Popular Builds in 1.2, Forsaken Masters?
Hey everyone,
I'm creating a Flashback Series on PoE 1 and am currently on the Forsaken Masters episode. I have a few builds in my back pocket to highlight during it, but I'd love to get a bit of community insight from players who were around back then and are here now before finalizing. Old forum posts only help so much!
Does anyone have some popular builds I could explore?
The Tremendously Improved Path of Exile 2 Boss Design
Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2's campaigns will boast drastically different boss design. Every single time we've seen a boss battle in POE 2, it's an absolute banger, slamming almost every PoE 1 boss to the ground. Of course, that also means once PoE 2 launches, we'll likely be getting lots of these bosses in the endgame of Path of Exile with the map system, changing what might be a pissed off rhoa into a bell-wielding, massive humanoid crow monster. Here's a collection of some of the bosses we've seen in Path of Exile 2 compared to Path of Exile 1's campaign, helping us expectation set what we'll be seeing incredibly soon.
Thanks for watching everyone -- truly appreciate the support and growth we've had in the past month. To much more in the future!!
What an excellent quote from a dev back in 2015:
If someone asked me what Path of Exile's greatest strength was, I'd answer with just one word: depth. The breadth of choice and volume of interesting interactions between skills, supports, passives and items are what differentiates Path of Exile from other games, and what keeps players coming back over and over again. Path of Exile's greatest weakness, on the other hand? Complexity.>
Even now, I completely agree. They know it's the reason their game is great and the reason it is niche.
Very curious to see what others think about this.
Someone in the comments pointed out we'll also go to Oriath for one reason or another as we saw Kitava's overgrown skull in the initial PoE 2 trailer. Perhaps we'll stop by the island on our way to Ngamakanui!
Let's Talk New Weapons in PoE 2, Plus How ALL Weapons Might Change
Two weapons are confirmed for Path of Exile 2, but the way they're designed could mean absolutely massive changes for the Path of Exile weapon system as a whole. PoE hasn't seen a new weapon class introduced in many years, since sceptres were added, and with the introduction of spears and crossbows, we are either seeing these as incredibly special weapon classes in PoE...or everything is about to change.
What do you think? Will we see more? Scythes? Flails? Whips? Actual unarmed as an option??? We'll see soon!
Fearless self-promotion here, but I made "reactions" with a broader context and argument in mind for each.

PoE 1 Flashback Series: Path of Exile's Huge Official 1.0.0 Launch (Episode 4)
The series continues with the official launch of PoE! Diving into the end of Act III, the Scion, Domination & Nemesis leagues, and much more, I'm looking to gaze into the past of PoE in the lead-up to PoE 2.
Join me and let me know your thoughts about the idea, series, and when you may have joined PoE. Were you an exile in the distant past when PoE 1.0 hit the world on October 23, 2013?
Hey, many thanks! I'm enjoying the massive engagement and positivity around them. It's a welcome refreshment.
I'm curious about that, too. A quick search shows it has never been referenced in PoE. I'm guessing it's an Egyptian-themed desert area with Vaal ruins inside, as the exile references Queen Atziri.
We'll see soon enough :)
Another wicked teaser. Gameplay systems can only be improved so much in PoE2, but sound, graphics, and animations? A ton over PoE1. And shockingly…these teasers are smashing the latest competition.
Exilecon cannot arrive soon enough!
