Path of Exile (POE) is a free online action RPG developed by Grinding Gear Games in New Zeland.
Set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast the player has been exiled from their homeland and must fight for survival in his new home.
Players can pick from six playable character classes, which each focus on either one or two core attributes: strength, dexterity and intelligence.
Active skills are gems that grant abilities when socketed into equipment. A wide range of support gems allow the behaviour of skills to be modified.
Developers frequently host race leagues that are run as separate game worlds with their own ladders and economies.
