Hi Bex!

Colorblind people have some major issues utilizing the oil system. Are there plans to make it easier to tell which oils are for which notable, without finding a list of oil recipes online?

Something like making the color show up when you hover over the image of the oil on the notable, or adding oil text to the notable at the bottom.

Is something like this in the works or something we can expect in the new patch?

I haven't heard anything about this but I will definitely raise the concern.

I've been leaving it flexible that's why I haven't announced it yet but tentatively it's as follows. (In USA time).

  • Sunday - Challenge rewards.
  • Monday - Balance Manifesto.
  • Tuesday - Patch Notes, Item Filter and Passive Tree Data.
  • Wednesday - 20/20 Gems (New and changed).
  • Thursday - Torrent/Launch information.

The patch notes day won't change but I think there's a tentative possibility the others could move around. For example, I am considering posting challenge rewards tomorrow to make room for something else on Monday but we will see what happens. I also ideally would like it if we released the crafting options on that Thursday but I can't confirm that just yet.

Are we getting slots in the currency/fragment/essence tabs for oils yet?

We've looked into that and unfortunately there isn't enough space in existing tabs to add everything that was introduced in recent leagues. We're looking at what we can do and should hopefully have more to announce about this a bit later.

new notable looks really useful!

where does this new oil fit in the oil tiering? is it above gold or somewhere in the middle?

It's in the middle.

There seem to have been some network issues affecting the Washington D.C. gateway. These look to have been resolved around 20 minutes ago. I'll keep an eye on the gateway in case they return.

Hey Bex. Do you have any news regarding the Malice Supporter back regarding the Malice Weapon effect only giving you 1 skin when using 2 1H swords?

Yes! It looks like we got it working and it should be in for launch.

In Path of Exile: Harvest, we've created a new category of skills called 'Slams'. We've introduced one new support and one new slam skill while several existing skills have been recategorised as Slams. Today's news post reveals which skills are now considered slams, how they've been improved and information about the new Slam called Earthshatter!

In general, we're looking to provide more support for two-handed playstyles and builds that hit slower but hit harder. These changes come alongside improvements to two-handed base types, more passive skill tree support, improvements to Warcries and more.

The Fist of War Support

Alongside our announcement of Harvest, we revealed the new Fist of War Support that works with all slams except Vaal Slams and Ancestral Warchief. Every few seconds an ancestor appe... Read more

Delayed patch notes is a win for reddit? Well, maybe I could... delay them... more... ?

In that case, would warriors using smite supported by generosity not grant the buff to yourself because they're still counting as self?

They are not "counting as self". That's not a thing. They are using your skill - if that skill is supported by Generosity, then auras from that skill can't affect you. That doesn't depend on who uses it.

If it's not supported by Generosity then I suspect the aura still won't affect you because they'll stop existing once they've used the skill.

That makes sense, thanks.

They use your skill, so Rallying Cry giving you a more damage buff will improve the damage of that skill.

I understand that to mean that they will consume your stack of exerted attacks. Is that correct?

Edit: sorry, I misunderstood "exert your next few attacks". I thought it was a limited number of attacks (which fit the slow but hard hitting theme) but from the videos it actually seems to be a time-limited buff.

Edit 2: The post actually specifies "(Note: we'll reveal what number of exerted attacks each Warcry creates closer to launch)". So my initial understanding was correct and the video just doesn't display that information.

No. Warcries only Exert attacks you perform. The warriors are the ones attacking, they are just using your skill to do it.

Do the Vaal double strike clones attack with the same support gems I'm using?

Yes. They are specifically using your Vaal Double Strike skill (but cannot create more doubles with it).

And are they snapshots of my current buffs etc. or are they affected by my buffs in real time?

They are using your skill. That skill updates as your stats change.

Hi Mark. Does Rallying Cry affect the warriors created by General's Cry?

Technically yes. They are allies, so will probably receive the buff, but that doesn't matter because they don't have any skills of their own which could benefit from improving their damage.

They use your skill, so Rallying Cry giving you a more damage buff will improve the damage of that skill This bit was unclear and confusing because I used the wrong terms. If an ally uses Rallying Cry, that gives you an added damage buff, which will affect your skills as used by the warriors. Rallying Cry never gives a more damage buff, it gives more damage to exerted attacks, which only applies to attacks you perform - Exerting isn't about the skills being yours, it's about you being the one using them.
