Incline Path of Exile 2 - now available on Early Access

[Jaedar]

My thought on spellcaster ascendencies:
Stormweaver: Arcane Surge is MEH, storms are impossible to say without knowing how they stack and their damage. The ele afflictions stuff feels like leftovers from elementalist. Could still be solid, but boring.
Chronomancer: Time stop seems fun, can't lie. Cooldown reset is potentially hilarious. Mega temp chains for free also seems good. I could totally run this is a league starter.
Bloodmage: Forced life cost on spells could be nice if there's good tree support, potentially lots of overflow hp if you zoom. Extra phys damage seems bad unless armor calc changed, crit tree seems good, final 2 points (there's still 8 total right?) would not excite me.
Infernalist: The life reservation part of the tree seems weird, maybe if you had chaos damage immunity from a unique and could perma low life? But it's a lot of points and life lost for mediocre boosts. Demonform is potentially good MOAR damage but no numbers. Hellhound seems ok, infinite mana is pretty thematic.

Only one real stinker imo. My main worry here is GGG seems to be regressing in terms of offering numbers.

Well, I guess it is more waiting for me...

Pretty sure the remaining classes and ascendancies will be released over time while in EA.

I like how many of the remarks here amount to: why isn't the early access launch feature complete and ready for full launch?

Sorry, but the Templar is the only class that I want to play.

That's fine. You weren't the only one to make that sort of remark.

You do realize he will have pants this time around?

Finally!

To be fair, the witch hunter looks fun thematically. That skill making you lose 50% armour and evasion sounds a bit suicidal, though...

Yes but first ones coming are Druid and Huntress so Templar way down the line.

WHAAAT MORE THAN ONE BUTTON ? TOO HARD !

Well statistically it makes sense they want to capture midwits before they fu ehem fickle off.

Seems like a very solid ascendancy. Pretty much everything in there is good on every attack build.

 

[ArchAngel]

Some Ascendancies have interesting abilities that is impossible to say how it plays without trying it out first. Like the Chayula Monk Breach ability.

 

[deama]

I love monks, definitely gonna try Chayula Monk!
I wonder what the 3rd one for monk will be?

Also, does anyone know if there's gonna be like fist weapons or knuckles? Or only claws?

I want to do ice monk, attacks looked cool in preview videos.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Definitely some cool stuff in the ascendancies. It's a shame the cool shit will get nerfed into the ground before full release. 'Because of one streamer that used 400 mirrors worth of gear to make a whispering ice build actually function, we've changed this node from '100% more effect of attributes' to '-500 to all attributes, 120% more effect of all attributes.' This is a buff (for one guy that was stacking 4000 strength- btw we're nerfing strength to provide 50% less melee damage but it's not going to be mentioned in the patch notes.)

Yeah, I'll be rolling monk tooi but going full avatar route. 3rd one could be full physical/wind type but GGG making suprises nowadays.

Wist weapons and claws should come to EA with the Shadow class, they were his main weapon.

I can't even tell if this is satire or if that's an actual reporting of what they are doing.

 

[abija]

slight exaggeration

 

[frajaq]

I'm gonna try to force a Melee Blood Mage (depends on the small Ascendancy nodes tbf), unless travel nodes cost is too high

Bought cheapest supporter pack, game is downloaded and ready. Elite Core controller arrived yesterday. Waiting for tomorrow evening. If servers will be dead then I will play some more Stalker 2 and go to sleep earlier and try to play it on Saturday.

How'd you preload the game? On steam there's no option for me.

It should already be pre-loadable on consoles.

They'll make the preload for the PC client available on their website in about 3 hours I think. Not sure how that works with Steam.
