Path Of Exile 2 Accounts

Since the release of Path of Exile 2 in Early Access, speculation about the future development and updates of the game has never stopped. Although some content is still under development, the developers have not let down the expectations of players, and plan to release major content updates every four months or so, just like the original game.

A recent post by the developers responded to the upcoming patch 0.3.0, which will be released on August 29, and will introduce a new league with new mechanics, and may even be introduced to the main game.

Although this date is a little later than we expected, as a major league update, the game team does have too much content to prepare, and they must also solve some basic performance and server issues to avoid the poor connection problems that appeared in POE 3.26, which affects the player’s gaming experience.

Although more details about POE 2 0.3.0 patch will not be released until a week before the release, this does not prevent us from speculating on the changes that may be included in this update. After all, these terrible problems have been complained about in the player community for too long!

Possible Introduction Of New Classes

As the most anticipated new class in POE 2 0.2.0 patch, Huntress has been the focus, but in fact, the developers originally expected to add more than just this class, Druid is also among them.

However, we did not see Druid in Dawn of the Hunt league, and the developers responded that they were not ready yet. However, considering that it has been three months since POE 2 0.2.0, and POE 3.26 is gradually stabilizing, it is time to add new content to the next major league.

Although it is not realistic to add the same amount of content as in the previous league in 0.3.0, adding a brand new class is completely worth it in order to balance the existing class system.

Checkpoint Teleportation

In addition, map size has always been a problem that players have complained about. Maps in POE 2 are much larger than in the original game. Some players have reported that it can take up to an hour to clear a map because the increased map size makes it difficult to navigate and find exits.

Although the map shows the location of rare enemies, if there is no checkpoint nearby, you need to walk back, which is not only tedious but also very time-consuming. As a result, many players will choose to use movement speed boots and skills to more efficiently traverse large maps in the later stages. However, in the early stages of the league, when POE 2 currency is scarce and equipment is mediocre, we can only rely on walking.

Therefore, implementing teleportation between checkpoints in patch 0.3.0 is the key to alleviating some backtracking and navigation issues.

Skill Balance

Balance is an unavoidable topic in almost every patch update, and patch 0.3.0 is no exception.

Lightning Spear is the mainstream build in Dawn of the Hunt league because it not only has excellent single target damage, allowing you to deal with almost any boss, but also has a very fast map clearing speed, which is what players urgently need. That’s why nearly half of the builds in the 0.2.0 league are built around this skill.

Although this does give you a good gaming experience, imagine that when you enter the endgame, your teammates and opponents all use the same build as you, then what’s the point?

Therefore, even if no more skills are added in the 0.3.0 patch, balancing the existing skills is the key to ensuring the endgame experience. This can provide players with more possibilities for build selection and allow them to better utilize all equipment.

Simplify The Campaign

Another pain point in Path of Exile 2 is the repetitiveness and poor pacing of the campaign. Although the campaign’s graphics are exciting and gorgeous, the repetitive plot still affects the player’s gaming experience, especially when repeatedly farming.

In addition, the lack of important rewards or meaningful choices in the campaign, coupled with the focus on efficient clearance experience rather than combat, all exacerbates this feeling. Although the developers are working hard to improve, including adding more random generation and side quests, some players are still worried about having to replay the campaign every season or every new character.

For this reason, the developers must try to simplify the overall campaign process and actively speed up the early game to provide a smoother gaming experience, otherwise they will get bored with it more and more.

Add New Endgame Activities

Whether it is because of time rush or deliberate, POE 2 Dawn of the Hunt did not bring us much endgame content, more of which is still the continuation of the original Heist or the revised Immortal Syndicate. So basically, apart from Azmerian Wisps, there are no new challenges in the endgame.

Therefore, in order to attract more players to return to Wraeclast, it is necessary to add new events and surprises to make the endgame map more distinctive. In addition, the 0.3.0 patch is likely to solve the problem of poor loot quality of Pinnacle Boss by improving the number of loot drops or adding new unique items.

That’s it. Although the time of this patch update is slightly delayed, it is also to ensure that the studio can cram more content into it, so even if the current update does not meet expectations, it will not be unplayable.

In any case, we still have to look forward to the developer's live broadcast a week before the official release for more content. Perhaps this is an important step in changing POE 2. Let us wait and see!

Among all the new content brought by POE 2 Dawn of the Hunt, in addition to the new basic class Huntress, there are 5 new Ascendancy classes, and 2 of them belong to Huntress, namely Amazon and Ritualist.

Although they belong to the same Huntress, they are not only different in combat style, but also slightly higher in usage rate than Ritualist because Amazon is stronger. However, this does not mean that Ritualist is not worth utilizing. In fact, the right builds can make it invincible in POE 2 endgame.

Based on this, we will tell you how to complete most of the game content through Bleed Ritualist Build based on the introduction of this Ascendancy class.

Introduction To Ritualist

As shown in the game trailer and other related pictures, just from the appearance you will feel that Ritualist definitely has that kind of dark and terrible power. In fact, she uses the powers of animal sacrifices and plagues to show her control of life and energy.

In combat, Ritualist can cast blood magic spells to damage enemies and drain their health. Specific exclusive abilities include:

• As the Whispers Demand: Reduces 20% of its maximum health through sacrifice to gain a random monster modifier (only one can be obtained at a time).
• Mind Phylacteries: consumes 25% of maximum mana to trigger insufficiently charged charms.
• Corrupted Lifeforce: Gain the skill Blood Boil.
• As the Whispers Ask: Gain the skill Ritual Sacrifice.
• Intricate Sigils: +1 charm slot, +20% charm charges.
• Unfurled Finger: +1 ring slot.
• Mystic Attunement: Bonus +25% after equipping Rings and Amulets.

Overall, the strengths of this Ascendancy class are mainly in damage output and reliable survivability, but it is also more dependent on the role of gear. So if you choose to play Ritualist, it is best to buy POE 2 currency to increase the rarity of your equipment or get more modifiers.

Bleed Ritualist Build

Before entering Act 2 and unlocking Ascendancy class mechanism, you can only play Huntress in POE 2 in the most basic way. Under this premise, the main operation to cause damage to the enemy is to press Parry to get Frenzy charges, which is a thankless way.

So you can play Huntress with bleed type builds at the beginning, so that after unlocking Ritualist, you can combine the two to create a Bleed Ritualist Build, thereby improving the efficiency of clearing monsters and killing bosses.

It is worth mentioning that Huntress itself is relatively fragile in the early stage of the game, but bleed type builds can solve the enemy before you are hurt by extremely fast attack speed, circumventing this defect from another angle.

In this way, you can easily complete the main content of Act 1 and Act 2 through bleed builds, and utilize the new build brought by Ritualist to smoothly enter the endgame and Cruel mode, and finally complete the game.

Bleed Ritualist Build In Endgame

As you know, almost all character builds available in ARPG are centered on active skills, and are crafted with passive skills, gear and other items that can enhance active skills and class characteristics.

For Path of Exile 2 Bleed Ritualist Build, first you need to gradually unlock more skill gems and support gems that can be matched with them through adventures in the first three acts, and as the build is improved and upgraded, you can equip them more selectively to make the build more concise and refined.

After you unlock Ritualist, you need to unlock those Ascendancy nodes in Ascendancy system that can play the class skills or abilities to further enhance Bleed Ritualist Build.

Of course, the choice of passive skills is also important. For this build, those passives that can increase your agility, evasion rating and attack speed are all good. Finally, when you get to the endgame, your Bleed Ritualist Build should include the following:

Skill Gems

• Spearfield
• Rapid Assault
• Herald of Blood
• Bloodhound’s Mark
• Blood Boil

Support Gems

• Comorbidity
• Rearm
• Close Combat
• Concentrated Effect
• Heavy Swing
• Heft
• Bursting Plague
• Reach
• Magnified Effect

Key Passives

• Blur
• Primal Instinct
• Escape Velocity
• Lasting Toxins
• Fast Acting Toxins
• Deterioration
• Blood Letting
• Cruel Methods

Gear And Weapons

• Armor with good resistance and high evasion rating
• Spear with high physical damage
• Ring with mana and health regeneration

Utilize Tips For This Build

The way you start to damage enemies with this build in early game is casting Rake, then combined it with Herald of Blood is triggered to make some enemies explode after killing them, damaging other enemies in a wider range.

After unlocking Rapid Assault skill, you can use it as your main damage skill, and use it with Spearfield and Thunderous Leap to attack higher-level enemies and bosses. As long as the build elements are properly coordinated, you will definitely win!

That’s all the information about Bleed Ritualist Build. Although we directly tell you what the final form of this build is, you will still encounter difficulties in the process of crafting it, and you must overcome them on your own!

Finally, I need to remind you that if you are a fan of the entire Path of Exile series, then remember to watch POE 3.26 league’s live broadcast of the press conference (or the live playback)! More new content is waiting for you to learn!
