3.15 - Some POE Starter Build Ideas From Other Creators - Path of Exile Expedition
165#PoE #Leaguestart #Guide
This video lists 5 builds from other people that look like very solid choices for the upcoming league, as well as mentioning two build outlines I've made, and a few ideas that I wasn't able to make work.
Tripolarbare's Ice Trapper is probably the best choice if you are new to the game. Consider it if you have never hit level 80 before.
Links below to everything.
0:00 Intro
0:24 Things I couldn’t make work
2:45 Mentions of my builds (Absolution Guardian, Exsanguinate Mine Saboteur)
3:00 Zizaran's Essence Drain Contagion
4:04 Grimro's Soulwrest Necromancer
4:53 Tripolarbare's Ice Trapper (Saboteur or Raider)
5:31 ShakCentral's Vortex Occultist
6:05 Lighty's Reaper build (this one is much more experimental, probably a meme build)
Things I couldn't make work:
Poison Occultist Blade Trap. 6L blade trap for bosses, using either Cobra Lash, or Spectral Shield Throw for trash clear, Pneumatic Daggers with elemental rolls.
Voltaxic Rift Battlemage Voltaxic Burst Occultist, with or without spell poison – not for leaguestart, Cadigan’s Crown empowers the build and might be mega-rare, Volt Rift isn’t common either.
Mjolnir Voltaxic Burst – not until we see how Burst works exactly.
Boneshatter. Self damage feels too high for my tastes. Play Glacial Hammer instead. (Or don’t play Glacial Hammer)
Forbidden Rite selfcast – Heaps of people want a guide for this, and my answer is still “not until 84% chaos resist”. Self-damage is much worse than Righteous Fire.
Absolution Guardian
Completely untested, try at your own risk.

Exsanguinate Mines Saboteur
This is already known to work quite well in 3.14 and isn't gutted by nerfs.

Essence Drain – Contagian.
A tier damage projection. C tier single target.
Streamer Zizaran is an outstanding player and has posted a guide on his Youtube.

Soulwrest Necromancer
Grimro thinks this will be good, and I trust his judgement as I know little about minions. Soulwrest is a Tier 2 rarity drop-anywhere unique (same as Shavronne’s Wrappings) and might be 3-5 exalts early, but should fall to 1ex by day 3-5.
B tier damage projection. A tier bossing.

Ice Trap Raider or Saboteur
Streamer Tripolarbare has a guide to Ice Trap as a Saboteur that he also adapts to Raider which is very thorough and well worth a look. Works well on a budget. Incredibly detailed guide.
B+ for bossing. B for damage projection.

Vortex
ShakCentral is the preeminent authority on Vortex in POE and he has made a guide on the POE forums. Similar to Ice Trap in performance. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2661120
also check out Shak’s stream twitch.tv/ShakCentral and his Youtube https://www.youtube.com/c/shakcentral (I expect there will be a YT version of this guide soon)
Summon Reaper
And if you want a meme build, streamer Lighty has a plan for Summon Reaper.
