Passive tree

The passive tree in Path of Exile 2 is the giant web of upgrades every character spends points in as they level — it looks terrifying and is the main reason people bounce off this game.

Example: zoom out and it looks like a subway map for a city you’ve never visited. The secret: your build guide gives you the route, and you take one stop per level. Nobody reads the whole map.
