Path of Exile Affliction adds over 100 skill gems to Diablo 4 rival

Path of Exile 3.23 will see "one of the biggest metagame shifts ever" as it introduces more than 100 new skill gems to the ARPG. The new Path of Exile Affliction league arrives in early December alongside patch 3.23, and promises to be a great way to spend the holiday season if you're a PoE veteran, have had your fill of Diablo 4 Season 2, or are just looking for a great free PC game to pass the time. PCGamesN had the chance to speak with Mark 'Neon' Roberts from Grinding Gear Games about the new league, and how it shifts the balance and encourages players to try something new.

Path of Exile 2 is building on a decade of action RPG depth, but it's the no-cooldown dodge roll I'm really psyched about

Since the dawn of time, or probably for a while at least, many an action RPG enthusiast has asked: why can I not spam the dodge button in [insert favourite ARPG]? It's a question I asked when I first clocked to Diablo 4's dodge, which has a cooldown so interminable (five seconds) that I never bothered to use it. Dodging feels good. Games should let you dodge, genre orthodoxies be damned.

Path of Exile 2 is doing it. The dodge in this long-awaited sequel has no cooldown whatsoever so you can spam the crap out of it. I recently spent a while with the ExileCon build of Path of Exile 2 and you better believe I spammed the crap out of that dodge. Even the druid's bear can do dodge rolls. Path of Exile 2 is shaping up to be the least uptight ARPG I've played...
