Welcome to the Path of Exile 2 news blog! We track the latest updates from Grinding Gear Games, bringing game updates, patch notes, classes and skills, gear systems, and seasonal content, as well as the latest news from the development team.
Sick of your Freeze, Shock, and Ignite just… existing? Siphon Elements turns those little elemental effects into something bigger: Infusion Remnants. These fragments boost your power and give you a reason to actually care when you slap a boss with a shock or ignite. Here's how to get started fast.
Ravenous Swarm is a new Intelligence buff gem in Path of Exile 2. When you activate it, insects pour out of your body and chase enemies, applying Poison and chip damage nonstop. The best part? They're untargetable minions, so nothing can kill them. This guide walks you through exactly how to use Ravenous Swarm, what to pair it with, and how to build around it.
If you've ever wished your bow build could attack while you dodge, Mirage Archer is your new best friend. This Dexterity Persistent Buff Gem lets you create a temporary clone every time you dodge roll. That clone fires your socketed ranged attack for a short time, then disappears. The catch? You can only have one Mirage at a time, and rolling too early resets the timer. In short: roll smart, shoot more, stay alive.
So you've seen the new Strength/Dexterity Persistent Buff Gem pop up in PoE 2 patch notes — Mortar Cannon. At first, I thought it was just another gimmick skill. But after testing it, I can tell you this gem actually changes how grenade builds play. If you've ever been frustrated by grenade cooldowns or clunky manual throws, Mortar Cannon fixes that by dropping a cannon totem that fires your grenades for you. Here's everything you need to know, broken down in simple, practical steps.
If you're like me and love stacking armor in Path of Exile 2, you know the usual problem: you survive everything, but fights drag on because your damage falls off. That's where Iron Ward comes in. This Strength buff gem literally turns your damage reduction into offense. Instead of just shrugging off hits, you store that prevention and explode it back as spikes. It's the perfect “I'm tanky but I also want things to die” skill.
So you've just seen Frost Darts pop up in PoE 2 and you're wondering: is this thing actually good or just another flashy cold spell? I've been playing around with it, and trust me—this one has some serious potential if you use it right. This guide will break down what Frost Darts does, how it interacts with chills and Cold Infusion, and how you can actually make it melt (or should I say freeze-then-shatter) enemies in practice.
So, you just found Toxic Domain and Ice-Tipped Arrows in Path of Exile 2 and you're wondering: Are these skills worth using, and how do I actually make them strong? I've been testing them in-game, and this guide will walk you through how they work, how to set them up, and where they shine.
Grinding Gear Games has introduced three powerful new Strength Skill Gems in Path of Exile 2. Each gem offers unique mechanics that expand the warcry, melee, and fiery-themed playstyle. Let's break down how Fortifying Cry, Forge Hammer, and Ancestral Cry work, and what kind of builds they may empower.
