As Path of Exile 2's Early Access cycle of patches comes to a close, I'm revisiting some of the biggest issues I've encountered with the game to get an updated perspective and an idea of the direction we're heading in for 1.0 and beyond. This video tackles the problems I see with Path of Exile 2's level of power coming from items versus other sources, and digs into deeper issues such as Skill level modifiers and the power-creep of Jewels in recent updates. ► Guides: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/d... ► Support:   / dreamcore_gg   ► Discord:   / discord   ► Twitter:   / dreamcore_gg   ► Donate: https://paypal.me/dreamcoregg ► Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/prof... ► Second Channel:    / @dreamcore_darkmode   My Peripherals (links below directly support me) 🎧HyperX Cloud II: https://amzn.to/3uJkc1A 🎤Editors Keys SL150: https://amzn.to/4clDkTg 🖰 Logitech G203 Lightsync: https://amzn.to/3UHXyBk #pathofexile2 #poe2 0:00 Full Launch Soon 0:48 PoE2's Biggest Issue? 1:37 Skill Level Modifiers 2:09 Level Modifier Updates 4:57 Launch Baseline Power 5:37 Moving Level Acquisition 6:34 Power Variance 8:24 Unique Item Design 10:54 Jewel Powercreep & The Passive Tree 13:55 Ascendancy Power 14:49 Concluding Thoughts
