Patch 2.6 Builds in Path of Exile

By Leo Jiang2017-04-14

Path of Exile is such an extensive and complex game that one can just jump in without any planning. Following a build guide is always good for new and even experienced players as very few players are capable of building viable end-game builds. More latest poe news are waiting for you.

 

Flameblast Totem (Pizzasticks or Pizzablast) is the best league starter, which can annihilate enemies and burn them to cinders. Note there are 3 ascendancy builds, one can follow for Flameblast Totems. The most traditional is Witch build, which is the most balanced Elementalist. The Templar variation offers hirophant (4 totems but less damage) and Inquisitor.

 

Warchief Totem

When you find or craft a high DPS 2H axe, it’s simply magical. It’s powerful and easy to scale (just craft 2H axes), it has great survivability (swap out Concentrated Effect for AoE when doing Izauro, etc), and it is fun.

Earthquake

It’s fun and very powerful, like Warchief Totem, all players need to focus on rolling 2H axe. Items are interchangeable with Warchief Totem and Earthquake build. As a player may want to choose EQ over WCT, the reason is that they like to bounce around and jump in the middle of action more often. EQ is also able to do cold breach much easier than WCT since anti-freeze buff doesn’t apply to totems.

 

As a new player in poe 2.6 this build is still viable and some will even tell you that it's the top build to start with. A lot of players have been turning away from Earthquake due to nerf to it in the last patch, but it wasn't put into ground. This build is one of the best in game right now at putting out incredible damage on a low budget.

 

Blight Occultist

Running it in softcore means you need to make less cautious and more heavily into offense, which is always a lot of fun. This build provides a well-rounded mix of AoE clearing, overall damage, and survivability.

 

Essence Drain (ED) & Contagion

The only issue is ED, it usually runs into a brick wall around T10 without certain unique. It is also an excellent first build since damage is based on skill gem level mainly. But when you clear screen with a single hit and watch your enemies melt all around you, it feels like perfect golf swing.

Flameblast Elementalist

Although this is designed for 2.4, this build plays perfectly fine on 2.6 and it's really easy to get start with as a novice player. Elementalists are nerfed, but (just like Earthquake) you shouldn't think it's unplayable. Flameblast builds are extremely popular in this patch and I'd rank this as one of the top two builds of this kind.

 

Summon Raging Spirit (SRS)

It is also a great build that scales well, but there can be issued with targeting in zerg breaches. Animate Weapon is another very fun build. The only issue is that it requires Chaos Damage support gem to shine, but once you get your army of weapons up, melts crazy bosses will have great survivability.

 

Blade Vortex Occultist

Blade Vortex's radius is increased in 2.6 and that inspires a lot of people to give it a second look. Players’ build focus on scaling up physical, chaos, and poison damage rather than worrying about critical strikes and damage. Doing so allows the build to feel a lot stronger earlier because you don't have to rely on the inconsistency crit-based builds experience.

 

Although Path of Exile has been released for several years, Path of Exile is an interesting MMORPG game, which attracts more and more players for participating. As you know there are many POE Exalted Orbs and path of exile items suppliers online. It is realistic to choose a safe and reliable website to buy poe exalted orbs, poe currency and poe items. If you try to choose Mmogah, Mmogah will not let you down and it will supply good service for you. More than 10 years’ gaming industry experience and good reputation can make you satisfy.
