What is the cheapest build to start?

So I'm a longtime poe 1 player. I only ever made one char in poe2 and played it through the first 3 acts, listening to every dialogue, exploring every nook and cranny of every region and so on. Its a beautiful and fun game but I didn't have it in me to do it again on a harder difficulty. I have some time on my hands all of a sudden as I 40/40ied the poe1 league.

What is an easy to start build that will allow me to progress through the game easily, while relying on whatever I drop along the way? A link to a guide would be great and any tips for a faster first three acts would be nice. I plan on taking it slow in the new acts like I did on my first playthrough for the first three acts.

Frost bolt with multi shot proj accel. Then at lvl 32 get you a snake pit ring and rest of campaign becomes a breeze

Search for Raxx Plant druid. Easy and cheap for early game into hard endgame aswell.

I ran through the campaign with a which using infernal legion on spectres as soon as it was unlocked. Before then it was spamming archers and fire spells to trigger the flaming skull spirit skill. I only spent any currency after level like 70. You can get the build off the ground for like a hot 5 exalts with the uniques that increase spirit. The chest piece that does that I only took off once I was level 80 or so.

If you go druid I can give you all my druid gear, decent staff, amulet etc (I can find a Poe ninja if you really want). I shelved him to play my bloodmage but he was pretty end game

I'd basically give you everything he has currently equipped
