This overview is perfect for new players, late league starters, or those who just want to try another build that will work for end-game and is fun. This guide does not include ultra expensive builds for players who have accumulated a large amount of currency. Getting to maps and farming while surviving and having the ability to do all end-game content are key requirements for each of the recommended builds. I personally recommend NeverSink’s Loot Filter. Additionally, make sure you have a good loot filter.

There are other more powerful builds, but they generally are much more complex, expensive, require respecing, and specific uniques - but the reality is most of these builds don’t provide enough of an advantage to the core requirements to outperform the below recommendations.īefore we begin, Path of Building is a very important tool to have when following a build guide since many of them share PoB links. While a build may be listed as “best” or “top”, some players may disagree because of the style(s) they prefer – but one thing is assured – the builds listed herein are all rock solid and viable for their represented roles.

The diversity of PoE is one of its greatest features, but also one of the most complex aspects of the game. Some like Melee while others love bow builds. Some people hate totems while others only play totem builds. Relative to this overview, I want to acknowledge how important play style is.
