Path of Exile 2: The Last of the Druids releases December 12

Grinding Gear Games announced Path of Exile 2: The Last of the Druids is releasing on December 12 across PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. The new content update will add a powerful new Pinnacle endgame boss.

Here is what will come to Path of Exile 2: The Last of the Druids update this week:

• Transform into a Bear, Wolf, or Wyvern as the Druid and ascend into the Oracle or Shaman. 

• Construct a temple in the new Path of Exile 2: Fate of the Vaal League and challenge both the Royal Architect and a new Pinnacle Boss: Atziri

• Reworks and balance overhaul, including in-game performance optimisation and toned down Delirium fog.

• Over 30 new Support Gems, including multiple Lineage Supports, and an expanded passive tree with over 250 passive skills. 

Here is an overview of the new Druid class via Grinding Gear Games:

With his homeland destroyed by the King in the Mists, the Druid shed the last fragments of his humanity, wandering around the forests of Ogham. Now reawakened, he seeks what remains of his past and is embarking on a journey to find his lost wife and regain his humanity. The Druid wields a new type of weapon, the Talisman, which calls upon the power of Draiocht to shapeshift into an animal. Each Talisman grants access to a chosen form, allowing the Druid to shapeshift into something far more lethal:

 

• Wolf: Channel lunar energy into a relentless assault, augmenting your attacks with cold damage to freeze your enemies. As a true alpha, the wolf form is able to summon a pack of minions to fight alongside it. 

• Bear: Raw devastation personified, build up Rage to crush enemies, with each roar amplifying its destructive capacity.

• Wyvern: Soar above the battlefield and feed upon freshly slain foes to empower its abilities. It is also able to unleash lightning, fire, and sweeping aerial destruction upon its foes. 

 

In human form, the Druid commands earth and storm – volcanoes erupt beneath his enemies, roots bind them in place, and thunder tears through the ranks. Take control of the new Spell Totem skill, which creates a totem to automatically cast any chosen spell for a time. Creating a totem requires endurance or power charges, which you can generate by consuming rage as a Bear or by eating corpses as a Wyvern.
