Witch

Witch is one of the Main Classes in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2). Witch is an Intelligence-based summoner specializing in undead minions and dark magic.

She uses chaos spells and improved minion control, making her a powerful, beginner-friendly class for strategic 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.

  • Minions: Send forth armies of the dead. Command them to do your bidding.
  • Chaos Magic: Let loose plague and withering affliction. A slow but painful death.
  • Osteomancy: Spikes of bone grow at your command. A fast and deadly magic.

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)
