Nothing about that indicates that you're going to get invulnerable lightning totems spit onto you. Especially something like "heralding minions". The name is not indicative of what the monsters do. Forget about me for a moment, what about new players? The Arch nemesis modifiers have many effects that come with one name. But at this point I've still forgotten a lot of the names. I leveled a character to 99 in Arch nemesis. The toxic mob chaos/poison on death effect has no auditory cue, and they move ludicrously fast.īack to the "not knowing the name thing". Especially in combination with regeneration, you've put hard DPS checks into the game that have never existed before. GGG, you finally removed all other sources of this type of mechanic, why add it back now? We hate it just as much now as we did in the past. Magma barrier spams orbs at you from off screen and you get bombarded before you realize what is happening. How about pathfinders? Their entire ascendancy is countered by that mod. Similarly, if you've made that choice to rely on a mana flask for sustain, and a rare drains your flask charges to zero, you die. The game has hard countered you and there's no escape from death. If you designed your character to not rely on a flask for mana sustain and you find yourself drained dry by a monster (a mechanic that previously didn't exist in the wild), especially if you're in an arena like a ritual. I don't recall what the names of the arch nemesis mods are (more on this later), but one of them drains mana and another drains flask charges. GGG reworked mana because they wanted it to be a fundamental part of character design that players had to solve. But mods that are essentially "hard counters" to a designed character which lead to certain death are just not cool. Update: We have deployed this patch as a serverside hotfix.ĭifficulty in terms of knowledgeable combat is one thing. Thanks for your continued feedback about this system, Sentinel League and the new endgame content! We'll keep you updated throughout the week with our thoughts. We'll also investigate the challenges that requires you to kill monsters with five Archnemesis mods. ![]() We don't intend to reduce the power of Headhunter as a result of this change. We're aware that this change is an implicit nerf to the Headhunter unique, so we will find a way to counter-buff in the next few days. In the future, we may make further changes to the number of Archnemesis modifiers spawning on monsters once we feel that they're individually in a really good place. Those will come after the weekend as we get more developers back in the office. To be clear, we're also going to keep applying functional and numeric changes to specific mods as needed. And the intense combos of 2+ mods won't be happening on every screen anymore (or at all in the early game). You'll still occasionally encounter modifiers that provide a bit of difficulty for your build, but it'll be far less often. With this change to a default of one modifier, the complexity and difficulty of rare monster fights will be lower. However, modern Path of Exile is pretty liberal with spawning rare monsters, and with a default of two modifiers each, these intense encounters were occurring far too often. And we are generally pretty happy with the difficulty of those particular encounters if they occur infrequently. Update: We have deployed this patch as a serverside hotfix.Īrchnemesis mods are designed so that certain pairs are very challenging to overcome. Now, they will default to one modifier, with a chance of having two or three. Previously, rare monsters you encountered generally had two Archnemesis mods, but could spawn with as many as three or four.
