Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
Sweep is one of the least often used skills but it can be pretty cool when built correctly. This build is pretty simple and very satisfying to play. You don’t need tons of investment to do good damage but build scales extremely well when more currency is put into it.
Build Pros
- Cheap to start out - great first build in new league
- Fast clear and satisfying gameplay
- Versatile in terms of item choices (can work well with different items)
- Good survivability and free fortify because of Champion ascendancy
Build Cons
- Have to be close to monsters to deal damage which is inherently more dangerous than being ranged
