It wouldn't be a Path Of Exile expansion without a bundle of new active skills, too. There's a handful of fun skills that could create whole new character builds POE currency trade . Energy Blade lets you channel your energy shield into a powerful lightning-element melee weapon. Temporal Rift lets you rewind time by four seconds, returning you to your previous position with whatever stats you had at the time. Take a big hit or cast something that drained all your mana? Just rewind!
Tornado is an especially fun looking skill. It summons a big, slow-moving homing tornado that does damage over time. The Tornado also picks up the properties of any projectiles you fire into it, just in case you want to create your own all-consuming fire twister. Be honest, you do. Poisonous Concoction adds another skill to the growing alchemist archetype, letting you throw the corrupted contents of your health flasks to deal some beefy AoE poison damage, with damage scaling with how potent the healing flasks are.
