Magic Find, a concept that’s been around since the early days of Diablo II, and since Path of Exile has built on that legacy of excellent action RPG fun that Blizzard created, it makes sense that many aspects and ideas from Diablo have made the leap over the POE. One of those all-important concepts is
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 Synthesis League,
Our guide for Synthesis League, including crafting tips and explanations of League mechanics, is out now. Path of Exile, everyone’s favorite ARPG, just got a whole lot more complex with the introduction of the 3.6 patch and Synthesis League. A lot of nerfs to different mechanics and with a bunch of new skill gem choices,
This particular Path of Exile build is centered around trying to make a truly monstrous melee skill, given the issues with the archetype in Betrayal League. GGG left melee in a bit of a weak state with this patch. But with the right gear investments combined with a strong passive tree, this build absolutely wrecks
This particular Path of Exile build is centered around one of the better skill choices in Betrayal League, but with a slight twist. If you’re using the suggested gear, such as Inpulsa’s Broken Heart, you’ll be scaling tons of Elemental Damage, all while being fairly tanky with lots of Life. The Elementalist Ascendancy makes for
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 looking for more updated builds for Synthesis League and Path of Exile 3.6, those are over here. We’ve published our Beginners Guide to Path of Exile Betrayal League, go check it out to learn how to take down the Immortal Syndicate. Path of Exile 3.5 and the associated Betrayal League mechanics have caused
I really like this Path of Exile build. It combines a lot of speed, Life and DPS to create quite a strong build. And even with less-than-great gear, this build can still shine thanks to a few interesting Uniques that allow it to punch above it’s weight class, even while leveling. This is one of
This deadly Raider build takes advantage of one of the new skills introduced in Delve League to craft a character that pumps out some insane damage in all circumstances. And it’s incredibly quick movement speed makes it really good at quick escapes and dodging enemy attacks. Scourge Arrow is a very powerful channeled Bow Attack introduced
This incredibly tanky and flexible build offers lots of potential for mapping and boss fights in Path of Exile. With Path of Exile Delve League, the meta has shifted slightly. You still need plenty of clear speed and DPS to deal with Delve runs, but melee skills are a little less useful due to reliance
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
Note: With 3.5 and the removal of stat sticks, this build loses a pretty big chunk of DPS, replace the Mace in the Build with a decent Dagger in your off-hand. The build is still strong though, just not as facemeltingly awesome as it once was. This fast-moving and highly flexible build offers multiple options
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
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
