Energy Blade is all about making melee weapons deal a lot of extra lightning damage based on the character's Energy Shield, opening up a new niche for Path of Exile players. There are also several new Skill Gems in Path of Exile: Scourge, including Energy Blade, Temporal Rift, Tornado, Poisonous Concoction, and Link skills for party play. Furthermore, these Maps can be anointed up to nine times, and they can be a source for the new Scourge Uniques. The second challenge comes with Blight-ravaged Maps, where monsters are much stronger and the area level is always 85. These new Breachstones can be acquired in Maven encounters, and they are much harder than regular ones.

The first is Uber Breach, which can be accessed by placing a Flawless Breachstone in the Map Device. These are very welcome changes that are based on the community's feedback since up to now it has always been very difficult and tiring to complete the Atlas for numerous reasons, as map sustain in the endgame, and it also inherently reduces the number of required Watchstones to 16.Īs for past Leagues, with Path of Exile: Scourge GGG is adding new ways to challenge Uber content in the game. Not only that, though, as GGG is also removing a bunch of maps in order to bring the total to around one hundred different maps, excluding all of the Unique ones from the count. The Atlas of Worlds is undergoing huge changes as well with Path of Exile: Scourge, as its regions are going down from eight to four.
