[PoE2] How to Start Theorycrafting Your Build without Path of Building
146MonkGang represent! This video is not a guide for a build, but rather a guide on how to theorycraft a build for yourself with only the current limited tools and information. Expect a significant ramp up in size and clarity of these tools and information in the coming days. At the time of recording, Path of Building 2 is not released, and likely won't be until well after the launch of Early Access.
This final week is going to be FULL of clickbait guides pawned off as finished builds. I would not advise following anything that remotely resembles a build guide, including what you see in this video. But theorycrafting can be a lot of fun! So instead of just following other creators' creations, learn to do it yourself and revel in the discovery process! As for me, this is the most fun I've had in a long time playing at not playing the game.
I know I'm excited to play Monk come Early Access launch. What build/class/ascendancy are you most eager to build around? Let us know in the comments section!
