Last week we answered some of the community's Game Mechanics questions and since we couldn't cover them all we decided to answer some more! Check them out below!

How do player auras (e.g. Zealotry) interact with skills used by traps/mines? There appears to be a delay after a trap/mine triggers/detonates before the skill is fully 'affected' by the aura. This bug demonstrates the effect but how do trap/mine skills interact with player Auras to create this effect instead of just always being affected by the aura?

Traps and mines being affected by auras is a bug and will be fixed at some point. What's currently happening is that traps and mines are inherently hidden once armed, and effectively ... Read more

Today we've gathered a variety of Ultimatum Statistics that we're excited to show you. How often are people successfully completing each wave of an encounter? How many Mirrors of Kalandra were generated as rewards but missed out on? Are Stone Circle encounters noticeably more difficult than the others? Let's get to answering these questions and more!

As a preface, these statistics were gathered from all leagues combined on PC. We've separated the statistics out across three area level brackets, levels 2-72, level 73-77, and levels 78 and above. All of the following tables will have area levels 2 to 72 in the leftmost table, area levels 73 to 77 will be the centermost table and area levels 78 and above will be in the rightmost table.

First, let's take a look at the total number of Ultimatum encounter... Read more

Later on this week, we plan on deploying Patch 3.14.2 which includes a variety of fixes. To give you an idea of what to expect, we have prepared a preview of the patch notes for you!

Please note that the patch notes may be changed prior to their deployment.

• Added Increased Monster Area of Effect modifiers that can be used in Private Leagues.


• Changed the Hateforge unique gloves to allow them to affect Vaal attacks used by traps and mines again. While these mechanics bypass the intended restrictions of Vaal skills in a similar way to totems, those cases are less abusable now so we've temporarily restored the interaction between Traps, Mines, and Hateforge. This stat will return to preventing use with traps and mines again in 3.15.


• Fixed some calculation an...

Additional Information About Patch 3.14.1d

Earlier today we released Patch 3.14.1d which introduced a 'Clear Cache' button. We want to provide extra information about how this is best used along with an early report on the results of the patch.

The 'Clear Cache' button will clear out several temporary storage locations that Path of Exile uses for things like downloaded images and graphics shaders. After clearing cached shaders your client performance will be temporarily degraded while the client regenerates the shaders it needs. For this reason we re... Read more
