Ranger

Ranger is one of the Main Classes in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2). Ranger is a nimble Dexterity-based class specializing in bows, combining swift elemental or poison attacks with excellent mobility for ranged combat.

Classes in Path of Exile 2 feature 12 unique options, each with distinct strengths, weaknesses, and combat styles, revolving around three Attribute types: Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence, with each class tied to one or two of these attributes

  • Long Range: Let arrows fly from afar. Kill them before they arrive.
  • Agility: Shoot on the move. Jump over your enemies. Leap away from danger.
  • Crowd Control: Slow your enemies. Freeze them in place. Don't let them reach you.

Ascendancies

In PoE 2, Ascendancy Classes are choices to further specialize your Class. Other games may call is a Job Advancement, Subclass, etc. Currently in Early Access, all 6 Classes have 2 Ascendancy Classes to choose from. It is planned for each Class to eventually have 3 Ascendancy Class choices.

You will be able to Ascend starting in Act 2, and each Ascendancy will have a special Passive Tree that will greatly empower your character. Here's some quick notes on Ascendancy Classes:

  • You can get up to 8 points for the Ascendancy Tree.
  • You cannot change your Ascendancy.
  • You can refund/respec your Ascendancy passives on the tree. (Speak to The Hooded one or Doryani in town. It will cost Gold to refund)
