How To Choose The Best Builds For Different Classes For Path Of Exile 2 Rookie Players?

If you are a beginner in Path of Exile 2 and have not played other ARPGs with similar gameplay. You may be overwhelmed by the various options when you first enter the game, but don’t worry, the following article will help you understand the game better.

The first operation you play this game must be to choose a class, and then choose the corresponding Skill and Support Gems to strengthen the character’s various values. 

But to have an outstanding build, in addition to setting the right skill stats, you also need to prepare some powerful equipment to unleash the full potential of your character. But it doesn’t matter if you only have some common items in your inventory. By using POE 2 Exalted Orbs correctly, you can optimize your equipment by adding random affixes to your equipment, achieving the same goal in different ways.

But remember, a good build is not suitable for every class. To fully utilize the advantages of your class, it is best to choose the best build for it! 

Warrior

Because Warrior’s armor is invalid in the current patch of PoE 2, and he mainly fights at close range and lacks the mobility of Monk. Therefore, Warrior is not popular among players. But in fact, as long as there are appropriate builds, it will also exert a strong explosive power.

I recommend that you use builds such as Brain Rattler Mace, Leap Slam, Boneshatter, Infernal Cry and Herald of Ash. This combination will make Warrior’s attack power reach the strongest state.

Of course, using Leap Slam while using Brain Rattler Mace and shield to engage enemies in close combat is effective for the early game. Besides, Infernal Cry greatly boosts attack power and deals with additional fire damage. This makes it work well with passives like Herald of Ash and Burning Strikes.

Moreover, using strength heavily in a tank setup, and then choose Giant’s Blood so that you can wield a two-handed weapon with only one hand. 

In Warrior, Titan ascendancy is the best fit. Because if you choose Titan Warrior, your strength will be increased, all the small passives will be enhanced, and this build can transition to a Hammer of Gods-focused build and then continue to perform excellently.

Ranger

Some players will prefer Ranger over Warrior. It is a ranged attack and tends to be less likely to be damaged by enemies at close range. But if you want to be a little safer, you can use those gears that are specialized for dodging and bows with strong Physical damage modifiers. Not only that, Acrobatics Notable will maximize agility and mobility.

Here, we recommend you to use such a combination of Advanced Dualstring Bow, Lightning Arrow, Lightning Rod, Herald of Thunder, and Orb of Storms. Among them, we need to pay attention to the use of Lightning Arrow and Lightning Rod skills.

First, put down some Lightning Rods, and then release Lightning Arrow. It is worth mentioning that the damage will be chained and accumulated according to the number of Lightning Rods. Next, you can use Herald of Thunder and Orb of Storms to maximize their role. Herald of Thunder will enhance the damage, and Orb of Storms will be the final blow to knock down the big boss.

There is no doubt that the most suitable build for this is Deadeye Ranger, because choosing this class will get extra Point Blank. And you will get a passive gain Tailwind. This will increase your various speeds, such as your movement speed and fire speed. This way you can quickly clear the field in a short period of time and collect a large amount of POE2 Currency!

Witch

Witch is also a good choice for you, which can use minions to bear damage. The recommended builds here include Rattling Sceptre, Raging Spirits, Flame Wall, Skeletal Arsonist, and Summon Infernal Hound.

First, you have access to basic minions and Chaos skills like Contagion and Essence Drain. Then when you defeat King in the Mists, you get your first Soul Gem and can unlock Raging Spirits skill.

Of course, the most noteworthy thing about this build is its fire damage skill. When you use Flame Wall skill, a group of Raging Spirits will be summoned, and when they pass through Flame Wall, they will increase the damage. Skeletal Arsonists’ projectiles will also increase the damage of Flame Wall.

Infernalist Witch is the most recommended choice among Witches. It not only enhances fire builds, but also provides powerful skills like Infernal Hound. The hound will enhance the damage of Flame Wall and automatically hunt down enemies, absorbing your damage.

If you want to make this Witch more powerful, you need to select as many strength enhancement options as possible and equip a shield in your off-hand.

Monk

When entering extremely powerful and terrifying places, Monk is a good choice. Monk attacks quickly, and many times the enemy is defeated before it can attack. In addition, monks use Evasion more and Energy Shields with powerful defense.

Here we recommend you to use builds such as Slicing Quarterstaff, Ice Strike, Tempest Bell, Herald of Ice, and Elemental Invocation. In order to avoid being hit harder, you can use ranged attack skills such as Glacial Cascade at first until you can unlock Ice Strike.

A little tip is that when using Ice Strike with Tempest Bell, your attack power will be greatly increased so that you can defeat countless enemies more easily, and when using it with Herald of Ice, its damage range will be wider.

Also, one important thing is that Polcirkeln and Sapphire Rings will release the maximum potential of builds, and you need to get them as soon as possible.

Surprisingly, Invoker Ascendancy has the best effect, it gains the most in elemental attacks. Not only did you get many buffs, but you also got Unbound Avatar. Combining this ability with Elemental Invocation and Ball Lightning and unleashing it on Tempest Bell will produce amazing results.

Sorceress

If you want to choose Sorceress, Lifesprig, Spark, Orb of Storms, Mana Tempest, and Archmage are the best combination. Although your defense is not high, you will be protected by Energy Shield with powerful defense. Stacking it with Mind over Matter and Elritch Battery will have unexpected results.

Spark is a great AoE skill that can easily deal a lot of damage to enemies. When you use it with skills such as Flame Wall, the damage to enemies will be enhanced, and even bosses can be defeated.

But the maximum power of this build can only be realized when you unlock Archmage and Mana Tempest. In addition, if you have a large mana pool, it will also greatly increase the damage to enemies.

For Ascendancy, Stormweaver is the right choice for you. Grabbing Constant Gale will provide a support position for Spark skill, and Strike Twice will increase the power of the shock. I have to say that these two passive skills that provide free damage are really great.

Mercenary

Finally, you must try Mercenary class. It is a real Jack of all Trades. Whether you want to use spark or want to use minions, it can make these wishes come true. For it, I also recommend builds for everyone, including Pillar of the Caged God, Tempest Flurry, Charged Staff, Herald of Thunder, and Herald of Ice.

The key to the power of these builds lies in its attributes, and the attribute stacking ability brings strong support to it. Among them, we need to pay attention to Pillar of the Caged God, which skill can expand your three main attributes, and its importance to the entire builds cannot be underestimated.

Furthermore, Pairing Tempest Flurry with Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder will have an unexpected effect, continuously killing everything that stands in your way.

If you want to have stronger defense, you need to get more strength nodes. This will make this build even more powerful, and using a lot of energy shields at the same time will greatly improve your defense. If you choose Gemling Legionnaire, the effect will be even better, because it will further enhance the defense of the shield through passive skills such as Enhanced Effectiveness, thus doubling the inherent stats.

In addition, you can add Charged Staff to the builds, as well as those powerful items such as Breach Rings and Ingenuity Belt. If you have enough POE 2 Currency for sale, you can even add the expensive Astramentis Stellar Amulet. If you equip them all, you will be unstoppable.

Hopefully, the information in this guide can inspire you to choose builds that can better play its power when using different classes, to have a better gaming experience during the game.
