Path Of Exile 2 Best Warrior: How To Build It In Dawn Of The Hunt?

At the beginning of the development of the role-playing game, it has always been based on the three archetypes of Warrior, Rogue, and Wizard. In Path Of Exile 2, Warrior character combines the essence of the three archetypes. This is the largest, most exciting and powerful class in POE2.

As a melee expert, Warrior defeats the enemy with brute force and raw power when fighting with the enemy. But winning is not as simple as swinging an axe, so in POE 2 Early Access version, Warrior’s Best Build is the Best Skills, Ascendancy and Items as follows.

Best Warrior Build

The build that has received unanimous praise in POE 2 Early Access is Bone Crusher build, because it can still be used in the endgame, and even in some battles, this build can defeat mid- and high-level enemies in one fell swoop.

However, as the developers are still constantly refining the game content of POE 2, every major update may have some impact on this build, such as weakening or improving.

According to the current feedback from players, Bone Crusher is still the strongest at present, but there is no guarantee that it will always be so.

Best Ascendancy

In fact, there is a clue in the name of Warrior that can guide us to find that the best Ascendancy for this class is Smith of Kitava.

But one thing to be clear is that after we choose a certain Ascendancy, we cannot change it, so please think carefully before choosing.

Best Passive Skills

After we determine Ascendancy, the next step is to consider our key Passive Skills.

Take Smith of Kitava for example, we need to select a Passive Skill from the skill tree as shown in the image below.

• Coal Stoker
• Unnatural Resilience
• Forged in Flame
• Smith’s Masterwork
• Tantalum Alloy
• Motlon Symbol
• Support Straps
• Kitavan Engraving
• Leather Bindings
• Flowing Metal

When choosing passive skills here, we need to note that Warrior is a close attack on the enemy, so our goal is not only to increase Warrior’s damage output but also defense.

Best Skills And Support Gems

When fighting against the enemy, most of the attack damage caused to the enemy comes from the selection of main skills and support skills. Therefore, the selection of main skills and support skills is crucial.

Below, the best Main Skills for this build, and the best Support Gems/Skills to go with it.

Mace Strike

• Support Gems: Concentrated Effect, Close Combat, Soul Thief

Infernal Cry

• Support Gems: Premeditation, Tireless, Enraged Warcry, Raging Cry

Boneshatter

• Support Gems: Impact Shockwave, Magnified Effect, Reach, Defy

Leap Slam

• Support Gems: Brink, Rage, Overpower, Martial Tempo

Herald of Ash

Overwhelming Presence

Seismic Cry

• Support Gems: Dazing Cry, Inspiration

Earthshatter

• Support Gems: Upheaval, Spinter, Aftershock, Reverberate, Font of Rage

Shield Charge

• Support Gems: Ingenuity

After you complete the build and want to make it your own, you can choose or add other Support Gems as you like. It should be noted that because of the current POE 2 gem system, players may not find exactly the same skill gems at the same stage, so your customization is very high.

Best Items

In POE 2, weapons and armor are equally important in completing your build. This is because each item has a buff effect, which has an important bonus in making a build more powerful.

And the version of the item we find is closely related to our level. Sometimes, when we find one of the following items, we may find that its level is not enough to defeat the enemy.

However, in the later stages, we can replace the previous items with more powerful items, which may require more time and effort to farm high-level items.

If we can only farm low-rarity items, we can use POE 2 currency to upgrade them to cope with the corresponding combat situation.

• Sacred Maul: A weapon that provides higher physical damage, attack speed and melee skill level gains.
• Vaal Tower Shield: An offhand that provides higher physical damage, block chance, and defense ability gains.
• Massive Greathammer: An offhand that provides higher physical damage, attack speed and melee skill level gains.
• Massive Greathammer (2): An offhand that provides higher physical damage, attack speed and melee skill level gains.
• Thrillsteel: A helmet that enhances the power of heavy attacks.
• Ornate Plate: An armor that provides a higher physical damage gain.
• Vaal Mitts: A glove that provides us with higher physical damage, attack speed and lightning damage gains.
• Vaal Greaves: A Boots that provides higher physical damage, movement speed and resistance gains.
• Inferno clasp: A Belt that provides higher fire resistance gains.
• Breach Ring: A Ring that provides health and resistance gains.
• Breach Ring (2): A Ring that provides health and resistance gains.
• Amber Amulet: An Amulet that provides higher strength, health and melee skill gains.
• Experimenter’s Thawing Charm of the Chemist: An amulet that increases freeze resistance.

The above are some suggestions for the best Warrior’s build in POE 2 Dawn of the Hunt and look forward to more possibilities in the future.
