What build would you recommend?

Fast Mapper and a very good bosser with high visual clearity on a low to mid budget. Mostly a one button build with Thrashing Vines an Despair for damage scaling:

- Despair (+1 curse, -chaos res, doedre toads deal extra damage and apply max withered on bosses within seconds)

- Thrashing Vines (deal (limited) extra Damage and applies bleed for 20% more Poison Damage through Poison III support)

Can be a bit "glass cannony" but your mobility is the main defence layer: You seldom get hit as long as you keep moving. This results in a very fast paced shooter like gameplay which seems a bit chaotic at times but you get used to it.

You can use Repulsion as one of the curses to get better clear and survivability but i find the skill annyoing af. You also can run Eternal Rage per gem for a more budget friendly Version with a +spirit amulet but you have to get rid of Withering Presence and Ghost Dance. The build has also more damage potential with katla or kolr gloves and +spirit on the Absent Amulet to run an extra curse...

Was interested in league starting ed contagion lich. I’m newish to poe2 when it comes to late endgame and 0.55 was going to be my first patch at really drilling down and learning more complex atlas farms, trade, crafting, etc.

The vibe I’m getting is that ED contagion/flame blast on gemling has more late game potential than ed contagion on lich? Is that vibe accurate? What are the major differences between the two?

Hi y’all. I am a dad but i still wanna throw myself in the game whenever i can. I played oracle grimpillar and then respec into spark totem shaman (followed Palestron), and had a blast. This league i wanna try out something else.

Can anyone recommend me a league starter that can breeze me through the campaign and early endgame for currency farming? Later i would like to respec into a one button end game build.

I'm going to play SSF in the reset,
Wondering which guide/build for Spiritwalker (kinda a zero-to-hero min-max) should I use?
Is the Maxroll guide by Zizaran the best one out there?

What are the main pros and cons for the two ascendancies for twisters? Is the skill rotation more or less the same? Thanks!

Title. I just recently picked up PoE 2 again (only really played 0.1) and speeded through my 0.5 challenges with a slam Titan. For 0.5.5 I'm interested in playing Lightning Spear, preferably from the campaign into deep endgame.

I'm still out of the loop on which content creators are good for builds and don't want to bait myself into starting a bad build.

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

I‘ve read so much about varashta and i wanna zero to hero it in 0.5.5.

But what build guide to follow? Lily‘s? P4wnyhof? Guythatdies? Phazeplays?

Help pls!

So I did not get to play in 0.5 and the spirit walker minion setup seems cool.

However is there a good setup to level as before I swap into full minion stuff. Im assuming grenades might be an option but never actually played them so dont know what the leveling is.

I’ve never tried a COC build at all. I’m kinda torn on what COC to play. I was going to do a ED/contagion build until I could switch over to a COC. Any fun ideas?

Been hearing a lot about gemling but unsure which build to go for.

I went iceshot deadeye and glacial bolt tactician. I also went spark stormweaver but I really like the ice gameplay!

Preferably on a crossbow build but up to try something new if I like the gameplay! Not too complex and budget friendly. Thanks in advance!

Hello,

While everyone is zigging to play Gemling, Im thinking of Zagging to play a Chonk, mostly to get the Avatar of Chayula or whatever the secret ascendency node is. Like chaos. Like purple. Lfg. So to you chonk enjoyers what did you find success with in 0.5.x so far?

Since you can't use olroth resolve with CI, you lose about ~4000hp. I did attempt to do instant ward recovery with the rune that applies mana regern to ward regern. Some time ago I saw a post of a dude who actually managed to do it, but lost it in a sauce

Playing on a base ps5 im tired of having such severe frame drops. I love my screen wide explosions but what build do you recommend for what a ps5 can handle? Something that is not so intensive

I'm not sure what build I want to play yet, so far what I'm looking at

Infernalist wardstack

Gemling flicker/falling thunder

Martial artist flicker/falling thunder

Not sure which flicker/falling thunder version would be best. I've played coc builds before but this new infernalist setup looks pretty sick and it's most likely going to be nerfed in 1.0. Would love any feedback/issues anyone has had with these builds

Thank you

I saw a couple people posting their PoBs but didn't see anything definitive, most 0.5 warrior guides are for ES or shield wall

I mean sure you can easily wing one (armour stack, surround tech, megablood, big bonk, maybe a morior) and am aware Alk will prob start one, just curious if there is anything out there already I missed

Not sure if it's possible in PoE 2, but would love a 0.5.5 build that scratches that PoE 1 Flicker itch.

Hey Guys,

I'm a decent martial artist looking for advices on what to look for in order to become a great OP monk.

Profile - Seifads - Path of Exile 2 - poe.ninja

• Passive Tree improvements?
• Support Gems improvements?
• Items improvements?

I currently have around 15 Divs to spend.

Also, Rend seems a bit not easy to use in a combat scenario. What am I missing?

Thanks a bunch!

New to the game as of a week ago. Very addicted. Started with a Shaman Rampage Calamity build. Now onto spirit walker monkey. Been following this build https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/spirit-walker-beast-master?weaponSet=set1&ws-ngf5-f7d82102-7e77-4a44-ad24-33b67e8ae7bf=activeVariantId%2C0566f05c-c569-41c4-88c1-b1ed5f35680b#c8727af6-5bd8-407a-81d9-ad588f0cfeab-skill-gems-7 - how can everything be ran between 2 companions and all the skeletons? I feel like reaching that much spirit isnt doable with this build. Im currently even using enfolding dawn and still dont have enough to run two different skeley skill, not including the one on my sceptre.

Also if anyone has any monkey builds they feel are more superior, super open to checking them out!

I am looking for builds to efficiently level a witch to make a crit bloodmage once i get to endgame and get the unique i need for the build i plan on playing in 0.5.5 event, ideally a crit based bloodmage already to save as much respec gold as possible but honestly any witch build to get through the campaign cleanly on day 1 (im not that fast as a player) is fine.

Anything is appreciated even the standard edc, allthough i would need a good setup for that as well

Like the title says. How is it compared to ranger?

I want to level a gemling cause it has so many build opportunities, but recently been playing grenades. And was curious on bow builds for leveling at least.

Looking for builds that can push GEs as efficiently as possible. Obviously Headhunter on any build helps a ton here, but what builds can do it without one?

Also, what is generally the best builds with headhunter for GEs to aim for after week 1? with reasonable budgets of course (no temporalis/voices/adorned)

Updated my Whirling Assault Smith of Kitava for this weekend's event. Played it through 0.4 and 0.5 and spent the last few weeks testing the revisions. Should be very solid for farming Ritual.
