More info
Here are practical picks that cover different playstyles and are actively recommended by the community:
- Cyclone (Slayer/Juggernaut) — durable, simple melee with strong clear and survivability.
- Lightning Arrow (Deadeye) — fast mapping bow build and an easy league starter.
- Toxic Rain / Ballista (Pathfinder) — great screen clear and SSF viability.
- Summoner / Zoomancer or SRS Necromancer — safe, low-micro minion playstyle.
- Righteous Fire (Inquisitor/Chieftain) — tanky spellcaster with sustained clear and bossing potential.
Pick one that matches how you like to play (melee, ranged, minions or caster) and follow a current “league starter” guide for that build — guides include leveling trees, gem links and cheap gear options. Good places to find updated guides and PoB imports are community sites and the official forums; for example, Maxroll’s league-starter guides and the Path of Exile forum build threads are updated each patch. Also use PoE community tools like PoB and poe.ninja to check gear and meta numbers before heavily investing. (pobarchives.com)
