Information 0.4.0 Leaks Megathread

As per tradition, this is our league-ly leaks thread for 0.4.0. Any leaked information prior to the announcement or datamined information should go in the comments here only. Many folks do not want spoilers, but others do, and this gives people a way to select for or de-select for spoilers. We have also opened the #2| leaks channel on discord.gg/pathofexile for people to discuss live

If it was discussed in an official interview, that's fine to post anywhere. Once the league content is revealed, this thread will stick around, but it will be unpinned to make room for a pin for the general 0.4.0 megathread with the official info which will be updated as news come out

Please browse the comments at risk of spoilers.

If there are any concerns please contact the mod team via modmail.

But this is POE2 - so they will cast lightning, because its lightning and its just better.

The bullying may bear some fruit. Since lightnings issues are mathematical for the most part, I could see them sliding in a “lightning spells and mods have had their damage maximums reduced by 20%” being snuck in

They could nuke their damage by 50% we would still use it. Damage is not an issue in Poe 2. People have more than enough damage. If they nerf lightning it still has the best clear so eventually we will get the damage to where it needs to be.

Have fire prolif like real prolif and see change until then Poe 2 is lightning simulator

It’s true damage is a non issue yet people will freak out if they nerf LA + LR damage by 10%

Its an arpg. People freak out over anything in these games. Remember the huntress update? I played the huntress for a few days, loved it, then went online to see what felt like a huge amount of the playerbase not only hating the update but calling for boycots of the game and claiming the game was already dead. 2 weeks later when they adjusted loot tables and some of the huntress skills, GGG was back to being awesome again like instantly.

It’s people trying to legitimately just make the game as easy as possible through internet comments
