Any plans to allow Leap Slam be usable with unarmed?

I don't believe so. I passed that feedback on at the end of Delirium so I suspect it would have been part of today's reveal if we were going ahead with it or had future plans for it.

Where does atlas reshuffle fall under? Is it even happening anymore after the new expansion?

It's usually part of the item filter information alongside patch notes.

Path of Voices has been limited to a maximum of 1 would be a mouthful though. :P

and misleading ;)

We have plans

I read that as "nerf manifesto"

We actually called one of the previous manifestos “Path of Nerfs” but not everybody liked that.

u/Bex_GGG can you confirm whether earthshatter explosions can proc on hit effects like bleed, ngamahu balls, bone novas, etc.?

They do, yes.

Wait this music is straight fire

HYPE

The soundtrack is Templar's Pride from the Oriath Mystery Box.

I don't usually play melee, but those skills look amazing. Does anyone know what soundtrack this is? I think it's a boss theme, but I'm pretty sure it's not Innocence because I had that running in my hideout for a while. Is it Chamber of Innocence or Kitava or something?

Also, Doryani's Touch being a slam is amazing. I can't wait to see how much stuff can be stacked into that now.

are we going to get a video or anything explaining how Fist of War support works? I really want to see how it works?

I’ll downvote myself too, don’t worry guys.

Fist of War is used throughout much of that video.

Is the launch confirmed for Friday 6/19 (USA time)? Or is there still flexibility in that it may move around?

Thank you and we all appreciate your and the team’s hard work!!!!

It's extremely unlikely that the date would change at this point.

Consecrated Path lookin' fresh. Every second slam changes colour? Maybe more damage/area?

That's the Fist of War support.

Will there be a general 2hander info post? Like changes to 2handers beyond some unique reworks, slam skills and warcries?

I assumed there would be base changes to the items and some passives/ascendancies. Or are the changes largely a culmination of warcries, slams and unique reworks?

We've also buffed two-handed base types and there is better support for two-handers on the passive tree but yes in general it's a culmination of all of the above. We may cover some of it in the manifesto (I don't know yet) but it should at least be covered in the patch notes. Also to be super honest the manifesto is mostly about explaining nerfs before you see them in the patch notes to give them more context and insight into our goals. Buffs are usually in the patch notes (ie This is a buff).

In Path of Exile: Harvest, we've created a new category of skills called 'Slams'. We've introduced one new support and one new slam skill while several existing skills have been recategorised as Slams. Today's news post reveals which skills are now considered slams, how they've been improved and information about the new Slam called Earthshatter!
In general, we're looking to provide more support for two-handed playstyles and builds that hit slower but hit harder. These changes come alongside improvements to two-handed base types, more passive skill tree support, improvements to Warcries and more.

The Fist of War Support

Alongside our announcement of Harvest, we revealed the new Fist of War Support that works with all slams except Vaal Slams and Ancestral Warchief. Every few seconds an ancestor appears above your character and performs your slam in unison with you, creating a supercharged slam dealing much more damage with an increased Area of Effect...

Come on and slam and welcome to the Jam

Lol this was originally called 'Come on and Slam' on YouTube.

As somebody who made over 200 exalts in the first 3 weeks of the league crafting tailwind/elusive boots, this makes me a saaaaaad panda for next league. But i was planning on going SSF anyways, so this change is probably pretty dope for everybody else. Nice work GGG, I appreciate all the content and effort you guys put into the game! Now if only we heard back about the sword cosmetic issue on the supporter pack.... ;)

Well it feels that you'r withholding a lot of information about new league for the purpose of keeping up the hype, instead of releasing as much as you can as soon as you can. For someone that would like to plan a build right now based on nerf/buffs incoming that's annoying. IE: we don't know what cluster jewels nodes will be nerfed(aside to purposful harbinger).

We use all of the development time that we have so there are small changes that happen even in the final day. The earlier we release the patch notes, the more changes that happen between when they were announced and when the patch goes live so it renders them less useful. We also need time to compile the notes which is super time consuming especially when we also then translate them. The day that we post them is the best compromise for allowing us time to prepare them, allowing you at least some time to prepare for launch with as few changes as possible.
