After league starting a miner, I wanted a great mapper with as least buttons as possible. So I revisited a classic: Death’s Oath Occultist. I hadn’t tried Vaal Caustic Arrow, I had missed the chaos explosion ASMR sound, and Death’s Oath was buffed in the last patch note.
New league! I thought single target DPS would be key to kill these mercenaries. I hadn’t played a miner in a long time, at least since the introduction of Automation Support. I wanted to try a new buffed skill. I wanted an ascendancy that could provide mercenaries some defenses. So here is my Crackling Lance of Disintegration Miner Inquisitor. Spoiler alert, he did the job but my build was not that great!
I know… I know… the most meta build of POE2 0.2 Dawn Of The Hunt. And by far! But it’s a new class, a new weapon type, a new ascendancy, new skills, so I had to try it out before it gets the triple GGG nerf. Here is my experience with Lightning Spear / Storm Lance Amazon.
POE2 0.2 Dawn Of The Hunt League Start! Warrior fail! Skill issue… Give up on day 1 and reroll Witch and it was a pretty straight forward progression with Essence Drain Contagion Lich. Here is my experience:
Mercenary is the last class I hadn’t tried. I did try crossbows but not grenades so I levelled up a Grenadiers using Gas Grenade, Explosive Grenade, Flash Grenade, Oil Grenade, well all the grenades… here is my experience… TLDR stopped short because of headaches.
As I didn’t like the Phrecia end game with the idols, I rerolled to try a new ascendancy and a skill I had never played before. Here come my experience with Ancestral Commander Volcanic Fissure of Snaking.
For this Phrecia event start, I was seduced by the prospect of explosion and ignite proliferation with a classic RF build. I played this builds many times in the past, it is one of my favourite, so a great candidate for a return to POE 1 after 3 months and a lot of POE 2.
Monk and Ice Strike sounded like one of the most beloved Class and Skill on POE 2 launch so I had to give it a try. Even if it’s not my game style, I understand the appeal, here is my experience.
I levelled a Deadeye with crossbows until lvl 89, then I wanted to try some bow skills. Here is my experience with Ice Shot and Cast on Freeze for mapping and the combo Lightning Rod, Orb of Storms and Cast On Shock Ball Lightning combo.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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!
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
