Good builds to try in Path of Exile 2 right now are:
- Spark/Archmage (Sorceress) for safe ranged clearing,
- Lightning Arrow Deadeye (Ranger) for fastest map farming,
- Minion Spirit/Infernalist (Witch) for budget-friendly tanky play,
- Cyclone / Sunder Titans (Warrior) for melee clears and bossing, and
- Poison/Projectile Pathfinder or Mercenary for sustained single-target damage. These builds are repeatedly highlighted in recent tier lists and meta guides as reliable choices across casual and endgame content. Tier/meta roundup and build examples. (dving.net)
Each archetype has clear strengths: Spark sorcerers carpet maps with lingering projectiles and scale well with mana/energy-shield items, Lightning Arrow Deadeye is favoured for speed and boss potential, minion Infernalists let you kite while minions do the work, and Cyclone/Titan melee builds offer straightforward survivability for newcomers. For starters or league alts, follow a recent leveling guide (e.g., Toxic Arrow/Lightning Arrow or Skeleton Mage guides) and then pivot to a meta endgame variant once you have key uniques or crafted gear.
