I’ve played a Scorching Ray/Righteous Fire Jug and a Molten Strike Jug.

Looking to try Arc Elemenalist, Freezing Pulse Totems, Reave or Kinetic Blast.

Looking for opinions on these builds or something fun, cheap, and able to efficiently farm high tier maps.

E: the bolded ones I am strongly considering.

Also wondering about some good Cheap Magic Find Builds?

Self Cast Arc is a great league starter, 4L Arc is pretty strong early on

Was thinking of following Enki’s Arc Witch. Looks to be maybe the slowest movement speed build out of the ones I’ve selected? It also could’ve just been the one or two videos I watched. Damage looks good. Looks fun as f*ck too!

A buddy I play with keeps trying to get me to got Reave or KB. I like reave (on paper) not sure how I feel about playing it, couldn’t even finish a video on the build. KB looks amazing, fun to play, visually appealing, fairly cheap and easy to play. But I guess the down side with having a 3m DPS char is you are squishy as sh*t.

Personally, I’m leaning towards an Arc Elemetialist to start and run most of the league with, but I’ll be gearing a second character later on, thinking KB or a(n) MF build.

pretty squish with self cast unless you get semi expensive leech gear.. its why totems/traps/mines tend to be a bit better for dirt cheap easy annihilation

Going to play KB at start. Looks badass.

But I do want to give arc a try, so I might make an arc on standard sometime.

Jugger - ice crash

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2187472

I know ALL ppl have tried it, well mostly all, but i found it ok fun to play with.
Its super tanky and can go well into end game content.

Its easy to re-spec to a HOWA jugger when you have some currency

This is my entrance to the leage start.

My goal this league is to farm 150+ Ex. Ideally I’d only like to play leagues when I run out of currency on standard. Farm leagues for standard, build all my chars on standard. It’s where most of my friends play anyway.

E: Although, Jugger Ice Crash does look pretty interesting. Def will be giving this a look over. *Might* pm you about some questions I have if that’s okay?

I think I’ve finally made up my decision for starting char, which will be a Kinetic Blast. Will be fairly cheap as I’m just using KB to farm T10-T12. And roughly spending 5ex or less.

Now, once my KB has farmed up enough currency, I will be making a tank to farm T13-T16.

I’m still searching for a medium-high priced tank, not too worried about his overall DPS as in more running the tank in groups so my buddies don’t have to rage. :lol:
