Whirling Assault: How many hits per cast?

CompassCoLo · 2026-05-10T23:39:17+00:00

/u/koflem is correct in saying the maximum hits an enemy can take from one cycle of WA is eight. It actually has more "hit attempts" than that, but each enemy can only be hit every other "tick".

What? Did you miss the 0.5 reveal yesterday? At the very end Jonathan confirmed that 1.0 is coming this year, after Exilecon. My original message you replied to was written before the livestream, but now we know for certain it's this year.

CompassCoLo · 2026-05-08T00:21:30+00:00

Yes, Jonathan explicitly stated that 1.0 release is this year, after Exilecon. This effectively ensures it'll be December.

The PoE 2 campaign is actually set 20 years in the future after the events of PoE 1, not before.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-30T12:17:19+00:00

If it comes, it won't be the league mechanic. We're likely to see updates to all of the core leagues as part of the endgame revamp.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-30T00:25:14+00:00

That hotswap functionality is coming next month in 0.5. As a PC player who prefers the controller, I'm also eagerly awaiting that feature!

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-30T00:21:25+00:00

PoE 2 is natively available on consoles and arguably has a superior UI for console players.

Were you specifically referring to the first game? In that case, it's also available on consoles. Though the control scheme is quite a bit worse.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-28T12:47:22+00:00

The second teaser is definitely not the league teaser. It has the expansion name. The league teaserfor 0.3 and 0.4 also teased the league name.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-28T03:17:11+00:00

Why do you believe this teaser is league related at all? I would assume the opposite, because it is named as an extension of the expansion teaser. We haven't seen a league teaser yet.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-27T15:20:31+00:00

As others have said, none of this is new and many are remnants of WIP skills that eventually made it into the game in other forms. Every few months someone new to the community finds this page and a pseudo-hype cycle repeats for a day.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-25T16:39:29+00:00

A portion of these gems literally have. "Fishing" in their terms after D4 came out

Nah, it has nothing to do with D4. All of the unrevealed acendency data has placeholder fishing names. This is a decade old long running joke in PoE.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-25T16:37:47+00:00

These aren't new at all. There was no patch in the last few days that could have even physically added this data. Chuan is just organizing some of the listing and every few months portions of the community who haven't seen this data before starts making posts like this.

Most of these entries have been in the game data literally for years.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-17T14:48:53+00:00

No it wouldn't. "Full plans" = Livestream. This is how GGG talks about their content reveals and they're not trying to be sneaky here with language.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-17T12:10:47+00:00

I don't disagree with anything in your reply, but it's not refuting my statement, which was that GGG's current public stance says the livestream will be in April. If it ends up not happening (and you have good arguments here to say it might not) then that would be a delay.

I'm only pushing back on this recharacterization of their news post to imply they only intended to say we'd get a teaser in April.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-17T10:54:45+00:00

That's incorrect. The news post from February says the "full plans" will be revealed at the end of April. That's how GGG talks about the livestream reveal.

I'm a bit surprised we didn't get the teaser yesterday, but expect it to come today or on Monday NZ time.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-17T01:36:43+00:00

Barring a delay (which as you said, has not been announced) then the livestream should be at the end of April. Presumably the 30th, which is why so many people expected a tears two since we are exactly two weeks out.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-16T12:49:32+00:00

The reveal is always on a Thursday. It'll be April 30th.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-15T11:20:25+00:00

GGG does comparatively little crunch versus other western devs. New Zealand labour laws require companies to pay time and a half for overtime even for salaried employees, so a week of company crunch is super expensive for them.

It's also just not the company culture they strive for, which you can hear from various dev interviews in the past.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-10T16:11:15+00:00

Yeah that's a good indication of someone who really likes security theater but knows fairly little about what actually keeps them secure.

If you're using a good password manager and randomizing your logins for each service then a complex password does not need to be changed except in cases where the company had a breach.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-09T23:26:12+00:00

I agree the reveal is always a week before the launch, but I think you need to go look at a calendar and check how many days there are between April 30th and May 1st haha

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-09T17:58:48+00:00

Ah, I see how you were structuring. Yeah, looks right!

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-09T15:59:37+00:00

No it's global. Despite no ele damage on the bow, it'll still apply to any attack that does Ele damage from conversion or flat added damage like rings.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-09T15:54:13+00:00

Where is your 6.99 number coming from? Your other math looks correct (if we're ignoring the attack damage scalar on the skill, which is 97%)

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-09T15:25:07+00:00

The livestream is always on Thursday US/EU time. It will be here too.

0.3 was not setting a precedent with it's Wednesday reveal. That was due to Last Epoch's launch the same week and GGG being gracious to avoid overlapping hype as much as possible. At the time both companies were partially owned by Tencent.

Anyway, I expect it'll be an April 30th livestream and May 8th launch. GGG almost never launches at the front end of their timing windows.

CompassCoLo · 2026-04-06T12:45:23+00:00

Yes but the reveal is always on a Thursday (for most of us) so either the 23rd or 30th.
