Today we are mainly discussing the changes to Blighted Map and league mechanic that have been announced, especially some changes to the way of obtaining rewards, which we need to know.
Prismatic Oil has been added to Blighted Map. This item can be used to apply to amulets. This item is very similar to the one that existed in Vengeant Cascade of a few leagues ago, but has been nerfed and almost no one is using it.
Path of Exile 3.25 has added some other features and is at a more reasonable level. So I think Prismatic Oil will become rare. But the developers said that it is only from Blighted Map.
Blighted Map
So far, if you have Singular Focus in the game, then you can quickly and easily obtain oil in the game. This can quickly achieve your goals when trading.
Getting Golden Oil is a joy, but it’s not an amazing drop. I think they might add a drop in Blighted Maps, but it’s more common than Stranglegasp, which is a drop in Blight-Ravaged Maps. These are just my guesses and may be wrong.
I think the developers named this oil Prismatic instead of just a color, which represents the specialness of this thing.
Incorporeal Anoint
This first New Anoint is Incorporeal anoint, which is a pretty beneficial effect for you when you use Elusive mechanic.
But if you have a small amount of Elusive mechanic, it’s not so good. It will prevent restarting elusive back at full strength. It will disappear when it is below 20%, which is a short-term nerf to your combat effectiveness.
After it disappears, you can regain Elusive, and it will start again at full strength. At this time, you may get more than 100% enhancement, so Elusive is more suitable for finishing boss fights quickly.
But it’s not like that. It may be a powerful item, but it’s not necessarily good. I personally think it’s just a medium power anoint, because it needs to use Prismatic,but it’s particularly expensive and need to buy POE Currency to support it.
Mixed Munitions Anoint
This second type is Mixed Munitions anoint. Completing this quest raised by Mixed Munitions anoint will get you a bonus. After we detonate a mine, we can get a 5% increased cooldown recovery rate.
I think there are several primary uses. Cooldown recovery rate is just a more useful data. If you are using certain types of cooldown traps, Seismic Trap can be said to be the most popular. In addition, there are Flamethrower Trap, lightning spire trap, etc., which are very interesting to me.
In addition, there are many things in Lightning Spire Trap that can still replace ailments. Brittle, Scorch, these have great potential, but it is difficult to inflict on enemies. There is a way to do this, Lightning Spire Trap of Overloading.
First, we need to have a weapon that provides flat cold and flat fire spells and then we need to replicate Malachai’s Artifice, so that Lightning Spire Trap of Overloading will have the potential to get 100% Critical Strike and inflict on enemies.
Let’s go back to Mixed Munitions anoint speaking, it gives you some advanced trap support applied to your cooldown traps, you just use your character and spam mines, these mines will act as an additional source of damage for your character or as a buff or as a primary clear skill.
For example, Exsanguinate is linked to them, but in Seismic Trap it is used for tankier rares and for big bosses, of course there are many options, which means there are many ways to get POE items.
Oil Extractors
Another thing is that I think we should be wary of actual role of Prismatic Oil and Blight Atlas Tree Nodes (Oil Extractors) inside. Blighted bosses may drop anything of the game. You might get a ring of Golden Oil or Silver Oil that you don’t need.
But sometimes you need Golden Oil or Silver Oil, you need to use Oil Extractors, but it’s random whether you get good or bad oil.
But if you have Prismatic Oil, you can put it in a pool with Distilled fungus, and the situation will be different. Interact with Sporeguard to remember it.
And most people don’t equip it as is, apply anoint to it, fly it around Icefang Orbit, or even put it in a double corruption room, hoping it will become a rare item.
If it does become a rare item, then we will still apply Tainted Mythic Orb to it, and hope to get Ivory Tower. Lvory Tower generated in this case will have some blight anointment as an enchantment on it than the normal Ivory Tower.
There are other items that can do this, such as Cowl of Thermophile, Breathstealer, Stampede, etc. These items are unique to Blighted Map and can be given anointments which will turn them into rare items.
If there is nothing good in Prismatic Oil pool, then we have to talk about opportunities. Logically, a character should only have one anointment, which is Whispers of Doom by default, or nodes related to Aura.
These are very powerful in Path of Exile 3.24. Whispers of Doom allow you to have two curses, which are different from other nodes. So your build also relies on some specific builds.
So we need to check this patch notes to see if there is any mention of nerfing Whispers of Doom. If his role is still so powerful, it will be used anyway.
The above is some of the content we want to introduce about Path of Exile 3.25. For more information, we can wait for the official announcement of the full content.
