| Fate of the Vaal as Core Path of Exile 2 Mechanic | Natalia_GGG#0000 | 05/16 | |
With Return of the Ancients launching on May 29th PDT, you may be wondering what will happen to the current Fate of the Vaal leagues and your existing characters.

Atziri’s Temple is staying in Path of Exile 2 as a core mechanic. We will cover the changes in more detail in the full 0.5.0 patch notes on May 21st PDT, but here are the main things you need to know:

| The Gathering Storm Changes Indicate a Bigger Problem with GGG's Design Philosophy | Kelly_GGG | 05/22 | ||
This change is not the intended final state of the skill. It's intended to have much broader interactions that do not call out specific skills, and we decided that including it was better than nerfing the skill and not compensating at all. There will be more updates in future patches. | ||||

heya, "Or Higher" was just a mistake from our end and should not have been showing. Tier 16 is still the highest tier for maps. | ||||

| “New” Unique: Facebreakers for POE2 | viperesque | 05/19 | ||
For attacks that can use both a mace and a quarterstaff, Facebreaker's flat damage overrides Hollow Palm Technique's. The % more damage on Facebreaker and the attack speed/crit chance from Hollow Palm will all apply though. By the way, Shockwave Totem is not the only case of this, as there are some triggered attacks that can use both. The "or unarmed" part doesn't matter, those skills will still preferentially use Facebreaker/Hollow Palm flat damage over normal unarmed damage if the attack can use a Mace/Quarterstaff. | ||||
