However, many do not know the feature exists, let alone how to use it. Here’s how to link items in trade chat Path of Exile 2.

Making quick progress in Path of Exile 2 depends on your build, your class, and a little bit of luck. While you can beat the game with any class and build, some of the classes in PoE 2 are simply built different—and we’ve gathered all of them here.

Below, we’ve ranked the best classes in PoE 2 to help you find one that works for you. If you’ve already beaten the game with your favorite class, why not take one of the others listed below for a spin? Playing as melee after beating PoE 2 with a ranged class makes it feel like a new game.

The leveling process in Path of Exile 2 can be a difficult journey in the early stages of the game. Having additional skill points beyond the one you get per level can be very helpful in getting to those key passive nodes faster. You can acquire these skill points by defeating certain bosses across all three acts in the overworld, and this is how you can get to them.

Apart from the main story bosses, Path of Exile 2 has specific, unique bosses you can find at different points on the map. Some of these bosses are associated with quests, but you must seek out others while you clear the map they dwell on. This is where you can find each of them in every main story act.

When booting up Path of Exile 2 for the first time, players are offered the choice of six playable classes. One of the classes currently available is Monk, and if built properly, it’s extremely fun and satisfying to play.

In PoE 2, players have to pick between active and passive skills, Persistent Buff Skill Gems, Ascendancies, and items in order to create the best build. With so many options, finding the right build may be tricky. But, don’t worry, Monk players. Here is our favorite Monk build in PoE 2 so far.

Path of Exile 2 provides players the ultimate freedom to build their characters any way they want. If you like igniting, freezing, and shocking your enemies to death with the power of the elements, the Sorceress is the class for you. Out of the builds that have emerged throughout Early Access, the one that scales the best through the endgame is the Lightning Sorceress build.

The Lightning Sorceress channels the power of lightning as a conduit to shock groups of enemies. She does this by meticulously using the basic Spark spell that you can acquire early on. The build’s damage might be slow to start with, but it quickly scales in power as you level up Spark and acquire other buffs to support your casting.

Path of Exile 2 is out in early access and already features a variety of modern gameplay settings and choices. These visual and performance options allow players to adjust their gameplay experience however they like.

Unfortunately for players, finding the right settings can be a bit overwhelming, especially for those on console who aren’t used to the number of available options. Luckily, though, we have a few recommendations to increase your performance. Here are the best console settings for Path of Exile 2.

The Witch is one of the most popular and most powerful classes in Path of Exile 2. But her early game might prove a bit complex, especially for a newcomer.

To make your first few hours with this class easier, here is our best early-game Witch build in PoE 2.

Upon starting Path of Exile 2, you are given a choice of selecting one of six classes that are now available. Ranger is one of them, but the amount of options available for this build can often be overwhelming.

Grinding Gear Games outdid itself with PoE 2 by expanding the progression process of each class. During your journey, you will need to regularly select new active and passive skills, while also investing in specific Support Gems and items that boost your abilities and stats. There are dozens, if not hundreds of options in each of these areas, so picking the proper one is mind-boggling.

With Path of Exile 2 out, millions have been having loads of fun. It has been crowned by many as the best ARPG ever made, though, as with any game these days, PoE 2 carries tons of flaws. One of them is the randomized crafting system, which players are saying desperately needs change.

As opposed to the first game, crafting in Path of Exile 2 is entirely random. You get crafting orbs, collectively called currency, which can augment your items and give them one or more random modifiers. On rare occasions you can get your hands on some Essence currency, granting a random modifier from a certain category—though even then, the augment is almost entirely random and, what’s worse, often completely opposite to what you wanted. This has led many, myself included, to label the system as a “gacha,” with players actively calling on the developer, Grinding Gear Games, to “make crafting meaningful” as opposed to feeling like a “one-pull slot machine.”

The third Act of Path of Exile 2 is by far its most challenging and confusing, with quests like The Slithering Dead either not showing up in your log or giving you hints that lead to nowhere.

The Slithering Dead quest tasks you with exploring strange ruins in pursuit of an item you know nothing about. Here’s how to complete it and get an awesome reward from Servi.
