Today, I’m gonna share with you three of my favorite Path of Exile Crucible build and I’m sure at least one of them is going to spark your interests.
1. Cold Archer
Let’s start our list with a Freezing Cold Archer, Ice Shot Deadeye with Ranger class. This build uses one of my favorite skills in the whole game, it comes with an amazing career speed, boss damage and rare POE Orbs.
Pros And Cons
To reach the Pros of this build I’m going to talk exactly about that, this is able to clear maps in less than a minute and kill big bosses in less than a second, above all it’s also not complicated to put together. Now list the Cons starts with its cause, because of Lioneye’s Fall, this build is quite expensive right now. The price of this Jewel already dropped a lot but it’s still expensive. But, you can POE Currency buy a lot with a small cost at POECurrency.com.
About The Budget
As I just mentioned it’s an expensive build right now, you need around 5 Divine Orbs to put it together. You only need two mandatory unique POE items for this build, the first of course is the Lioneye’s Fall Jewel that grants many useful nodes on our passive tree. Next we also need a Yoke of Suffering Amulet that causes all over elemental damage to shock, this way our enemies take a lot more damage.
For Clear Speed
I’ll give it 10 out of 10. You’ll find many projectiles with high attack speed and those projectiles return to you piercing enemies, bouncing off walls and you even have your Mirage Archer to fire more projectiles, no one can survive that.
For Boss Damage
The boss damage is also amazing deserves 10 out of 10. Using the incredibly strong Vaal Ice Shot, plus your ballistas on bosses will kill them super fast.
For Survivability
I’ll give this build 9 out of 10. You have armor evasion and spell suppression that grains almost 50000 effective XP, but the main reason why this build is safe is since you can kill everything from a long distance, you just have to be mindful of your position.
2. Poison Guardian
We have one for the minion lovers out there, Poison Raging Spirits Guardian with Templar class. This build takes advantage of the high number of Raging Spirits you can summon to stack an absurd amount of poison on our enemies.
Pros And Cons
To list the Pros of this build I would start with its boss damage. once the build is completely going to kill even the biggest bosses in just a few seconds, the survivability is also amazing, since we can have all the defensive layers of a guardian on a minion build that is already very safe to play. Now to list the cons, this build isn’t suitable for everyone, you need to buy POE Currency to put it together. Another issue is that Raging Spirits have a short duration and you have to open a stop to re-summon them.
About The Budget
This build will need at least 10 Divine Orbs you put together, as I said it’s an expensive one. You need four mandatory unique items for this build. The first one is United in Dream Sword, that grants an Envy aura for a big amount of chaos damage to our minions, it also grants them 60% chance to poison on hit. We also need the Darkness Enthroned belt that has two abyss jewel sockets for us to achieve 100% chance to poison on our minions.
Next we need a Covenant Armor that grants our Raging Spirits at level 29 added Chaos Damage support, this means a lot more chaos damage. Finally we also need the Ancient Skull Helmet that grants a huge damage and attack speed boost to our minions.
For Clear Speed
I’ll give it 9 out of 10. Even though we have many fast Minions that destroy everything in seconds, they have a short duration and need to be re-summoned often, that’s the reason why I took one point out.
For Boss Damage
The boss damage deserves 10 out of 10. You can easily get over 30 million DPS, which is enough to wipe out every boss in the game.
For Survivability
I’ll give it 10 out of 10. As a minion build you already stay far from danger, but with this one you also count with the many defensive layers from Guardian ascendancy, this grants over 100000 effective HP.
3. Nightblade Raider
Finally we have the amazing Nightblade Flicker Strike Raider also with Ranger class. Easily achieves over 10 million DPS, it’s super tanky and as you can see on the gameplay Ultra fast.
Pros And Cons
To list the Pros of this build I’ll have to pretty much repeat what I just said, it’s one of the most well balanced builds I’ve ever played. It has super speed, damage and survivability, it also has a satisfying gameplay with explosions and let’s face it Flicker Strike is just super cool. Now to list the Cons starts saying that this build isn’t cheap, you need some mandatory unique and rare items that will exceed the price of one Divine orb. Another issue is that you have a little control over your character, this might be a problem on bosses like Queen Atzir and the Shaper, you need to know which clone to attack and be aware of your position.
About The Budget
Getting to the budget this build is expensive and not a starter, you need at least six Divine Orbs to put it all together. This build requires three required unique items. The first is the Farrul’s for body armor which guarantees that you always have your full frenzy charges up, next we also need a Yoke of Suffering Amulet that causes all of our elemental damage to be able to shock enemies, causing them to take even more damage from every source. Finally we need the perseverance belt that turns tankness into damage, it does that granting 1% increased damage forever 200 of the lowest between armor and evasion, good thing that this build comes with over 30000 of each.
For Clear Speed
This surely a 10 out of 10. I didn’t even need to tell you that, check out this gameplay, this is some serious anime swordsman stuff.
For Boss Damage
The boss damage is also great, especially when you can use your Berserk skill, as you can see it kills Guardians in less than two seconds, but I’ll only give it 9 out of 10 because this damage is reduced on Pinnacle bosses when it’s harder to stack our rage.
For Survivability
I will give it 9 out of 10. This build has almost 200000 effective HP, because of high Armor, high evasion, 100 stealth suppression, over 30% chance to block and high chance to avoid elemental ailments, I just took one point out because it has a low life regeneration, making it vulnerable to poison.
Outro
In addition, there is good news for everyone, Path of Exile 3.22 Trial of the Ancestors will be officially released on August 18, 2023. The game includes a sports-style auto-combat mode, the return of the Forbidden Sanctuary, and a rich endgame.
I wish you an amazing day and don’t forget to keep building.
