As the patch 0.1.1 didn’t nerf Spark, Archmage or Energy Shield, I had to try the most meta build. Anddddd yes, it’s pretty good.

RESULTS
SC
Skeletal Sniper Minions Detonate Dead
I didn’t level this build, I simply switch a few gems from my levelled up Skeletal Arsonists Raging Spirits Minions Detonate Dead Infernalist so I could try different minions which would offer, hopefully, less visual clutter.
Storm Mage Minions Detonate Dead
I didn’t level this build, I simply switch a few gems from my levelled up Skeletal Arsonists Raging Spirits Minions Detonate Dead Infernalist so I could try different minions which would offer, hopefully, less visual clutter.
Skeletal Arsonist Raging Spirits Minions Detonate Dead
I have never been a fan of minion build in POE 1, mostly because of the micromanagement of Spectres which was almost mandatory. As I like to play brands and totems, I should like minions so I wanted to give it a try in POE 2. So I chose this most meta league starter build.
Corrupting Cry Earthshatter Totems
To be honest, I wasn’t excited with shouting a warcry and use totems again but my already levelled up Warbringer shared so much gear, tree and gems with this build that I had to give it a try.
Explosive Shot Shockburst Rounds
My second POE 2 build and I was excited to try the crossbows and the WASD gameplay. I followed this build from Palsteron and it was a blast!
Shockwave Totems Earthquake
After so many years of waiting, Path Of Exile 2 is here with its Early Access. It was supposed to be hard, with a lot of boss fights, and a slow game play so I wanted to start with a big beefy boy with some totems. This is my experience…
Lightning Strike Ephemal Edge
After playing around with different starter builds, it was time to use all my currency to create an end game build to do T17 and Ubers.
Frost blades of Katabasis
Loved playing Frost Blades in the past but had never tried Frost Blades of Katabasis. This is RueToo build but I couldn’t find his actual build guide so I follow this YouTube video from Macdri.
This transfigured skill is great, almost auto target and almost ranged. It feels great to play.
Lacerate of Haemorrhage / Vaal Earthquake Bleed
I did not play this character enough for you to trust this scoring and feedback. I levelled the character to lvl 88 with Eviscerate. I wanted to try the new Lacerate and I ended up respecing after 3 levels. Not a bad build, I just didn’t like the skill.
Eviscerate Retaliation Bleed
After 2 Archmage builds, I wanted to try the revisited Gladiator, lucky block, and the new Retaliation skills so I followed Goratha Eviscerate build. I was following a few of his videos but he has now a full build guide.
Ball Lightning of Orbiting Archmage
I transformed my 3.25 Arc Archmage league starter into this Ball Lightning of Orbiting Archmage by simply changing the main skill gem and a support gem (Slower Projectile Support) and my DPS felt like it tripled.
Arc Archmage
My 3.25 league starter. Archmage was buffed in 3.24 and not nerfed in 3.25. I used to despise archmage because of the high cost of spells and when I ended up in a pool of degen, I would loose my mana and wouldn’t be able to escape. Now, you don’t need to raise your mana cost to deal damage so I wanted to give it a new try.
Wave Of Conviction Ignite
This was my league starter for the 3.24 Necropolis Soft Core league. I hadn’t played an ignite build in a while and it seems to be the strongest ignite skill for a league starter.
Dual Strike Of Ambidextry
This is the second build I butchered during the 3.24 Necropolis Soft Core league. I hadn’t played melee in a while and it looked to be one of the strongest melee skill this league alongside Boneshatter.
