GGG Comments in this Thread:

[Community_Team - link, old] - You'll still be able to get Vaal Gems from corrupting gems. We've added an update to the bottom of the post.

[Community_Team - link, old] - Yep, that's correct.

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - Players have 5 maximum blood charges. Totems and other monsters have zero maximum blood charges.

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - When I worked out I was going to have to rewrite all the code related to costs and reservations *anyway, I decided I wasn't gonna not get that change in...*

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - Spell Totem Support still replaces any reservation the skill has with a cost for when you use it. If the skill had both a reservation and a cost already, these...

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - Yes and Yes.

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - Yes. If you can get the cost to zero, you only need to worry about the reservation, and reservation doesn't require spending anything in 3.14

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - Arcane Cloak has a mana cost of zero. It will gain a life cost of zero. The effect of the skill is to spend some mana, but this is not...

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - Letting the totems gain charges would literally not do anything because they don't use their own skills, they use yours. It would only mislead players.

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - It is already correctly modified by flask effect modifiers.

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - All skills have costs, they just are sometimes zero - not having a cost just means the value of that cost is zero. Since Reap's base mana cost of zero...

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - It doesn't in 3.14. Prior to 3.14, all gems had *either a mana cost or a mana reservation, and it was fundamentally impossible to have both. Thus Archmage had to...*

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - Ah, whoops, I got that wrong. The supportability on Archmage in 3.14 is actually that it can support any skill without a reservation. While the cost part could technically apply...

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - "Supports spell skills that deal damage with hits and have no reservation. Cannot support Vaal skills, triggered skills, or skills used by totems, traps or mines. Cannot modify the skills...

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - No problem. Going and looking up the current text to copy-paste it here actually got me to notice and fix a typo in it, so this conversation has contributed to...

[Mark_GGG - link, old] - I do know whether that changed, yes.

PoB update with support for the new tree and some other bug fixes will be out in the next 24 hours. Someone can reply to this comment or make a post on how to use the new tree in PoB until we push our update

Falas-cz · 2021-04-13T23:19:53+00:00

> The "Allies Cannot Die" aura has been removed.

Madmen actually did it.

_hibernacle · 2021-04-14T00:07:01+00:00

A single item can now be unstacked from a stack of items on your cursor by pressing Shift + Left Click.

I'm ready to unstack resonators again

Also vaal ground slam looks insane if you use it in the last exerted attack

Vexor44 · 2021-04-13T23:28:20+00:00

Trigger a Socketed Spell when you Use a Skill, with a 8 second Cooldown (previously 4 seconds).

RIP.

SuperNerd1337 · 2021-04-13T23:27:36+00:00

> Vendors will no longer offer any scroll fragments in exchange for Perandus Coins.

biggest nerf, rip infinite wisdom scrolls

neohongkong · 2021-04-14T00:06:08+00:00

Percentage reservations are now stored with more precision internally, allowing them to have up to two decimal places in the percentage value, however the total amount of resources reserved must still be a whole number. This prevents some cases where small reductions in reservation values would have no effect due to rounding. As an example, if a skill reserves 50% of Mana, a modifier granting "1% reduced reservation" will now change the reservation to 49.5% Mana, where previously it would still be 50% due to the change not affecting the percentage by a whole number. However, it is still not possible to reserve less than 1 of something, so for a player with 100 Mana, that 49.5% reservation will still reserve 50 of it. For a player with 1000 Mana, 495 would be reserved.

thanks GGG

SpiderCVIII · 2021-04-13T23:32:43+00:00

Vaal Ground Slam

This Attack can now be Exerted as though it was not a Vaal Skill.

Hey Google, play Space Jam.

Realyn · 2021-04-13T23:29:02+00:00

The Bull Thorns skill used by Lieutenant of Rage in The Labyrinth and the Crusher of Gladiators in the Racecourse Map has been visually updated and no longer has Damage Reflection.

So uhm ... what does it do then? Glow?

DuckWasTaken · 2021-04-14T01:17:09+00:00

" Synthesis Changes

Fractured items no longer have a visual effect applied to them."

why tho

Rorcan · 2021-04-13T23:16:39+00:00

Increased Character Size is now capped at 100%.

All of a sudden I feel so small.

Hoffelcopter · 2021-04-13T23:18:03+00:00

Diplomatic Escort now replaces one Harbinger with a King Harbinger instead of a group of Harbingers.

RIP Easy Ancient Orbs.

LMN0HP · 2021-04-13T23:22:43+00:00

The Death Aura skill granted by the Death's Oath unique Body Armour now deals 758 Base Chaos Damage per second (previously 563).

YO IS IT TIME?

2021-04-13T23:41:23+00:00

Fire burst buffs look really interesting

Nchi · 2021-04-13T23:17:36+00:00

Completing the Heart of the Grove encounter for the first time now unlocks 5 extra Horticrafting Station crafting slots, allowing you to store up to a maximum of 15 crafting options.

JustAFrank · 2021-04-13T23:17:52+00:00

Fixed a bug where The Maven's button on the Map Device needed to be deactivated for certain encounters if The Maven was not interested in the Area. These encounters can now be opened without the button needing to be deactivated.

The best change

freelance_fox · 2021-04-13T23:56:31+00:00

Increased Character Size is now capped at 100%.

RIP to my giant homies

-Dargs · 2021-04-13T23:44:52+00:00

Someday... Not today, but someday.... Breach will innately get a buff to speed at which the zone expands and have splinters drop in larger quantity stacks. We can dream.

_Xveno_ · 2021-04-13T23:56:14+00:00

"You can now use ! as a prefix to a term (such as "!unique" or "Sword !Increased Physical Damage") to filter results in a search field (such as your stash) to display results that don't contain the specified search term."

Thankyou so much, always wanted this :)

btw, are there no changes to the fragment tab for winged scarabs?

Nchi · 2021-04-13T23:30:49+00:00

Trigger a Socketed Spell when you Use a Skill, with a 8 second Cooldown (previously 4 seconds).

Is the drop version still 4... wow what a nerf

MagikarpHasNoNose · 2021-04-13T23:33:48+00:00

Holy shit vaal ice nova looking juicy.

Now deals 18 to 26 Cold Damage at gem level 1 (previously 11 to 17), and 518 to 762 Cold Damage at gem level 20 (previously 274 to 428).
Now has a Cast Time of 0.7 seconds (previously 0.8).
Now has added damage effectiveness of 120% (previously 70%).
Now stores up to 2 uses (previously 1).
Now has a Soul Gain Prevention duration of 2 seconds (previously 4).

Orichlol · 2021-04-13T23:16:33+00:00

Conquerors of the Atlas encounters can now be accessed through a map item. When you have a Conqueror's Citadel ready to go, speaking to Zana will open the Map Device interface with a map containing the Conqueror's Citadel already placed in the first slot. Currency can be applied to these maps in the same way as a regular map, and adding fragments or scarabs alongside the map will enhance the map further. Item Quantity will only increase the amount of rewards dropped by the Conqueror by 20% of its total value.

Whoa.

Duncan_Blackwood · 2021-04-14T05:02:16+00:00

So, of all things, CADIRO was nerfed? Really? After not being crap for once?

Not_MVP · 2021-04-13T23:21:44+00:00

Party members that are not the map creator are now required to be within a 250 unit radius (roughly two screens) of a captured beast in order for it to be added to their Menagerie.

LETS GO!!

PrickBrigade · 2021-04-13T23:28:52+00:00

Bladestorm

Now deals 70-108% more Damage with Bleeding while in Blood Stance.

That's a lot higher than I was expecting

HollowLoch · 2021-04-13T23:15:16+00:00

Ctrl+F molten strike *1 result\*

Tzteosh, Hungering Flame no longer uses his Ultimate Molten Strike skill.

Disappointment

Silver_Key · 2021-04-13T23:37:27+00:00

At 10 Defiance, take Reflected Physical Damage equal to maximum Life, then lose all Defiance.

Can't wait for the rip vids.

Rynocks · 2021-04-13T23:27:13+00:00

Vaal Ground Slammy Wammy

BurningThad · 2021-04-13T23:39:34+00:00

Vaal Ground Slam league.

Tetsero · 2021-04-14T01:47:10+00:00

Talismans had a moment of not being bad, but Chris saw it and thought they needed to be earned.

Rubb3rDuckyy · 2021-04-13T23:39:25+00:00

Slayer didn't get corrupted blood immunity? why not....?

dont_dox_me-bro · 2021-04-13T23:16:05+00:00

Ctrl + F "essence" 1/29

Uh oh.

Oh wait, right.

Ctrl + F "essence drain"

Phew.

Velvache · 2021-04-13T23:17:24+00:00

Rip people who thought there would be skills buffs not mentioned in the manifesto.

zenollor · 2021-04-13T23:28:52+00:00

Flawless Savagery

The increased Critical Strike Chance modifier now applies to both Attacks and Spells. The added Physical Damage modifier now applies to both Attacks and Spells.

Spell zerker here we go lol

p4nda13 · 2021-04-13T23:32:59+00:00

I hope to see my boy spectral throw gets the buffs it deserves before I die

Freesland · 2021-04-13T23:19:57+00:00

Rip that dude who went to sleep 25 minutes ago.

DisoRDeReDD · 2021-04-14T00:21:24+00:00

Previously, when an item was unveiled, the veiled modifier added to the item would be equal to the highest tier modifier available on the Crafting Bench.

Wait... is that how it worked? I thought the mod added to the item was whatever tier happened to roll for unveiling--often lower than the highest tier.

Now, the modifier being unveiled no longer counts as a crafted modifier and will be stronger than any craftable veiled modifier.

Big

HelloFever · 2021-04-13T23:25:48+00:00

I don't know why I'm reading this with so much excitement I don't understand the game anyway

Daydrian · 2021-04-13T23:32:15+00:00

GGG: We’re buffing Vaal attacking skills! Spark: :D GGG: Not you

Sysiphuz · 2021-04-13T23:17:10+00:00

Blade Vortex Now has a base duration of 4 seconds (previously 5 seconds). Now has a radius of +2 at gem level 20 (previously +4). Now has added damage effectiveness of 20% (previously 25%). Now deals 86 to 129 Physical Damage at gem level 20 (previously 101 to 151).

oof BV. Probably still playable but hurts to see this done to my boy.

signed7 · 2021-04-13T23:19:27+00:00

Added a new Strength Support Gem - Bloodthirst: Supports attack skills, causing them to deal added physical damage with weapons equal to 2% of your maximum life while on low life

Max life scaling? Oh wow

Lwe12345 · 2021-04-13T23:46:25+00:00

GGG has a phobia of buffing underused skills

mumbomination · 2021-04-13T23:47:19+00:00

Why'd they have to nerf escaped experiment it was probably a meme node even but I loved it

PM_ME_UR_A-CUP · 2021-04-13T23:23:03+00:00

Zana League Mods Available During 3.14.0
[. . .]
Harvest (costs 12 Chaos Orbs): Area contains The Sacred Grove.

This is gonna get interesting.

bECimp · 2021-04-13T23:52:27+00:00

Vaal Blight

Now has a Soul Gain Prevention duration of 7 seconds (previously 8).

Dont know what I was expecting from ctrl+F but this is a bruh buff

hemanNZ · 2021-04-13T23:44:18+00:00

I thought traps were getting some kind of buff! I guess they didn't get nerfed, thats a buff!

George_Cycloney · 2021-04-13T23:35:57+00:00

Trigger a Socketed Spell when you Use a Skill, with a 8 second Cooldown (previously 4 seconds).

nononononononono

elboyo · 2021-04-14T03:40:17+00:00

Since low life has changed to 50%, does that mean that Minion Instability also triggers at 50%?

Sylailene · 2021-04-13T23:24:02+00:00

Elementalist totally fine.

Vaal ground slam and vaal power siphon look really good right now

jzstyles · 2021-04-13T23:27:26+00:00

Vendors will no longer offer any scroll fragments in exchange for Perandus Coins.

That's the biggest nerf this patch.

jzstyles · 2021-04-13T23:21:50+00:00

Crafts are no longer guaranteed from seeds. Now, seeds of Tiers 1, 2 and 3 each have a chance to provide a craft, with Tier 4 seeds still guaranteeing a craft. Please note that the number of Tier 2 and 3 seeds encountered in Harvest Plots has remained unchanged, so the encounters will remain as challenging as they were before.

Goodbye ever seeing speed or crit crafts when they have 1-5 seeds in a plot WHEN they show up which is rare enough as is lol.

DrSpectrum · 2021-04-13T23:37:17+00:00

Vaal Ground Slam with 400% Effectiveness is pretty tempting.

NA_FanBoy · 2021-04-13T23:23:17+00:00

Vendors will no longer offer any scroll fragments in exchange for Perandus Coins.

Damn this was not the vendor recipe change I was hoping for :(

MostlyEffort · 2021-04-13T23:43:32+00:00

Dance of the Offered just gives you Agnostic now hot damn

Aether_Storm · 2021-04-13T23:30:36+00:00

The Molten Burst skill granted by the Ngamahu's Flame unique Axe now fires 3 additional Projectiles (previously 2).

MEATBALL BLENDER IS BACK ON THE MENU

[deleted]

Puddlesmith · 2021-04-13T23:54:05+00:00

Seems like the vast majority of Atlas Passives were just nerfed? Was 20 ghosted rares really that good that it needs to be 5 now?

dont_dox_me-bro · 2021-04-13T23:17:13+00:00

Summon Carrion Golem The Golem's Cascade skill now has a 6 second cooldown (previously 4 seconds). The skill now also travels a shorter distance and has less area of effect. Summoned Carrion Golem now deals approximately 11% less damage at all gem levels.

Oof.

Krohnos · 2021-04-14T00:01:29+00:00

The Conquerors of the Atlas quest line now has expandable sections in the quest tracker, similar to The Maven quest line.

Best patch ever

xtRuzzo · 2021-04-14T00:02:05+00:00

The Bull Thorns skill used by Lieutenant of Rage in The Labyrinth and the Crusher of Gladiators in the Racecourse Map has been visually updated and no longer has Damage Reflection.

PRAISE

Mark_GGG · 2021-04-14T03:04:46+00:00

/u/mark_ggg, two questions about Chainbreaker:

Is the 3 rage cost affected by the cost modifiers of linked support gems?
If Chainbreaker makes one of my skills cost 3 rage, and I have less than 3 rage, then am I unable to cast the skill?

gorpixx · 2021-04-13T23:29:15+00:00

Ctrl + f "Death's Oath"

Oh my finally!

alertalerta · 2021-04-13T23:31:32+00:00

"The Death Aura skill granted by the Death's Oath unique Body Armour now deals 758 Base Chaos Damage per second" OH BABY

DerDirektor · 2021-04-14T00:00:30+00:00

Essence of Dread

No longer grants +x to Weapon Range to Melee Weapons.

Now grants increased Impale Effect to Melee Weapons.

I mean there don't seem to be any numbers yet, but this cold be pretty bonkers. Possibly a new round of mirror phys weapons yet again.

Heladitos · 2021-04-14T00:30:36+00:00

NO MORE ALLIES CANNOT DIE!!!

I didn't believe I'd see the day, AMAZING

ALSO WTF: You can now use ! as a prefix to a term (such as "!unique" or "Sword !Increased Physical Damage") to filter results in a search field (such as your stash) to display results that don't contain the specified search term.
FUCKING FINALLY

zajoba · 2021-04-13T23:18:57+00:00

BV Duration, AOE, damage effectiveness, and added phys all hit.

Probably still OK tbh.

Edit: Diplomatic Escort now replaces one Harbinger with a King Harbinger instead of a group of Harbingers. RIP

Edit Edit: Added a fifth variant of the Vessel of Vinktar BAWW GAWD THAT'S VINKTAR'S MUSIC

Markleblatt · 2021-04-14T00:04:16+00:00

I don't understand the Ascendancy changes for Zerker/Gladiator.

Zerker had Flawless Savagery changed but not Blitz, so there still isn't enough support there for a spell build.

Glad had the bleed damage changed to phys over time, but left the explode as bleed so you still are only going to take that for bleed builds.

What exactly changed here?

runninxc09 · 2021-04-13T23:32:01+00:00

Essence (costs 2 Chaos Orbs): Area contains 2 additional Essences.

Breach (costs 2 Chaos Orbs): Area contains an additional Breach.

Bloodlines (costs 3 Chaos Orbs): Magic Monster Packs each have a

Bloodline mod. Area contains 3 additional Magic Monster Packs.

Ambush (costs 3 Chaos Orbs): Area contains 3 extra Strongboxes.

Harbinger (costs 4 Chaos Orbs): Area contains 2 additional Harbingers.

Heist (costs 6 Chaos Orbs): Area contains 2 additional Smuggler's Caches.

Harvest (costs 12 Chaos Orbs): Area contains The Sacred Grove.

Zana mods are kinda underwhelming? Maybe nerfed harvest will carry for 12c...

kryniu113 · 2021-04-13T23:59:22+00:00

hmm I might play Bladestorm Bleed Glad instead of my usual Lacerate

ErgoMachina · 2021-04-14T01:52:08+00:00

I'm utterly in shock. No nerfs to Molten Strirke

jayrodias · 2021-04-13T23:53:48+00:00

So with the change to Gratuitious Violence being more damage over time will enemies affected by physical damage over time explode? Because if its just still bleeding that kinda sucks for the new skills.

DabMan69420 · 2021-04-13T23:19:04+00:00

BV/BB got clonked, but I think VBV is...slightly better? 2 uses is a big deal if you have a -40% reduced Vaal soul cost, because it means you can store another charge.

Edit:

Vaal Skill Gems can now only be obtained from a set of specific methods such as Vaal Side Areas, Divination Cards (that specifically grant Vaal Skill Gems) and the Lapidary Lens in the Temple of Atzoatl.

No more vaaling for vaal gems?????

Ryant12 · 2021-04-13T23:28:27+00:00

PSA to fellow Exiles: I will be doing a "Compiled List of Streamer Starter Builds for Ultimatum League" post closer to launch, just like I did with Ritual, Heist, Harvest, Delirium, Metamorph, Blight, and Legion.
