Version 3.3.0

Patch notes
These are the official patch notes for version 3.3.0 released by Grinding Gear Games.

The Incursion Challenge League

 * Challenge leagues are a great opportunity for a fresh start in a new economy. All of your old characters and items are still present in the Standard and Hardcore leagues, but you're encouraged to join the new leagues, complete challenges and demonstrate your mastery of Path of Exile!
 * With 3.3.0, there are Standard and Hardcore, and Solo Self-Found Standard and Hardcore, variations of the Incursion challenge league available. They have the same core mechanics and items.
 * In the Incursion Challenge League, explorer Alva Valai is searching for the ancient Vaal treasure temple of Atzoatl. Travel back in time to discover the location of the temple and change its history to maximise your reward.
 * Each time you encounter Alva in the wilderness, she can open a time portal, allowing you to visit the Temple of Atzoatl during its construction. Your brief visit can be extended by laying waste to its inhabitants. These visits allow Alva to learn its location in the present day, and allow you to influence its contents and reap its rewards.
 * After 11 Temporal Incursions, Alva will have narrowed down the present-day location of the Temple of Atzoatl. Together, you can explore the jungle, discover the temple and claim its treasures. Each type of room in the temple has its own unique risks and rewards.
 * Your actions in the past have significant consequences. By killing the Vaal Architects who guide the temple's construction, you can influence what rooms appear in the present-day version. During your Incursions, you may find keys that can be used to unlock doors in the past, allowing access to additional rooms in the future.
 * By traveling into the past and influencing the Vaal Architects to upgrade the rooms they are building, you can access even greater treasures. Many upgraded rooms come with rewards worthy of the significant danger they introduce into the temple.
 * The new challenge leagues include a set of 40 new challenges. When you complete 12 challenges, you will receive the Incursion Bandana. At 24, you will receive the Incursion Cloak. When you complete your 36th challenge, you will receive the Incursion Portal Effect. These microtransactions are only obtainable in this league.
 * From the 19th challenge onwards and for every third challenge after that, you will receive pieces of the decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Incursion challenges you completed during the league.

Major New Content and Features

 * Added a new Dexterity/Intelligence gem - : Throw a trap which, once triggered, repeatedly releases a number of waves for a duration. Each wave deals damage in a series of small bursts in a line, ending with a larger burst. Modifiers to cast speed affect how frequently it releases waves.
 * Added a new Dexterity/Intelligence gem - : Throw a trap that creates a large explosion when triggered, dealing spell damage in an area. A number of smaller explosions occur around this area in quick succession after the first.
 * Added a new Intelligence/Dexterity gem - : Throw a trap that applies debuff beams to a number of nearby enemies for a duration. The beams chill and deal cold damage over time. A beam is also applied to you, granting life and mana regeneration based on the number of debuff beams affecting enemies.

 * Added a new feature - Always Attack Without Moving: This feature prevents your character from moving while using skills where this is toggled on, as if you are holding down your "Attack in Place" key. This can be toggled on and off of individual skills in the skill bar. This feature can also be used on movement skills to prevent the skill from "namelocking" (ie. locking onto an enemy).

Minor New Content and Features

 * Added 39 new Labyrinth Enchantments for existing skills, and 43 for new skills. Enchantments for existing skills which have undergone significant reworking may not appear any more due to mechanical changes making them nonfunctional, such as enchantments which modify the cooldown of trap skills. Existing versions of these enchantments will now grant increased damage with that skill at the same value.
 * Added 6 dangerous new Nemesis mods.
 * Added 8 new Grandmasters to the unique map, and replaced 2 existing ones.
 * Added 3D art for the following unique items:, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 * Made several skill performance optimisations, most notably 's performance at high projectile volumes.
 * World and Map areas can now have multiple sub-areas. This means you can now, for example, find a Zana mission in the same map as a Labyrinth trial, Abyssal Depths, or an Elder Guardian. Please note that only the most recently opened sub-area of any given area will stay open indefinitely, and others will eventually expire as if it were any other inactive instance. Expired sub-areas become inaccessible, rather than simply resetting.
 * The item filter now supports sorting by gem levels, stack sizes and explicit item mods.
 * You can now filter the social panel with Ctrl+F.
 * Updated the, , and vendor recipes to give Shaper and Elder results if all the inputs were Shaper or Elder items. Elder/Shaper Breach items now also maintain their status if they are transformed with a Blessing.
 * Continued to incrementally improve the sound, art, effects and environments.

Character Balance

 * Modifiers to skill duration no longer modify the duration of traps, totems or mines, but will continue to modify the duration of skills cast by traps, totems and mines if those skills have a duration.
 * Ignite now deals 50% of the igniting hit's damage per second over 4 seconds (up from 40% per second).
 * You can now have up to 15 traps active at a time (up from 3).

Skill Balance

 * Supports which cause skills to create traps, totems or mines will no longer grant that skill the duration tag.

Traps

 * The interaction between trap skills with cooldowns and sources of additional traps thrown (such as the or  Supports) has been changed, and now work as they did with Vaal Lightning Trap previously. Namely, additional traps can only be thrown if the skill has at least one extra trap cooldown stockpiled, and only as many additional traps will be thrown as there are cooldowns stockpiled. In other words, if you have three Seismic Traps stockpiled and have the Shaper's additional trap glove mod, you'll throw two traps and consume two Seismic Trap cooldowns. If you only have two cooldowns stockpiled and attempt to throw three Seismic Traps via the Multitrap support, you will only throw two traps.
 * As a result of this change to trap cooldowns, the following trap skills no longer have a cooldown:, ,.

Passive Tree Balance

 * There were two primary goals with the passive tree adjustments: Provide more power to ignite builds without providing more power to other burning damage builds, and rebalance trap and mine passives. To that end, most of the reductions to trap and mine passives occur to trap throwing speed and mine placement speed. This was to bring them more closely in line with cast speed. Trap cooldown recovery was also targeted, as many bread-and-butter traps no longer have cooldowns, and the traps introduced in this patch are strong enough to warrant their longer cooldowns.
 * To better enable trap builds from level 1, the Shadow's starting area has received numerous changes.
 * The first two passives of the Shadow's top starting path now both grant increased damage (rather than increased elemental damage).
 * The top passives of the Shadow's starting top cluster now grant increased trap and mine damage (rather than increased cast speed).

 * Trickery (near the Shadow's start) now grants increased damage (rather than increased elemental damage).

 * The far side of the trap and mine wheel near the Shadow has a new notable - Devastating Devices: 50% increased critical strike chance with traps and mines, 40% increased trap trigger area of effect, and 40% mine detonation area of effect.
 * The passive skills on either side of Devastating Devices have completely changed. One grants +15% to trap and mine critical strike multiplier, the other grants 20% increased critical strike chance with traps and mines.
 * The Master Sapper cluster (previously near the Ranger) has been moved between the Ranger and the Shadow. It now has 4 passives (down from 6), and grants a total of 68% increased trap damage (down from 92%), 4% increased trap throwing speed (down from 12%), and 20% increased trap trigger area of effect (down from 40%).
 * The Expeditious Munitions cluster has moved where Saboteur used to be. It now grants 20% increased trap damage (up from 15%) and 8% increased trap throwing speed (down from 15%). The two passives leading to the notable now each grant 4% increased trap throwing speed (down from 6%).

 * Heart of Flame (near the Witch) now causes damage to penetrate 6% fire resistance (up from 3%). The passives leading to it now grant a total of 57% increased fire damage (up from 46%).
 * Breath of Flames (right next to Heart of Flame) now grants 20% increased ignite duration (up from 10%), 20% increased burning damage (down from 30%), 20% chance to ignite (up from 5%) and 20% increased fire damage (up from not giving any at all). The three passives leading to it now give a total of 20% increased burning damage (down from 40%), and 30% increased fire damage (previously none).

 * Breath of Lightning (next to Heart of Thunder) now grants 20% increased lightning damage (up from 12%). The three passives leading to it now each grant 10% increased lightning damage (up from 8%).
 * Heart of Ice (guess where!) now causes damage to penetrate 6% cold resistance (up from 3%). The passives leading to it now grant a total of 57% increased cold damage (up from 48%).
 * Breath of Rime (Near the Duelist. Kidding! It's next to Heart of Ice) now grants 20% increased cold damage (up from 12%). The three passives leading to it now each grant 10% increased cold damage (up from 8%).

Item Balance

 * The Merciless and Eternal Labyrinth Arc enchantments that grant additional chains now grants +1 to chain from the Merciless Labyrinth (down from 2) and +2 chains in the Eternal Labyrinth (down from +3). Existing enchantments won't change unless a Blessed Orb is used, so don't do that.
 * The Merciless and Eternal Labyrinth Bear Trap enchantments that grant increased cooldown recovery speed now grant half as much. Existing versions won't change unless a Blessed Orb is used.
 * The Merciless and Eternal Labyrinth Charged Dash enchantments that grant added radius to the skill's final area of effect now grants +4 radius from the Merciless Labyrinth (down from +6) and +6 radius from the Eternal Labyrinth (down from +9).

 * : No longer has the mod "Enemies chilled by you take 100% increased burning damage". Dyadus now has "100% increased Damage with Ignites inflicted on Chilled Enemies".

Map Balance

 * Once you have completed 20 maps while the Elder and its guardians are on your atlas without actually defeating any of them, there is a chance for the Elder and its guardians to disappear and remove the Elder-influence from the maps they were on. This will make it difficult to maintain an "Elder Ring", but will also allow players who weren't capable of defeating the Elder or its guardians to clear them from their atlas.
 * Shaper memory fragments XI through to XV no longer require you to defeat the Elder or its guardians in specific map tiers. Instead, defeating each guardian and the elder within ANY red-tier map will get you one of these fragments.
 * You can no longer get Shaper memory fragments XI through to XV from a map if you are not the map's owner.
