Taking a look at the Craiceann armor set, the body armor lets you Aspect of the Crab, a power that provides a stackable 'crab obstruction' that averts around 2 percent damage for each barrier you've accumulated over time. The drawback is that those charges immediately dissipate the moment you take poe rmt, so the crab barrier allows you to periodically negate one assault.

Rather than providing bonuses for every piece of Craiceann armor you are wearing, each piece beyond the body armor modifies the skill in a cool, but optional new way. If you grab the boots, then you can't be stunned if you have over 10 crab barriers and you only lose six of them when you get struck, for instance.

The final update entirely awakened the endPOE game by introducing The Elder, a boss that is corrupting the Atlas of Worlds and its creator, The Shaper. The randomized maps that Path of Exile players could run could now have particular modifiers if they had been corrupted by The Shaper or The Elder, but the system has been enlarged with Bestiary.

Wilson explains the Elder is getting even more powerful today, and is capable of corrupting the four Shaper Guardians who act as the semi-final endPOE match boss. If you manage to defeat every one of these especially demanding corrupted guardians, you now have a possibility that The Elder will corrupt The Shaper himself, forcing you to battle both endPOE game supervisors at the same time.

Wilson showed me a video of this fight and clarified that nobody on the development staff had managed to beat it yet with regular characters buy poe currency (even though it is possible). In their own, either The Elder or The Shaper is a supervisor that just the most devoted Path of Exile players may best. Fighting both at the exact same time? All the best. "It is created for the best, top, top Path of Exile players that do not have jobs and grind all day and everyone else gets to enjoy it through Twitch," Wilson laughs.
