Hey Exiles! The Trial of the Ancestors Expansion is just around the corner, and as always, I’ve got your back with some starter builds to kick off the league. So, if you’re looking to get ahead with a bit of PoE currency and make the most of PoE trade, here’s the rundown on the top builds that’ll get you to the endgame without breaking the bank.
Did you know that over 60% of players start a new league without a solid build in mind? And, more often than not, they struggle in the mid to late game. No worries, I’ve crunched the numbers and experimented with the skills, and I’m here to guide you through the top builds for PoE 3.22 that’ll ensure you’re not part of that statistic.
