Path of Exile 2: Best PoE 2 Warrior build

This build is especially effective against elite enemies and bosses surrounded by smaller minions. Although this Warbringer build is incredibly strong, the main downside is its reliance on single bouts of damage.

Hammer of the Gods Hammer of the Gods will be your most powerful melee attack....

The RPS Advent Calendar 2024, December 18th

It’s ridiculously dense, darkly majestic, and popular among masochists. Come then, touch the withered arm and be transported behind door number 18… It’sElden Ring:Shadow Of The Erdtree! The new gold standard for open world environment design, and it comes from a DLC. That’ll be offputting to some, but to me it’s an impressive testament to the world design. This is a truly ancient and complex place. The birthplace of a goddess’s people, before she ascended to godhood....

It’s a free visual novel with a macabre puzzling element. The toys can be “sentenced” because the toys appear to be alive. They talk to you and share their memories as you pull them apart. But the toys are Not Nice. Their talk is of suffering and malice, darkness and blood. Some of them have glowing eyes and teeth. And then there’s the enigma of the Grand Toy Maker, who returns periodically to evaluate your choices....

The idea behind this build is to maximise Cold Damage, critical damage, and the Freeze status. If you’d rather use lightning damage as opposed to cold, that’s perfectly fine too....
