Path Of Exile 2 Boosting

The most attractive and popular news about POE 2 recently should be the patch 0.2.0 Dawn of the Hunt, which will be released on April 4, 2025. After all, it differs from previous POE 2 patches. Besides fixing bugs, it will also bring you a lot of new content to experience!

In fact, these contents will not only enrich your experience, but also play an important role in the development of POE 2, and may even indicate that the official version will be coming soon. Therefore, it can be imagined that these new contents are a lot on the one hand, and the mechanisms and systems covered on the other hand are also comprehensive. Based on this, we will bring you a comprehensive preview of the relevant information before the official release of the patch.

New Class & Ascendancy Classes

Class is the basis for creating your character when playing Path of Exile 2. The skills and gear available to you in battle are often related to the class. In order to ensure your gaming experience in this aspect, the development team previously announced that 12 classes will be launched in the official version of POE 2. Although there are only 6 classes in the current early access, Dawn of the Hunt will bring you the seventh class Huntress!

The power of Huntress is mainly reflected in her ability to cleverly combine melee and ranged attack capabilities by using both a spear and a small round shield as weapons, so that she can deal with most combat situations and enemies. It should be noted that if you choose to play Huntress after the release of patch 0.2.0, it is best to buy POE 2 Currency in time to add better affixes to these two weapons, to give full play to the true power of this new class.

In addition, there are 5 new Ascendancy Classes that are worth your attention, because they can make the corresponding class more powerful. They are:

• Ritualist (Huntress)
• Amazon (Huntress)
• Lich (Witch)
• Smith of Kitava (Warrior)
• Tactician (Mercenary)

New Encounter Enemies

Combat is one of the eternal themes of most ARPGs, including Path of Exile 2. While bringing you a different gaming experience, they are also the main source of currency, XP and items. Based on this, this patch will add the following two enemies as new encounter targets.

1. Rogue Exiles

This type of NPC enemy will appear randomly in various maps after you enter the endgame stage. As the name suggests, they are the “rogue” version of the player, so they will use the same skills as you in battle, and even these skills are based on the classes you can play. In addition, the items that Rogue Exiles can equip and the way to dodge attacks are also very similar to you, which makes the battle with them close to PVP mode experience.

2. Azmerian Wisps

Azmerian Wisps don’t fight you directly, but when you get close to them, they flee in the form of glowing balls, and then on the way they infuse special effects into all monsters that come into contact with them, making the monsters more powerful. In addition, the buffs obtained by the monster depend on the type of Wisps. Currently known Azmerian Wisps include:

• Bear
• Winter Owl
• Wild Cat
• Cunning Fox

After defeating Rogue Exiles or monsters possessed by Azmerian Wisps, in addition to the regular rewards, you will also get special gear through the former and special amulets through the latter, which will be useful for your subsequent boss battles.

New Gems & Unique Items

Whether it is skill gems, support gems or unique items, they all play a very important role in your Path of Exile 2 encounters, so Dawn of the Hunt, as an important patch, will add a lot of new ones to meet your combat needs.

For example, the new skill Raise Spectre allows you to capture the souls of monsters and summon them as your helpers in battle; more than 100 support gems with different functions will help improve most of your POE 2 builds; more than 100 new unique items, such as Calamity Heroic Armour, will give you more options in battle.

New Look Of Endgame

Endgame is the most difficult stage in POE 2, but it is also the core of the game. It not only represents the true production level of this game, but also reflects your investment in the game based on your performance. Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade it comprehensively through the new patch.

Dawn of the Hunt will first add 7 new explorable maps to endgame, such as The Fractured Lake. In fact, in the endgame stage, various random events and encounters will appear on the map, and farming these events will enable you to obtain a lot of resources. Therefore, the increase in the number of maps not only improves your farming efficiency, but also brings you a refreshing combat experience through their different geographical features.

In addition to the events that take place in these maps, patch 0.2.0 is expected to add a new mechanism called Cleanse The Corruption to endgame. This mechanism will bring a corruption that can continue to spread. There will be 3 new bosses in the center of the corrupted area. The corruption will be cleared after defeating them. It is worth noting that the purified corrupted area will generate new enemies, and you can only get the final reward after defeating them.

The above is the core part of the new content brought by Dawn of the Hunt. It is expected that after the patch is officially launched, you may find more interesting new details, so stay tuned!

When playing POE series, I believe you can never don’t want to have too much loot! Because the currency, gear and items contained in it can help your character grow smoothly until it is powerful enough to deal with enemies of all levels. To do this, the game must set up enough battles as a source of loot.

Based on the first game, although Path of Exile 2 early access has done a good job in the loot pool overall, there is still a problem with the low drop rate of some special items. Fortunately, the game will bring a series of new content in POE 2 0.2.0 patch Dawn Of The Hunt released on April 4, including Rogue Exiles and Azmerian Wisps that can provide you with more loot!

Rogue Exiles

After entering the endgame stage, you will encounter various random events and enemies in the map, and Rogue Exiles is one of them. Although they are game NPCs, the name indicates that they are essentially the same group as you, the exile, and you have the same skills and moves.

During the battle, Rogue Exiles can avoid your attacks through dodge rolls, smart pathfinding, smart aiming, and more dynamic gameplay, and can even equip and use some items you may also have. What’s more amazing is that each Rogue Exile belongs to a specific class, for example, a Rogue Exile holding a hammer can use Warrior class skills to attack you.

However, it is precisely because of this special and interesting new mechanism that your battle with Rogue Exiles is in PVE form, but the experience will be closer to PVP mode, which is definitely a thorough innovation for POE series of games.

How To Find Rogue Exiles?

It is expected that in Dawn Of The Hunt, Rogue Exiles will not be set in a specific map, but randomly scattered on various endgame maps. To find them, you need to fully explore Atlas of Worlds - it is the core of POE 2 endgame, where you can select maps, place Waystones, and plan routes to difficult boss encounters.

It is worth noting that when you explore Atlas map, there are some landmarks that can speed up your exploration progress or increase the difficulty of the map to increase the rewards available. It is expected that they may also play a similar role in your Rogue Exiles farming. These landmarks are:

• Realmgate
• Lost Towers
• Hideouts
• Burning Monolith
• Citadels

However, when you increase the challenge difficulty of the map through a certain landmark, you’d better buy POE 2 Currency to bring more positive modifier effects to your weapons and gear, otherwise you may not be able to resist the stronger Rogue Exiles.

What Rewards Can You Get For Defeating Rogue Exiles?

Each Rogue Exile has a special piece of gear. After entering Atlas map, you can hover over Rogue Exiles to highlight the description of Rogue Exile and the gear they hold. You can then carry out targeted gear farming as needed.

Azmerian Wisps

As a new species that will appear in Wraeclast, Azmerian Wisps are more like a special buff for inherent POE 2 enemies than an enemy. You will start to encounter them in Grelwood after entering Act 1. When you approach them, these Wisps that look like glowing balls will flee, and all monsters that come into contact with it on the way will be injected with special effects and become more powerful.

The tricky thing is that Wisps will also find more rare or unique monsters on their own, giving them powerful new abilities. The buffs the enemy gets depend on the type of Wisps that possess it. Path of Exile 2 Dawn Of The Hunt is expected to bring 4 Azmerian Wisps, and they and their effects are as follows:

• Bear: When this Wisp is attached to an enemy, it increases the enemy’s health and the stun effect it can cause. In addition, it will periodically summon a phantom bear to damage you by slamming the ground.
• Winter Owl: Winter Owl can enhance the host’s cold damage output and provide it with an energy shield, and summon a tornado that can protect the host, and a wind vortex when the host dies - they will destroy everything in range.
• Wild Cat: All monsters affected by Wild Cat will deal with more critical hits to you and increase the dodge rate they have. It also summons Feline Spirits to suppress you.
• Cunning Fox: This fox can convert the host to the next rarity level, such as converting normal to magic, magic to rare, and rare to boss, making it more powerful.

Interestingly, you can also modify the behavior and skills of Azmerian Wisps in the game through Atlas Tree and Tablets to make their behavior more in line with your combat habits. Considering that the in-game economy will be reset after Dawn Of The Hunt goes online, if you accidentally adjust Azmerian Wisps to be more difficult, it is recommended that you complete other tasks in time to gain more currency to strengthen your character.

Rewards From Azmerian Wisps

If you can defeat enemies possessed by Azmerian Wisps, you will be able to obtain special amulets that can be inserted into specific items with slots, thereby expanding the possibilities of POE 2 builds you can use.

The above is the specific information we brought to you about the two new mechanisms that will be released in patch 0.2.0. I hope they can help you!
