Path of Exile has simply absolutely unveiled its Legacy of Phrecia occasion, and on condition that it’s a relatively last-minute make-good with the neighborhood after saying that help for PoE would pause to deal with Path of Exile 2, I’m shocked at how stacked it’s.

They’re all completely new subclasses, and are born out of among the craziest ideas GGG had give you through the years that’d been beforehand positioned within the ‘possibly’ pile. “This occasion manifests the wildest concepts of our design group into actuality,” it says.
The brand new trailer for the occasion above showcases all 19 Ascendancy lessons in motion. However to be trustworthy, from a few of their names alone, they sound extremely thrilling. The Architect of Chaos. Oooh. The Surfacaster. Aaah. The Lavatory Shaman. Hell yeah. It’s additionally confirmed which you could change lessons throughout the occasion, so there’s loads of alternative to strive a number of Ascendancies out. You may talent bushes for all 19 subclasses right here.
As GGG had already revealed, it’s not simply the brand new Ascendancies which might be reworking the endgame throughout this occasion. “The Atlas Passive Tree on this occasion (and this occasion solely) has been changed by a brand new system. As you progress via the endgame you’ll discover Idols, which may be positioned into a brand new tab on the Map Receptacle UI to switch your maps.”
It additionally reveals a brand new armor set that shall be an event-exclusive reward. Every particular person merchandise within the set shall be earned at degree 20, 40, 60, and 80.
