The latest major update of Path of Exile 2 adds a new playable character named Huntress through its Dawn of the Hunt expansion.

The Huntress handles spears by performing precise attacks in melee combat and fast throwing distances from her weapons. The beast mastery ability makes her stand unique as she can tame untamed animals during combat, create battle summons, and capture scarce monster souls for combat advantages. The addition of this hybrid play style delivers strategic opportunities to players who want to blend offensive power with defensive strategizing.

The update doesn’t stop there. Three new Ascendancy classes have entered Path of Exile: the Tactician, which suits Mercenaries for tactical support; the Smith of Kitava as the brutal Warrior option; and the Lich, which offers dark power for Witches. The new Ascendancies in the game feature different mechanics, which provide players with various playstyles and build versatility.

There are also some gameplay improvements that provide more than 100 new Unique items alongside a variety of Support Gems. The PoE 2 endgame experience received major changes. Seven difficult endgame maps, including bosses and some gameplay mechanics, were added to the game. Within the corrupted nexuses, players earn valuable loot by tackling twisted zones during the cleansing process.

Grinding Gear Games strongly advises players to start a new character from the beginning so they can experience all features of the content rebalance.
