Path of Exile 2 Mechanics: Charges

Path of Exile 2's early access will launch on November 15th! In this new collection of videos, I'm aiming to highlight the mechanical changes between Path of Exile and its sequel so that you're prepared to go in head-first on launch day! This episode covers Endurance, Frenzy and Power Charges.

Well that's a interesting way enforcing player to use more than one active attack/spell skill in a build.
That being said, removing buff from charge kinda feel weird since those charge is like unique part of POE

[JohnWhitneyTheFourth]

Charge video huh? Where's the shield charge information? 🤔

[AndThenShwarmaAfter]

i love when you break down po"er chawgees

[WreckTheSphere]

Legendary series mate! Cannot wait for release.

I *think* the Witch ritual that consumes a corpse is also a charge generator? If it is, it generates a power charge.
And assuming that I remember correctly, then her spenders would be her channeled bone storm skill that adds an AoE (and probably increases damage, too) as payoff, as well as her zombie creation skill, which not only empowers the zombies she spawns with it, but also makes it so you don't need a corpse to create them.

I loved having my character look like a Christmas tree, but I think it makes more sense this way.

[Vulgaels]

Interesting, wonder if Jug will be some massive melee or slam nukes with such endurance charges

[HeiligerBiber]

I really enjoy this series! Keep it coming and thank you!

[Maddogo]

not sure how i feel on the charges changes. Well see i guess. Super hyped tho

Connor (onemanaleft) has a video talking about some of the skills he thinks will be OP in PoE 2, and a big portion of the video was related to charge skills. A lot of them have crazy scaling, like extra damage and extra proj per charge, so if there's any way to shotgun, they get out of control extremely quick.

[Alpanzai]

And yet another crushing hit to our beloved zoom zoom playstile, charges is 50% of speed in poe 1, completly removing passives from charges looks like huge slow for poe 2 if they dont compensate it somehow in other mechanics.

[MrEHD-fjbz]

TY, I hope you make a video about totems or mines/traps and how they work in POE2

[StarPhoenix]

I think i like my charges as a buff more than fuel for skills, i don't want my gameplay to force me into using many skills, some people just want to chill.

[Rafaela_S.]

That crying here, while it is still not even clear, that you need to play charges.
Most likely you need to specc into them, to get any really useful value out of them and if you use another build that does not use them, then you don't have to play with them.

[XcessX]

Just as i commented in your video about damage conversion in PoE 2 the removal of passive bonuses from charges is yet another "more" scaling avenue removed. I'm so curious to see how the endgame combat in PoE 2 turns out but I'm almost certain we wont have anything close to the exponential dps and especially attack speed scaling. All those utility and conditional combo skill mechanics for deliberate use simply don't make sense when you attack 10 times per second.

I have been abstinent from other arpgs just to blow my entire load when POE 2 comes out ! 😁

[Lutnar]

so who is gonna be in our melee cult and finally play some good melee ?

[Sinuvil]

I really do hope that this is the only generate/ spend gameplay we will have in poe2 - so many arpgs do this and it’s the single most boring game play loop there is

[MrGryphonv]

I love your page, but where are you getting all this information? Is GGG drip feeding you?

[ChessDoctorsOrigins]

TBH I am so hyped for PoE2, but Iy is starting to more and more look like I will not have a great experience seeing that I only have 1 arm. Can't use wasd, looks like there will be so much more button pushing required which i dont have fingers for lol. You might say that PoE is already a lot and I suppose ive navigated that quite well... Sure as fuck gonna try lol
