Warrior

Warrior is one of the Main Classes in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2). Warrior, a Strength-based melee class excelling in close combat with large weapons, is ideal for tanky, toe-to-toe battles but challenging for beginners.

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.

  • Heavy Slams: Hit hard. Slam your mace on the ground. Crack the earth.
  • Stuns and Knockback: Stun your enemies. Push them back. Knock them to the ground.
  • Defences: Shrug off small hits with heavy armour. Block big attacks with your shield. Use your large life pool to absorb the rest.

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)
