Easy build for new player

[^7ja^1co]

Can you recommend an easy to put build (not requiring lots of wealth in game) for someone very very new to POE?

Try enki's arc guide, that's rather detailed, or basically any guide labeled ssf viable should be fine in-game costwise.

Spells tend to be easier because they aren't that gear reliant. A particularly easy spell to play with is Exsanguinate. Reap is also a decent option but not as good at clearing, it's better for bosses.

Yeah follow an ssf build.

When you are following a build, it's okay to drop one of their damage auras to run purity of elements as it will take that pressure off your gear.

Your first build will always completely fail to properly match endgame content, you just want to be good enough to actually be able to clear the content and see what a good build needs.

Summon Raging Spirits and later move into poison Summon Raging Spirits is easy to gear for and since its a minion build gives you time to dodge mechanics while your pets continue dealing damage. Balormage has a nice guide for it.

Cold Dot Elementalist is pretty solid. Great to learn bosses, since it slows them down. It's a breeze to level and can do all content. It's the definition of a all around build. Not great when it comes to scaling damage to absurd levels, to deal with the hardest content like Ubers and such, but by the time you get there you'll have enough currency to make another char or respect into something like ignite vortex.

However, Summon Raging Spirit has some serious flaws such as:
- Raging Spirits needs some "wind up time" to reach max DPS with max spirits count (default is 20 spirits).
- You have to stand still when casting them, for a few seconds, which could be fatal when you are standing still at the wrong spot.
- Raging Spirits does not aggro enemies. They will still targeting you first if you pose enough threat.

An alternate, temporary minion DPS which can aggro enemies, consider Summon Skeletons + Infernal Legion.

Yeah, ir n00b too and I'm following maxroll cold dot elementalist and enjoying it.

I don't understand the bit where it says to farm vaal side areas, but I'm sure I will figure it out eventually.

this build survived SSF hardcore ruthless crucible. costs nothing and pretty easy to build. not a guide per se just a showcase but u can pause to look at skill tree etc.

Hello, Astasia. Hopefully you remember me from rimworld thread. Im poe player now too lol.
anyway, to OP, try explosive arrows champion from zizaran. he has a version of it for 3.22 on his channel

If you're super new, try just playing a minion witch. Summon zombies, skeletons, spectres, phantasm, etc. Look at any skill gem with the descriptor "minion", and when you go to the passive talent tree, put "minion" in the search bar - it will highlight all the relevant talents.

It's pretty foolproof, if not the most exciting or complex or even clever build, and it might struggle into maps if you're not super clued up, but it will get you through the campaign for sure and give you a decent taste of the game.

RF is just easy and there's a build from Pohx for both Jugg and Inquisitor that has so much details about the build

[Noobinator]

pohx.net has an absolut detailed guide on how to build an rf jugg/inqu. He also explains very detailed, how you can craft your gear in the beginning. And if you still need help, his YT videos are linked at the page.
