Looking for a build to commit to until next league.

I know you said you’re not really interested in committing to plant oracle, but that’s the only build I’ve played this league and I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Scales really well for the temple, but you do end up “needing” several thousand divines in gear to efficiently clear the fully juiced temple (kill tanky rares and room bosses instantly or in 1 second instead of 5+) but that’s probably true for most builds. I’ve been thinking about rerolling a spark CoC blood mage, but don’t know if I can convince myself to build another temple.

I just bought my first ever mirror in PoE2 thanks to Poisonburst Pathfinder.

I ve probably invested around 4-5k div into it and it just keeps scaling and scaling. Might for for lvl 100 with it, currently halfway to 99.

Super tanky, blasts through temples, one shots uber pinnacle bosses...I just love it. Played this in 0.3 too, but not like this.

I actually made a whirling slash/twister build. My first on my own build. Threw poison on the twisters and whirling slash chance and the poison magnitude just deletes mobs, bosses go down quite well actually but it could still be tuned better. Also have rapid assault and explosive spear for the bosses. Been really fun though, first build to get me through all the ascendancies and almost maxed T15 maps. Still a little squishy though.

COC Comet. No visibility but it doesn’t matter since nothing survive around you.

I only quit the league because my temple looped.

I want to piggyback on this . If I delete all chars from this league and i start a new one do i get a reset on endgame map ?

I’ve had the most fun lately with my xbow witch hunter. Based on a build from Wollie. I went with a surround build using the constricting command helmet and defy 2 for lucky hits and being able to use the skill with no mana. I also used thunderstorm to shock so I could use shock burst rounds for my single dps. Pretty fast play and very tanky. Should be able to get it started pretty cheap. Also the prism of belief for shock burst was only around 100 divs when I bought it.

Ive been trying hard to create a molten strike build. Boneshatter for clear and Armour breaker for bossing or hard rares. Still working on the build, but it clears all the games content.

Check out my build. One button, immortal, juicy temple no problem, and on top of that, no visibility problem. I leveled from 97 to 100 without dying once.

I think it's still a bit early to bother with researching which builds will be strong/powerful/fun next league.

Sure, you can look at the current meta as a baseline of what is already strong, but it's important to wait for next league patch notes to figure out what of the current list is "strong" but gets buffed or is "good" already but gets buffed, those are typically the meta builds of the next league. A lot of the times they under-buff the weakest builds (like chayula) so you can't ONLY rely on patch notes.

But like, strong builds that get small or modest buffs is how we've ended up at the meta almost every single patch since launch. (other than lightning spear which wasn't patched into power until a week into the league).

I will say GENERALLY a safe archtype every single patch has been some variation of 1) grenades 2) spark 3) contagion/ed 4) monk 5) ranger/amazon doing ranged things.
