Overexertion support says it cannot support Vaal skills but what about Vaal skills that can be exerted, such as Vaal Ground Slam?

Vaal Ground Slam has a special exception where it can be supported by Overexertion.

Private Leagues for Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur are now available!

Those of you who are planning to play in a Private Settlers League at launch are now able to create them beforehand. Click here to set up your Private League (don't forget to double check the start time of your league upon creating)! Please note that you won't be able to participate in these events until they officially launch on July 26th (PDT).

Does aura effect increase the damage reduction on Flesh and Stone?

Aura effect scales the extra damage in Blood Stance, but not the damage reduction in Sand Stance (as that is an effect of the buff on you, not the aura).

Can we get clarification on Flesh and Stone's scaling with distance?

Enemies within 1.5 metres of you receive the full effect, then it scales linearly down to nothing at the edge of the area. Increasing the AoE of the aura doesn't change the 1.5 metre distance for maximum effect, only the interpolation.

Is it intended that the ailment damage penalty previously shown on Eviscerate is no longer present?

Yes

Can Retaliation skills be Exerted?

No, the reminder text for exertion reads "(Vaal Attacks, Channelling Attacks, Retaliation Attacks, and Attacks which Repeat cannot be Exerted)"

Is the cluster jewel mod 'Added Small Passive Skills also grant: 3% increased Attack and Cast Speed with Physical Skills' now unusable with most melee skills since they lost their 'Physical' tag?

Yes, deal with it.

How does Lightning Conduit interact with the multiple shocks from Warden's Oath of Spring?

It removes all of the shocks, and calculates damage based on their combined magnitude.

How do the multiple shocks from Oath of Spring interact with normal shocks applied by other players or minions?

The shock from the other source will always apply since it's bigger than any of your Oath of Spring shocks. You can then have up to 49 Oath of Spring shocks active on the enemy on top of that.

Can Tinctures have quality?

Yes, and Glassblower's Baubles can now apply quality to Tinctures as well as Flasks. Tinctures gain 1% more effect per quality.

Will autoexerted warcries still cost mana?

Yes.

In the Settlers of Kalguur expansion, we’ve introduced several new Skill and Support Gems and made some changes to existing ones. As usual we’ve prepared the gem data at level 20 with 20% quality for all new and changed gems to help you theorycraft your builds for the upcoming launch.

Below are all the new and changed gems in Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Is the Banner mastery to make enemies take 8% increased damage supposed to scale with the Banner aura itself?

No, we plan to change this as it was not intended to scale with aura effect or with Valour. We'll update the patch notes to reflect this change.

To help you get ready for the launch of Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur, we’ve prepared all the Item Filter Information you need in this news post.

If you're not sure what to do with this information, don't worry! We'll update Path of Exile's built-in item filter alongside the launch of Settlers of Kalguur.

Does each banner have its own Valour count or is it shared?

Shared, it's a counter on your character rather than on a specific skill.

Does the Banner mastery that grants Valour when you Warcry work with triggered Warcries (e.g. from Autoexertion)?

Yes.

Does the new Perfect Agony prevent effects that spread ailments (e.g. Ignite Proliferation, Pathfinder's Master Toxicist) from functioning?

No, they still function as normal as they are not inflicted by hits at all.

With quality on weapons and armour being changed to be multiplicative, have the Harvest enchantments that change the effects of quality also been changed to be multiplicative?

No, these enchantments have not received any changes.

How much damage do I need to inflict Shock when I have Warden's Oath of Spring node? How does it interact with increased effect or additional maximum effect of shock?

Oath of Spring does not change the minimum amount of damage required to shock an enemy.

The 2% shock effect value is an override and your stats can't modify it further. Increased shock effect does allow you to apply this shock with smaller hits.

How does the new t17 'monsters fracture on death' map mod work?

When a rare monster dies it has a 25% chance to fracture. When this happens it will fracture into a magic monster for each of the modifiers it had. So a 4 mod rare would become 4 magic monsters with one of those mods each.
