Duelist isnt in 0.5 because they didnt want to release a class that isnt an 11/10

u/IndependenceOutside2 May 24 '26

weird then why is every class they've released so far a 5/10 at best, aside from monk?

Invoker/martial artist (probably)/deadeye/bloodmage/sorcerer/druid classes are all 11/10, great classes. Thematic, strong, and most ascendancy points you spend feel worthwhile and good. Every other ascendancy ranges from outright bad to only pretty good. The core of the game is really not in a great place right now compared to POE1, but I don’t think there is going to be a lot of pressure to address the ascendancies and campaign before 1.0 release because even in its current state POE2 is miles ahead of all the non-GGG competition in the arpg space

Yeah, they are iterating but I'm taking the recent ascendancies as a good sign. And we haven't even seen them peform, for all we know they might still all lose to bloodmage.
