Current Patch: EARLY ACCESS 0.1.0d
Designing your character in Path of Exile 2 remains one of the most fascinating aspects of the game. With an expanded roster of character classes featuring unique abilities, the possibilities for customization are as diverse as before. The freedom to experiment with builds allows you to push creative boundaries, supported by the game’s intricate Skill and Support Gem systems. This makes Path of Exile 2 a standout title for players who thrive on complex builds and character optimization.
While Path of Exile 2 is more forgiving than its predecessor - respeccing is easier and cheaper, at least for now - building a well-optimized character is still crucial for tackling the game's notoriously challenging campaign and advanced endgame content. Missteps won’t punish you as harshly, but a carefully planned setup is a must for efficient progression and to maximize your potential in the game’s hardest encounters.
Given the sheer depth of Path of Exile 2's mechanics, no single player can master all possible item and skill synergies on their own. That’s where we come in: as a dedicated group of experienced Path of Exile 2 players, we’ve crafted comprehensive build guides to help you navigate the complexity. These guides are regularly updated to reflect the latest patches and content changes, ensuring you always have access to the best builds available.
Each guide includes a detailed overview of the build, tips for leveling, its pros and cons, Passive Skill Trees, recommended items, and optimized Skill Gem setups. Builds are also categorized into key archetypes and evaluated based on factors like budget, single-target damage, area-of-effect capabilities, clear speed, and defensive strengths.
Whether you’re a new player or a seasoned veteran, our guides aim to simplify Path of Exile 2’s complex systems and help you enjoy the journey through the game’s intricacies. We welcome feedback and suggestions, so feel free to share your thoughts in the comment sections of this article or the individual guides on our website.

[0.1.1] Snipe/Spiral Volley Bleed Witchhunter- a very strong Bow build that can deal an insane amount of damage from a single Snipe arrow, and solid clear speed from Spiral Volley boosted by quickly generated Frenzy Charges [RANGED] [ELEMENTAL] [LIFE]
Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
[0.1.1] Voltic Grenade/Shockburst Rounds Witchunter Build - a powerful Crossbow build oriented on various Lightning abilities and ailments, which allows you to effortlessly farm high Tier Maps and kill all the Bosses in the game [RANGED] [ELEMENTAL] [LIFE]
Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
[0.1.1] Flicker Strike Acolyte of Chayula Monk - a non-meta Melee build that uses one of the most iconic Path of Exile Skills - Flicker Strike. This variant was designed to utilize the full potential of Acolyte of Chayula Ascendency, gaining tons of extra Chaos Damage and dealing massive Poison Damage. The main downside issue is the current state of Flicker Strike and Charge Generation - but we expect this aspect only to get better with future patches [MELEE] [POISON] [HYBRID] Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
[0.1.1] Ice Strike Invoker - one of the most powerful (and popular) Melee builds in the game currently that revolves around dealing high Elemental Damage and triggering chaining Herald Explosions for insane clear speed. This is a casual crit variant without the attribute stacking [MELEE] [ELEMENTAL] [ENERGY SHIELD] Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
[0.1.1] Shattering Concoction Pathfinder - a very powerful build based on the Pathfinder's exclusive Cold-based Concoction skill. It lets you freeze basically any enemy in the game, and deals tons of damage, making it a particularly interesting choice for this class [ATTACK] [ELEMENTAL] [LIFE] [UNARMED]
Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
[0.1.1] Gas Arrow Pathfinder - a top tier Poison Bow build that uses Gas Arrow to quickly apply multiple Poison stacks on enemies in its radius. This will works great as a League Starter, but also allows you to farm basically any Boss in the game without extensive investments [ATTACK] [POISON] [LIFE] [BOW]
Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
[0.1.1] Explosive Shot Deadeye Build - a very strong Crossbow build that offers insane clear speed and AoE Damage from Explosive Shot and Herald Explosions. It also uses The Three Dragon Mask to apply powerful Lightning and Cold Ailments [ELEMENTAL] [RANGED] [LIFE] [ATTACK]
Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
[0.1.1] Magnetic Salvo Deadeye Build - presumably the most powerful build in the game currently. It utilizes Magnetic Salvo - a Lightning Bow Attack that fires multiple projectiles that detonate Lingering Arrows for massive damage and overlapping explosions [ELEMENTAL] [RANGED] [LIFE] [ATTACK]
Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
[0.1.1] Lightning Arrow Deadeye Build - the most standard Bow build in Path of Exile which offers surprisingly high DPS for a ranged character. It relies on Evasion and keeping distance for the defenses, and it guarantees amazing self-sustain against Bosses if you can afford the Thief's Torment Ring [ELEMENTAL] [RANGED] [LIFE] [ATTACK]
Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
[0.1.1] Spark Archmage Stormweaver - a unique Spell Caster build that allows you to maximize the damage of your Spells based on your Spirit and Maximum Mana. Naturally, they will be more expensive to cast, so this build relies on greatly increased Mana sustain, and may not be advised for new characters. We recommend using it with Spark - currently the most popular Spell in the game [CASTER] [ELEMENTAL] [ES] [MANA] Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
[0.1.1] Ignite Hammer of the Gods Titan - one of the best Titan builds that revolves around the most powerful Attack in the game, which deals tons of damage but has a long cooldown. By utilizing the extra Ignites you can deal damage constantly while waiting for the new Attacks, and progress through areas with the use of Stampede ability [MELEE] [ELEMENTAL] [LIFE] [IGNITE]
Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
[0.1.1] Skeletal Sniper Infernalist - a top-tier Minion build that allows you to control a small army of Skeleton Archer Minions that deal tons of damage while you support them with Curses, Flame Wall, and other buffs. At the same time, this is a very tanky build with around 20k Energy Shield allowing you to safely farm all the in-game content [SUMMONER] [ENERGY SHIELD] Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
[0.1.1] Raging Spirits Infernalist - one of the most popular Minions builds in the game currently, with Minions to spawn whenever you hit enemies with Fire Spells. This build (and class) is particularly powerful for beginners and on the Hardcore mode due to the Life stacking mechanisms, making it a very sturdy character [MINION] [FIRE] [LIFE] [STARTER] Budget: Boss DPS: AoE: Defenses:
