During a press preview of the new season of Path of Exile 2, we asked the director what class he would be playing in the new season “The Third Edict.” He had a clear answer.
Who is it about? Jonathan Rogers is the face of Path of Exile 2 for many and one of the founders of the development studio behind the ARPG. During a press preview of the new season “The Third Edict” for Path of Exile 2, MeinMMO was able to ask the director some questions. We wanted to know which class he is actually playing in the new season, and he had a clear answer.
Here you can watch the trailer for the new season of Path of Exile 2:
Through Season 2 with a lot of fire
Which class does the director play? The class that the director of Path of Exile 2 plays in Season 2 is the Warrior. This class has undergone a major overhaul for the new season and can now fight enemies with colorful effects and a lot of fire.
With the new combination of hammer skills and “Warcries,” a whole inferno of fire attacks can be ignited, completely redesigning the Warrior’s playstyle. It seems the developer liked it too, as he played this class extensively in the beta.
What else does he say about the classes? While Season 2 doesn’t start for most players until August 29, 2025, the director was already able to try out most classes on the test server. He could only not extensively test one class.
The Sorceress has been so heavily changed by the overhaul of the elemental effects in the game that he has not yet found time to start a thorough playthrough with her. He has played the class, but only in parts and never from beginning to endgame.
Even though the director of Path of Exile 2 names the Warrior as his favorite class, the class does not yet have to be considered particularly strong in the meta. The new balance of the game is one of the major changes that “The Third Edict” will bring.
