"3 new classes for full release..." | Path of Exile 2 Pod w/ Dreamcore

Path of Exile 2 1.0 fast approaches. Today, I sit down with Dreamcore on the Still Sane Podcast to discuss Path of Exile 2, the latest PoE2 critique videos, Early Access problems, endgame improvements, gear power, loot, build diversity, and what Grinding Gear Games needs to fix before PoE2 1.0.

We also discuss ExileCon, the future of Path of Exile 2, and revisit our original PoE2 predictions from our first creator collaboration in 2023.

What does PoE2 need to change before 1.0? Join the discussion in the comments!
