead of 50 and 150. Um, s of Katon is basically the Le, and Bleed got buffed. After going through my Binger sheet, let's talk a little bit about the announcement. We are getting. They basically said, Hey, we heard you like games, so we put a game in your game so you can game while you game. We got a City Builder, a huge City Builder where you gather resources and you upgrade the town. And there are resources for each settlement. Uh, they have different mechanics from previous leagues like Scourge nodes, Candra nodes, Pled nodes, and there's just loads of stuff here. You can send boats together for you, send NPCs to farm for you. So this is a huge uge snc for leftover Maps, which I'm really excited for. We use gold to interact with the mechanics, so they are

adding gold to the game as a test and uh the gold is also going to be used for the auction house. That we are getting. It's really cool because I've always said the only way auction house would work in peee is if we had gold. They're not about to introduce gold. Well, here we are. So actually exciting cuz this is the way I would like to see it. Uh and something I've generally been against because I didn't know how you would attack in Path of Exile. Well, no you can and it is auto pickup and you use this to hire workers in Your settlement. It's used for resps. Now I'm assuming regrets still work because imagine if you need to Respec and you can't buy it off other players. Um so I guessing we have two ways to resp now and the auction house is not something you actually need to do the mechanic to interact with and you can anything that is stackable sells on the auction else there are new resources for crafting and trading so we can disenchant things and it seems like the

rarer something is, the more stuff we'll get from disenchanting, and that takes time, so it's not like you have to pick up every shitty item to disenchant. Uh, there is a lot of time gating in this. Now, a lot of people have asked me because I've generally been against time gating in most games, but I'm against time gating in games where it's a paid mechanic. Um, the reason I'm so against time gating is because what ends up happening is like, well, you have to wait an hour, or you can pay 50 cents to accelerate it, whereas in this case, there's no paid mechanic at all because this is Path of Exile, and the only form of monetization that has any pay-to-win to it is the stash tabs. Um, so here, I don't mind, especially because we know that Neon plays so much. I have him added as a friend, and I always end up seeing like he has a crazy amount of challenges early league, and I think this

is so healthy for the game. And like he said on the announcement, he was like, Yeah, I was getting really frustrated. I was screaming. So I was like, Let's just make this better. I was like, Oh my God, so refreshing, so nice. Theon is based. And yeah, you also seem to use gold for ships, which you can send them on short missions, on long missions. And it looked like some of the long missions brought back insane amounts of loot. So you kind of get to choose, kind of like scav junk box in, or like the, yeah, sending your scabs out in Tarov. Kind of cool, honestly. It's just overwhelming how much stuff we got. For me, this is the best announcement. I think only PoE2 tops this. But best PoE1 announcement. This is better than when we got 10A, in my opinion. There's not really many downsides. It just all looks super cool. The only thing I don't like is banners, but we can talk about that during the patch notes. Crafting gets a new Rune system.

it's basically reverse legendary Potential from last Epoch. Instead of being able to put rare items inside uniques, you're able to take certain stats like one set at a time from unique and put it in a rare item. And it is like a curated list, so you can't do anything. Gladiator got a huge rework. Bleed and weapon noes both look great. Retaliation skills look really interesting for mapping. I don't know how they'll be for bossing. Raider see you Warden is the new class, and it's like a master of element as bark skin tinctures are back and are different. I don't like the look of tinctures, but you know as with anything we've really got to try it to see how it is. Um, I am very worried about tanking on not the left side of the tree because the main way we would tank before would be converting physical damage Tak to Elemental, but we can no longer do that, and that is going to be really rough. I think a lot of builds will feel forced.

to use a lightning coil to make armor more potent. Um, and lightning coil is almost the only case of physical damage conversion we have, so yeah, but obviously having a lightning coil on will double your armor. Um, we might see people doing iron reflexes, but having no evade at all is quite rough, so honestly, I'm a little bit concerned. I do feel that a little bit as a hardcore player forced to start melee. Um, the main form of Defense we're going to have is endurance charge stacking, and that has been buffed because it is actually Elemental damage reduction as well, so I do think our defenses are a little more limited this time, which I was a bit surprised at, but honestly, it's just so refreshing that there's so many changes now. Yeah, I think you're going to see a lot of people doing 90 max, 10 or 8 urine charges, things like on Hardcore, plus one urine charge corruption is going to be huge, and we do get better armor base types now, so we will get access to more armor.

than before. And also, you'll feel less forced to rely on the termination because that is nuked in half. Impale got buffed, War R got changed and mostly buffed. I'm not a huge fan of the way new War Cry SP seismic looked really cool. The seismic cry huj we know banners, they're awful. The only usable Banner is the um, the War Banner, uh, that does damage because the other banners have conditional defense like, oh, you'll gain more block for 6 seconds or however long it is or oh, you'll gain more suppression, but there's no point in the game, whether I was softcore or hardcore, that I want to sit at 50% suppression and go to 100 when I place my banner. You never really want conditional defense in this game. It's yeah, like it's one thing to have like a conditional Molon shell or something, but yeah, I'm not a big fan of the other banners. That's one of the only things I don't like this league, but you know, so insanely much positive stuff.

I don't really care. Rage has been changed for melee. Now, the huge loss of attack speed across the board is a little bit dangerous. Like, yeah, we have gained a lot of damage and a lot of cool stuff, but the attack speed loss could be really scary. But in general, it does look like a buff for most things. I do think Bone Zone car was say was being nerfed, but we'll see how everything ends up. In Po bleed is reworked, we now have a aggravated stat which lets you force monsters to move, which looks really great for the end game. Magic find is gone, and if you've been watching my suggestion videos and things I want to see in Path of Exile, this is something I've put in several of them. I was saying, why don't you just remove Quant and just keep Rarity? So, I'm so excited about this change. The reason this is a good thing and why people are celebrating it is you often feel forced to do Quant magic finding. It's so

incredibly potent, and the gear isn't that interesting 'cause it was always on uniques. So this is great, most people are happy about this, really, really good, and honestly, so many of these changes, um, were things that I had in suggestion videos. I'm, I'm so excited, like not saying that they necessarily listen to the videos and it because of that, but you know, it's things I wanted, so I'm really excited. They also did a 1,000 life coms heart, which is funny 'cause I was even talking, um, the day before, I was like, I'm surprised they haven't made, uh, coms 1K life yet 'cause even if it was, it wouldn't be top 10 best chests. There are new scarabs, so that is very, very exciting. It's going to be cool to see how they work. A lot of the really op egregious ones were nerfed, so good, very excited for that. We do have a six-map sloth device now, uh, this will give you more access to different forms of

scarabs and more combos. Very very cool. And you'll unlock the five-map Sal device earlier because now you can unlock it at Maven and tier 17s. You can scry maps to div card swap. So if you have like, like, said to see, you really want to run Beach, but you want the div card from another map, you can actually do that through the sear. Uh, not only does he offer unique items, but you can actually move, um, div cards. So that's very cool. Affliction boss is back, but it does not drop that which was taken. It is now that which was taken from us and send show up in maps. That is not where you get recombinator. That is through the city mechanic. Cander do show up. They are mirrored, so I don't think they can be recommon, but, um, you can now either get a random ring and choose one or, uh, you can put in your own and hope that it doesn't break or and goes insane. The amulet from Heist. Those are going to be insanely.

expensive this thing. There are new chisel that will, you know, change like you want more div cards. Do you want more, um, currency, etc.? So there are new chisel, and they work differently. Now they are 20 quality on white Maps, 10 quality on yellow maps, and five quality on red Maps. You don't have to roll them while they're white anymore, so that's really cool. Really like that. There's no reason to scour Maps anymore. Uh, I mean, you still want to scour out tier 17 maps. Can be rolled with vs and chisels. They can't remove implicits, and you can still roll them with chaos. Um, I'm really worried about tier 17 maps 'cause I do feel like we are losing defense, and they only got a 30% damage reduction. However, they did say that a lot of the monsters that were insane have been rebalanced, so hopefully that's fine. 30% less damage and like 50% less life. You can now control-click stacks of currency into your stash.

could do this into uh trades before, but we could not do it into our stash so huge. Like, honestly, they really cooked with this one. I have never been so impressed. I don't know, I feel like there's been quite a lot of like intros where I've been like, eh, but now I'm just all on the POG train. I'm drinking the Kool-Aid, honestly. Maybe it's like they were ning me with grave graveyard crafting, and they were like, you know, I really didn't like last leag, so I just, I was primed to be hyped and excited. This looks so good, and I got to say, watching the $40 expansion presentation from Blizzard right before this, where they spent the 30 minutes of the start just talking about lore and like really things I did not care about was wild, compared to just seeing this presentation where they're like, we did all this stuff, enjoy. Um, wild, absolutely insane what they can accomplish in such a short time. This is literally a game in your game so you can

game while you game. Either way, let me know what you think. What were you excited for? What were you not excited for? Thanks for watching. Sub if you like the video, but more importantly, try to die less than I do. [Music]
