MMOEXP Path of Exile Guide: Hail Kingdom – Navigating the 0.5 Endgame
1.When Will Patch 0.5 Arrive?
Current prediction: Announcement likely the last week of April (Thursday, as usual), with patch release around May 8th.
Why? Previous patches followed a ~4–5 month cycle. Dawn of the Hunt ran April through late August (~5 months). 0.5 should follow suit.
Some sources (POE1DB) speculate a delay to early June, but May remains the most realistic bet.
1. Swords, Dualist, and New Weapons – Not Coming (Yet)
Jonathan Rogers stated: Releasing a new weapon is harder than releasing a new class.
In PoE1, every class is tied to a weapon (Monk → Quarterstaff, Sorceress → elemental staves, etc.).
New weapons (swords, flails, axes, daggers) would require their corresponding unreleased classes (Dualist, Templar, Marauder, Shadow) at the same time.
Prediction: No new weapons or classes in 0.5. Save Dualist for 1.0 launch to maximize hype.
