PoE2 Amazon Class Revealed: First Impression
Time: 2025-03-29 by mmojugg Game: Path of Exile 2 Guide Tags: 0.2.0 Class Preview
Yesterday, March 27, 2025, Grinding Gear Games pulled back the curtain on Path of Exile 2's Dawn of the Hunt league (Patch 0.2.0), set to launch on April 4. For those of us who've been riding the PoE train for years, Amazon—one of the Huntress's two ascendancies—steps into the spotlight. MMOJUGG is hyped to break down what this new class is packing—let's dig into the juicy bits from the reveal!
The Amazon: Azmeri Elite with a Twist
The Amazon rolls in as an elite Azmeri guard, wielding spears with elemental flair. She's not here to flip the script entirely, but her kit blends solid power with some scaling hooks that could shine in the right hands. With 100+ new uniques dropping in Dawn of the Hunt, this ascendancy might just carve out a meta spot—or dominate—once builders get to work. Here's the lowdown on her standout notables.
Key Notables: The Full Breakdown
The reveal spotlighted Amazon's big nodes—some reliable, others dangling juicy potential:
Stalking Panther (2-pointer): Doubles evasion rating from helmets, gloves, and boots. A slam dunk for evasion stackers—slap on an ES-focused unique body armor like Ghost Shroud, and you're golden with no trade-off. Hybrid ES/evasion fans, this one's got your name on it.
Mystic Harvest (2-pointer): Life leech from elemental and physical damage. Attack builds only for now—spells won't tap in unless 0.2.0 shakes up leech mechanics (Blood Mage notwithstanding). Leech isn't top-tier yet, but a patch buff could wake it up.
Azmeri Brew (2-pointer): Life flasks recover mana, and mana flasks recover life. Dual-purpose flasks that double your sustain game could be a clutch pick for early league grinds or boss fights when gear's thin.
Elemental Infusion + Infused Avatar (4-pointer): Burns power, frenzy, or endurance charges to infuse your weapon with elemental damage. Numbers are still MIA, but charge generation's already in the game—dual infusions could juice multi-attack setups. If the scaling's beefy, this might slap.
Predatory Instinct + In For the Kill (4-pointer): Opens weaknesses on rares and uniques (40–50% of their health bar), netting 20–25% more damage overall. Plus, you get 20% movement speed and 40% skill speed when they're nearby—mapping turns silky, and bosses feel snappier. Skill speed's caster-friendly, too!
Critical Strike + Penetrate (4-pointer): Excess accuracy over 100% converts to crit chance (25% rate), and weapon accuracy adds flat phys damage (25% of the roll). A 600 accuracy weapon dishes 150 phys—local only, not global. Accuracy stacking could go wild with a high-roll unique spear or bow.
Early Take: Meta Contender or Solid Staple?
Amazon's vibe screams reliable power with a few tricks up her sleeve. Predatory Instinct/In For the Kill is a mapping monster—speed and damage buffs that'll shred packs and bosses alike. Elemental Infusion teases big potential if the numbers hit right, and Critical Strike/Penetrate plants a flag for accuracy stacking—drop a fat accuracy unique in Dawn of the Hunt, and it might just pop off. Stalking Panther and Azmeri Brew are steady stat plays, while Mystic Harvest's waiting for leech to get some love.
This isn't a quirky mechanics sandbox—it's a damage-and-speed engine with scaling potential. Maybe not hipster bait, but it's got the bones to be a league workhorse once the patch drops and builders dig in. Those 100+ unique and 0.2.0 notes will tell the real tale—expect the meta to shift fast.
What's Cooking Next?
No fresh out builds yet—numbers and patch specifics are still under lock and key. But the Amazon's serving up plenty to tinker with: evasion hybrids, charge-fueled elemental spikes, or accuracy-crit beasts. With Dawn of the Hunt's loot flood incoming, it's a theorycrafter's dream. Builders will crack this open post-launch—keep your eyes peeled for the heavy hitters to emerge.
