The biggest sleeper change/nerf that impacts all players:

  • Player base Ailment Threshold is now half of Maximum Life (previously all of Maximum Life).

Oooooooooooooffffffffffffffff. Are we on our way back to the nerfed POE1 ailments (on players) where mapping without being immune is not possible? Anyone remembers mapping with +cold conversion damage where literally every monster hit freezes the players?

There's another nerf that this multiplies with.

Setting a stat to a specific value (such as Chaos Inoculation setting your life to 1 or Blood Magic setting your mana to 0) now occurs before conversion is applied to that stat, rather than being ignored by conversion

Oh holy shit. So now if you run CI you have zero ailment resistance as a baseline. Wow that makes it a lot riskier

Yeah. There's a frozen immunity cluster near CI, and ES stun reduction in several spots across the tree (too many spots really, why so much?). But very few ways to stop shock and ignite outside of charms.

So I hope they change a bunch of the ES stun threshold nodes to be any ailment threshold.
