Path of Exile's melee overhaul is finally here

The Path of Exile is updated here, and it contains some of the most extended patch descriptions I have ever seen. The two most significant changes are, first, it adds a new "Term Challenge Alliance" in which you will visit the battlefield that freezes in time, smash the enemies to wake them up, and collect a lot of POE Currency and loot. Second, it includes the long-awaited melee overhaul of Action RPG, which should make it easier for players to target the enemy's faces.

When attacking, by default, you can hit multiple targets now - in the past, and the game will automatically select a destination for you. Now you can also use the action or action skills to interrupt the skill animation. As long as you haven't done any damage to your skills, you can immediately launch another capability.

Your accuracy is no longer limited to 95%, which means that the enemy will not be able to avoid specific attacks. Enemies with shields can block attacks, but they only block some incoming damage, not all.

The way enemies attack has also changed: they not only lock you, but they also inflate them with a 120-degree arc in front of them, which means you can avoid it if you are fast enough. Now, the enemy's attack speed is slower, making it easier to react with appropriate actions or skills before being attacked.

For the Legion Challenge Alliance, players will find boulders in the world, and they can activate these boulders to unfreeze the ancient battlefield and defeat the newly active soldiers. You will get a "beneficial return" from these soldiers, and you may even get debris and Path of Exile Currency, which you can break down into badges. Placing two or more markers on the map device will take you into the eternal conflict zone, where you will fight against some of the troops you have faced and powerful new generals.

The update also adds a long list of skill gems, POE Orbs, and POE Items, including incubators, which display their content only after killing a certain number of monsters. If you are interested, please pay attention to more content at POECurrency.
