POE 1 3.26 Teasers: PATCH NOTES. Hexblast Dead... What Other Builds Survive? Path Of Exile 1 Day 12

#pathofexile #poe #secretsoftheatlas POE1's 3.26 is going to shake up the meta, with the usual suite of buffs and nerfs. Which builds from 3.25 will do well, which will not - and what got buffed to the point it might be worth considering now? I did a very long stream on the patch notes when they came out; it's at https://youtube.com/live/no_i1lWs_yY 0:00 Intro 0:35 3.25's Most Popular Builds Early On, As Well As Late 0:59 The Hexblast Mines Change Came Late (an hour or so after patch notes went up) 1:10 More Patch Notes Coming (mostly not build changes but there may be cold spellcaster changes) 1:35 The Builds That Were Good Early In Settlers 1:45 Ice Nova of Frostbolt Hierophant. Nerfed hard; survives in a new form (Ball Lightning of Orbiting). 2:31 RF Chieftain. Very minor nerfs (Fire Trap bad ground). Remains a good choice if (and ONLY if) you are running certain Atlas strats. Good beginner choice. 4:24 Lightning Strike - Slayer version. Still playable, loses Ralakesh boots. Probably uses different supports now. 6:16 Molten Strike of the Zenith Strength Stacker - Still playable but nerfed really hard. Only recommended if you love the playstyle. 7:20 Lightning Strike - Trickster version. This needs complete overhauls; it's still fine, but Ephemeral Edge is probably dead. May want to go crit now. More on this when talking general Trickster later. 9:17 The Builds That Were Good Later In Settlers (on bad gear) 10:02 Power Siphon - Locus Mines builds. Nerfed ~34%, was so good that it's still strong very early in progression. Still strong early in progression but you want to respec earlier 12:04 More On Power Siphon. Rolling Wands. 13:28 More On Trickster (General, not LS specific) - Polymath Nerf, Escape Artist Nerf. Ascendancy is still FINE. 15:46 Hexblast Mines - completely DELETED, interaction no longer works. Can selfcast Hexblast Ignite be made to work? My intuition is that 2 seconds is too slow, 1.2 or 1.3 might have worked. 19:57 A bunch of skills that dodged nerfs 20:10 Frost Blades of Katabasis - DELETED as a hit skill 20:39 So That's The Big Losers - what are the winners? 20:57 Guardian Ascendancy - big buffs, two awful nodes replaced with good ones; also can possibly use the Spellslinger buffs - maybe non-DOT Exsanguinate that's converted to lightning? 23:15 Elementalist Ascendancy - huge golem buffs, both to the ascendancy and to the golems themselves 30:13 Winter Orb - big buffs 30:30 Storm Burst Totems - huge damage boost on an already good build 31:22 Recap Day 0 (Expansion Name And Date Reveal): https://youtu.be/lA1N8ZOIcRc Day 1 (Pausing): https://youtu.be/UtV6A03EFlk Day 2: No video (GGG put out POE2 news instead) Day 3 (Horizon orb buffs, map storage): https://youtu.be/0X7Rz2JAQAc Day 4: Johnathon Rogers interview (just the POE1 bits covered in this): https://youtu.be/FAVi9_KVNO0 Day 5 (Betrayal changes): https://youtu.be/u6YazL8Njgk Days 6 and 7 - no video Day 8 (Veiled Chaos Orb back, Veiled Orb renamed Veiled Exalt, Shaper and Elder Exalts Added): https://youtu.be/sHPTCCOJz-s Day 9 (very short vid on benchcraft QoL): https://youtu.be/aH7X42e_HM0 Day 10 (Twitch promo, Essence/Strongbox QOL, future of Kingsmarch): https://youtu.be/5uKOATfngxA Day 11 (more on Kingsmarch, lots of minor QoL that adds up): https://youtu.be/533q7dfvH9w Day 12 (Winners and Losers from Patch Notes): https://youtu.be/KqIbolmfnVI Join as a channel member to help fund the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1SoHjGhDqK6h980sYsXjhg/join I've started streaming on Twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/sirgog will take you there.
