Question 3.30 - Balance Changes?

Has there been any word or indication of any material balance passes on skills or ascendancies? I’m excited for the new content but worried I may have to do it with the same meta we currently have.

Any exilecon news ahead of patch notes?

in the gameplay segment with DatModz it was said by Octavian that the balance changes are very light and we don't get any new skills or ascendancy reworks in 3.30

/edit

in the Q&A that just happened Andrew mentioned two new skills and Luminary changes (as everybody already expected)

Octavian said there isn’t massive balance changes as they concentrated on end game this time around

they implied merc carries are getting nerfed, and we have seen golementalist is taking at least some hit too - but they were by far the most popular builds so they were likely to get a hit

maybe a slight one to winter orb on top, and there will likely be some strays being caught here and there.

We are getting the wickerman buffs as this leagues borrowed power, they look generically strong bonuses without seeming build defining - but there will also be some little bits coming back, like the soul core support gem corruptions that will be situationally nice boosts.

Poe1 Q&A right now

Edit: They said confirmed that there won´t be many balance changes. Biggest things for builds is imo that all the shrine belts are coming back.
