Do classes matter in Path of Exile 2?

Yes, classes matter in Path of Exile 2, but differently than in other ARPGs; they determine your starting point on the shared passive tree and your permanent Ascendancy specialization, which significantly influences your build's efficiency and theme, even though all classes can use any skill gem and weapon. Your choice locks you into specific Ascendancies (like Warrior or Sorceress), which offer powerful, unique perks, making the initial class choice a crucial, long-term decision for your build's foundation, say PC Gamer and Mobalytics.
