| 35 | 30 | ||
| 36 | - | ||
| 31 | + | Path of Exile 2 features twelve character classes, two for every combination of Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence. While each of the class variants focuses on a different playstyle, they're just a starting point. You can combine skills from many classes together to create your ideal character build. | |
| 37 | 32 | ||

| 33 | + | Each of the twelve character classes has its own three Ascendancy specialisations, resulting in a total of 36 Ascendancy Classes to pick between. | |

| 54 | + | ## New Skill Gem System | |
| 47 | 55 | ||
| 48 | - | ||
| 56 | + | Path of Exile 2 features 240 Skill Gems that grant devastating active skills and 200 Support Gems that modify their behaviour. Combine these together to create your perfect build. | |
| 49 | 57 | ||
| 50 | - | ||
| 58 | + | This is the next generation of Path of Exile's famous skill system. Support Gems are now socketed directly into Skill Gems, removing many of the frustrations present in the old system while maintaining all the previous depth. It's now possible to six-link every skill your character uses. | |
| 51 | 59 | ||
| 52 | - | <a href="https://web.poecdn.com/public/news/2022-05-07/EN_AtlasPassiveCount1.jpg" data-lightbox="panel"></a> | |
| 60 | + | * Characters start with 9 sockets. Gems always have 2 gem sockets by default. | |
| 61 | + | * Attacks scale more significantly with levels. | |
| 62 | + | * Support Gems add additional attribute requirements to Skill Gems based on the support's attribute theme. | |
| 63 | + | * Socket crafting (extra sockets, colouring) is deterministic. [[Chromatic Orb]] let you pick the colour. | |
| 53 | 64 | ||
| 54 | - | ||
| 65 | + | [[Jeweller's Orb]] tiers: Each upgrade tier is rarer than the previous. | |
| 55 | 66 | ||
| 56 | - | <a href="https://web.poecdn.com/public/news/2022-05-07/EN_ShadowShaping.jpg" data-lightbox="panel"></a> | |
| 67 | + | * Lesser Jeweller's Orb: Upgrades 2 → 3 additional gem sockets on a Skill Gem | |
| 68 | + | * Jeweller's Orb: Upgrades 3 → 4 additional gem sockets on a Skill Gem | |
| 69 | + | * Greater Jeweller's Orb: Upgrades 4 → 5 additional gem sockets on a Skill Gem | |

| 58 | - | ## | |
| 71 | + | ## Dual-specialise your Passive Skill Tree | |
| 59 | 72 | ||
| 60 | - | ||
| 73 | + | Path of Exile's iconic Passive Skill Tree has made a return, with 2,000 skills that allow you to completely customise your gameplay experience. It now features Dual Specialisation, the ability to allocate some passive skill points to two different sets of skills. They engage whenever the appropriate weapon or skill type is used. For example, you can have some points allocated to both daggers and traps, or ice and lightning, and as you swap between attacks, the appropriate skill points will apply. This lets you specialise in multiple areas without opportunity cost. | |
| 61 | 74 | ||
| 62 | - | ### 4/26 Twitch Drop | |
| 75 | + | * New Dual Specialization system. Can select which skills are used with each weapon set, switching dynamically on skill use. | |
| 76 | + | * Certain Passive Points granted by Skill Books can be allocated separately per weapon set, changing dynamically on skill use. | |
| 77 | + | * Reservations can be dynamically swapped based on weapon set. | |
| 78 | + | * Shapeshifting also has a separate specialization. | |
| 79 | + | * Dual Specialization swap speed can be modified by specific stats. Larger weapons take longer to swap. | |
| 63 | 80 | ||

| 81 | + | ## Uncover All-new Items | |
| 65 | 82 | ||
| 66 | - | ### 4/26 Nothing mentioned in this thread so far has been nerfed. | |
| 67 | - | [Bex_GGG](https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/ubwz9q/318_nerf_prediction/i682bu9/?context=3): Nothing mentioned in this thread so far has been nerfed. | |
| 83 | + | Path of Exile 2 features 700 equipment base types and every single one has its own unique item you can find. You can augment your arsenal with new weapons such as Spears, Crossbows and Flails, as well as supplementary items like Focuses, Traps and redesigned Sceptres. | |
| 68 | 84 | ||
| 69 | - | ||
| 85 | + | * Staves grant a spell as an implicit (e.g. Fireball, Unleash). | |
| 70 | 86 | ||
| 71 | - | ||
| 87 | + | ## Explore a new Endgame | |
| 72 | 88 | ||
| 73 | - | ||
| 89 | + | At the conclusion of Path of Exile 2's six-act campaign, you'll gain access to its endgame. Each of the more than 100 endgame maps has its own boss fight and modifiers that enable revamped versions of many of Path of Exile's past leagues. We'll reveal more details of the surprises that await you in Path of Exile 2's endgame in the leadup to release. | |
| 74 | 90 | ||
| 75 | - | [Bex_GGG](https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/u83ict/will_we_get_balance_manifestos_for_318_too/i5kb1gu/?context=3): No manifesto this time. Feel free to start planning your builds. | |
| 91 | + | ## System Changes | |
| 92 | + | * Spacebar to Dodge Roll. No cooldown, no limitations, and includes path-finding. Grants stun resistance, but does not grant invulnerability. Avoids projectiles and melee attacks at start of roll. Cancels skill animations on use, but cannot cancel a Dodge Roll. Not faster than running. Roll Speed scales with Movement Speed. Can be modified via passives. | |
| 93 | + | * Mana cost is spent throughout the skill instead of on use; cancelling skill or getting stunned will not consume mana. | |
| 94 | + | * Gold system with proximity auto-pickup; can be used at vendors for NPC trading or gambling. | |
| 95 | + | * All crowd control mechanics (e.g. Freeze/Stun/Immobilise) build up over time, like "poise" allowing them to work on bosses if not immediately applied. Enemies and players also gain resistance to crowd control for a duration after being cc'd, reducing chain stun/freeze. Electrocute lets Lightning damage CC. Stun duration varies by monster | |
| 96 | + | * Reviving in the Acts will return you to the start of the zone, instead of right at the boss, to prevent corpse rushing. | |
| 97 | + | * Defeating optional Bosses can grant rewards like permanent stat and Spirit bonuses. | |
| 98 | + | * Future Microtransaction system to turn items into skins - no ETA. | |
| 99 | + | * Game pauses while looking at world map. | |
| 100 | + | * The Hooded One can identify all items in your inventory in town. | |
| 101 | + | * New character stat screen User Interface | |
| 102 | + | * Reservations do not deactivate on death. | |
| 103 | + | * You can dodge roll and transform in town. | |
| 104 | + | * Culling strike kills normal, magic, rare, and unique enemies at 30%, 20%, 10%, and 5% life respectively. | |
| 105 | + | * Dialogue and quest states will differ if you skip lore | |
| 106 | + | * Chaos Orbs now remove a random affix then add a random affix. Alterations and Scours do not exist. Mod pools are more relevant. | |
| 107 | + | * Conversion now only scales by the final damage type, and does not remember converted damage types. (e.g. 100% Physical to Cold no longer scales with Physical). | |
| 108 | + | * Nearby distance is measured in meters rather than units. | |
| 109 | + | * Larger bosses can be more mobile because they have multiple hitboxes, unlike just 1 in POE 1 | |
| 110 | + | * Checkpoints before bosses. Teleports are destroyed in boss arenas. Logging out returns you to the save state you logged out from - no more logout macros. Dying resets the zone. | |
| 111 | + | * No flask charges from normal monsters | |
| 112 | + | * League mechanics unlocked in story via quests (e.g. Delirium) | |
| 113 | + | * Projectiles have gravity to limit off-screening (e.g. Porcupines) and can be dodge-rolled | |
| 114 | + | * No crafting bench; vendors sell items with more modifiers instead to be more likely to sell good levelling items | |
| 115 | + | * Increased Item Rarity and monster rarity bonuses will significantly affect currency drops. | |
| 116 | + | * Light Radius extends minimap fog of war range | |
| 117 | + | * Sceptres grant Spirit and Aura-like modifiers. | |
| 118 | + | * Act 2/3/4 will unlock Ascendancy points. No Labyrinth | |
| 119 | + | * Flasks will be more reactive than permanent buffs. Guard Flask replaces Guard Skills. No Quicksilver Flask. | |
| 120 | + | * No Masteries, instead more passives/notables. Passives are more generic and less weapon-specific. | |
| 121 | + | * Charges do not grant inherent bonuses and instead empower skills which consume them. Skills that spend charges cannot gain charges. | |

| 123 | + | ## Spirit Reservation | |
| 124 | + | Spirit reservation system replaces mana reservations. | |
| 125 | + | ||
| 126 | + | * 100 Spirit by default. Increases can be obtained from boss drops, item modifiers, and sceptre implicits. | |
| 127 | + | * Reserve flat amounts of Spirit to enable auras or trigger-able meta skills. | |
| 128 | + | * Permanent minions also reserve spirit. | |
| 129 | + | ||
| 130 | + | ## New Skills | |
| 131 | + | Many skills have in-built dynamic movement to close gaps if targeting far away or move away from enemies for some charge-up skills, and can change directions mid-skill (longer animations can turn further). | |
| 132 | + | ||
| 133 | + | Uncut Gems can be turned into specific gems via the Gemcutting menu. Skills are not locked by class and are only sorted by theme per class. | |
| 134 | + | ||
| 135 | + | Extra skill options and shift-attack behaviours, as well as targeting options | |
| 136 | + | ||
| 137 | + | Skills will mostly be limited to a single type of weapon. | |
| 138 | + | ||
| 139 | + | * Brands somewhat merged with Totems | |
| 140 | + | * Mines and traps are no longer spells or attacks and instead a separate damage type. They also are a separate weapon type with different detonation types (proximity, manual, etc) | |
| 141 | + | * Wand skills now are spells (as wands do not have attack stats) | |
| 142 | + | ||
| 143 | + | ### Monk-themed skills | |
