Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
Very versatile and very strong build to start in a new league. While the finished build goes into critical strikes, to begin with, the build will work with any weapon you find until you can get your hands on decent Two-handed staff. There is a cool synergy between Winterweave Coral Ring and Replica Hotdeaded Viridian Jewel which makes us very fast.
While the build technically is melee build, Lightning Strike easily kills the mobs from afar making this build sem-ranged build as well.
