Should I buy Path of Exile 2?

Played the first one for about 200 hours. Enjoyed it. Never got into the end game. The second one looks amazing. Played for an hour on my nephews account. Enjoyed what I played of it. I know it’s early access so it’s essentially a beta for 6 to 12 months. Should I buy it now or wait til full release?

If you like it, sure. I found it annoying, bought it, and got a refund. I'll wait for the full release.

I like more straightforward ARPGs, I dislike the dodge mechanic they put into this, and the fact that the game wants you to dance with the bosses for a bunch of seconds.

And I also find the whole "here's a skill tree so huge that you'll have no idea what to do, and only 2 builds for your class actually work" laughable. That was the first thing I was expecting for them to change in 2, that stupid skill tree, to make it approachable without searching guides, but no, they made it even worse.
