Path of Exile 2 - List of All Skills

This is an overview of all the skills in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2). View a list of skills and skill types, and learn how to acquire them!

Patch 0.3.0 Changes
・The base damage scaling of all player spell and secondary damage skills has been tweaked to scale better in the late game. Generally speaking, spells that do not have damage number changes called out below will have near-identical base damage at low levels, roughly 5% more damage at gem level 20, and roughly 20% more damage at gem level 30.
・The mana cost growth of all skills has been rebalanced. Generally speaking, skills will have similar mana costs at low gem levels, potentially slightly higher mana costs at some intermediate gem levels, and lower mana costs (sometimes dramatically lower) at gem levels higher than 20.
・The movement speed penalty inflicted by skills that can be used while moving now begins to fall off slightly more quickly while using the skill.
・Spectres and Tamed Beasts now deal 25% more Damage at all Gem levels.
・Instant Skills such as Unbound Avatar are now usable while on the Rhoa Mount.
・Mark Skills are no longer Spells.
・Reservation Skills that had reduced Reservation with Quality now have increased Reservation Efficiency with Quality instead.
