原文:https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1773975


The Breach Challenge League:
- Challenge leagues are a great opportunity for a fresh start in a new economy.
All of your old characters and items are still present in the Standard and
Hardcore leagues, but you're encouraged to join the new leagues, complete
challenges and demonstrate your mastery of Path of Exile!
- With 2.5.0, there are Standard and Hardcore variations of the Breach
challenge league available. They have the same core mechanics and items.
- Tears in the fabric of reality have formed throughout Wraeclast. Engage them
to expose an alternate realm and reveal those who dwell there. Slay monsters
inside the Breach to keep it open long enough to reap your bounty.
- Deep in the Breach, you may draw the ire of horrific new bosses: Breachlords.
The more damage you inflict on them, the more treasure they'll part with
during their escape.
- Among the riches found in the Breach, you may also encounter Splinters.
Combine 100 Splinters of the same type together to create a Breachstone. When
placed in the Map Device, a Breachstone allows travel into a Breachlord's
Domain, the one place where they are truly vulnerable.
- Monsters from the Breach drop new unique items that are specific to their
Domain. When slain in their Domain, Breachlords are able to drop Blessings
that allow these new uniques to be upgraded.
- There are a total of 35 new unique items specific to the Breach league.
- The new challenge leagues include a set of 40 new challenges. When you
complete 12 challenges, you will receive the Breach Footprints Effect. At 24,
you will receive the Breach Portal Effect. When you complete your 36th
challenge, you will receive the Demonic Wings Back Attachment. These
microtransactions are only obtainable in this league.
- From the 19th challenge onwards and for every third challenge after that, you
will receive pieces of the Breach Totem Pole decoration to display in your
hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Breach
challenges you completed during the league.

New Content:
- Added 55 new unique items, 35 of which are exclusive to the Breach challenge
league.
- Added a new Intelligence/Dexterity Support Gem - Cast while Channelling:
While casting supported channelling skills, trigger another linked spell at
regular intervals, with a small damage penalty. This support gem is available
from the Sharp and Cruel quest reward in Cruel difficulty for the Witch,
Templar, Shadow and Scion. It is available for all classes from Petarus and
Vanja after completing The Eternal Nightmare in Normal difficulty. There's a
new Channelling tag on relevant skill gems.
- Added a new Neutral Skill Gem - Vaal Breach: Creates a Breach at your
location, making you vulnerable to its powerful inhabitants.
- Before her rescue, Navali is now guarded by The Faun.
- Very early areas in Act One have been cosmetically improved.
Hellions have had their art replaced with a new model.

New Features:
- Many of 2.5.0's features including the new renderer were deployed early with
update 2.4.2. Thank you for your testing and feedback.
- The DirectX 9 renderer is still the default. You can change to the DirectX 11
renderer in the options. We will make the DirectX 11 renderer the default
once we're sure there are no remaining problems.
- Melee action targeting has been greatly improved.
The challenge and achievements panel now has progress bars for numeric
challenges. Your overall challenge progress and challenge reward milestones
are also shown.
- Weapons now display their range on their item descriptions.
- Improved early tutorials.
- Added support for the slash symbol in Premium Stash Tab price fields.
- Various improvements to preloading have been made.

Essence Changes:
- Added the contents of the Essence League to the core game. You can now find
monsters trapped in Essences throughout Wraeclast, but at a lower rate than
when it was the current challenge league.
- The rate of finding multiple essences at once has been significantly
increased in maps (especially higher maps).
- At level 47 areas and above, Whispering Essences can no longer appear.
- At level 67 areas and above, Muttering Essences can no longer appear.
- The values of mods from Wailing Essences of Woe and above have been reduced,
resulting in a notably lower value of all mods from higher-tier Woe essences.
- Fixed a minor issue where the Muttering Essence of Woe amulet mod granted
values that were 1% too low.
- The gloves mod from Essence of Insanity now grant "Socketed gems have 16%
More Attack and Cast Speed" (down from 20%). Existing items will not be
changed.
- The weapon mod from Essence of Horror now grants a 16% chance to gain a
power, frenzy or endurance charge on kill (up from 10%). Old versions of this
mod can be updated using a Divine Orb.
- The weapon mod from Essence of Delirium now deals 750 chaos damage per second
for 10 seconds (down from 1,000).

Map Mod Changes:
- A large variety of new map mods have been added to the map pool.
- The "Grounded", "Molten" and "Incombustible" map mods that granted specific
elemental resistance will no longer appear on maps. They've been succeeded by
a new global elemental and chaos resistance map mod with lower values.
- The "of Stasis" mod that previously prevented player life and mana
regeneration will now also prevent energy shield regeneration. Existing
versions of the mod will continue to prevent only life and mana regeneration.
- The "of Smothering" map mod now only affects recovery rate of Life and Energy
Shield, no longer affecting mana recovery. This includes existing versions of
the mod.
- The "Splitting" mod previously added multiple projectiles at yellow and red
tier maps. They now only add two projectiles at all tiers. Existing mods will
not update unless a Divine orb is used on the map.
- "of Hemomancy", the mod that gave all characters Blood Magic, will no longer
appear on maps.
- "of Exposure" will now reduce maximum resistances by a lower amount. In
mid-tier maps, it'll reduce maximum elemental resistances by -5% to -8% now.
In higher-tier maps, it'll reduce maximum elemental resistances by -9% to
-12%. Existing mods will not update unless a Divine orb is used on the map.
- The "of Frenzy", "of Endurance" and "of Power" mods will no longer appear, as
they could cause performance issues in areas with many monsters.

General Balance Changes:
- Increased the range of all melee weapons. This is also a significant buff to
the radius of Cyclone.
- In addition to the existing Forsaken Masters "quality of life" improvements
made in 2.4.2, the experience progression of non-Zana Masters has been
adjusted. It is now 30% easier to reach level 8 from 7, 20% easier to reach
level 7 from 6 and 10% easier to reach level 6 from 5.
- The Sextant Mod for additional currency items from Nemesis monsters is now
only available on red maps.
- Many monsters in end-game maps have been rebalanced, fixing cases where they
did too little damage.
- Reduced the damage of the bosses in the Overgrown Ruin map and chaos Warbands
leaders in general.
- Increased the damage of the bosses in the Shipyard map and lightning Warbands
leaders in general.
- Reduced monster pack density in the Twilight Strand slightly.
- Increased most totem damage, totem additional physical damage reduction and
totem attack and cast speed skills in the passive tree by 20-25%. This
doesn't apply to the Totemic Mastery notable passive.

- Bleeding effects from non-puncture sources are now affected by the same
(additive and multiplicative) duration modifiers as bleeding effects from
puncture sources.

Unique Item Balance Changes:
- Cospri's Malice and Mjölner now have 250ms cooldowns on triggering socketed
skills (up from 100ms).

- The Aylardex now has an additional property: "80-100% increased Power Charge
Duration". This change does not apply to old versions of this item. Using a
Divine Orb on this item doesn't cause the new stat to appear.
- Nuro's Harp now has an additional property: "40% increased effect of Chilled
Ground". This change does not apply to old versions of this item. Using a
Divine Orb on this item doesn't cause the new stat to appear.

A Divine Orb can be used to reroll the stats within this new range.
- Energy From Within's additional energy shield has been reduced to 3-6%. A
Divine Orb can be used to reroll the stats within this new range.

Skill Balance Changes:
- Blade Vortex has been refactored. Instead of separate hits for each active
blade, the blades now increase the frequency at which all enemies in the
radius take damage, and the amount of damage they take. The skill now has a
base hit frequency of 600ms and has 10% increased hit rate per active blade.
Its damage has been reduced by 30% at all levels and it deals 30% more damage
per active blade.
- Reduced the maximum number of Summoned Raging Spirits to 20, but we have also
increased damage as the gem levels up to compensate. It's intended to be a
similar damage output but with less casting needed and less effective area of
effect.
- Ancestral Warchief now does 10% less damage at all levels. Fixed behaviour
with the center of the slam being significantly further away than the totem's
melee range. The skill now has +10 melee range at all levels, and the slam
will always be centered at melee range away from the totem.
- Scorching Ray now deals 10% more damage at gem level 20, tapered down to no
change at gem level 1.

60% more attack speed at all levels. Blade Flurry's targeting range has been
reduced by 16.6%, and the damage radius of slashes has been reduced by 14.2%.
- Blight's damage has been increased by 5% damage at level 1 of the gem, up to
35% more damage at level 20 of the gem.
- Totems and all other minions now have 40% elemental resistance and 20% chaos
resistance. This also includes minions that didn't have resistances
previously, like wolves.

element. Chaos Golems now have 60% resistance to Chaos.
- Flame Golem's damage has been increased by 200%.
- Ice Golem's damage has been increased by 75%.

Summon Skeletons and Vaal Summon Skeletons skills now have a cast time of 0.8
seconds, down from 1 second.
- Some triggered skills can now find targets that are farther away than they
could before.

gem level 1, it has changed from -50% to -35%. At gem level 20, it has
changed from -31% to -26%.

multiplicative minion and totem elemental damage stat on it, scaling from 10%
at level 1 to 19% more elemental damage at gem level 20.

increased Onslaught duration, instead of 5% attack speed.

Flask Charge Generation on Critical Strike:
- A character can now only receive one flask charge per Critical Strike every
200ms. This is shared across all flasks.
- The Harvest and Master Surgeon now follow this rule. Instead of giving a
charge to each of your flasks, they will only grant it to one.
- The Master Surgeon Node now has 100% chance to trigger (up from 15%) to help
compensate for this change.

full passive skill reset.

passive skill screen. Note that you must use this before allocating or
refunding any other points otherwise the option will go away.
