Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for Path of Exile 2 version 0.3.0c released by Grinding Gear Games.

Changes and Improvements

• There is now a short grace period at the start of a sprint where being hit will not heavy stun you. This is equal to the minimum sprint duration, so you can now never be stunned out of an accidental sprint. The minimum sprint duration has been increased slightly to support this change.
• The Undying Will Monster modifier no longer affects other Rare Monsters with Undying Will.
• Players can no longer revive if they die while having a stolen Kurgal's Last Gasp modifier.
• The duration of the ground effects from the Infested Cadaver and Blackblooded Proboscite Abyssal Monsters has been halved.
• Zelina, Blood Priestess no longer heals from her attacks that hit player minions.
• The sorcerers surrounding Torvian, Hand of the Saviour's arena now have visuals indicating when they are actively empowering Torivan.
• Various skills used by The Prisoner are now red-flash abilities.
• Improved how the Vessel of Kulemak's cold beams function in party play.
• Draiocht Hengestones, Karui Beacons, and Temporal Tether all now dynamically spawn near the player on Map completion.
• Many Act Four Monsters can now be bound as Spectres.
• Ancestral Warrior Totem now uses the weapon in the Weapon Set it has been assigned to, and no longer disappears if swapping to an invalid weapon or Weapon Set.
• The Gemling Legionnaire's Integrated Efficiency Passive Skill now actually applies by modifying each skill, which means those modifications also apply to minions from those skills. The description has been updated to clarify that the bonuses also apply in the case where supports and skills are socketed together in meta gems.
• Chance to not consume crossbow ammo stats found on Ammo Conversation support gems and the Passive Skill Tree now roll their chance per ammo spent instead of once per skill use, meaning they interact correctly with the Hailstorm Rounds skill. Their wording has been updated accordingly.
• Volcanic Fissure's fissure limit is now displayed and can be modified by sources of + to limit.
• Toxic Domain now requires a Bow, Spear, or Crossbow to use.
• The His Scattering Calamity Skill granted by The Unborn Lich Unique Staff now has "Duration between Launching Wellsprites is 1.2 seconds", which can be affected by modifiers to Skill Effect Duration.
• The Turn the Clock Forward Notable Passive Skill once again provides 15% increased Projectile Speed.
• The Fairgraves' Curse Unique Bow can once again be obtained.
• Added a button to the character selection screen to have your character be logged into town/hideout instead of the last area. This is identical to the existing behaviour where you can Ctrl + Click on the login button.
• Boulder Ants are no longer considered beasts, and have been temporarily disabled as a Spectre.
• Updated the wording on Omen of the Sovereign, Omen of the Liege and Omen of the Blackblooded to clarify that they can only be used with Weapons and Jewellery.
• Updated the Molten Shrine world map icon to indicate that it provides a permanent bonus.
• Improved the performance of some Abyssal Monster skill effects.
• Improved audio telegraphing for some Abyssal Monster skills.
• Improved the performance of some Abyssal Monster modifiers.
• Improved the performance of the Benedictus, First Herald of Utopia boss fight.
• Improved the telegraphing of Benedictus, First Herald of Utopia's maze skills.
• Improved the visibility of The Seven Pillars world map icon for Qimah.
• Improved stash and stash settings navigation when using a controller.
• The Hostile Takeover Quest can now be completed by speaking to Ange in any of your Hideouts. Previously, this quest could only be completed by speaking to Ange in Shoreline Hideout specifically.
• The Stash and Guild Stash in The Ziggurat Refuge have swapped locations.
• Dodge Roll Effects and Level-up Effects are now listed under their own sections in the 'Extra' tab of the Cosmetics panel.
• Re-enabled the Demonfire Ember Fusillade microtransaction.
• Time of Need's audio no longer plays in hideout areas.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where you could be unable to dodge roll out of sprinting with the "Keep Sprinting While Moving" option selected.
• Fixed a bug where you could not target objects while sprinting.
• Fixed a bug where Crossbows occasionally jammed and ignored reload/shoot inputs when the reload button was released too soon.
• Fixed a bug with Herald of Plague where anything that caused the ongoing buff to recalculate, such as changing the reservation amount, caused it to add the base spread radius to itself again.
• Fixed a bug with Berserk where anything that caused the ongoing buff to recalculate, such as changing the reservation amount, caused it to add the base stats to itself again.
• Fixed a bug where the Feast of Flesh Skill was not granting any recovery on consuming a corpse.
• Fixed a bug where the following skills were not scaling with modifiers to area damage: Toxic Growth, Magma Barrier, Whirlwind Lance (whirlwind only), Freezing Mark, Voltaic Mark, and Bloodhound's Mark.
• Fixed a bug which caused Blasphemy to become indefinitely disabled in a weapon set after you failed to meet the Spirit requirements for it.
• Fixed a bug where leech applied to you by totems via the Font supports was much higher than it should be due to not being affected by enemy leech reduction.
• Fixed a bug where leech applied to you by totems via the Font supports did not account for level scaling in party play.
• Fixed a bug where Living Lightning Support was not triggering correctly after the explosion of a Poison Cloud.
• Fixed a bug where Rapid Casting III was not providing increased Cast Speed for each different Spell you had Cast in the last eight seconds.

• Fixed an issue preventing Orb of Storms and Solar Orb from being supported by Unleash. These skills are still unintentionally unable to be supported by Spell Echo and Spell Cascade — this will be fixed at a later date.
