Early Access Patch Notes - Content Update 0.3.0 — Path of Exile 2: The Third Edict - Forum

" Lobo#4398 wrote: New content looks amazing. However, I feel conflicted about many changes. Looks like POE 2's gameplay identity crisis is being resolved by turning it more into POE 1, which I personally think is pretty unfortunate. I'll give it a shot nonetheless. Build variety is getting better thanks to lower stat requirements (thank God) and more freedom with support gems. Still, I was really hoping to see more skills usable across different weapon types. Unfortunately, in a few cases, the exact opposite happened (palm skills). I'm also a bit disappointed there's no new class or weapon. But I guess it's just not ready yet. Oh well, it is what it is. Better than rushing things. To be fair with the reduced stat requirements and no weapon swap time, using other skills/weapons is much easier now then before.

Did a search on the notes, Ranger showed up once. Deadeye only voltaic mark updated and Pathfinder only concoctions updated. So you're saying Ranger is dead, as well the standard league... great! Don't get me wrong, I get that the new content gets all the spoils and all.	Posted by Torturian#0444 on Aug 21, 2025, 6:45:51 PM Quote this Post
Trial of chaos loot was already bad now you made it worst with all the nerfs to soul cores. It’s bad enough the boss drops nothing good.	Posted by Leryder#3469 on Aug 21, 2025, 6:55:17 PM Quote this Post

Only 30% spell damage at 10 stacks with a massive downside looks pretty weak for an ascendancy Every ascendancy and support it seems, even notables and fucking atlas passives are loaded with downsides. I dont get the hostel game development. We get Sprint but oh of course a HUGE DOWNSIDE has to come with it. When people start dying to that left right and center everyone will be reminded how bad this game feels at its core.	Posted by Fart_Smucker#3238 on Aug 21, 2025, 7:00:08 PM Quote this Post

I'll make this SUPER clear -> no changes to trials = no coming back for me or any of my friends. trials suck and we hate them so much we'd rather never play again if they don't change.	Posted by ThatEpicWizardGuy#0906 on Aug 21, 2025, 8:33:04 PM Quote this Post

Deadeye is arguably the strongest ascendency already.

Thanks for hitting a lot of marks in this league. I will try this leage again and I´ll let u know what has worked as intended, what have been a miss and what I think it should b improved or touched. There are a few things that are still untouched and should... But u pretty much hitted all the big marks in this realease. Good job. Congrats.

Looks like most soul cores are worthless now :(	Posted by cozyleow#1246 on Aug 21, 2025, 11:46:59 PM Quote this Post
POE 2 hates melee and the warrior in general. Pretty clear they want warrior to run evasion and energy shield and not use any of their higher end skills. Just use the same ones that work since release but not the ones that worked well because those are locked behind glory... which is even harder to build now. Yay.
