Gd Hk 0 Posted 3 jam yg lalu. With the 0.4 patch hitting December 12, I've been poking at the notes and thinking about what's actually going to matter in poe2 once the "Fate of the Vaal" league goes live, and I keep coming back to the same thing: limit stacking isn't a cute gimmick anymore, it's a whole playstyle you can lean on hard. Limits Don't Feel Like a Punishment Now Old limits were awkward. You'd drop a persistent spell, then recast out of habit, and the first one would just blink out like you'd made a mistake. That kind of design trains you to play timid. The rework flips that. With Stormweaver getting doubled limits on elemental skills early, you're not choosing between "keep it up" and "move it." You're layering. You're setting the fight's tempo. And when a boss steps into overlapping zones—think multiple Frozen Locus patches—it isn't about one big hit. It's steady ticks from several sources at once, and that's where the damage starts to feel unfair in a good way. Overabundance Is the Quiet Problem Child The part people might underestimate is how Overabundance turns gem quality into something you actually chase. Every 20% quality being +1 limit is wild, because quality used to be a "nice if you get it" stat. Now it's a lever. You'll feel it the moment you go from two instances to three, then you keep pushing and suddenly the screen is full of your skill, not just your character. League-start economy's going to reflect that fast: quality currency, corrupted quality hits, and anything that helps you squeeze quality without bricking a gem will get snapped up. It's not glamorous, but it's power you can see immediately. Druid, Plants, and That "Too Much Stuff" Moment Everyone's hyped for Druid, and yeah, fair. The class naturally fits limits because a lot of its kit wants persistent objects. Vine Arrow and Toxic Growth already feel like they're begging to be stacked, and if their limits scale with gem levels the way they seem to, you're going to get that classic "I can't even see the floor" setup. The trick is not overbuilding into clutter. If your damage comes from uptime and layering, you still need a plan for movement, for repositioning, for not trapping yourself in your own effects when things get spicy. Ascendancy Choices and a Realistic Gear Check Ascendancy is where it gets personal. Some folks will go all-in on Druid Oracle to juice primal fields; others will splice in Sorceress and turn the whole thing into an elemental blender. I'm also keeping an eye on Earthshatter-style interactions: more spikes, higher density, and limits that don't constantly delete your setup means you can bank a nasty detonation window instead of praying your casts don't overwrite each other. It won't be cheap, though—high-quality gems and clean rolls are going to cost early—but if you want to keep up with the new pace, it's worth learning the market and checking guides and trade routes on pathofexile2.com before you sink your first pile of currency into the wrong piece. path-of-exile-2-warrior-boneshatter-waypoint.webp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
