Content Patch 0.5.0: Are We Getting New Class or Act?

I hope only new endgame content + rework + bugfixes + more builds.
I'd rather them finish the acts first. "Endgame" can wait. I don't mind it being just a place where we can play around with builds and have them nerf what is obviously broken.
I only play SSF and it is my duty as one to inform you of my status.
To be honest I don't care. It will be bug riddled and a slog for no fun in return.

This game is just about fried seeing how little a year has done for it. I think the game engine started in 2007 is not cut out for "the future of arpg's".
I'm hoping for swords. I don't care about the duelist. Actually, I don't really care about any of the unreleased characters.

But! I'm assuming swords will be faster than maces. I'm hoping they'll have elemental attack skills. I'd really like to make a Chronomancer with a sword in 0.5. My chrono this league was werewolf and I honestly didn't enjoy it nearly as much as Disciple of Varashta, so I left it behind. Maybe Ritualist with a sword could be fun.

They mentioned on reddit about looking at the way "transmog" currently works. I'd also love to learn more about that if it is still a thing. I'd also like new skill gems in our current categories.

What i expect for 0.5

- New weapon type (sword) which includes new skills and support gems
- New class/ascension (duelist ?)
- New Ascencion Trial
- Complete endgame revamp, with all league mechanics we have now reworked or improved
- Vaal Temple "part 2" (with improvements, fixes, new rewards, etc)
- Life and evasion buffs
- Heavy reliance on rarity gone

They will just copy paste some leagues from POE1 to POE2 and call it endgame rework


If they give us Blight, I'll be happy.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

Isn't that the mode that has lived for a long time in poe 1 and still runs like an epileptics nightmare as your screen will start flashing like strobe light? Oh yay can't wait for that undefined mess to be ported over.
I'm 100% sure that the New League will have a bunch of new bugs and two or three abuses.
I personally hope that they will introduce axes. Axes should be fast and be based around bleeds\physical damage - both I love. And I will build a 2h axe bleed\poison\eva-based hybrid on PF, just because I can. By the way, I want to say GGG "thank you" for making PF a real ascendancy, it has very destinctive features, it is strong and has its place in the game. Hopefully you will shape other underperforming classes like Smith of Kitava into something.
Axes!
They said endgame improvements. So i expect that. In my opinion throw out acts and classes and then do the foundation and then you can add league mechanics.
