Path of Exile 2's first update doesn't have a release date yet, but we already know what's getting nerfed once it's available.
that are active in the game right now, but those issues aren’t stopping the momentum of the nerf hammer one bit. Grinding Gear Games, the developer of, has been keeping players update on those issues since the launch this week but returned on Saturday with a different sort of update to confirm what’s being nerfed first. That update in question that’ll bring that nerf isn’t out yet, but when it does release, one particular skill is taking a hit: Supercharged Slam.
“Supercharged Slam is unfortunately dealing far too much damage than was intended given the short channel window required to hit maximum stages,” Grinding Gear Games said over on Twitter/X. “We are imminently going to be reducing its damage. As much as we are trying to avoid nerfing skills and builds, it is better to do this early before it feels obligatory to use the skill.
“We will be starting with a heavy damage reduction on the ability in the next hotfix, which should be out within an hour,” Grinding Gear Games said. “At a later time we will be making further adjustments to how long it takes to build up charges, as it is far too quick at the moment.”Supercharged Slam is unfortunately dealing far too much damage than was intended given the short channel window required to hit maximum stages.
is only just now in early access as of this week, so despite anyone’s attempts to treat it like a full, finished game, seeing nerfs like this come through are exactly what you should be expecting from a game which is essentially unfinished. The hopes expressed byplayers, however, are that the ability will be nerfed but not dashed into bits since people acknowledged that it was too strong but still want to see it viable.
