Didn't see a thread and don't know how big is the PoE community here, but the new expansion was announced.

Trapped for thousands of years in the Domain of Timeless Conflict, the mightiest military leaders of Wraeclast's history have been fighting an eternal war. In Path of Exile: Legion, you will free their legions from the endless battle and defeat them in combat to earn their valuable rewards.

Path of Exile's June expansion contains the Legion challenge league, new items, new gems, a game-wide overhaul of melee combat, and much, much more.




It also includes the long awaited melee combat revamp.

We've addressed most of the core issues with melee combat in Path of Exile. You can now cancel attack animations after they deal their damage. Movement skills are now all instant, and new low-level movement skills have been added for many classes. All melee attacks can now hit multiple adjacent enemies. The animation system has been overhauled, the monster targeting rules improved, and accuracy is no longer capped at 95%. There are more changes to melee combat than are possible to list here, but these changes plus a rebalance of most melee skills create an entirely new combat experience.

It's a bit more modest update than Synthesis, but hopefully better thought out. Hope to see you guys in there!
