Summary

Players can soon respec their Ascendancy classes in Path of Exile 2.
Recent controversial update led to mixed reviews, but positive changes on the way.

The next Path of Exile 2 update is set to add the ability for players to respec their Ascendancy classes. The helpful new Path of Exile 2 feature is set to arrive “mid next week,” according to developer Grinding Gear Games.

Despite a strong launch, the recent 0.2.0 Path of Exile 2 update has caused some controversy among players. Many claim that the game is now too much of a grind, with players pointing out that meta classes are now a necessity to deal any meaningful damage to enemies. After the Dawn of the Hunt update, Path of Exile 2 briefly fell to “Mostly Negative” Steam reviews, although they have since returned to “Mixed.”

Path of Exile 2: Best Classes, Ranked

This Path of Exile 2 class tier list ranks every PoE 2 class based on power, ease of leveling, skill variety/adaptability, and gameplay satisfaction.

Positive changes are just around the corner, though, with Grinding Gear Games confirming in a forum post that players will soon be able to respect their Path of Exile 2 Ascendancy classes. This is a highly requested feature among players, but it won’t necessarily come easily. In the post, Grinding Gear Games confirmed that “something that was important to us is to make sure that while it can be done, it does require some level of effort.”

Path of Exile 2 Adding the Ability to Respec Ascendancy Classes

The upcoming update makes it so that redoing a Path of Exile 2 Ascendancy Trial allows players to respect which Ascendancy class they have picked at the Ascension device, but only if the Trial would give them the number of points they already have. Players can only respec their Ascendancy class if they have zero points allocated to it, but will be able to open the respect window at Balbala or the Trialmaster, both of whom are standing next to the Ascension device. Several other changes have been actioned in the upcoming update, too – ultimatums that have seven chambers can now be done from level 55, down from 60. Ultimatums that have 10 chambers can now be done from level 65, down from 75.

With Path of Exile 2 recently responding to the Dawn of the Hunt criticism, hopefully, better days are ahead for the game. It’s worth remembering that the game is still in Early Access, which means that no design decision is necessarily considered final. Path of Exile 2 still has a long way to go before it hits 1.0, so hopefully, Grinding Gear Games will continue to take player feedback on board to make it the best action RPG on the market.
