| | Path of Exile 2 and Path of Exile: Affliction Recently Asked Questions | Community_Team | 12/08 | |
| How much life does a Phantasm from Penance Mark have? Can you proliferate poisons (e.g. from Master Toxicist) from Phantasms to other monsters? A Phantasm's maximum life depends on the level of the Penance Marked monster. In a level 83 area, they will have about 20,000 life. It is possible for poisons to be proliferated from Phantasms to the marked target, as long as the Phantasm is close enough for the proliferation. | ||||

| | Path of Exile: Affliction Launches Soon | Community_Team | 12/08 | |
Path of Exile: Affliction launches soon! In this news post, we've gathered all the information you need to know about what happens on launch day and how to start downloading early.
The realm goes down and patching begins at: Dec 09, 2023 12:00 AM (GMT+8) The servers go live at: Dec 09, 2023 3:00 AM (GMT+8) The above times are displayed in your local time zone. You'll need to be logged into your account to see these. To change your local time, go to "My Account", "Manage Account" and "Edit Preferences". If the timezone is displaying incorrectly for you, please disregard the above timer and refer to the countdown on the front page. Three hours before the end of the countdown, the realm will go down and patching will begin shortly after. When the countdown ends, the servers will be live and you'll be able to join the Affliction League! The patch size for the update will be around 8-9GB on the standalone client and 8-9GB on Steam. We've also made a torrent available for this update which is around 37GB. Please keep in mind that this method, while available earlier, makes it a larger update as it includes all the existing client content. When patching begins for Path of Exile: Affliction you'll also have a few remaining files that you'll need to update as well. 
This torrent only includes the GGPK file, so you'll need to copy it into your actual install folder once the patching server is up, no earlier than three hours before Path of Exile: Affliction launches. Please note that you can't use this GGPK file with the Steam client, Epic client and macOS. Path of Exile: Affliction will launch on consoles at Dec 14, 2023 7:00 AM (GMT+8). Downtime will begin for deployment at approximately Dec 14, 2023 4:00 AM (GMT+8). These are displayed in your local time. Don't forget, Twitch Drops are enabled for the launch of Path of Exile: Affliction! Watch for 4 hours of accumulated watch time on any channel streaming Path of Exile during the event and you'll be granted the Ice Tiger Pet! More information about Twitch Drops can be found here. Keep in mind that if you haven't taken advantage of it yet, it's still possible to get one free Ancestor Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store. NOTE: this is only possible once per account. Additional purchases do not grant additional mystery boxes. In case you still haven't decided which build to play with, check out the Class subsections on the forum for suggestions from the community. Many of our community streamers are also providing build guides on YouTube! If you want a new look to match your build, check out the Nexus stores of your favourite creators for their curated selection of Armour Sets to support them as well as the development of Path of Exile! We can't wait to see your latest adventures through Wraeclast and the Viridian Wildwood. We'll see you at launch! | ||||
| | Storm Brand of Indecision says "... and those around it" despite being single target. | Mark_GGG | 12/08 | |
| Storm Brand inherently deals area damage, the transfigured gem does not change that. It sends beams to some number of targets, including the branded enemy), and deals damage in an AoE around those targets hit by beams. Storm Brand of Indecision only hits one enemy (the branded enemy, if it has one) with a beam, but that beam still causes damage to that enemy and those around it, just like the base skill's beams. | ||||

| | Path of Exile 2 and Path of Exile: Affliction Recently Asked Questions | Community_Team | 12/07 | |
| Does Penance Mark scale with Mark Effect? If so, what does it do? Yes, Penance Mark scales with Mark Effect. Scaling Mark Effect increases the number of enemy Phantasms spawned. | ||||

Can we please have more details about the skills of the newly shown transfigured minion gems?

| | Path of Exile 2 and Path of Exile: Affliction Recently Asked Questions | Community_Team | 12/07 | |
| Is the ''Maximum 3 summoned Golems'' line from the ''of Hordes'' variants of Golem Skill Gems global or for that specific Golem? It is specific to that instance of the skill. For example, if you have both a normal Stone Golem and an Ice Golem of Hordes socketed, you could have 3 Ice Golems summoned, or 2 Ice Golems and 1 Stone Golem, but not 3 Stone Golems. The same principle applies to different versions of the same type of Golem. | ||||
| | Path of Exile 2 and Path of Exile: Affliction Recently Asked Questions | Community_Team | 12/07 | |
| How about details of the Warlock's Penance Mark skill? Whenever the marked enemy is hit, it spawns 3 phantasms, no more than once per second. The phantasms are regular enemies and will fight you while they live, but expire after a few seconds if not already killed. They grant flask charges and vaal souls when slain (but don't drop loot or leave corpses). | ||||

| What does Dark Effigy from the Warlock of the Mists do? Creates a Dark Effigy tethered to you. Damage you take from enemy hits is taken from the Effigy's life before yours, and 200% of damage the Effigy takes from enemy hits is taken from your life before its own. The Effigy is destroyed if you get too far away from it. The effigy is not a minion. Its life scales based on your character level. | ||||
| | Path of Exile 2 and Path of Exile: Affliction Recently Asked Questions | Community_Team | 12/07 | |
| How does Lightning Strike of Arcing's ''10% more damage per chain'' work? It causes projectiles to deal 10% more damage for each time the projectile has chained. This stat will be reworded to be less ambiguous. | ||||
| | Path of Exile 2 and Path of Exile: Affliction Recently Asked Questions | Community_Team | 12/07 | |
| Does only Ice Golem have the ''of Hordes'' Transfigured variant, as shown by the third batch of Transfigured Gems? No, all Summon Golem gems will have the "of Hordes" Transfigured variant to make up for the Anima Stone Unique Jewel no longer having the "+1 to maximum number of summoned Golems" stat, as mentioned in the patch notes. | ||||
| | Transfigured Gems Part 3 | Community_Team | 12/07 | |
Here's the third batch of Transfigured Gems coming in Path of Exile: Affliction. Check them out!
Note: We've shown Ice Golem of Hordes in this batch, but all Summon Golem gems will also have this variant to make up for the Anima Stone Unique Jewel no longer having the "+1 to maximum number of summoned Golems" stat, as mentioned in the patch notes.

| | Path of Exile 2 and Path of Exile: Affliction Recently Asked Questions | Community_Team | 12/06 | |
| How do Vaal versions of Transfigured Gems work? Transfigured gems can be corrupted to Vaal versions of the gem, but the Vaal Skill that gets added to the Transfigured gem will be the normal Vaal Skill and not a Transfigured version of the Vaal Skill. | ||||
| | Path of Exile 2 and Path of Exile: Affliction Recently Asked Questions | Community_Team | 12/06 | |
| Blink and Mirror Arrow of Prismatic Clones causes your new minion allies to use Elemental Hit. What gem level Elemental Hit is the damage based off? It is not directly comparable to the player version of Elemental Hit. It has the same base behaviour of picking an element and ignoring damage of other types, and can be manipulated by Combat Focus jewels, but it does not have an area of effect component or deal more damage to enemies per ailment on them. It also only has a 20% chance to freeze, shock and ignite. The description will be updated to refer to it by a different name to avoid being misleading. Similarly, the Bombarding Clones variations will be updated to not call out Rain of Arrows by name, as the clones only fire 11 arrows by default rather than any of the amounts available to players. The skill is otherwise mechanically identical. | ||||

| Does Cyclone of Tumult share the pre-3.23 base Cyclone gem's +1 max stage breakpoints at gem levels 21, 26 and 32? No, it has 6 maximum stages at all levels. | ||||
