2 more days until the new Path of Exile expansion..

Really looking forward to hopping back in after not playing this most recent season.

Melee skills seem to have gotten a complete rework, which was long overdue. The new league mechanics seem interesting.

I've gotten more and more excited. I have so much stuff to be playing right now, but I know I'll end up playing PoE anyway.

I'm not sure what I'll run first. The reworked ascendancies look nice. Slayer and Berserker both looking particularly interesting. But not sure yet.

Between this, Dead by Daylight, and Void Bastards it looks like I'm finally gonna put that Xbox Game Pass to good use.

Yeah Slayer is looking real nice. Think I'm going to go Slayer Cyclone first, and see how it goes, maybe Tectonic Slam. Not quite sure yet.

Looking at the POE Reddit page, apparently EVERYONE seems to be going Slayer Cyclone, so I think I'm crossing that off my list. If that build becomes the meta this league, gear prices are going to be through the roof.

Think I'm leaning towards giving Frost Blades a try, or maybe Sunder.

Apparently the new Borderlands 2 DLC is real and gonna be free:

Return to the award winning shooter-looter for a new adventure that sets the stage for the upcoming Borderlands 3. Sanctuary is under siege, the Vault’s map has been stolen and a toxic gas is poisoning Pandora. Fight new bosses, explore new zones, get new loot (including an entirely new tier beyond Legendary) and join up with Lilith and the Crimson Raiders to take on a deranged villain hell-bent on ruling the planet

Returning players can pursue an increased level cap of 80, while newcomers can automatically boost to level 30 and dive straight into the action.


I am very excite.

Really excited for this one! Need something to hold me over until they make a new Diablo game for PC.

OMG. Wow. This is incredible. Thank you. The Final Fantasy VI soundtrack brings me back. (That was III on Super Nintendo in the US)

I was doing some digging, as well. I've never done a melee build in PoE before so definitely want to jump in now, but cyclone is what I was hoping for so that I could have some of that great D2 nostalgia Ziggy mentioned in the video. But yes, gear prices will be astronomical.

Thinking maybe tectonic slam chieftain.
