Is there a way to change class?

[Isaxus]

Without having to restart the game, that is. I want to main templar but he's apparently 6 months away lol

[Hiroko]

Class? No
Ascendancy? (subclass) No, for now. They will probably allow it later due to overwhelming player feedback, but they haven't said they will.

[SK]

Nope. But all skills can be used on all classes.

Only reason to pick a class is because of their ascendancy, and because they have a favorable starting position on the tree. We don't know what Templar in PoE2 will have for Ascendancy power yet.

Easy, you can start new class/character by replaying the boring campaign again from scratch

[I'm cucked]

The campaign isn't boring at all.

Agree, but only until you memorize all of their lines couple replays later

Why is it necessary to play a bunch of times? Only for alts?

Most people play the newest league/season. It's like the ladder resets in Diablo 2, or the seasons in Diablo 4.

If you don't want to, you can play Standard, which is like Eternal in Diablo 4.

Each fresh start feels unique, shaped by your luck, and crafting your own items along the way adds a nice touch. If the core gameplay is fun, there’s no reason the campaign should feel boring on repeat. In the endgame, you’re essentially doing the same thing, but I’ve never felt bored by it, it’s still engaging and keeps you coming back.

League starts in poe are a big deal. It's not like a season restart in diablo. Every new league adds new unique mechanics that will only be truely available for that league and will disappear the next league (some mechanics might stay, but it's never gonna the exact same, considering the current league mechanic will feature in every single map of the game).
And I'm not talking about new skills, new items, new league specific items etc.

So most people will create at least new char for the league. Considering there are about 4 leagues per year, you might do 10+ chars per year if you're an active player, so that means 10+ times you'll rush the campaign.

After 3 or 4 years you might be at 30+ times of having seen the campaign... Imagine yourself redoing 30 times the same game.

One thing GGG should do is look at warhammer 40k inquisitor system. in this game, you can choose to not do the campaign if you have already done it, get all the benefits of doing it (except level ups) and start mapping at lv 5, since all the maps are always around your level (around +-10) you'll level up by only doing maps.

The endgame will be longer, but at least it's the endgame. With how the new atlas will work, it might be a good idea to look at a similar solution.

I might stick to Standard then lol. Hopefully it gets new content and just misses out on the temporary mechanics. I don't feel the need to stick to a game without downtime/breaks anyway

No
Obviously changing class will never happen

Changing sub-classes for now is also no, but is subject to change. Almost everyone dislikes it at the moment.
There is a financial incentive for GGG to keep it that way but I wouldstill assume they will cave eventually and revert that decision, because it's pretty stupid and everyone will dislike it no matter what

The way GGG sees it, is that if everyone wants to skip the campaign, then it's a problem with the campaign.
And if you make a game that has a skippable campaign, then you shouldn't have bothered even making one.

People don't have a problem grinding the same map thousands of times with the same tileset, so it's not a problem of the content being same-y. It's more a problem of people feel the campaign isn't rewarding and they can't play the build they want.

It's not an MMO, you won't have only 1 character for the entire game.
