Path of Exile previews more Delve stuff: Doryani’s Machinarium, instant skills, and Atlas tweaks

So much is going on in Path of Exile right now as Grinding Gear preps for the Delve League on August 31st. We touched on a couple of the graphical upgrades coming to the game earlier this week, but there’s plenty more in store!

• First, GGG posted up the details of its first-ever instant skills. Yep, stuff like mines and auras will finally be instant-cast.
• Delve’s new map, Doryani’s Machinarium, got a detailed profile video. “It’s truly unique in that you’ll need to make careful decisions about which path you choose as each choice will affect the composition of the final map boss and its rewards,” says GGG.
• Among Delve’s new Templar skills is the Herald of Purity, sort of a minion summoning skill. There’s a video for that too.
• Zana’s questline will see tweaks, not just for coherence and accessibility but with maps as rewards for the quests. The Atlas will see the introduction of the Shaper’s Stronghold as well.
• Finally, there’s a big ol’ sale going on ahead of the launch. Next week, expect the refreshed balance manifest and patch notes!
