On Tuesday, GamersGate announced the Path of Exile Sentinel Update 3.18.0 patch notes, the first major update since the game’s release. Notably, Sentinel is the new DLC that will be available soon for players as part of the new Sentinel 3.18.0 update.

This update does not change class balance, but it improves the endgame and adds more content and diversity. The game’s developer, Grinding Gear Games (GGG), said that the update is an experiment that may not affect class balance in the future. Nonetheless, players should remain patient.

New features in the POE 3.18 patch notes include the ability to make your own sentinel. In addition to unique items, you can create your own. Players can now make their own items by killing the pinnacle boss in hardcore self-found mode.

With this new system, you can craft the items you want and combine them. The new sentinel has a mixture of traits from both its parents, including a unique trait for each of them.

The Searing Exarch’s Flame Wall Skill now deals more damage than its melee attack. Also, the Black Star’s Fire Beam Skill now grants greater damage than the Flame Wall skill.

Additionally, this new version of Path of Exile now supports DualShock 4 controllers. The game’s Controller input now works with the game’s menu, making it easier to navigate to private leagues.

In the poe sentinel patch notes, you will find a new Sentinel League. A Sentinel is a traveling companion. This pet will buff mobs in its area around the player, and can make the game more difficult.

Generally, the more challenging the mob, the higher the reward. And, the Sentinels will become harder to kill, so be careful where you place them!

Path of Exile Sentinel Update 3.18.0 Patch Notes

Below you can find a summarized version of the of the official poe patch notes 3.18 (patch notes).

Endgame Content Changes

  • Added 7 new uber versions of Pinnacle Boss fights, accessible through Atlas Keystone Passives. These fights are extremely difficult, so only attempt them if you have a very powerful character.
  • Increased the damage of The Eater of Worlds’ Skills and melee Attacks. Their Doom Laser Skill now applies an Inescapable Doom debuff which causes characters to take increased damage.
  • Increased the damage dealt by The Searing Exarch’s Flame Wall Skill and their melee Attack. The Searing Exarch’s rolling meteors are now considered larger for the purposes of collision detection against enemies (that means you, Exile).
  • Increased the damage of The Black Star’s Fire Beam Skill. The Annihilating Light and Crushing Darkness debuffs now cause affected players to take more or less Fire or Cold damage from hits only (previously all Fire and Cold damage).
  • Increased the damage of The Infinite Hunger’s melee Attacks. Grotesque Monsters found in the Seething Chyme have had their damage reduced.
  • The chance for The Eater of Worlds and The Searing Exarch to drop the Forbidden Flesh and Forbidden Flame Unique Items now scales with Map Item Quantity.
  • The chance for The Black Star and The Infinite Hunger to drop their Unique Items now scales with Map Item Quantity.

  • The Eldritch Altar option that causes Eldritch Minions to drop Burning Ground on Death no longer scales off of the main hand attack damage of the Monster, as this could result in highly variable amounts of Damage over Time dealt by the ground effect. This change has been applied to all cases of this in the game, notably Burning Ground on Death from Flame Helions and Caustic Clouds on Death from certain Zombies.
  • Maven’s Invitation: The Atlas Invitation now drops more commonly from Maps witnessed by the Maven, and less commonly from Maps not witnessed by The Maven.
