Hello once again everyone, it’s time for a channel update. Please throw me any questions, feedback or requests you have!
Path of Exile is receiving one of its largest balance passes ever. While my guides can normally survive multiple leagues of minor changes, this time things are different. There are simply too many untested nerfs to Flasks, Mana Sustain, Support Gems and Defensive Layers. This dramatic reduction in power will also cause old gameplay trailers to inadvertently become misleading.
The end result is far too much disparity between the updated PoBs and the videos themselves. The guide I was planning to release at the launch of Expedition has unfortunately suffered the same fate, becoming instantly outdated. Though it will almost certainly be reworked into a new guide at some point this league.
So what does this mean for the channel? Essentially a soft reset. All of the old content will remain available but cannot be properly updated without massive issues. While this is horrible, it does provide me the opportunity to change gears completely. The guides simply take too long to produce, not enough get made and they can be outdated quickly. My production process has been overhauled. The end goal is a much faster turnaround time for each guide. Ideally around 2-2.5 weeks for each, or 4-5 guides a league.
I’ll be working hard to polish this new production style and rapidly rebuild my catalogue of active guides. Thank you to everyone for the incredible support you’ve shown the channel over the years. I completely understand that these changes are frustrating, but I believe this to be the best and only path forward. I hope you’ll stick with me during the next phase of the channel! Best of luck in Expedition league, many new guides will be on the way soon!

Hey there everyone! I’ve got a few announcements before the arrival of 3.14.
• A new build guide will be out within the first week or so of the league!
• After heavy consideration, some of my oldest guides are finally being retired.
This only includes the most outdated content on the channel, everything from Raise Zombie back to Wild Strike. The videos and current PoBs will remain up! However, each will be marked as outdated and support for them stopped.
I’ve done my best to keep the entire channel up to date each league. But the changes have added up, causing the oldest PoBs to diverge too heavily from the videos. I want to put the channels best foot forward and represent content I’m proud of. In the future aging content will be retired in much smaller batches. With some retired guides eventually receiving full remakes!
What guide should be remade first? Other questions, requests or feedback for me? Please comment below.
Thank you for the continued understanding and support everyone, best of luck in Ultimatum!

I've got a guide close to ready! Do you want to see the video...
• After the patch notes drop, fully updated and ready for the new league?
• As soon as possible (likely this weekend) even with Harvest ending soon?
It's an Ascendant I've been working on since BV launched. Should be a solid league starter and not super likely to get nerfed.
Thank you for the input everyone and best of luck in Heist!

How long do you want build guides from this channel to be? What is the ideal amount of depth for you?

Would you guys be interested in seeing me stream?
After releasing a guide I could stream the build in action and answer questions. Possibly even start streaming Path regularly. I wanted to gauge potential interest before possibly giving it a shot. Thank you for your feedback!
