ExiphVG: also also, new league might bring uniques for these said base types

nathanfay1988: FINALLY!!!! Aura defenses have been so busted and implicit armor/evas/es on gear has been so crap for so long. I'm so glad they are adding a 4th tier of basetypes for mapping. This also completely upends the mirror market, LOL

Nimroc: Worth keeping in mind that might not even be the best new ES body armour since it uses the art for widowsilk robe, we might have a new tier of a vaal regalia as well.

And they teased an increase in life values on gear as well, they showed a pair of boots with 121 life without a hybrid life mod.

chaosandcoffee: He's on it. Speed uploading.

jerds9293: Increasing the base defence stats to make them more interesting find, craft and use. While also reducing the reliance on defensive auras.

Great move all-round by GGG.

alxk3995: That sounds on par with their design philosophy. Not every char should pick the same thing because it's just to good to not use. Things are meant to be situational.

With these changes determination is still really good for chars that actually use armour, but now not every other char uses determination and 1-2 flasks to have almost enough armour for endgame.

xKingRognarx: You have a keen eye, Dreamcore :D

30% increase - that's insane

nextgen3ric: The aura change coupled with the quality changes and hopefully core new basetypes turns them more towards specialization as opposed to generalist. If it pans out properly, this is a massive step in the right direction. While it won't immediately turn poe 1 away from aurastacking, it is a very good first step to diversify defense again in a way that doesnt radically break existing ideas and builds.

jimflask1164: Looks like I'm going to try some sort of Ci for the first time.

billplates5255: Also just dropped a video saying that quality is now multiplicative, so 30% quality would be 30% MORE base defenses or attack instead of increased.
