Path of Exile 2 has officially been released, but the developers are already weakening a first skill. According to the developers, it is way too strong and not balanced.
Which skill is it about? The Ranger class has a skill called “Magnetic Salvo.” The skill is at gem level 13, which is quite low in the skill tree. With this ability, you can deal a lot of area damage and eliminate many enemies at once. But the developers believe that this is too much.
In a post on X.com, the Path of Exile 2 team writes that the ability is way too strong and they want to weaken it with the next hotfix.
We found another skill that is in an unacceptable state of balance. Following the same principle as before, we will also reduce the damage of “Magnetic Salvo” in the next hotfix. Please note that this is not the only skill we currently have on our radar, but we truly want to deal with egregious cases at this moment.
We are currently playing with you and gathering a lot of your feedback, which we will implement as best as possible once the team is back in the office before the holidays.
Not the first nerf and further adjustments to skills will follow
What else do the developers say? The developers also explain that this is not the only skill being monitored. Therefore, more nerfs to adjust skills could come in the near future.
If you have already put together your perfect build for your character, you should be aware that some skills may still be adjusted. This time, it has affected the Ranger.
