Path of Exile 2 changes the same number of points at once in the large season update. Especially in the classes you can say goodbye to well -known. Meinmmo looked at the presentation of the new season in advance and asked the developers questions.
What kind of update is that? With the new Season Update “Dawn of the Hunt”, the developers of Path of Exile 2 publish the first new season for the ARPG. There are over 100 new support skills, over 100 new unique items and a new class as well as three new ascendant classes for existing classes.
Also new is the ascendant class for the witch, the Lich (in German: “body”), which relies on chaos, curses, minions and undead and could thus fulfill the long-awaited dreams of many Minion players.
A new league also starts with the patch, so that everyone can start the same fresh stand. However, the update also appears for the existing league. So you can test everything on your existing characters before you start new.
What happens to the builds? In an interview with MeinMMO, POE2 boss Jonathan Roggers informed about the balance. With “Dawn of the Hunt” all existing skills will receive new values and the entire ARPG should get a “completely changed balance”.
If you are currently playing one of the surgical buildings, you will have to say goodbye. Roggers said in a conversation that many builds are simply broken and that this is fixed in the new update. He was the first to think of the “Herald of Ice” skill, which many players use. This is generally generated.
However, you shouldn’t be afraid, the boss wants that there continue to be strong builds. With the more than 100 new support skills, as well as the 25 new skills that are intended for hunters, a changed new meta will arise, in which no build remains as you know it.

How does Path of Exile 2 change? In the presentation of the new content, the developers also discussed the level of difficulty. You have recognized that the difference between campaign and the end game is too big. In the campaign everything is trimmed to learn mechanics and die a few times before you have the boss fight.
This is now also followed by the final game. Here, lighter cards that players mostly play at the start of the final should receive respawn. Anyone who dies can continue exactly where they failed. The higher the level of difficulty of the card, the less respawn.
Was there a surprise too? Yes, a mount was presented in the presentation that comes into play at the same time with the hunter. On an ostrich -like being, your characters can fight enemies in the future and move over the map faster.
However, the mount, however, has the disadvantage that you will be thrown off after too much damage and are stunned for a short time. It remains to be seen how much use this interesting innovation actually brings in the game.
With the new update, many other important innovations come into play. The endgame in particular is said to contain some fresh content such as changes in the Towern in the Atlas, many new crafting options and so-called Rogue Exiles, which are supposed to represent other players and how they can fight you in a PvP fight. The Rogue Exiles should be better and smarter than ordinary bosses.
With the new balance, all current builds will soon be out of date. That was last the great concern of a Youtuber who believes that “Dawn of the Hunt” could become a disaster for Path of exile 2: The new season of Path of exile 2 could be a disaster if a YouTuber is right
