Path of Exile is already a notoriously difficult game to get into, and adding another passive tree isn't quite helping. But this tree is only for those who reach and continue to push the post-story system of maps, and those people are quite excited due to the amount of customization this new tree offers. Ultimately, this league offers a lot of great changes that new and veteran players can look forward to. The week leading up to the new league is always tough to suffer through, but planning out new builds and feeling the community vibe during this time never gets old.

Isometric RPGs are eating away all of my gaming time – Destructoid

If you ain't playin' isometric RPGs then where you at?

I don't have as much free time in my life now that the school year has started up again. Instead, I'm teaching kids about history or planning on how best to teach kids about history, or coaching kids on how to run faster. Teaching and coaching are time-consuming, ya know? But every once and a while, I do get some downtime to just sit in front of my computer and chill. As I sit down to relax on any given day and look at my recently played games list, it's easy to notice a pattern: they are all isometric RPGs.

Between Path of Exile, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, Diablo II: Resurrected, and Gamedec, there is something within this subgenre for just about anyone. I haven't spent a ton of time on any single one of these (Path of Exile being an exception), but I did want to take some time and talk about each one a bit.


Path of Exile: Expedition
The latest Path of Exile expansion is nearing the end of its cycle, and I did pour a good amount of time into it. I leveled three characters to levels 82, 84, and 87. This is probably the first league in a while that I didn't hit 90 on at least one character. This was the so-called nerfs league, and boy did some of them hit hard. The mana struggles are real, people! I played a Pathfinder to start the league and so I didn't feel the flask nerfs until I started playing other characters, and those were pretty rough too. Some of the mana changes were altered after the league was underway, and Grinding Gear Games stated that they went a bit too hard on both flask and mana nerfs, so hopefully 3.16 brings some welcome buffs.

The actual league content of Expedition has been great, though. The new NPCs are exciting to play around with (except the gambling Gwennen, she's boring) and I hope Tujen and Rog stay around in some permanent fashion moving forward. The Expedition maps are also exciting, and I love the ability to choose the mods I'm up against. This league has also been super profitable while doing the league-specific content, which has allowed me to experiment with some of the new skills. My quick rundown of the skills I was able to play around with: If you want to buy MMoexp POE currency trade please visit https://www.mmoexp.com/Path-of-exile/Currency.html .
