Path of Exile 2 Official Druid Gameplay Walkthrough | Gamescom 2023

[@Mordecaiis]

i live and breath videogames for 35 years, but i have never seen anything better animation-wise than this. i mean it looks phenomenal on ALL levels. i'm blown away right now.

[@erayisme2413]

Me too. We sure are old man😂😂

[@asatorftw]

Absolutely love the interactions between the skills and the huge amount of control we have. Blizzard go take notes.

[@ArtiicxAzreal]

why when you have this

[@bebeti9408]

The animations are so crisp and clean i feel like diablo always had that over path of exile , now you get all the depth of path of exile with beautifully looking world

[@jacksonx7251]

The synergy and automation stuff is so sick. I'm a huge Grim Dawn fan and the way the devotion skills socket onto your main skill tree abilities has quickly become my favorite feature and this game looks like it takes that skills on skills synergy and goes absolutely nuts with it. So hyped to play this next year.

[@therat1117]

POE has always unabashedly copied the best parts of other ARPGs, and they aren't slowing down in the slightest.

[@dantefromdevilmaycry9857]

@@therat1117 Nothing wrong with copying what works cuz that's progress, it's when you copy and add nothing in return that gets on peoples nerves and I hope PoE 2 prove to not be the latter

[@Zalixor]

​@@therat1117They're also innovating on top of it. Nothing wrong to borrow ideas if you add your own touch on top.

[@therat1117]

@@dantefromdevilmaycry9857 Oh yeah, don't mistake me - I think this is a good thing. Taking the best ideas out there and throwing out the annoyances and awkwardness is how you make better games.

[@a1pha_star]

@@therat1117 Funny because that’s exactly what Blizzard USED to do. Taking ideas from other games and improving or innovating it. How the mighty have fallen. lol

[@rozwelljones4976]

I'm actually blown away by the bear and the animation is just so fluid, it looks like you actually mocapd a bear. 😂 There is just so much passion in Poe, and now Poe 2 just looks fantastic. 😍

[@Aubue]

Druid in Path of Exile 2 looks amazing! The versatility and unique mechanics showcased in this walkthrough have me even more excited to dive into the game.

[@FoxieYukiHart]

No WAY! My absolute favorite class coming to POE!? I love how fluid all the animations look and that bear form is just gorgeous!!

[@saimyintmyat9373]

Can't wait for it to deal 72 dmgs only in crit 😂.

[@Thee-_-Outlier]

Yea bro druid is my fav RPG class to. And this auto form swapping based on spells not 'stance/form' swapping is perfect

[@Thee-_-Outlier]

​@@saimyintmyat9373 right, because everyone plays rpg games to min max not actually rp. That's sarcasm; in case it went over your head.

[@M.W.H.]

It puts Diablo 4 in its pocket.

[@ahmadshak9568]

Puts diablo into shame

[@windmacher]

Blizzard is finito

[@Justice56709]

Should I just not waste time on D4 and wait for poe2

[@M.W.H.]

@@Justice56709 i honestly wouldn't say that. Diablo is still a very good game, but PoE2 is shaped up to take the crown for sure.

[@malyorus362]

Currently spending my time in Last Epoch untill po2 is out, great game, way more fun than D4 in my opinion @@Justice56709

[@goldenruhl246]

looks like they are aiming for skill synergy to increase build variety rather than the 1 button builds we meta around.

[@ZephrymWOW]

Generator spender snoozefest

[@Strill_]

​@@ZephrymWOWWhat generator spender?

[@DayOfCasual]

@@Strill_ he is comparing this to d3 and d4 but he forgot there is no resource generator skills in PoE 1 or 2.

[@Jaap-Relou]

Be careful, Diablo 4 devs will take to social media to say this game is “too feature-rich” and “too high of a standard, which people aren’t allowed to grow accustomed to”. This looks insane. The amount of detail in literally everything is staggering 😮

[@Thee-_-Outlier]

That already happened with settlers of kaguur.

[@cameronblack2705]

Can you imagine a full rampage build! Where you just run through maps stomping everything!

[@blockboi9762]

this slow pace combat is more deliberate compared to poe 1 combat. animation is pretty good and gives every movement a meaningful weight behind it. boss fights are gonna be amazing.

[@savio.furtado]

This game looks amazing, cant wait to see templar, my favourite class on RPG games.

[@123reivaj]

Hopefully the next video is for the Templar! :D

[@mark.fergus]

Looks absolutely incredible! I see a lot of inspiration taken from Dota here... Lone Druid with his bear.... Ursa, a bear who builds fury stacks when attacking... Primal Beast, with almost identical skill as rampage... Lycan, with summoned wolves & a howl ability that debuffs enemies... of course a lot of skills and ideas crossover many games, so I'm sure they're not unique to Dota either. Overall PoE2 looks incredible and the syngergy and mechanics in the skills looks amazing, a lot of attention to detail and huge depth, really excited for this.

[@therat1117]

The animation, the graphical fidelity, the concept... sweet mother of gods. I would say shut up and take my money, but these absolute madlads don't even want it!

[@r.lum.r]

This is what hits me too. HOW on earth is this free to play, at **this** level of fidelity and thoughtfulness in the sunergy? And 12 classes is insane. That sounds like at least 300 hours right there, if you wanna try everything, on the low end. I’m legit blown away by that. So stoked.

[@saimyintmyat9373]

​@@r.lum.r wait what ?? FREE TO DOWNWARD ?

[@therat1117]

@@saimyintmyat9373 Yep, Path of Exile is and always has been a free to play game. I have not paid a single dollar for it in five years of playing.

[@Despond]

Nothing to be proud of though. Even a token $15 for 5 years of gaming would be better than nothing.@@therat1117

[@GenoKiller7]

its nice to see how smooth the casting and bear combat looks

[@zshenb]

Look at the passive tree. So beautiful.

[@JoseSprays]

Beautiful looking game and its free to play. 😤

[@niklas3595]

I like how they create all these neat little minigames around the skills.

[@swinglow6580]

Lets go!!! This is how druid is done!!

[@infernas]

Diablo 4 has now become the "we have a _____ at home" meme.

[@MananaMan]

man the way the ground looks and the soundtrack in the background makes me really excited for this game, let alone the gameplay itself

[@Jakeyboii91]

That rampage volcano combo is incredible.

[@r.lum.r]

Wait… 12 classes??? 😮 Also the cute lil bear roll at the end made me laugh lol I’m so down for this. This is my favorite class type. Rampaging as a bear looks so satisfying. This looks awesome

[@michaeljhale23]

All 12 classes have 3 accendancies as well. (Sub classes.) So it's actually 36. The accendancies drastically change your class.

[@14Blackspirit]

Everything I wanted D4 druid to be.

[@VictusPrime]

Watching this is making me realise how far Blizzard have fallen as developers. The druid archetype here looks way more interesting and overall more fun to play than the druid in D4.

[@christiaantheron3318]

I don't know what otherworldly forces are involved with this game's development but it's beyond revolutionary. Just take my money, give me the game, take my money. NOW

[@helloworld-dh6hq]

D4 could neverrrrr

[@samogx86]

This looks wonderful, the blood when he transforms is amazing.

[@rossdavis428]

The level of refinement that PoE2 is currently showcasing easily surpasses Diablo 4's ENTIRE game-play design, and PoE2 isn't even done showcasing it's full game-play yet~

[@nedyzhe]

From what i have heared D4 doesn't even need to be surpassesed anymore

[@rossdavis428]

@@nedyzhe I agree; D3's bad reputation defeated D4 before it even released. D4 is only currently alive because of the Diablo franchise brand name~

[@d3lus10n]

i like they "borrowed" the "this skill does an attack and also turns you into X form" from d4 instead of "this button turns you to X form for a duration" from d2 or the incredibly weird "turn to X form for a duration which is dictated by rage which also ticks down on it's own" from LE. superb fluidity of combat is like the only plus point d4 has and swapping forms through skills that also do other things really nailed the master shapeshifter feel. forms also being considered their own weapon set regarding skill tree is just cherry on top. looks too awesome to not be hyped about.

[@DayOfCasual]

They had this before D4 was even revealed in previous exilecon showcase.

[@qwicxs]

The bear animations are light years ahead of Diablo 4

[@WillCap4food]

I think this game will put the final name in D4s coffin.

[@Art0r1a]

Now if there will be cosmetics to replace the bear shape - linto ike Lion or Gorilla - this'll be my first class to play for sure.

[@SevensBlade]

You fail to realize there are six other forms. So it’s likely that one of these is another Druid animal

[@DayOfCasual]

@@SevensBlade where is that info coming from? the hat?

[@rifsaytzev]

The animation is wonderful

[@kunwarkannamwar9581]

The automatic passive reallocation is neat. I just hope I get to play this amazing game soon

[@Nomans_Nomen]

No sooner than 2025 at the earliest… 😢

[@RaptorJesus.]

do you stay in bear form until you use a human skill? one thing that really annoyed me in D4 was the need for a legendary item just to stay in bear/wolf form. (without using a bear attack every few seconds.)

[@nilocblue]

My God, they're making the best ARPG, they really are.

[@wDeathw]

He needs to turn into Werewolf for agility

[@karsonkammerzell6955]

I do find it interesting that PoE went with more of a shapeshift into animal form and Diablo went the were-form route (it makes sense for Diablo considering the Druid class history). Still a bit sad no one thought to go more plant based though. Give me nature magic that scales off thorns and uses walls of briars and stuff! Also the PoE vs Diablo thing is just tiring, lol. They're both ARPGs, they're both different, play which one you like, or play both. They aren't exclusive. I like both, lol.

[@warwolf8741]

Im looking forward of trying this game. The Mercenary seems fun to play as.

[@ARAFELI]

playing as a druid now in bg3 and im loving every moment cant wait to try it in poe2

[@atahanselekoglu_]

my exact thoughts and before bg3 was WoW druid

[@eamk887]

I'm definitely going to try it out, but I can't imagine myself getting that much into it. I managed to play PoE for about 60 hours before I completely lost interest in it.

[@SevensBlade]

Gotta have that hunger for it or it just won’t taste good

[@blueweed]

[@PROPHYZ]

looks stunning, great design. That's how you make a druid.

[@Ro3im3o]

I would prefer if you stayed in bear form while dodging, but instead of roll make it quick step :)?

This will take-over the genre.

[@ShoNuffTheShoGun1]

You actually get to be a bear. It's beautiful.

[@ldeni]

wait what , u can have a different tree as a human and as a bear ? , that's sick

[@thamegink]

It looks great and better than DIV :)

[@Thee-_-Outlier]

Bear smash!

[@Nethercide]

12 character classes...this game already blows diablo out of the water

[@Eclipseternally]

I can't wait to see what other forms the druid has.

[@Eclipseternally]

Make it clear I'm talking about druid transformations.

[@WhirlwindHeatAndFlash]

looks cool but the skill automation makes me worry the game will devolve into a 1 button masher again rather than the vision of actually using multiple skills that they voiced during exile con.

[@tigercloud6945]

Very vet promising. I'll be playing this. Ty all involved from my wife and i.

[@MertBert]

It's like all the great Diablo designers left Blizzard and worked on this instead. Great work!

[@gotaplanstan]

​@@gamerd8709yeah fr. The only thing in this video that's new is that rampage skill. Every single other skill they showed we've already seen in D2 and D4

I don't get this - you can play this when it comes out instead of wishing Blizzard paid any attention.

[@MrWhitearchon]

WOW PoE 2 looks amazing
