Season or Standart?

My job got really busy so I couldn't play the game for about 6 months. Since I'm back I wanna try a new character but idk if a new season is planned soon. Should I chill in standart and wait for the new season or start grinding in this season? Also did I miss any huge changes in the last 6 months? Whats the state of the game?

Burning Reflect Tank - Armour of Ice and Fire

Guys, Thorns Sucks. Every Thorns build I've tried to build disappointed me. But, my quest to make an endgame viable reflect tank has finally paid dividends. Behold... **ARMOUR OF ICE AND FIRE.** It's a Titan that uses Arctic Armour as it's main clearing skill, with Chernobog's Pillar and Trampletoe. As demonstrated above, all I have to do is walk into a crowd and they all explode in an AOE explosion. Obviously, this build owes a lot to u/cironoric and his [Level 38 Arctic Armour](https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1khft62/video_of_level_38_arctic_armour_trampletoe/). But, I modified the build, reducing damage and dramatically increasing defenses. I did this by replacing the focus with Chernobog's Pillar, which adds a HEFTY chunk of Fire Damage that scales with block chance. In the current iteration, I have good Armour, ES, and Block. And I still have several levels/room to improve power with better gear. I use Frost Bomb as my alternative clearing skill for enemies that don't proc AA. Bossing has been on the weaker side, so I'm experimenting using a second weapon set for ignite. All that elemental damage and Chernobog help that setup too. The build really comes alive when in the middle of a large enemy pack when I can just active block and repeatedly nuke the screen. PURE. DOPAMINE.

Balbala fight, not sure if this is a bug or intended?

Hey I just encountered the balbala fight (or w/e she is called in maps) on a character i just got to end game and she summoned infinite adds lol i thought you were supposed to walk or roll over the rune to prevent the spawn, but the middle portion of the rune is solid and you can't walk through it as if there is an enemy there, and i guess that prevents me from making it go away? I survived like 10 minutes but couldnt deal much damage as there were too many adds, but ended up being overwhelmed by the approximately 40-50 ghost dudes I figured it was a bug or something and went again, but yeah nah she ended up with 20 or so adds pretty quick, i couldn't make them stop spawning. is this a bug? cause if its not im unsure of how to kill her. im still relatively new to poe so i dont know if bosses are sometimes different in maps or not.
