you don’t spill the soup the same way you don’t spill the red potion in Diablo
oops, i completely forgot to update you guys yesterday. there isnt much concrete stuff that came, mostly just idle discussion.
only thing known for sure is that shields will get runes, and two-handers will now have 8 rune slots to compensate.

So is there any new update release mentioned? Bc its been a long time and poe 2 is a mess^^
The guy saying the runes could be more than just attacks is on point, something like feather fall would be great, just rip off some D&D spells like that and we should have some very good runes.
Detect enemies, detect magic or chests, detect hidden if they add some secret doors, since that knock on the wall asks for it. Bless to boost damage and so on, could make for a fun cleric build on coop too.

thanks for updating. ive been procrastinating too much on it.
if anyone’s too lazy to read all that, here’s all the info i’ve gathered, in a more buttoned-up fashion:
-
classes in No Rest for the Wicked are preset builds designed by the developers. think of it like a build guide that’s made by the actual game’s designers.
-
factions are the houses for these classes. by joining a faction (such as, say, the hunter’s league), you gain access to view all the classes that faction has to offer, and you can build your character accordingly.
-
there are currently 40 class ideas thomas has put together for the team, as you saw above, split between 11 factions. these classes/factions have NOT been fully reviewed yet by the rest of the development team.
-
since certain factions are tied to attributes (strength, dexterity, so on), we don’t know how respec is going to function with this.
-
there isn’t much we can take away from this. all we know is that this system is intended to make it so players don’t have to google build guides to have decent stats.
