Dawn of the Hunt hasn't been the smoothest update for Path of Exile 2. Whether it's the nerf-a-geddon that hit just about every build in the game, or its newfound grindiness as you butt your head against boss after boss, where previously you would've sailed through without too much difficulty. Damage is lower, enemies are tankier, and you'll definitely feel the escalation as you move from area to area, especially early on.
Grinding Gear Games obviously wants to make Path of Exile 2 harder—a game where every decision is meaningful, but that difficulty has proved excessive for a big chunk of the playerbase. Honestly, from my perspective? It goes too far.
