Path of Exile 2 Update 1.007 Is Out Now This December 9
The recent announcement from Grinding Gear about this mentions, “Currently, it’s a bit too easy to detonate Gas Cloud explosions when combined with persistent Ignite skills like Flame Wall. We’ll be adjusting the explosion damage of both Gas Grenade and Gas Arrow for now in an upcoming hotfix.
In addition to that, the studio confirms it’ll be changed more in the future, adding, “we want to update it such that the potency of the Ignite or Detonator contributes to determining the damage of the Gas Cloud explosions, that way we would be able to avoid balancing around the simplest and most efficient way to apply Ignites.”
There’s no official patch notes released just yet, but once the studio makes anything known, we’ll add it to the article. As for the known issues, they are still the same as in the previous patch.
