More new features in PoE 2
The 0.2.0 update will introduce a minor yet useful quality-of-life change that will allow us to block the equipment held in our character's hands. In this way, we will be able to use the same items in the first and second set of weapons. The change, while initially appearing small, delighted some players who will use it, for instance, to create distinct sets for map clearing and boss battles.
GGG previously presented 5 support skills, however, they noted that there will be more. Now we have gained insight into two.
- Battershout - can be combined with abilities of the "Warcry" type. As a result, their use causes an explosion of physical damage to enemies whose armor has been completely destroyed. However, these abilities don't have the option to destroy the opponent.
- Perfection - supports abilities that have the "perfect timing" feature, meaning they are enhanced if cast at the right moment. If we succeed, we will receive a buff called "perfection," which adds 5% damage and can stack up to 3 times.
The last of the innovations revealed today are graphic and audio improvements. Although we didn't receive any sound sample, the developers presented an improved look of the essence, which you can see below.
The exact release date for the 0.2.0 update is unknown, but according to the devs, it is expected to launch later this month.
