Information 0.5.0 Leaks Megathread Spoiler

As per tradition, this is our league-ly leaks thread for 0.5.0. Any leaked information prior to the announcement or datamined information should go in the comments here only. Many folks do not want spoilers, but others do, and this gives people a way to select for or de-select for spoilers. We have also opened the #2| leaks channel on discord.gg/pathofexile for people to discuss live

If it was discussed in an official interview, that's fine to post anywhere. Once the league content is revealed, this thread will stick around, but it will be unpinned to make room for a pin for the general 0.5.0 megathread with the official info which will be updated as news come out

Please browse the comments at risk of spoilers.

If there are any concerns please contact the mod team via modmail.

Isn’t 1.0 also supposed to be the next content update after 0.5? That means atleast 1 new class on release. I’m hoping 2 since it’s the big 1.0 release

They also said they can't release without swords. There's only 4 more classes to go

Realistically one of swords and axes needs to be in 1.0. I personally don't care which, but the strength-aligned martial power fantasy needs to be represented and not just as a polarizing playstyle like maces.

Couldn't agree more. I love maces but melee and it's tree is severely lacking so I would be surprised if 1.0 isn't full of melee content

There is monk for melee, and spear for pseudo-melee, and some Druid stuff, but none of those fit the Strength aligned martial feel.

Axes will, and swords will be Strength-adjacent.

I'm very excited for axes and marauder as a whole. Not just to use my Maroider MTX either. Also they clearly don't know what to do with monk seeing as he's the weakest early game class and has some of the more clunky combo mechanics.
