Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt Stats Snapshot

Wow, Acolyte has been played almost half as much as the second least played class. I wonder if that has anything to do with 3 of its branches being defense focused and none of them being reliable as defenses?

-Darkness is flawed as a concept because absolutely nothing is worth losing access to spirit gems (unless it could hypothetically provide ALL the same advantages, and Darkness doesn't come close)

-Into the Breach is more useful as a way to slot spirit support gems for no spirit cost, because it's just not worth it to run around and grab the flames for how little/brief benefit they provide.

-The improved mana leech passives are really good in theory, and why I chose the class for my first character, but at no point since launch have I observed them to actually function as expected. It seems that right now the shield gain only functions according to the amount of mana that's actually added to your pool, rather than the potential amount your damage could restore, requiring reduced skill efficiency in order to actually gain any reliable amount of shield. That sacrifice is rarely if ever worth it, and its value swings wildly depending on the kind of encounter the character is in.

-The little extra chaos damage that functions as the class's offense option has no synergy with the Monk class at all, which otherwise focuses on cold/lightning damage and secondarily on physical. Compare this to Invoker which amplifies ALL the Monk's most accessible skills.

Rework Acolyte of Chayula. Seems ok, but in the practice have no sense 2 notables of ascendency: flames with his own duration unescalable for 10 seconds? Who of you play that and feel that work well? Have no f*** sense. And Darkness, sacrifice all your spirit to obtain 1k of life pool. Energy shield give you that only on gloves. Please, play your game, I swear that is extremely fun, only need balance and think well the synergies.

Eldenring？ 60,000 people have given up poe2 ???

Cat is a Rue

Acolyte of chayula sadge, won't stop playing until meta. Rework darkness to worth spirit removal like maybe cause it to reduce the damage taken from volatility and give wither effect. Make chaos quarterstaves. Add more monk based chaos skills. Make Acolyte of chayula as good as it looks!

The Ancestral Canoe Crafting Bench Decoration from the 240€ pack is not working.
The people are not on the boat instead pop from nowhere and go in a cross direction from the boat.
The Exalted Peddler's Rain Hideout decoration is not working.
The rain it show is nothing but Chaotic Peddler's Rain Hideout Decoration.

patch 0.2 bad

patch 0.3 thanks

Maybe you guys should make some other skills than LS playable without sweating. And maybe rework Armor and Evasion so they are actually playable and I dont have to head north to ES in passive skill tree with every single class thanks

Melee feels bad... i switched to Deadeye and now im blasting with 1 Button riding Horse... I love this game ;)

Lets compare them side by side and what is the improvement that happen in the latest league dropped by GGG.

And here's the breakdown of the top 5 most played and least played classes since the launch of Dawn of the Hunt:

23.78% Amazon
12.27% Lich
10.12% Deadeye
8.15% Smith of Kitava
7.87% Invoker

0.74% Acolyte of Chayula
1.32% Chronomancer
1.77% Tactician
1.77% Warbringer
1.82% Pathfinder


So now we can see instead of all people using arc as a skill on both invoker and stormweaver they did nerf the gem until it become a complete useless skill and provided players with a new Lightning spear that work exactly the same as arc and even better as it can be thrown at range on monsters and spammable.

The final result, the same amount of damage that people had on Arc is possible to achieve with LS.

At the same time, all other classes that players barely played are not buffed at all.
