PoE 2’s new Rogue Exile NPCs fight like players—and they’ll probably beat you

Path of Exile 2‘s deadliest combatants might not be the bosses you’re facing, but the foes that come to third-party you. With the Dawn of the Hunt update, Rogue Exiles can appear in your maps. These ruthless NPCs act just like players—dodge-rolling and shiny Uniques included.

These new NPCs have one of the most complicated AIs in PoE 2 so far, according to game director Jonathan Rogers. They have access to the same tools as the players, and fighting a Rogue Exile might be the closest to PvP in the game for now.
