Path of Exile Dev Tracker

We're now in the second week of Legion and we're still really pleased to see how much people are enjoying the new content. We want to keep you in the loop about what we're working on and what to expect this week so we've prepared a news post that addresses some community concerns and outlines our update coming later this week.

This Week's Patch
We currently have a patch scheduled for Thursday that should include our next batch of improvements and bug fixes. These are still subject to change as we continue development and testing but below are some of the high priority issues we expect to address in this update:

• Legion Monsters cannot be frozen and corpses cannot be destroyed once slain.
  
• Players not getting Fortify if they Shield Charge with a wand.
  
• Bladestorm's initial hit do...

In Path of Exile: Legion, we introduced five new jewels that can alter the keystones on your Passive Skill Tree in powerful and interesting ways. One of our game designers, Hrishi, spent a lot of time developing these jewels and has shared his thoughts about this process with us in a three part news series. We hope you enjoy this first entry! We'll share entry two next week.

Hrishi's Introduction
I love keystones. They might be among my favourite things in Path of Exile. To me, they represent one of the strongest aspects of Path of Exile's build diversity. Being stunned by the possibilities they offered is one of my earliest memories of this game as a player, long before I started working with Grinding Gear Games. I can still remember loading up the wiki while my game was downloading back in beta, navigating to the Chaos Inoculation pa... Read more

As part of changes to make early game combat more active, we're introducing the new Steelskin skill, and are changing Molten Shell and Immortal Call. In our lead-up to Legion's launch, we wanted to reveal more information about these skills and how they work!

Steelskin is a new defensive skill which is available very early in the game. It instantly hardens your skin, granting a damage barrier that absorbs 70% of all damage taken. It has a maximum amount of damage that it can absorb, which increases as the gem levels. It only lasts a few seconds, and has a short cooldown, so you'll need to time your use of the skill to protect you from dangerous enemy attacks.

Steelskin is one of three Guard skills, alongside Molten Shell and Immortal Call. These skills are all Instant and share a cooldown which won't expire while any of the skills are ac... Read more

It's been almost a week since we announced Path of Exile: Legion! We've enjoyed reading all the hype and speculation and noticed a few common questions popping up. We've decided to collect some of these and answer them in one handy place.

When can we expect the changes to the Map Tab that specifically help Standard users? We expect to deploy these changes before 3.7.0 launches. We don't have a specific date lined up yet but will let you know when we do.


Do the new Legion Jewels change the passive skills within the radius of the jewel on the Passive Skill Tree, or just the Keystone? We're careful to tease these in a way that helps you understand their potential over time, but we can confirm that at least one of the Legion Jewels does change every single passive within the radius.


When can we see ch... Read more
