that the community thought was the worst. He finished the March 2 speedrun forty minutes before the second one did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Warrior has been considered as the undisputed worst class in Path of Exile 2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/path-of-exile-2\/classes-best\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">PCGamesN <\/a>as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/games\/action-rpg\/path-of-exile-2-classes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">GamesRadar<\/a> ranked it as the worst in their respective tier lists, but Angormus had other ideas. He used the class and has dominated the first two any% speedrun of Path of Exile 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any% speedruns are all about getting to the end the fastest. This means that the player must be skilled enough to abuse the game\u2019s mechanics which is what Angormus did in the speedrun. Warriors have the ability Rolling Slam which they are able to cancel into Boneshatter. The reason Warriors are canceling this ability is because the second slam has a long animation compared to Boneshatter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warriors also have access to two abilities that can be used as gap closers: Shield Charge and Leap Slam. Players can use these abilities to traverse the terrain quickly and sometimes even jump to a higher platform that would otherwise require the player to use the stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Is this D\u00e9j\u00e0 vu?

According to the casters, the game\u2019s final boss could have been slayed faster if Angormus didn\u2019t miss a Perfect Striker which would skip a phase and make the run even cleaner. In the second run, which happened on March 9, Angormus was able to cut his time by 2 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Path of Exile 2 was released in Early Access on December 7, 2024.
