The website Path of Exile 2 has some info that I think wasn't in the stream I think, although I only quickly watched stuff. Specifically I was interested in the classes reworks, Merc can now reload ammo constantly when not equipped so you can swap ammo instead of reloading, Chayula gets a permanent(?) clone, Infernalist gets the pre early access teased demon that can cast spells you equip on it(moving spell totem) and 3 of the hounds and a sacrifice mechanic and Bloodmage gets new skills, including one that turns enemies into minions(budget dom blow?)

New league mechanic looks kinda dogshit to me but we'll see how it goes, it feels like Betrayal level of annoyance to run though. Hopefully it's simpler than it looks, I'm not looking for super deep mechanics when I want to do a league mech, I just want more loot.

Shadow looks cool, don't care for traps and shit and never did, but I think poison daggers and shadow clones sounds right up to my alley so I'll see what they do with Assassin and might roll that, otherwise it looks likely it'll be summoner Infernalist.

I am.... whelmed. It was pretty much what I expected. The new acts of course, 2 new classes instead of the 4 hopium that was going around, a fair number of balance changes and improvements, and a pretty solid and expansive league mechanic.

Both duelist and shadow seem really combo heavy, even for just white packs.

I really enjoy how they're slowly turning this into Path of Companions 2 for all the Dad gamers who suck and just want an AFK battler.

Basically every class has some variation of minion bullshit now.

Controller switching is in as well. Thank God. I love combat on controller but inventory needs m&k.

Got over 1000h in EA. Time to get many more hours in.

The best thing I heard is Crit chance from the passive tree is completely gone and they are fucking chance on the jewels to, I don’t know why but I hate all the CoC lovers and their stupid builds.

Support changes look good. Their damage bonuses now reflect the skill they're in. So instead of a support like living lightning being only minion damage, it can now be attack spell or minion based on the skill its in.
