Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
With the upcoming Archnemesis league, Arc is one of the skills that is being buffed so now is a great time to pick up one of the best and oldest skills in the game and start chaining maps. Build feels solid from the get-go as soon as you pick up the skill and level it up a bit. Although the all items for the build can be quite expensive if you sum up the costs, you don’t have to upgrade everything at once and can gradually spec into the low-life. Build works fantastically well with next to no investment and once you start buying some of the build-defining items, you can feel the build taking shape.
Build Pros
- High damage output
- Fast-paced gameplay
- Can be played as a league starter
- Actually fun to play
- Can do most map mods
Build Cons
- When pieced together, the build can be quite expensive
- Requires positional awareness
