I’m not saying the game doesn’t have a very decent number of constellations, but it could use some new ones.
But, wanted to make another point. Every fire build, uses sol blade/torch, every phys build uses oleron, every tank uses stone form, every chaos uses dying god, and so on, etc.
The ideea is that it’s kinda…boring to say…that every build of a dmg type has to use that specific devo.
It would be really nice, if new devos were made, that compete with the current high tier devos.
So for ex a fire build would have to choose between torch, and a new one, that would be also fire, would give maybe similar stats, but would have a different celestial skill. So when u see a fire player joining u are not 100% that u will see meteros on screen.
And the same for all others. We should have to choose from at least 2 if not 3 high tier devos so we dont all look the same in gameplay/skills/spells.
And the competing high tier devos, would all have same affinity req.
And ofc, new unique devos wouldnt hurt also. like maybe high tier long range pierce/phys celestial skill for ex.
9 New constellations are on their way. How many are Tier-3 is still a mystery
As to the current constellations
Fire - Ulzuin’s Torch, Light of Empyrion
Cold - Ultos Shepherd of the Storms, Leviathan
Lightning - Ultos Shepherd of the Storms, Spear of the Heavens
Physical - Oleron, Vire the Stone Matron
Pierce - LOL
Bleed - Oleron, Mogdrogen the Wolf
Chaos - Abomination, Dying God
Aether - Spear of the Heavens, Attak Seru the Mirage, Rattosh the Veilwarden
Elemental - Blind Sage, Attak Seru the Mirage
Acid - Abomination
Defensive Constellations - Tree of Life, Ishtak the Spring Maiden, Obelisk of Menhir, Aeon’s Hourglass
Each damage type has more than one constellation supporting it, save for Pierce. I don’t think Acid/Poison needs anything new tbh, it happens to have the best support in the game at the moment. The other damage types also feel fine.
Whatever they are adding I personally would prefer it’s a Physical/Pierce constellation with Ranged/Caster focus
Lastly, constellations shouldn’t compete with one another for the sake of competing. Each damage type has one additional constellation that gives us something entirely different from what the other one gives. Their different affinity is also something that adds to build variety
I just hope that at least one of the new constellations is Fire/Lightning themed.
We have Fire/Chaos, Fire/Aether, Cold/Lightning, Lightning/Aether, but no Fire/Lightning constellation yet, which is a pretty common damage combo present in both gear and in mastery skills…
Not if with new Constellations the old ones become obsolete. Many of them are already really shit, like Boar or Tsunami.
Besides that, many builds here and there still lack a few points to polish their effectiveness to utmost perfection. It doesn’t break the balance, it’s literally one minor constellation or several nodes in other minor ones.
I can see some build are still suffering with devotions but the thing is the top half of devotions is balanced but it’s a thing line if they add anything else then it’d break.
If they add anything that makes the old ones obsolete then it’s all the more reason to not have any more devotion points. Imagine “new OP constellation” with “Aeon’s Hourglass/Ishtak/Dying God” etc.
As for the crappy existing ones, feedback can solve it. I already brought up Boar in a recent thread. Not only is the skill crap but the nodes are also mega crap. Tsunami is something I have given up on tbh.
Well then, I can only hope that new devotions will actually live up to the hype and allow for more customizations, without breaking the existing ones.
I meant as many constellations are just there, and no one uses them. But I see your point.
I would really love Boar for my IT Tactician, if it wasn’t such a goddamn shit. Between it and Bull the choice is extremely obvious.
Tsunami… sigh. Again, we can only hope.
More shrines but no increase max devo points ? Why the work ? There are already more than the max points, and there is also crucible where u can buy them…seems like not that big of a deal…maybe just for those who dont like crucible, and maybe miss some shrines…but still dont see the point…
Increase max devo points by 5. Nothing will be OP, more new enemies are coming. And if some builds become Op just increase the afinity req for the constellations that make them OP.
Also primordial ? Meaning not Tier 3 ? Hope i understood corectly, and if so…htere are already a decent nr of constellations that are not used…maybe adding another point with a celestial skill to already existing not-used ones would be better…but still new ones are always appreciated.
Maybe a tier 3 constelation for all classes would be a good ideea…that all could use if they wish to not use a calss dmg specific celestial skill.
Also please increase level cap to 125 so we have just another lil period of time that we experience progress again.

FG almost devoid of Aetherials and Chthonians - dont understand this…
9 new constellations - waiting to see…sound nice…but u never know…
5 new celestial powers - same
Lots of complications adding hirelings so no to them - hirelings ? mercenaries to come after u ? NO ! PLEASE NO ! most horrible ideea in this type of game. leave it to dragon age (which was good) and sacred3 (trash)
New feature makes existing rogues more interesting - rouges ? rouge dungeons ?
New shrines - meh…5 more points please…no more shrines…
4 new factions one of which is hostile - this i like, meaning a lot more content to play, nice
Allying with 3 cults of the Witch gods, allying with one doesn’t make you hostile with the others
New summons - Sandclaw - dont care about pet builds. but i read a lot of people like this.
New relics - please add more options for completion bonuses, and more granted skills that are %chance on attack, or direct skills that actually deserve a slot…not like chain lightning on seal of skies…
Medal augments - but not the way you think! - HA HA HA ! anything on them is better than nothing. nice.
FG independent of AoM and you can enter soon after rolling a new toon - meaning ?
Additional skill/attribute points throughout FG - niceeeeee
Some 2h pierce support coming - support ? component ? or what ?
Would really be nice to add more stats on already existing devos, like secondary resistances.
And off topic…is there a thread to post ideeas for new items ?
You are right nothing will be OP cause it’s already OP. 5 more points would be broken. So not a good idea.
Affinity Requirements would most likely be reflected back to base game and would end up those who don’t have the expansion. If that’s not the case then it can work
There’s not such thing as a Class Specific Constellation, we only have Damage Specific constellations
So with more shrines means more nothing to gain in later game?
With Crucible for first five we are maxed around end of elite?
Then what to do with shrines?
(Same issue we get with “used” lore nodes.)
