Amazon takes the lead at level 96 with heygyus#0416, its versatility shining with four spots in the top 10.  

Smith of Kitava, Warbringer, and Deadeye also hit level 96, showing a tight race at the top.  

Titan at rank 7 remains a steady contender, proving its durability in Standard's trade environment.

Hardcore mode tests survival skills. Here are the top 10 players:

Deadeye holds the lead at level 94 with Ben_#4007, its precision thriving in Hardcore.  

Smith of Kitava takes four spots, but a death at rank 10—rest in peace to the dead—highlights the mode's risks.  

Lich secures three spots, its durability making it a reliable Hardcore choice.

SSF players rely on self-found gear. Here are the top 5:

Ritualist and Smith of Kitava tie for the lead at level 96, dominating SSF with their self-sustaining builds.  

Amazon at rank 4 climbs to level 94, showing its potential in a no-trade environment.  

Titan at rank 3 remains a tanky staple for solo players.

HC SSF combines the toughest challenges. Here are the top 5:

Deadeye and Smith of Kitava tie for the lead at level 93, balancing precision and durability in HC SSF.  

Witchhunter at rank 3 drops to level 92 but remains a strong contender.  

Titan at rank 4 emerges as a new tanky option in this brutal mode.

Day 6 of the Dawn of the Hunt league has been overshadowed by a wave of negative sentiment, as Path of Exile 2's Steam reviews have been review-bombed, dropping to a “Mostly Negative” rating with 11,099 recent reviews. Players have expressed frustration over the game's difficulty, bugs, and perceived lack of polish, with some on Reddit calling the early game “unplayable” for casual players. However, GGG has responded swiftly with patch 0.2.0e, set to deploy tomorrow, April 11, at 10:00 AM NZ time (6:00 AM GMT+8). This update builds on recent changes, focusing on monster speed, boss adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements.  

GGG is tackling monster swarms by adjusting humanoid enemies like Cultists and Faridun to stop relentless pursuit, removing Haste Auras from fast monsters, and tweaking specific mobs across Acts 1-3—like reducing Hungering Stalkers' life in Act 1 and swapping Boulder Ants in Act 2. Bosses like Viper Napuatzi and Uxmal see nerfs for clearer mechanics, while minion resurrection timers are smarter to avoid endless resets. Player balance tweaks include buffs to Rally Support for all melee attacks and a fix for Ritualist's Blood Boils with Herald of Blood. Crafting gets a boost with runes now applying to wands and staves, and Renly's shop in Burning Village adds a blank rune for early-game flexibility. A major charm system overhaul is teased for after the weekend, promising more slots via belt implicits and stronger effects to make charms build-defining. Stash affinities and Atlas bookmarks are also on the horizon. Despite the review bombing, some players on X remain optimistic, with @ExileJoe posting, “GGG's patch 0.2.0e looks promising—monster speed fixes might finally make Act 1 bearable!” The ladders show top players thriving, with Amazon and Deadeye leading across modes.

That's all for the Day 6 ladder update for the Dawn of the Hunt league in Path of Exile 2. The meta is heating up, with Amazon leading Standard, Deadeye dominating Hardcore and HC SSF, and Smith of Kitava excelling in SSF. GGG's patch 0.2.0e aims to address player concerns, with more on the way.
