Path of Exile Turns The Heat Up On Its Fire-Related Skills
Path of Exile is encouraging you to unleash your inner pyromaniac when Update 3.3.0 rolls out. Just keep it in the game ok? The update will buff up a number of active and passive fire-based skills.
The coming update is aimed at making Ignite more viable and powerful in conjunction with other skills. Ignite is now capable of dealing up to 25% more damage. Heart of Flame’s damage output will remain the same but will now penetrate 6% fire resistance instead of 3%. Breath of Flames will also be getting a buff along with Holy Fire and Celestial Judgement.
Grinding Gear Games seems to be happy with the changes at the moment but says that the new values aren’t set in stone. “Our testing of these balance changes so far has gone well and there are several ignite-focused builds that are now more enjoyable to level and more effective in end-game content,” says the studio. “We are going to continue to test these changes internally and solicit feedback during Alpha testing which means some of the values mentioned in this post may still be subject to change. However, this should give you an overview of where we are at currently with ignite and our plans for the future.”
The update is expected to go live on June 1st. Check out the Path of Exile official forums for the full list of changes. New items are also available in the in-game cash shop including Fallen Angel Wings and a Goatman pet. Check the out below.
