The Atlas Passive Tree Still Needs Work... w/ aer0 - The Path 2 Exile Podcast Ep. 61
aer0 joins the podcast this week and we get into some real talk about where the Atlas endgame still falls short.We open with aer0's take on the PoE1/PoE2 cycle and get into a genuinely interesting debate about what actually counts as a league starter, plus a deep look at how strong Disciple of Varashta really is. From there we dig into the Atlas endgame rework and why the Atlas Tree still doesn't offer much real choice, the state of the Tablet market, and some Tablet loadout and inventory gripes that have been bugging us. We also talk about whether the community has gotten too "div-per-hour" brained, run through Cities, Delirium, and Expedition, and get into why Ritual still has issues. We close out with a discussion on league fatigue and burnout, the grind to level 100, and whether anyone actually farms the game's alternative content anymore.

Is Path of Exile 2 Ready for Release? w/ Dreamcore - The Path 2 Exile Podcast Ep. 60
Dreamcore joins the podcast this week to talk through everything coming out of Gamescom and the big question looming over the game: is PoE 2 actually ready for release?We start with a Gamescom recap and dig into the new Sword and combo gameplay before getting into the bigger systemic stuff — Uber boss design, gear variance, and how gem levels stack up against caster scaling. From there we get into whether uniques or gem levels matter more right now, recent standout uniques like Constricting Command, and what lessons PoE 2 should be taking from PoE 1's approach to defenses. We also dive into the "campaign sucks" debate, campaign restrictions and respecs, crafting bench access, the ongoing Artificer's Orb shortage, and changes to Ritual, Gas Grenade, Trial of Chaos, and Expedition. We close it out with league starter recaps, a full breakdown of the new Atlas Point system, viewer comments, and this week's Build of the Week.

We round it out with balance talk on Pounce and Wolf Form's dodge-roll exploit, a hot take on complaining vs. just playing the game, and this week's Build of the Week featuring Orb of Storms and Plasma Blast.

We also discuss Mirage and the new Wisp Strongbox mechanic — including whether it's strong enough that a nerf is inevitable.We then look back at Patch 0.5 and the current state of crafting, including the removal of Omen of Corruption and how crafting has evolved throughout the patch.From there, it's prediction time. We discuss what we think GGG could reveal at Gamescom 2026, what we want to see from Patch 0.5.5, and where Path of Exile 2 could be heading as we get closer to its eventual full release.Finally, we tackle two major endgame discussions: whether the Level 100 grind is too difficult in PoE 2 and our biggest problems with the current implementation of Expedition.

How Do We Actually Make Our Builds? w/ FunkehChicken - The Path 2 Exile Podcast Ep. 56
How do experienced Path of Exile 2 players actually make their own builds? Where do they start, what do they prioritize, and how do they know when a build is "finished?"In Episode 56 of The Path 2 Exile Podcast, we're joined by @FunkehChicken , one of the most respected build creators in the Path of Exile 2 community, to dive deep into the process behind making successful builds.We kick things off by discussing our recent experiences in Hardcore, Trade, and Solo Self-Found, including whether Async Trade has ultimately been a positive addition to PoE 2 and how our first Hardcore deaths have shaped the way we approach the game.The heart of the episode focuses on build creation. We discuss how we actually design our builds from the ground up, the differences between creating builds for Softcore versus Hardcore, what players should realistically expect from a "budget build," and the constant balancing act between maximizing damage and investing in defenses.We also talk about the unique challenges of creating build guides in Hardcore, why communication can sometimes be one of the hardest parts of content creation, react to community hot takes, and finish with another round of Comments of the Week.

Timmy's Hardcore League is AWESOME! w/ Timmy_P - The Path 2 Exile Podcast Ep. 55
In Episode 55 of The Path 2 Exile Podcast, we're joined by @Timmy_P_onTwitch to talk all about Timmy's Hardcore (THC) League, Hardcore, Solo Self-Found, and how these different ways of playing can completely change your experience with POE 2.We catch up with Timmy and discuss the idea behind THC League, what makes Hardcore exciting, and why everyone approaches Hardcore differently. We also talk about Miso's recent experiences playing PoE 1 and HCSSF, and how removing trade changes the way you think about progression.A big part of the discussion revolves around Solo Self-Found and item progression. When you can't simply buy the gear or upgrades you need, ground loot suddenly becomes much more meaningful. However, that also exposes some of the weaknesses of SSF progression, including how scarce important early-game resources like Runes can feel.Later, we get into the current state of Leech and Ascendancy balance, before looking ahead to Patch 0.5.5 and discussing our predictions, wishlist, and what we'd like to see GGG address with the next update.
