Some time ago, after nearly ten years of polishing, Path of Exile 2 Early Access finally met with many players! In this brand new game, you will experience 12 completely different professions, each of which will bring you a completely different gaming experience.
Although you can only experience some professions in Early Access, it does not prevent you from using one of them to create the best match. But if you choose a powerful class at the beginning, creating the best build will be easier. So this guide will rank them according to the strength of the class ability for you and give you a specific introduction to S Tier class.
Class Tier List
The following is the current class tier list we have made based on the feedback from multiple player communities and social media on various classes in POE 2 Early Access, but it is worth noting that there is no really bad class in the game, it is just that they are more difficult to explore compared to higher-level classes.
- S Tier: Mercenary & Sorcerer & Monk
- A Tier: Ranger
- B Tier: Witch
- C Tier: Warrior
S Tier Class Overview
Mercenary
Of the six classes available in Early Access, Mercenary is the best choice for players because of its versatility, lethality, and uniqueness. It is also the best class in the game. In a game like POE 2 that emphasizes melee attacks, the Mercenary’s reliance on the crossbow, is a big reason to choose it.
Although Mercenary only has a few skill options that can cause AOE to enemies in combat, if you combine it with the available elemental types such as ice or electrical bolts, you will get very valuable rewards, such as POE2 Currency or some gear.
In addition, Mercenary is a class that focuses on Dexterity and Strength, which is very suitable for players who like ranged attacks, explosives, or various elemental actions. In addition, all its skills are very simple to operate, which is very suitable for rookies.
However, it is worth noting that Crossbow used by Mercenary will face the problem of long reload time and lack of agility in battle, so you may need to pay more attention to flexibility when building its build, but don’t worry too much about its defensive ability because its health pool is very good.
Sorcerer
Sorcerer, as another very popular ranged Class, also has very powerful destructive capabilities. Unlike Mercenary, Sorcerer’s Staff does not cast single physical damage to long-range enemies, but multiple elemental damage, such as fireballs, lightning bolts, ice storms, and even severe injuries.
This class is actually similar to Witch in POE, so some old players of the original game may find it very easy to use. For players who are new to this type of game, if you like to stand in a safe range and use elements to defeat the enemy, Sorcerer may be very suitable for you, because you don’t need too high precision or high-intensity thinking.
In addition, the range of AOE damage that Sorcerer can release is very large, and it can even cover the entire map. If you find that there is no small part of the map that is inflicted with AOE damage during exploration, your build may have problems.
In fact, Sorcerer is not a perfect class, and still has problems such as over-reliance on mana, poor melee effect, and not too high health. So when you choose POE 2 Items for your build, try to solve these problems as much as possible, and then your build will challenge the most difficult game content in the game.
Monk
It is important to remind you that although Monk has advantages such as fast combat speed, high flexibility and the ability to cause stun damage, it can be said to be the most difficult Class to use in POE 2 because it requires the user to have a very high game awareness and operation skills.
If you have the above requirements and prefer to fight the enemy at close range, then you will definitely like Monk. Another very eye-catching advantage is that it can stun the enemy or put them in a special state in a brief time, which other Classes cannot do. Even when you hit the target or meet other conditions, you can get a beneficial gain such as POE 2 Exalted Orb from your other attacks!
If you focus on its sprint ability or offensive skills in the process of building Monk, you will get an unstoppable destroyer. But it is important to remind you that Monk’s health is low, so you also need to pay continuous attention to this attribute in the construction. In addition, because of the complexity of Monk’s operation, it does not perform very well in boss battles, so you can use this powerful Class in PVE or PVP mode.
The above is the tier list of classes in Path of Exile 2 Early Access and the introduction of several classes in the current S Tier. I hope that with the help of these classes with specific play styles, you can better and more easily explore the new content in this sequel.
