We covered the controversial plan to overhaul the Node War and Conquest systems in Black Desert Online a little bit ago, well now the patch has gone live, or least it’s attempting to. As of writing, the servers have had sporadic bugs and outages that are potentially a result of failed patch implementations. As far
Traps and Mines are one of the more under-utilized build categories in Path of Exile, but with 3.3 and the Incursion League, these mechanics underwent a major revamp that made them much more enjoyable and viable. Check out some of our Incursion League coverage to learn more about the modified trap mechanics in POE. The
Pokemon GO is a game all about making friends, and whether those friends are humans or tiny monsters, the message is the same, get out there and socialize. At it’s core Pokemon GO is a social game, and the focus for Niantic has clearly been on that aspect over the last two years. One of
Magic-Find is a standard build in action RPGs like Path of Exile, so it tends to be a very popular build in every Challenge League. The amount of Currency and Rare/Unique items which can be gained from a dedicated MF character is well-worth the investment. However, I would never run this as a League starter
The next update for Final Fantasy XIV, version 4.4, is coming soon. The patch will carry the title “Prelude in Violet” and will come in mid-September. This is a pretty big update, so let’s dive in. Today, during the latest “Letter from the Producer Live” Final Fantasy XIV broadcast on Twitch, Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida
A while back Square Enix and Capcom announced that they would work on a series of in-game events and content that crossed over between Monster Hunter World and Final Fantasy XIV. We’ve already seen the Behemoth heading for Monster Hunter, now let’s take a look at Rathalos, who is inbound for the lands of Final
The Black Desert Online forum got a brief post to let players know that there will be some “exciting Node and Conquest Wars” changes coming to the game starting July 22nd. Players were warned that the modes were to be taken offline for a week so the backend code could be updated. The new version
This build is all about simplicity in every aspect. There are some basic flask management skills, and gear requirements that you need, but that’s it. If you’ve leveled a melee character to end-game before, you’re golden with this build. And even if you’re brand new, you can run this build easily with minimal time investment.
Blade Vortex is a bit of a niche skill with its limited range. But luckily, it’s still really strong in Path of Exile 3.3 thanks to Crit and Elemental Damage scaling. The build also relies on reliable crits for shocks and freezes to slow down incoming DPS. The mechanics are also really simple, just stay
Arc has always been a strong build in Path of Exile, and it’s even better in patch 3.3, with some interesting buffs to various Totem and Aura mechanics. This build can receive major DPS buffs when using the best gear, but that’s pretty expensive, luckily it’s fairly flexible, so it’s possible to run this build
The annual Summer Festival is returning to Neverwinter starting on July 12th and running through August 2nd. The Summer Festival event invites players to worship the goddess Sune, the goddess of beauty, by competing in various in-game events for lots of rewards. Summer Festival Events Sahha Ball – All the way from Amn, the popular 5
This guide assumes a base level understanding of loot and gameplay mechanics in Path of Exile. Refer to our new player guide to POE and our basic end-game mapping guide for more details on those systems if you need them. A lot of Path of Exile players enjoy the game itself, but tend to hate
Another day, another POE build for Path of Exile 3.3, this time it’s all about a build so good that it can even be run as a Solo Self-Found (SSF) build. Say hello to Dual Vaal Reave. This is a fast-moving, very high clearspeed build that wants to keep Vaal Reave up as much as
Content Warning: This article features discussion of, and references/links to, harassment and sexual violence. You have been warned. In yet another unsurprising turn of events, a female game developer was mobbed by reactionaries online, for being rude to someone pulling the “actually. . .” card; something that any woman has dealt with, and are probably
Based on heavy feedback regarding the viability of tank classes in PvP, Bioware is making some massive shifts for ALL tank-based disciplines in the 5.9.2 patch to Star Wars: The Old Republic. The primary change relates to how Critical Hits interact with Shield and Absorb abilities. One of the topics we have seen quite a
Path of Exile is one of those games that defines a genre. As a free-to-play action RPG, it’s the best example of that genre in modern times. Since its initial release, we’ve seen updates upon updates that have given the game a transcendent and evolutionary feel that adds to its general mystique and ultimate allure.
Build Pros Scales well into the end-game Very easy to manage due to simplicity of mechanics Great league starter with budget gear for lower content Build Cons Early game is a bit slow Not very Budget Friendly at end-game with optimal gear Clear speed isn’t the best, so Incursions can be annoying Passive Tree(s) Recommended

This guide builds on a basic understanding of gameplay and league mechanics in Path of Exile. It’s highly recommended to check out both the 3.0 Beginner’s Guide, and the patch 3.2 guide.

The 3.3.0 Path of Exile patch, and the associated Incursion League, come out tomorrow. So that means it’s time to start reading through the patch notes.
