it blew my mind when uber cortex didnt drop synth rare 3 implicit synth bases this league

onemanaleft is typing...

"recombinator core" ....one can only dream.

im so with you on the elder guardian thing

High quality content, low quality graphics. Don't ever change, Lance. 🖤

Auras definitely getting gutted. They don't give us 20% more base armor/damage from items without gutting auras :D

Regarding the stats on the Determination from the video. The bonuses seen were the exact stats from a level 22 Determination but with the flat armour halved.

I wanted to farm some div cards from elder guardians yesterday. Picked out 5 sets, then I put them back when I realized how many boss animations is it 😂

I'm betting on Ancestral Totem buffs/reworks, tied in with melee buffs, new Rage related mechanics, maybe rebalance of manaforged, no Adorned nerf, and at the very minimum Gladiator rework... I think Occultist and Berserker are still in a good place, the only other ascendancy that I believe needs a rework is Assassin, but idk if that will happen.

I think dual strike of ambidextrous is one of the strongest melee skills in the game, but I agree that outside of this one skill, it doesn't seem worth to use 2 weapons as melee.

elder wasting time is spot on, its so annoying to wait every single time + you always lose all your shrine buffs waiting on the animations, thats the reason i dont run elder maps

I'm a bit scared about the core-defenses rework being a possibility. Last time they really screwed this up was also the expedition expansion

My wishlist: That Which was Taken Core Gladiator Rework Melee Rework/Kill Ancestral totem Assassin Rework Recombinator Core Bleed Buff

Still waiting for a day when Tawhoa's chosen node boosted attack would base its attack off exerted attack.

"Recombinator back to core" Yes officer, this man right here

im praying for a hi im chris wilson from grinding gear games. i miss it

Please make lacerate glad actually good Prayge

Wait, Gladiator is an Ascendancy in this game? Are you **sure** about that? (I miss max block Glad pre-moving/nerfing Versatile Combatant and having enemies nuking themselves by hitting me wielding a Surrender)

GREAT bingo card imo I'd love to see auras reduced massively tbh like by half. Ever character having to have multiple auras just feels like a thematically weird thing

I bet soem dramatic bleed wheel/masters changed and added

I'd love to see a couple more defensive aura options, while it seems they may be reworked. Addition of a spell suppress and ward aura would be cool.

Ooh, impressionist bingo board. Very fashionable! Also, I'd have to go back and rewatch to see if this would make sense, which... too lazy... but it seems like if they had decreased the _maximum_ rage value it might have the same effects, appearing to gain more rage per hit and having the meter appear to decrease faster than usual.

Drop only mods will never matter, no matter how strong, unless they rework drops and item quant.

Thanks for giving my fav synth maps a shoutout. I'd like to point out they also were nerfed when Exalted/Divine swap happened because you could fairly easily get full elder/shaper rare sets to sell to vendors for exalted shards. Now you just throw maven on and rush the bosses and hope for a Cortex and that's it. I'd love to see recombinators brought back and put in there at the very least. ToTA or Lake coming back would be awesome too (I know people hate Lake, but I think it was in a better spot during the recent event).

I think GGG is trying to create restraint through gem sockets on more builds with the introduction of many QOL links(automation & auto warcry) and now what appears to be increased reservation efficiency. I see this as an extremely healthy direction to take the balance of these things. Very excited to see how the game *feels* next patch.

VV gone and synth back to synth maps. I pay for that one

Im hoping for new hybrid bases, exclusively for escape artist for trickster.

Funny how they ditched spell dodge for suppression because dodge was the best choice and now of course SS is a must have. So they traded one for the other.

a shield can get 30% reservation efficiency to socketed, so you might be able to do the 90 something with just a couple cluster jewels.

Best 3.25 bingo board so far

This was scarily accurate

My only 4 requests: Scarab revamp, T17 revamp, new pinnacle boss, and new chase items/goals. Oh and of course a good league mechanic!

I wish they'd change spell suppression so that 2% ss = 1% spell damage reduction. That way you'd still benefit from pushing to 100%, but you'd still gain a lot from having a little. It might also let them figure out how to make spell dodge great again.

i think the life mod on the boots will just be a small change to the life/defense hyrbid mod so that it gives flat armour/eva/es instead of %

missing "snoobae jerkin to lance once again"

I think Adorned is getting nerfed because we already know simulacrum change. More unique drop and less stages means voices becoming more common, which might enable adorned even further. I think GGG knows this and will balance adorned accordingly. I'm also a bit concerned now that we're seeing huge pdps weapons buffed but totem getting removed (if it happens). They might be just happy with end results looking about the same with more power from weapon and less dmg from not having totems, which means this is just phys bow buff disguised as melee buff.

You can also get to 26.04% reservation cost on a 50 % aura with a Level 4 Enlighten and 69% reservation efficiency. So maybe it's just a little joke?

Since we already know some life changes will happen, Rathpith might be touched this league nerf or whatever.

I doubt they will Remove Ancestrial Totems. I think it could be new Skill, that summons "Ancestrial Spirit", that is tied to your character, that attacks or protects from nearby enemies. Reservation probably will change some 25%>20% and 50%>40%. I doubt Tota will come back in autochess form, it might get complete overhaul and be more close to "Invasion Bosses" as it's in 3.24. On Bases i Think they will Get Wand/Heist base treatment, there is "core" difference and it will have 2-3 tiers. On other Things i think it's pretty close what we will see in 3.25.

A Bringer of Rain buff would be nice :)

I hope they dont super nerf the XP scarabs was actually nice to have an option other than 5 ways

B2B getting removed for sure, especially since they are adding the 6th map slot, i think to sort of try to replace some of the power we are losing from B2B

if we get monster overwhelm mitigation I'd agree with nerfing taken as.

If it can happen to phox's righteous fire, it can happen to lance's ivory tower

I farmed elder guardians this league. the delay made the frragments more expensive to sell AND it gave me some time to stretch my wrists win win

They are going to change the campaign so you don't run past the same'ish areas twice and so you are introduced to all leagues as part of the campaign, that's my guess. maybe one more act before maps as well. They are finishing POE1 before POE2. Also they may make it alot harder in the beginning (less loot unless you do some of the bosses.

the middle square is more transfigured gems I hope the hexblast nerf doesn't touch the transfigured versions too much

I doubt they will Remove Ancestrial Totems. I think it could be new Skill, that summons "Ancestrial Spirit", that is tied to your character, that attacks or protects from nearby enemies. Reservation probably will change some 25%>20% and 50%>40%. I doubt Tota will come back in autochess form, it might get complete overhaul and be more close to "Invasion Bosses" as it's in 3.24. On other Things i think it's pretty close what we will see in 3.25.

I think the middle row going down is the only chance this board gets a bingo

I'm on for some hybrid group up mods, like life+armor mixed with stun recov+armor etc.

Syth maps became maokun 2.0 But at least Mao kun drops something useeful

Recombs would be the ultimate comeback from last leagues low

I want the synth one so bad. I love the aesthetic of synth, I would love to farm synth more but I can't fathom the thought process behind making synth maps just not drop synth items.

I'm pretty sure GGG has mentioned plans to add King in the Mists to Ritual before so I wouldn't consider it a long shot cope

I dont think it's unlikely for them to nerf a skill two times in a row. RIP Toxic Rain...

Bait or no bait when?

Hopefully rage become a zerker thing only. It's so stupid all characters can generate rage which is the zerker thing.

Synth items, run synth map, kill boss, boss drop synth items, while delete VV

the only thing im waiting for is buff for impale, maybe 15% from hit dagame instead of current 10, because pure phys melee build struggle a lot, but i guess 15 is too much. Or maybe change physical mitigation to be able to go negative like elemental damage does

I'd play ToTA as core. I enjoyed it. It was different content. Might not have been super profitable, but I had a great time.

I think they take bleedsplosions off of Gladiator and put it on the tree

hey Lance just wanna ask on your leveling video how can you make cremation work without desecrate? how I don't see it on skill panel and you still have it cast on boss?

i think they are more likely to nerf the item mods on body armors than trickster or jugg specifically.

Enjoyed comparing bingo cards. Also, cannot BELIEVE you hide your taskbar. WOW.

There is no way Ancestor Totems are gone entirely; because they're still a playstyle. Ancestror totems, [Plus Earthbreaker; which also gives an AoE buff] are still their own thing. The totems as their own thing absolutely should not be removed. People assumeing Rage is reworked when it could just be new nodes, or even a unique. Occultist rework is a reach. Supression is fine? If you nerf it everyone just ignores it and goes to Acro; because Acro halves the supression chance but gives you 100% reduction. As it stands it's not worth the point unless you have overcapped supress. If you lower Supress to 40%; Acro's back, because 20% supression would be on average 8% reduction; while Acro would be 10%. The main issue with Supression is that they didn't bother to go and add "cannot be supressed" to the boss spells which cannot be Blocked/Dodged. DW is bad because there is hardly any support for it on the tree, and the tiny amount of support is split to the four corners of the tree. I doubt there's a Dw overhaul, more it gets more support. Same for bleed which has literally 2 wheels on the tree. By the way, these two things are what Gladiator is... No way they make Reservation easier to get Recombinators is an absolute no. Same with a return of TotA. Elder fight getting changed isn't going to happen. I do like Ward, but it's basically unplayable ever since Dodge got removed. Hopefully at least we get new high level bases.

i would add 1 extra box for more win, kinda like roulette's 00, "DD untouched"

I stopped playing this league super early because it wasn't for me. I now feel like I have not played in ages and forgot everything lol

'at least' is two words.

A spell suppression nerf is long overdue, but I dont think they have the guts to do it. "Overpowered" is and understatement for it. If they do nerf Determination spell supression on the right side of the tree would be the right choise.

Ive been praying for a ward rework since expedition.

twitch chat force him to do stalling bingo and he get youtube content from it.

Top left is almost guaranteed wrong. There are MTX for ancestral totems (void and iron maiden). The buff deleted makes sense, the totems themselves? No chance.

if TOTA returns it needs to be re-tuned, as the higher you went the bosses were just too tanky and did too much damage, it was unbeatable if you did it alot.

adorned not nerfed is interesting ngl

Balbala nerf waiting room

Hi Mark!

4 elder suck phases on elder guardian fights need to go

RECOMBINATOR BACK TO CORE >.

if tota comes back i hope there is an option to not rank up and get to one shot territory

Poe's balance changed are seemingly always on the player end, this skill to strong, nerf it, these skills mandatory to not die, nerf them, the game too rewarding, put another decimal point in the drop chances. I'd love to see some enemy nerfs and boss restructures over, players are compensating for our oneshot auto attacks, lets "buff" them 20-50%.

all good stuff imagine heist drops synth item while synth maps dont drop synth items is that logical 😅why did they remove it at first place

hell ya bring back recombinators game felt so much better with them

9:20 1100, not 11000*

melee if fked up as it is , targeting battle mage cry is career ending for many builds , if i see any nerf to melee , i will instantly delete poe from my pc ,its not worth to play nerfed melee

Chaos Dot is not gonna be back until they rework wither... so sadly I have no hope for occultist...

9:26 11031 armor on determination !?!

can they just hire you and make these changes instead of us making a bingo? the balance has been so shit in this game, it went from fun to pure torture, all my favorite mechanics were changed or removed

Let's fucking gooooooooooo

no "B2B gutted/reworked" is a miss here, cap

My bet is rage is going to be like momentum and glad will be dual wielding focused

Well, if spell suppression gets nerfed. Any ascendancies other than Jugg is so bad in this game.

ziroehp phys and chaos 4kk from 1 mines in end game. fuuuuuu

Good video

I really hope dual weilding gets reworked or buffed. Also please buff chaos dot spells they are so bad. T_T

Suppression nerf? It's already just good in the game. Nothing broken. Issue is that the other part of the tree has nothing close to it, block feels extremely subpar. They should just buff block/glancing blows...even armor.

so funny how u said recombinators were just copium

Nice video!

Oh Hi Mark

The copium is strong on this one

Occultist has been on my list for a long time. I really want them to go more into the dark occult theme. Curses, Damage over Time (Chaos and maybe Cold), maybe some sacrifice mechanic where you sacrifice blood/life for buffs and getting rid of the weird power charge and es nodes that have never really fitted the theme in my opinion.
