In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the contentious topic of the new automation support and the removal of instant skills on the left mouse button in Path of Exile version 3.24. The change means players can no longer use instant skills on the left mouse button for movement but are instead introduced to automation support, allowing multiple skills to be triggered with a 0.6-second cooldown. The gem is a level one skill gem that could potentially scale with quality to provide cooldown recovery rate. It is clarified that the cooldown of the automation support does not affect the skills it supports, and it functions more like a toggle stance. The speaker addresses the concerns and provides insights on the impact of these changes on gameplay and different builds.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses changes in the game affecting miners and minions. The use of detonate mines has been altered, requiring players to use a support gem and detonate mines gem, potentially making gameplay awkward during boss fights. However, the speaker suggests that the change may not be as significant as initially thought. For minions, the update presents a significant nerf, particularly impacting those who automate different setups. The overall tone is cautious optimism regarding the changes, with observations that certain builds may need adjustments.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the limitations of automation with skills like Bone Barrier and Convocation, due to their inability to connect to automation support. Convocation being unable to be automated without sacrificing a support gem has affected various trigger-based builds. There is mention of skills that can no longer be automated without support gems, affecting gem setups. The speaker notes that many players had suboptimal gem setups and that now they have more reason to pay attention to their gem choices. However, the impact may not be as significant as some believe. The segment ends with a discussion on positive aspects of the changes, specifically highlighting improvements in skills like Phase Run and Withering Step, which no longer fall off when triggered simultaneously.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses new builds using Armageddon Brand and Brand Recall automation, which can now trigger the brand recall without the need for a trigger wand. This change makes these builds easier to create, especially due to the veiled chaos orb rework. The speaker also notes the impact on self-chill setups and builds with multiple instant skills like miners and minion builds, which will see improvements in ease of use. The video also mentions the Keystone St. Call to Arms and its potential impact on builds using war cries, highlighting its cooldown, mana multiplier, and the ability to support multiple war cries.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the potential impact of the War Cry support gem in Path of Exile builds. They mention the convenience of automating button presses and increasing comfort in gameplay. The War Cry support gem offers benefits like endurance charges, cooldown recovery, and life regeneration. The speaker highlights how the gem could enhance right side and niche builds, as well as synergize with Jewel setups like Enduring Cry or Infernal Cry for additional damage boosts. They also predict more possibilities for creative build optimizations with these new support gems.
