Path of Exile

Path of Exile is a pretty awesome game, especially considering that it's free to play.

I started the game with a Duelist character, which is a melee class. The character introduced himself as having been exiled for killing a nobleman that was insulting him, so he as defending his honor. Sounded nice enough, and the class played nicely enough.

At one point I acquired a skill that belonged to the Witch class though, a fireball spell. Suddenly I had range and when it hit it exploded and damaged nearby enemies as well! It was great! And even later on I found a spell for raising zombie minions, also belonging to the Witch class, and it is at this point that I asked "Why am I playing a duelist again?"

So I deleted the Duelist (I didn't have to, but I like to only have 1 character most of the time) and rolled a Witch, went quickly through the zones I'd already cleared before and finished the first major zone of the game.

While I enjoy leveling the Witch, and following the story, I'm starting to find the game grindy in the sense that it's just the same thing over and over. Enter zone, kill everything, find exit. Since it's free I will continue playing if I feel like it though.
