PATH OF EXILE 2

Path of Exile 2 represents a completely new narrative experience that runs parallel to the original campaign. Both storylines converge at the shared Atlas endgame. Crucially, PoE 2 preserves every expansion element developed over the past six years while introducing revolutionary systems including new ascendancy classes, skill mechanics, and substantial engine enhancements.

1. 19 New Ascendancy Classes

2. New Skill Gem System

3. All-New Equipment System

While Grinding Gear Games hasn’t announced a definitive release date for Path of Exile 2, they’ve indicated that beta testing probably won’t commence before late 2020 at the earliest. The gameplay preview offers extensive insights into PoE 2’s groundbreaking features.

To maximize your success in the new expansion, focus on these expert strategies:

Boss Preparation Strategy: Begin collecting high-tier maps immediately after launch to quickly access the new endgame bosses. Prioritize building a versatile character that can handle multiple damage types.

Atlas Navigation: The redesigned Atlas system requires strategic map completion. Focus on sustaining maps that drop valuable influenced items early in the league economy.

Currency Optimization: Catalysts will initially be extremely valuable. Farm Metamorph encounters aggressively during the first week when these new PoE Currency items are at their peak value.

Common mistakes to avoid: Don’t underestimate the difficulty of custom-built Metamorph bosses. Start with conservative combinations and gradually increase complexity as you master the mechanics.
