Cant descide

Hi all, I have played some D3 in the past so i tought id try poe2, but im faced with my biggest issue of all times. I cannot descide what to play!

this game is overwhelming, so much choice...

What i like : very flashy playstyle, lots of effects, screenwide clears, fire, lightning, just massive effects ( my pc can handle it).

I also like fast clears and speed.

Can anyone suggest stuff? I started a druid as wyvern but im not feeling it, also since the game is new all these terms are hard , like i barely know what class goes what ascendacy thus its hard to choose!

TLDR: i want a very fast flashy class with fast movement speed and clearing and alot of nice visuals :D

Explosive shot pathfinder with explosive grenades for bosses. With arjun's medal, you won't have to worry about mana at all. I'd recommend energy shield and evasion with ghost dance as a defensive layer.

Self chill something with a Headhunter sounds down your alley.

You can basically throw a coin on the class, I think self chill tech works on a lot of ascendencies.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Start sorceress. Look into cast on crit and cast on elemental ailment builds.

Go Oracle and use any Cast on Crit build, Comet CoC, Arc CoC, or even Dark flame Fireball CoC you have plenty options to choose from, but since you like flashy stuff, I'd say avoid plants, go for either Spark, Frostbolt or Elemental weaknes Doedre.

For leveling just use Spark, Orb of storm, and Frost bomb, and that will carry you to maps, then you can transition into the CoC builds, also I'd advice to use a version using wand + rare sceptre is almost as strong as Rathpith versions but cheaper and more flexible with the rest of your gear.

You could also use Bloodmage or Stormweaver but for beginners, Oracle is better since it's easier to build a CoC and

you can respec your druid into an oracle spell caster and do the cast on crit build thats super popular this league. either cast on crit comet or cast on crit plants

Blood mage + doedre COC build check out imjustanthony build in mobalytics. He provided 3 tiers of budget for the build

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?

Rakiata who?

Rakiata who?

I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
