Path of Exile turns the temperature up on its ignite skills

Path of Exile is a great game to indulge your inner pyromaniac in a safe, controlled fashion, and it’s only going to be a better release when Patch 3.3.0 arrives. Grinding Gear Games is expending time and effort to improve fire-based active and passive skills for the upcoming content addition to the game.

There are a lot of changes in store for fire skills, but the gist of it all is that the team is buffing fire nearly across the board. A better Heart of Flame? Done. An impressive 25% boost to Ignite? It’s there. A scarier flameblast, larger fireballs, and more ways to ignite the world and watch everything burn? It’s all there and more.

“Our testing of these balance changes so far has gone well and there are several ignite-focused builds that are now more enjoyable to level and more effective in end-game content,” the studio said.

And how about a new tiny goatman pet? Aww, he’s adorably disturbing!
