Path of Exile is scheduled for any multi-stage skill revamp(POE)

The studio have noted it's not usually their policy to share with you large scale updates in public areas so far in front of implementation, but massive skill revamps are the best to this rule. This is because these changes will never be implemented within a giant revamp, but each content update would include a batch of updated skills, beginning with update 3.3.0 in June 2018.

Skill revamp decision was triggered by the fact that you will find there's group of older skills which are overshadowed by newer ones throughout the years. While some of which still have situational uses, most of these are outclassed normally. Grinding Gear Games took the Ice Spear for example, as it ''performs somewhat adequately in crit-based builds against stationary mid-range bosses'' nonetheless it requires a multitude of support gems as a way to hit multiple targets making it underwhelming against larger teams of enemies.

As you might imagine, skills like Ice Spear will not only be getting higher numbers integrated into them, but Cheap POE Currency that will make them appealing to get a variety of situations. POE Orbs will also receive visual updates so that they look pretty and shiny such as modern skills.

Skill themes is likewise a topic in Path of Exile's future development. This will apparently help players with achieving a certain flavour or possibly a style that may be in accord to some character's theme. While these changes aren't going to be ground breaking overhauls, they will help players make their characters fulfil some niche.

Another goal with this overhaul may be to enable players to possess more playstyles. Essence Drain and Contagion were chosen as examples that introduced new playstyles and Grinding Gear Games will probably be looking to make more skills seem like a different, unique playstyle.
