Path of Exile 2 builds

A build here means a class, a weapon, and an ascendancy that the public class pages already name. I am not publishing a damage ranking.

Where the build notes live

Monk pages carry quarterstaff skills such as Ice Strike and Falling Thunder. Sorceress starts from Spark. Warrior starts from Rolling Slam and maces. Ranger starts from Lightning Arrow. Mercenary starts from Fragmentation Rounds and a crossbow. Witch starts from Unearth and minions. Druid starts from Volcano. Duelist’s starting skill is blank on purpose.

Summoner play that crosses Witch minions and Skeletal Sniper is on summoner. A sortable ascendancy table, without a fake S-tier, is the tier list.

FAQ

What is a good league starter?

Start from the class’s listed starting skill and weapon. I do not name a single best build.

Where are ascendancy builds?

On the ascendancy pages for Lich, Oracle, Pathfinder, and Gemling Legionnaire, and in the full table for the rest.
