Open beta will be happening later this year (date TBA).
For those who don't know, Path of Exile is an Action RPG in the vein of Diablo. In fact, the game is designed to have very similar gameplay to Diablo II.

Can't wait for the new patch, the patch notes look really good.
The EA nerf is harsh but it makes sense.
The HP regen nerf is harsh as well and I'm not sure it's needed. It's gonna make righteous fire even more unviable.
Also, I'm pretty anxious about the templar changes...

There's a lot I look forward to. If I go through all of it it'll be an even bigger wall of text than the thread they made themselves about the patch: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/48576
Check it out, it might lure you back. Bear in mind that the patch has already been postponed 'till next week though.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Though at least we will get >Minions now always teleport to you when you get too far away from them.

I have now been waiting for over a year and a half for a beta key for this fucking game.
I still do not have one.
Where can I obtain one? I don't care if it's illegal any more.

You can buy some in game 'points' which will work for cosmetics later and get a key as well. It's only 10 dollars.

Not really sure Ghost Reaver is a good idea. It seems just like another "Iron Reflexes" sort of idea that is gonna be more trouble than fun. And it buffs CI, which doesn't need buffing, at all...

Iron reflexes is good, I don't know why you don't like it.
But think about it this way, with life leech hp is usually more concentrated because of armor/evasion. But with pure ES builds Ghost Reaver will only make you leech a small amount of your total ES compared to regular life/lifeleech.

$10 to get a beta key and some microtrans points (which if you spend, the changes are permanent and will carry on into open beta and full release).
Alternatively beg for keys, hunt for keys at twitch streams, or just wait on yo ass for open beta in half a year.

I don't like Iron Reflexes because it fundamentally changes a mechanic that a lot of people (wrongly) considers broken, meaning they feel forced to spec Iron Reflexes as a sort of self applied fix. A lot of people feel the same way about using claws on Shadows and they will feel forced to spec Ghost Reaver to fix that as well. It's going to feel very limiting to a lot of people and it's going to reduce the variety of shadow builds in the community.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean with your last line. You leech as much ES with Ghost Reaver as you would leech HP without it, and armor and evasion affects ES the same way it affects HP so leeching 20 ES on hit gives the same added survivability as leeching 20 HP on hit.
The only two differences with GR is that you don't need to wait for your ES to be removed before you get the benefit of leech, which is something people will feel all shadows need, and that it will make leech work with CI which, I would wager, is already the most chosen keystone in the game, followed by Iron Reflexes, followed by Blood Magic.
Luckily, devs have been expressing concern regarding Iron Reflexes and they have indirectly nerfed Blood Magic in the coming patch.

Well my last point was mainly against CI. CI mainly benefits from pure ES builds and ghost reaver will give you a fairly small amount of your total ES compared to pure life or hybrid armors.
With claws however I never really saw a good build with as shadow, not efficient enough passive paths. Ghost reaver might push it but I would rather have a evasion claw build if I had to choose claws.
I agree with you on Iron Reflexes though.

I think I see what you mean with CI.
And I agree that claws and shadows have fit together poorly so far, I'm just worried that Ghost Reaver will be considered "the fix" to that.
