Why losing experience on death in Path of Exile 2 is Beneficial

You can write an essay about it but there's no upsides to experience loss on death, all it does is encourage safe play and risk avoidance in a game that's built around juicing up maps and content for difficulty.

It's a relic from a bygone era, other games have moved on, why is Path of Exile still stuck in the past?

Indeed the experience loss doesn't matter at all if you have the right class! Playing with Archmage and Ranger you can kill any boss in 2 sec being in 87 level while other classes being in 94 melt the mouse for about 1 min to realize that their death comes sooner or later. So guys, don't complain about xp loss. All it matters is to pick the most strong classes and you are fine you dont need to level up above level 90.

And of course im joking... Skill/Class balance issue!
