Path of Exile 2 has always had a strange relationship with new players.

Path of Exile 2’s Reverie and Hollow Mask Reworks Are More Than Patch-Note Hype

Reworked uniques are always dangerous in Path of Exile 2 discourse.

From Level 1 to Tier 15: Why ED Contagion Still Feels Like the Smartest League-Start Bet in Path of Exile 2
