Path Of Exile 2: How To Master The Selected Class As Soon As Possible? - Difficulty Ranking

Posted: Dec 25, 2024

In POE 2 early access released not long ago, there are 6 classes for you to choose and experience. Although 6 classes seem not so rich compared to the 12 classes that are expected to be released in the official game after the early access, it is actually enough for you to play for a long time.

As you know, the current 6 classes of Path of Exile 2 not only have different gameplays from each other, but each class also has its own builds and different ascendancy subclasses, so they have different strengths when facing different enemies. So if you want to farm POE 2 Regal Orbs by defeating high-level bosses, you must be more cautious in class selection.

In addition, because of the inherent differences in the design of each class, not every class is easy to operate. Some classes are relatively simple at the beginning, but difficult to operate in the endgame stage; some classes are difficult to upgrade in the early stage, but will show their full strength after being perfected.

Based on this, we have ranked these 6 classes from easy to hard based on the difficulty of mastering for your reference.Path Of Exile 2: How To Master The Selected Class As Soon As Possible? - Difficulty Ranking

6. Sorceress

Sorceress is currently the easiest class to play in POE 2. Although she has almost no protection against physical damage from enemies, she can use her powerful elemental attacks to eliminate enemies before they get close. However, if you want to improve her survivability, you can also invest in passive skills to gain energy shields.

In the mid-game, you can expand Sorceress’s damage potential through the synergy between lightning damage, Sorceress buff gems, and Stormweaver ascendancy.

In fact, this class may also be the easiest class to enter the endgame, because her high energy shield attribute and passive skills provide more survivability than you think.

5. Ranger

You may feel that Ranger is a complex class because of its skill-shot abilities, which require you to grasp the timing of the attack. Of course, this is true to a certain extent, and as a class with a high skill cap, Ranger has huge damage potential. But there are actually easier ways to deal damage to this class.

For example, if you play as a Ranger, you can easily deal a lot of area damage through lightning or poison, or use freezing skills such as Escape Shot and Freezing Salvo to control the enemy. Just invest in relevant passive damage skills, and you can keep your damage high throughout the game, making it easy to defeat enemies and get the dropped POE 2 Currency.

4. Witch

This class is a mixed bag in terms of difficulty. At the beginning, the required operations of Witch are relatively easy, because the available minions have a significant advantage in the early game, which can prevent enemies from approaching, while you can deal damage from a distance.

However, once you enter the mid-to-late game, when bosses and elites can deal enough damage to eliminate minions, Witch will gradually lose this combat advantage. Unless you wait for rebirth, then it will be difficult for you to focus on damage output.

For this reason, it is recommended that you light up the passive points that enhance the ability of minions, and also pay attention to Witch’s energy shield passive, which can prevent you from dying immediately when the minions’ meat shield is broken. In addition, curses and infection mechanisms that can achieve optimal damage add a little extra complexity to Witch.

3. Mercenary

At first glance, you will find that the combat function of Mercenary seems similar to that of Ranger - they are both ranged warriors and can mix elemental and poison attacks. But compared to the high mobility of Ranger, Mercenary has greater health and armor potential, as well as a more methodical shooting method.

Mercenary’s crossbow can fire various types of arrows and ammunition, such as allowing you to use Fragmentation Rounds in close combat and Permafrost Bolts at a distance. Or use grenades to ignite a cloud of poison gas, allowing you to cause large-scale damage to enemies as you upgrade.

2. Warrior

If you are more used to playing RPGs, or are familiar with POE 1, you may be mistakenly thought that Warrior will be the easiest class to get started at the beginning, but the more complex melee mechanics in Path of Exile 2 mean that this is not the case. To experience the game as a Warrior in POE 2, you need to balance many things.

While you also get the standard survivability boost, this ultimately counteracts the demanding playstyle of POE 2. That is, even Warrior with the highest armor can’t stand still and take the boss’s hits.

Of course, it is possible to create Warrior builds that can clear the end content, and the class has the highest single-target damage potential in the game. However, this requires you to have very precise and patient gameplay and pay careful attention to movement rotation and enemy status, so the actual operation is still relatively difficult.

1. Monk

If you can fully master this class, you can get excellent clearing speed in combat, but it will be difficult to reach the upper limit of Monk. To do this, you must master the use of energy charges and actively generate them in order to enhance skills. And to get the highest DPS output of Monk, you need to use Tempest Bell. When other Monk skills hit it, the damage you deal with will be further amplified.

In addition, the survivability of Monk is relatively average, because the class attributes are mainly distributed in intelligence and agility, so you can only defend with dodge rating and energy shield. But the humble dodge level attribute provides almost no protection, so you can only focus on strengthening the energy shield to resist enemy attacks.

But no matter which class you choose to play, you will need the help and benefits of various Orbs. So join POE 2 Currency giveaway event in IGGM Discord now! Just leave the emoji “Love” for a chance to get a lot of Orbs! Good luck!
