Vaal Rain of Arrows

• same changes as Rain of Arrows

• fire more arrows

• repeat its rain multiple times

• Replaced ‘Pin in Place’ with 75% Maim

Having a slow effect rather than preventing movement makes monsters more likely to keep trying to run at you, rather than just stopping and using any ranged attacks immediately. This makes the skill much more practical as crowd control.

Future Intentions

Over time we will be trying to breathe new life into underused older skills with additional mechanics or significant mechanical reworks to make them feel like brand new skills.

Skill themes that can give players a flavourful character style by picking skills that fit the theme. A good example of this is the new set of Corpse-based skills. Full complement of Volcanic attack skills that deal fire damage.

Enabling new styles of gameplay. This will include taking existing skills that don't see much use and giving them unique twists or mechanics that separate them from the rest.

• Elemental Equilibrium nerf

• Curse buff

New League

Is 3.3.0 an Expansion or League?

Our March release blurred the line between an expansion and a league (with a league alongside a significant Ascendancy revamp, introduction of the Uber Elder fight and new skills). We are pitching 3.3.0 in a similar way. It is branded as a league, but is certainly a large release compared to leagues of the past.

What's 3.3.0's League like?

• When designing 3.3.0's league, we wanted to reinforce the core of what makes Path of Exile fun to play: killing monsters, gaining experience and earning items in every area you enter.

• If you enjoyed leagues that involved a lot of monster-killing like Ambush and Breach, you'll certainly enjoy this one.
