Grinding Gear Games announced that the full release for Path of Exile 2 is on December 11. Once it goes live, players can finally experience the complete six-Act Campaign. There's also the new Classes being introduced.
The complete campaign sees Act 5 and Act 6 being added to what's already available. There's a total of 24 unique areas along with 18 new deadly bosses. Players can also look forward to discovering more than 20 new Champion Rare encounters, each one having its own mechanics and surprises.
The Shadow Arrives
The full version of Patch of Exile 2 introduces two new classes. The first is Shadow, which introduces Stealth. This is a new mechanic in the game that's unlike any stealth mechanic. How it works is that while in Stealth, monsters won't be able to see players until they get within a certain distance from them. Then while they're in the shadows, their dagger skills are empowered as it gives a range of additional bonuses.
Aside from daggers, the Shadow also brings with it new weapon types which are Traps. Players can prepare traps while in stealth which can then be triggered automatically as they strike. Traps explode in the order they were thrown, which means players can set up the perfect combo.
When the full version comes out, the Shadow gets two Ascendancy classes which are the Assassin and the Infiltrator.
The Duelist is Here
The second class being added is the Duelist. Like with the Shadow class, this one also introduces a new mechanic. This one is called "Stances" and sees the Duelist using it masterfully in battle. Players can use Ready Stance which then empower their sword skills. It pretty much improves each of the sword skills in different ways. Players can also unlock even deadlier combinations by upgrading Ready Stance to Sand or Blood Stances.
Duelist is going to have two Ascendancy Classes when Path of Exile 2 launches and these are the Knight and the Master-at-Arms.
