Beginner Friendly Guides (Early Game)?

My partner and I are a couple hours into PoE2. We’ve never played PoE1, and have no knowledge about any of the in game systems or mechanics aside from the few things we’ve researched. We’ve found plenty of resources for late game builds that are resource heavy to respec, and more with skills that don’t seem to be in the game in any capacity or are unlocked with progression. We have a good handle on how to follow builds using the correct skill and support gems to the degree the game will allow at our level, but failed to realize it would be nearly impossible to acquire low tier skill gems as we progress further into the game.

We’re looking for leveling guides that are current, and don’t require any skills or passives that may have been removed in recent updates. Preferably, a resource that isn’t densely populated with mostly endgame builds like mobalytics, or requires a subscription like pathofexile.com.

We’re not particularly interested in team building as much as being able to make builds for classes we’d like to play. Currently we’re looking to play the Sorceress (Djinn subclass), and the Huntress (Ritualist subclass). Any leveling guides or suggestions would be welcome as comments too, but we’re primarily looking for a website resource so we can track our progress more accurately.

Finally, any extra information about loot or resource farming would be welcome as well. Any website or blog with specific information on how to find the best augments and skills for your specific class’ gear would be appreciated.

find a build that has a levelling section, follow the wiki's playthough guide, should be a nice experience for you, gl!

I know you said no mobalytics but this levelling guide for a dinin sorc is straight from level 1 to level 64 basically all of the campaign then you can find some endgame builds if you like or just find a endgame variation of this build there are plenty of those around.

For huntress you can follow

Not the most damage dealing huntress but you can follow it till endgame and then pivot to a different huntress build like “glacial lance ritualist” if you like to.

Do people really prefer to be told what to do instead of just exploring and enjoying a new game for themselves?

for spell caster builds, find an aoe skill you like and also a boss killing skill you like. get equipment with + skills for your skills, get +% spell damage. put damage support gems on ur skills and you are set pretty much early game.

for attack based characters, u just need to find the hardest hitting weapon, + skills also help. get + damage on rings and gloves and u good to go.

if you press G, ur skills window pop up on the left and the DPS will show up, so you can swap gear in and out to see the DPS change.

dont worry thatttt much about defense early game, damage is king. until u get to mid late game.

hope this helps.
