Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
If you like quick clear and safe playstyle, this is a great league starter build to do it with. The build can clear entire screen pretty reliably due to the ballistas each shooting a number of arrows. The build is not as innately tanky as a juggernaut, for example, but it makes up for it with the ability to keep a safe distance from the monsters.
In 3.24 we no longer have access to tincture that allowed all elemental damage to poison, so it will be slightly harder to build, however, build is still a very solid choice to start with. It’s possible that some of the Necropolis mods will allow us to do the poison thing though.
Build Pros
- Cheap, so excellent for a league start
- Solid boss killer
- Fast mapper
Build Cons
- Poison damage has some delay in killing monsters initially, so have to be careful not to run in the middle of them
