What build do you recommend for the new league for a new player in POE 1?

I'm considering one of these builds:

- Holy hammer slammer inquisitor build

- Earthshatter Berserker build

Thanks

If you need a build guide that will hold your hand, Pohx Righteous Fire
Holy Hammer is mostly speculation atm due to it being a new skill that nobody has played yet.
Berserker in my opinion is not new player friendly.

Look up youtube videos "path of exile 3.28 league starter" or "path of exile 3.28 tier list".
Make sure the video is from the past week.

RF is very comfy, damage sucks but it makes up for it by having explode and being super tanky. Mine from last league had 1m rf + 3m fire trap, but 500k ehp with high block, spell block, 57% phys as fire and like 5k life/sec regen.

It's bad for ubers but still managed to clear some valdo + feared maps, just without the worst mods

Earthshatter berserker would probably be pretty fun but not sure on what guide would be great for new players.

If you're new to the game and want a melee build i think the classic boneshatter is pretty nice, this guide is also great for new players. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D79KG-lJoWU

Dont focus on the endgame builds, mostly look at the "leveling" builds because as a new player that will be 90% of your time (like maybe 16 hours of gameplay).

Going hiero holy flame totems this time. Apparently it's buffed.
Haven't played it for so long.
Can recommend for newbies.
