Chris in an interview (about 3.22): "... In addition, there will be a lot of changes in the balance of the game in the expansion."... CANNOT WAIT FOR THE HUGE META SHAKE UP FOR LEAGUE START BUILDS. No more Boneshatter, Cold DoT, and RF.

New Reworked Chieftain might be worse than the old version. Random nodes with low synergy, bad endgame scaling, and low damage. Might be useful for stealing the free Melding with Forbidden Jewels, which will probably cost 100+ Divines.

New Trauma Support Gem Looks AMAZING!!! Time to play self-chill on every Strike Skill. Nothing feels better than 30% Action Speed combined with Berserk.

Tarkov wipe and Baldur’s Gate 3 before new POE league. Too many fun things to play to find a league starter. Please help.

On the bright side, lack of skill balance changes has zero impact for the millions of new players coming from Diablo 4. Real question is why GGG refuses to buff underperforming skills in an attempt to shake up the meta. This issue has nothing to do with available resources.

New Path of Exile league always equals forced deload week of gym and a drastic loss of sleep. Maybe I will try to sleep more and not stream 48 hours straight. If you stream over 24 hours, restart stream on purpose at 18 hours, so you do not get chat “doctors” asking questions.

Lesson to Learn: Never Price out League Starter Builds with Tier 3+ Rarity Uniques. If the build is popular, then those items can easily be 1+ Divines Day 1 and 2. Always try to provide an option with full rare items unless the Unique item rains from the sky.

Freeze, Move Speed, and 95% Evade are the best defensive layers in Softcore.

Highly recommend beginners to check out: github.com/Lailloken/Lail… This blows my mind.

Instead of practicing your Act 1 Time, you need to practice finding ways to be #1 in the Upcoming Queue. Difference between 40k and 100 position in queue is 10+ minutes. Make sure to ALWAYS LOG OUT TO CHARACTER SELECTION and not LOG IN SCREEN.

People ask me why I never do the league mechanic at league start. These are the 3 main reasons: 1. Mobs are always overtuned and mechanic is buggy. 2. Rewards are undertuned. 3. Every second spent doing the league mechanic is time spent not progressing your atlas.

I find it funny how divided the community is over TOTA. Some genuinely love it and consider it the best league ever while others despise it more than Lake of Kalandra. League mechanic concept is great, but execution is poor, ranging from imbalanced units to no respawn timer.
