Dear Exiles, The Forbidden Event has pushed Path of Exile 2 players to rethink their approach to endgame progression, creating a fast-paced meta where survivability, clear speed, and boss damage all play a crucial role.

The Forbidden Event in PoE 2 has created a unique meta where power, efficiency, and adaptability are more important than ever. Whether you prefer the lightning-fast clear speed of the Thunder Stalker Mercenary Gemling Legionnaire, the explosive screen-wide damage of the CoC Sparkomet Druid Oracle, the chilling crowd control and bossing potential of the Frost Reaper Druid Oracle, or the devastating shock-based destruction of the Voltaic Nemesis Mercenary Gemling Legionnaire, each of these builds offers a proven path to conquering endgame content.
Ultimately, the best choice comes down to your preferred playstyle, but any of these four builds can help you push through the toughest challenges the Forbidden Event has to offer and maximize your rewards before the event comes to an end.
