The Dawn of The Hunt patch for Path of Exile 2 brings a wealth of new content and significant changes to the game. Here's a breakdown of the major additions and adjustments in this patch:

New Class: The Huntress

Weapon Specialization: The Huntress excels with spears and bucklers, combining close combat and ranged attacks. Unlike the Monk class, she is always in motion, enhancing her fluidity in combat.

Unique Abilities: The Huntress' Parry skill offers responsive countermeasures during battle. She can unleash powerful elemental spear attacks, creating some of the longest combo chains in the game's history.

New Ascendancy Classes

Three new ascendancy classes are introduced, each with its distinctive playstyle:

The Smiths of Kiatava (Warrior): Masters of fire and pain, they can craft destructive weapons powered by the destructive forces of Kitava.

The Lich (Witch): Commanding chaos and undeath, the Lich sacrifices her life energy to amplify her powers, manipulating curses and chaos in unique ways.

The Tactician (Mercenary): A former Blackguard Elite, the Tactician excels in military violence, making them deadly on the battlefield, perfect for players who prefer brute force tactics.

Endgame Content Overhaul

The Dawn of The Hunt patch redefines the Path of Exile 2 endgame experience:

New Maps: Eight new maps have been added, with Fractured Lake being a standout. This map introduces a distorted reality, where rare beasts are mirrored and create unique challenges for players.

Corruption Mechanic: The new Corruption mechanic will spread across the landscape, creating areas with a Corrupted Nexus. Within these corrupted zones, players will face three new bosses, each tied to the Corruption theme. Defeating them rewards players with new bosses, creatures, and rare loot.

Tower Adjustments: The number of Towers in the game has been reduced, but their potency has been increased, making endgame challenges more strategic.

Loot and Customization

Over 100 new unique items have been added, providing higher-level characters with fresh loot opportunities.

The patch introduces more than 100 new support gems and 20 runes, offering deeper customization options for characters and enabling players to create unique builds with their abilities and gear.

The update will be available simultaneously on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.

This update promises to deepen the gameplay experience, introducing exciting new mechanics, content, and opportunities for building powerful characters in Path of Exile 2.
