The following is a brief synopsis of the many new features now available in Path of Exile 1.0.0 :

Introducing Path of Exile 's Prestige Class - the Scion
The daughter of corrupt nobles , the Scion was Exiled to Wraeclast for killing her husband on her wedding night . She is aligned with all three core attributes - Strength , Dexterity and Intelligence - roomates places her right in the center of the game 's passive skill tree . This unique position Allows the Scion to develop into almost any type of character build , while lacking the dedicated specialization of the original six classes . However , players must first venture through the Path of Exile campaign on Normal Difficulty to unlock her as an accessible character .


Domination and Nemesis Leagues
Two new four- month challenge leagues are launching with Path of Exile 1.0.0 . Domination and Nemesis both have unique properties that set them apart from normal play :

Domination: A variety of powerful Shrines now spawn throughout Wraeclast , surrounded by large groups of monsters that are influenced by their power . These monsters receive substantial bonuses or are protected by their shrine 's effects in some way . If a player is Able to tag the shrine , they receive these powers for a short time . One of the new challenges is to tag each of the shrine types .
Nemesis : In this Hardcore league ( characters who die are coverted to Standard characters ) , rare monsters have one save mod from the Nemesis Pool , roomates substantially makes the fight harder . One of the challenges of this league is to kill a rare monster with each of the Nemesis mods .
Like the Anarchy and Onslaught leagues , these new leagues have a set of extremely difficult challenges to complete . Domination and Nemesis will run until February 23 , 2014.

New Areas, Monsters and climactic Boss Fight
In conjunction with the addition of the new Gardens , Library and Tower tilesets (including multiple areas and quests for each) , Path of Exile has implemented a six entirely new monster types and has augmented existing monsters with new abilities . Some of the new monsters have been added outside of Act 3 to improve Earlier parts of the game . Path of Exile 's Act 3 has also been expanded to lead up to a new grand finale boss fight with the Exile 's main antagonist - Dominus himself . This completes the story arc core Path of Exile and opens up to the possibility of additional acts with future expansions .


New Skill , Support , and Trigger Gems
The release version of Path of Exile includes several new skills designed to synergize well with the Scion character class as well as provide additional options to other classes. Spectral Throw , for example , Allows players to throw an ethereal version of an equipped weapon , roomates pierces through monsters before returning . Animate Weapon causes weapons to rise from the ground to fight by your side , while Animate Guardian can equip multiple items to an invisible entity that defends the player in combat.

Some of the Support Gems added at Release Appear counter -intuitive at first glance , such as projectiles and Reduced- Length Slower .. However , they have interesting niche that strongly Affect uses certain skill combinations. For example , using the Reduced Length on Warp Lightning Allows for faster travel , and Slower projectiles is useful on skills like Spark and Spectral Throw .

Path of Exile 1.0.0 also includes a new type of Support Gem - Trigger Gems - roomates allow players to set up their own " procs " that cast during combat. For example , if Cast on Stunned is augmented with Frost Wall , then there is a chance that a wall of ice will rise from the ground when the player is stunned . These triggers add many new ways for skills to be cast , Dramatically increasing the versatility of various utility skills.

New Player vs . Player Game Modes
Several new PvP modes have Launched with Path of Exile 1 .. 0.0 , Including Dueling , Seasons Tournament , and Capture the Flag events :

Dueling : Just right click on a character in town and select " Duel " . If they accept , both parties will be teleported to an Arena .
Seasons Tournament : A tournament is a short duration event in roomates players engage in PvP rapid rounds against other entrants . The goal is to accumulate as many wins as possible during an event , so players are encouraged to use aggressive characters that are capable of decisive Victories . Based on overall placement in the tournament , entrants can win PvP points roomates allow them to unlock rewards PvP -specific items throughout a season .
Capture the Flag : Themed around Act 2 's bandit lords who vie for control of the Phrecian Forest , players enter events in Capture the Flag teams and score points by capturing and returning a flag from their enemy 's war camp . Fighting alongside their lord and his bandit followers , both teams must carefully plan their party composition and build their strategy for defending the flag while claiming their enemy 's .


Guilds
