The developers of Path of Exile 2 have released the patch notes for the new season “Dawn of the Hunt”. Many nerfs for previous builds are included, which does not please the players.
What is in the patch notes? Two days before the start of the new season “Dawn of the Hunt” for Path of Exile 2, the developers published the patch notes for it. In addition to the already known new features like the Huntress and the new expansion classes, the patch notes contain numerous nerfs for skills and items.
Although the nerfs were already announced, the implementation causes dissatisfaction within the community. Particularly, some of the dominant builds from the last season are significantly weakened.
The new season of Path of Exile 2 starts on April 4 at 21:00. The following trailer can help you get in the mood:
Nerfs for the Meta
What will be nerfed? The developers have already announced that they want to weaken overpowered meta builds. So the very skills and items will be nerfed that have been used by many characters for quite some time.
While some skills are detailed with new attributes, it is also stated in the patch notes: “For many skills, the base damage and/or damage increase per level has been rebalanced. Most of these changes will not be mentioned separately below, as the changes are too extensive.”
- Many players complain about the loss of their previous builds. Particularly painful for many is the complete deactivation of Grim Feast, which is to be revised for this season.
- The user forgot_my_useragain writes on Reddit: “I had hoped that the Grim Feast nerf wouldn’t be so bad. I’ll just try to pretend it never existed :(“
- Even Dosi4 is upset on Reddit: “Ouch Infernalist/Demon Form cripples […]”,
