It’s highly recommended that those reading this guide check out both the New Players Guide to POE, and both the War for the Atlas Guide and the 3.0 Mapping Guide, in order to understand the basics that this new guide will build on. If you’re still looking for a potential starter build in Delve League,
This fast-moving and highly flexible build offers multiple options for mapping and boss fights in Path of Exile. This combo is very niche as it uses a lesser-used skill and some specialized Uniques, so I would say this is a build for more experienced players. That said, this build can switch pretty quickly to boss
There’s been a ton of buffs and nerfs to various builds in Path of Exile. So with that in mind, we’ve got a list of some basic build guides that you can use as League Starters in Delve League. For a general idea of what kinds of changes were made, here’s a quick list of
With the introduction of Delve League, Path of Exile is getting a bunch of new changes. The biggest changes involve Zana and the Atlas of Worlds. For those that don’t know, Zana was a new Master added to POE in earlier patches that served as the introduction the both the Personal Map Device and the
Grinding Gear Games has put out a teaser for new skills and reworks coming in patch 3.4 for Path of Exile. The focus of the new update, which can be seen in full over here, is that the game is getting a new skill called “Herald of Purity”. Like other Herald skills in POE, this
This fast-moving and highly flexible build offers multiple options for mapping and boss fights in Path of Exile. Reave has great AoE clearspeed and allows you to chew threw mob packs. And this build can switch pretty quickly to boss killing mode, all while maintaining a high Life pool and good damage mitigation. A simple
GGG has released a massive new FAQ for Path of Exile 3.4, Delve League, and the new endless dungeon coming to the action RPG. There’s a lot here, so let’s dive into the darkness. The new Delve entrances will spawn in all maps beyond the first few levels, so they’re similar to Incursions in that
Totem builds are always a welcome treat in Path of Exile. The versatility and tankiness of these little buggers is super useful for new players tackling the end-game map bosses for the first time. This two-handed Anscetral Warchief build is no exception to that rule. Not only will the Totems deal out massive amounts of
Rain of Arrows, combined with a Bear Trap for pinning down bosses, is the primary version of this build, but you can run it with just about any Bow-based skill in Path of Exile with similar success. Blast Rain is a great alternative if you want that. The flexibility of this build is nuts. Even
This melee AoE build is a fair bit different from other MF builds we’ve covered. While it relies on freeze mechanics and elemental damage scaling to wipe out mob packs, it makes use of a specific Unique weapon in pairs to buff DPS enough to take on bosses as well. The Scion class is pretty
This Path of Exile build is both highly flexible and cheap, allowing it to function as a decent League starter, and a viable end-game DPS setup. Although the ES-based defensive setup combined with the Mind Over Matter passive can sometimes be tedious or annoying to new players, it’s not too complex as to be impenetrable.
This build is actually very similar to other Totem builds in Path of Exile. Just run around, keep dropping Totems, and keep your buff Flasks up. It’s extremely potent for DPS, especially when you get the optimal gear later in the game. This monster fires out dozens of arrows with Barrage, all of which stack
Traps and Mines are one of the more under-utilized build categories in Path of Exile, but with 3.3 and the Incursion League, these mechanics underwent a major revamp that made them much more enjoyable and viable. Check out some of our Incursion League coverage to learn more about the modified trap mechanics in POE. The
Magic-Find is a standard build in action RPGs like Path of Exile, so it tends to be a very popular build in every Challenge League. The amount of Currency and Rare/Unique items which can be gained from a dedicated MF character is well-worth the investment. However, I would never run this as a League starter
This build is all about simplicity in every aspect. There are some basic flask management skills, and gear requirements that you need, but that’s it. If you’ve leveled a melee character to end-game before, you’re golden with this build. And even if you’re brand new, you can run this build easily with minimal time investment.
Blade Vortex is a bit of a niche skill with its limited range. But luckily, it’s still really strong in Path of Exile 3.3 thanks to Crit and Elemental Damage scaling. The build also relies on reliable crits for shocks and freezes to slow down incoming DPS. The mechanics are also really simple, just stay
Arc has always been a strong build in Path of Exile, and it’s even better in patch 3.3, with some interesting buffs to various Totem and Aura mechanics. This build can receive major DPS buffs when using the best gear, but that’s pretty expensive, luckily it’s fairly flexible, so it’s possible to run this build
This guide assumes a base level understanding of loot and gameplay mechanics in Path of Exile. Refer to our new player guide to POE and our basic end-game mapping guide for more details on those systems if you need them. A lot of Path of Exile players enjoy the game itself, but tend to hate
Another day, another POE build for Path of Exile 3.3, this time it’s all about a build so good that it can even be run as a Solo Self-Found (SSF) build. Say hello to Dual Vaal Reave. This is a fast-moving, very high clearspeed build that wants to keep Vaal Reave up as much as
Path of Exile is one of those games that defines a genre. As a free-to-play action RPG, it’s the best example of that genre in modern times. Since its initial release, we’ve seen updates upon updates that have given the game a transcendent and evolutionary feel that adds to its general mystique and ultimate allure.
Build Pros Scales well into the end-game Very easy to manage due to simplicity of mechanics Great league starter with budget gear for lower content Build Cons Early game is a bit slow Not very Budget Friendly at end-game with optimal gear Clear speed isn’t the best, so Incursions can be annoying Passive Tree(s) Recommended
This guide builds on a basic understanding of gameplay and league mechanics in Path of Exile. It’s highly recommended to check out both the 3.0 Beginner’s Guide, and the patch 3.2 guide. There’s also a guide to end-game Mapping if you need it. This guide skips over a bunch of the basics and focuses entirely
The 3.3.0 Path of Exile patch, and the associated Incursion League, come out tomorrow. So that means it’s time to start reading through the patch notes. Be warned, these are super long and detailed, mostly because of the dozens of changes to individual skills and interactions in POE’s 3.3 patch. The notes also include a
Introduction There’s a simple reason for why this build exists, ease of use. Sunder-based builds have typically always been strong for newer players, and with the changes to Ascendancy in 3.2, and the upcoming skill revamps in 3.3, Sunder and Earthquake are shaping up to be very popular. The easy-to-obtain gear choices can carry players
