Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for Path of Exile 2 version 0.2.0f released by Grinding Gear Games.

This patch adds support for respeccing ascendancy classes, atlas bookmarks, new stash tab affinites, changes to charms and totems, as well as many other improvements and bug fixes.

Respeccing Ascendancy Classes

• Redoing an Ascendancy Trial now allows you to respec which Ascendancy Class you have chosen at the Ascension device, but only if the Trial would grant you the number of points you already have.
• In order to respec your Ascendancy class, you must have zero points allocated in it, but you can now talk to Balbala or The Trialmaster to Refund Passive Points.
• Trials of Chaos that have 7 chambers and thus grant up to 4 Ascendancy Passive Skill Points now can be attempted from level 55, down from 60.
• Trials of Chaos that have 10 chambers and thus grant up to 6 Ascendancy Passive Skill Points can now be attempted from level 65, down from 75.

Charm Changes

• Belts level 30 and above now have implicit modifiers with 1-2 Charm Slots, while Belts level 60 and above now have implicit modifiers with 1-3 Charm Slots. This only affects new Belts found after this patch has been deployed.

New Stash Tab Affinities

Added Stash Tab Affinities for the following categories of items:

• Socketables
• Fragments (includes Tablets and Trial Keys)
• Breach
• Expedition
• Ritual

Atlas Bookmarks

• Added the ability to bookmark locations on your atlas to find them easily later.
• Right clicking a node will allow you create a bookmark by picking an icon and optionally adding a label you can type in.
• You can have up to 16 bookmarks at a time.
• They will appear as icons around the outside of the screen with a direction allowing you to scroll to them easily, or you can click on them to instantly take you there.
• You can also view a list of bookmarks under the legend and click them to go there.

Endgame Changes

• Pinnacle Bosses now have unlimited respawn attempts at Difficulty 0.
• Tower and Hideout Maps now have a higher minimum number of Rare monsters that can spawn. The final Rare monster defeated in Tower and Hideout Maps will now drop a Map of the same tier you are running (as long as you have enough Waystone Chance). Defeating the final Rare monster in Tower Maps is still not required to complete a Tower Map.
• Added UI tracking for Rare & Unique Monsters in Unique Maps, Tower Maps and Hideout Maps.

Crafting Changes

• As each new Rune Tier is unlocked we are removing the lower runes from the drop pool. This is to stop you getting spammed with lesser runes at high levels.
• Lesser Runes no longer drop past level 31.
• (Medium) Runes no longer drop past level 52.
• Overall past level 52 you will now drop more Greater Runes than currently, but Lesser Runes and Runes will no longer drop.
• Rogue Exiles will always have appropriate Tier Runes socketed into dropped items relative to their item levels.
• Sceptres can now have sockets, and we've added a new set of Talisman modifiers for Sceptres to allow upgrades to your Minions at mid to late game.

Totem Changes

• All Totem Skills now start gaining Elemental Resistances and Chaos Resistance, scaling up with Skill level, from around Gem level 13. At gem level 20 they have +75% to all Elemental Resistances and +35% to Chaos Resistances.
• IronwoodIronwoodSupport, Totem
  Tier: 2Support Requirements: +5 StrSupports Skills which create Totems. Totems created by Supported Skills have additional Elemental Resistances.Totems summoned by Supported Skills have +10% to all Maximum Elemental Resistances

You cannot have multiple copies of the same Support Gem socketed at the same time. Support now also grants Totems summoned by supported skills +10% to all Maximum Elemental Resistance.

Light Stun Changes

• Moderately reduced the capacity for monsters to Light Stun you especially towards Cruel and Endgame by lowering the amount of Stun-Damage they deal, and increasing the minimum they must deal to Light Stun you. Additionally, Elemental, Chaos and Ranged stun-damage has been penalised even further so you're less likely to get stunned by random stray projectiles and other things of the sort. These changes don't affect Light Stuns dealt by players.
• We've added a cluster to the Passive Skill Tree near Chaos Inoculation that allows you to invest into a heavy amount of Stun and Ailment Threshold based on your Energy Shield. We will be adding more Stun mitigation later around the tree, notably in the Dextrous section.
