Path of Exile 2 features two distinct types of passive skill points: regular level-up points and Weapon Set Points. Understanding how to effectively use Weapon Set Points is crucial for optimizing your character build.

Regular passive points, earned through leveling, can be allocated to any adjacent passive skill in your tree. Weapon Set Points, however, are specifically used to unlock passives for different weapon sets, with each point allowing you to allocate two passives per weapon set.

Key features of Weapon Set Points:

• Allow specialization in specific weapon-related skills and abilities
• Enable different builds for offensive and defensive weapon sets
• Can be used to unlock multiple passive tree branches with fewer allocations
• Obtained through side-quests and optional boss encounters, not leveling

How to use Weapon Sets:

• Press "X" (default) to manually switch between weapon sets
• Skills automatically switch to the appropriate weapon set when used
• Allocate points based on your preferred playstyle and build requirements

To maximize your Weapon Set Points:

• Thoroughly explore each Act for hidden quests and bosses
• Plan your builds around specific weapon combinations
• Consider both offensive and defensive capabilities when allocating points
