Path Of Exile is a popular ARPG-MMO developed by Grinding Gear Games. The game has been available since 2013 in a free-to-play format.
Path Of Exile is currently available on older-gen consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One), Windows OS devices, and even macOS devices.
The game offers a huge world with a ‘medieval dark fantasy’ setting. However, there is currently an exploit that has the potential to break the game.
More specifically, the exploit causes the Path Of Exile Flame Wall spell to deal infinite damage (1, 2, 3, 4).
Path Of Exile Flame Wall infinite damage exploit
‘Flame Wall’ is a Path Of Exile spell that, as its name suggests, deals damage to the enemy by creating wall of flames. Also, the Flame Wall spell will add ‘fire damage’ to projectiles you shoot through it.
However, a bug currently allows players to deal ‘infinite damage’ by taking advantage of the ability to add fire damage to projectiles.
Straight from the Korean community, there is a conversation going on about eow mines and flame wall’s weird interactions. Currently it seems to be multiple projectiles from eye of winter can apply multiple instances of the flame wall debuff. When used with eow mines, it results in ignite “shotguns.” Just saying 😉 Source
Apparently there is a bug where flame wall can apply infinite stacks of ignite i watched ventrua doing all bosses to showcase it he inflicted ignite on shaper for so long in first phase that when he reached second phase the shaper was still burning from ignite damage you can basically inflict ignite for few minutes logout from game wait for bosses to die and log back in.
