Path Of Exile 2: How Does The Passive Skill Tree Work?

Witch in Path of Exile 2 is a very interesting class. She can be called strong in the early stage. With the protection of summons, she can face the monster group without pressure. However, Witch in the later stage seems to be a little powerless, because Witch’s summons cannot face the powerful boss, which causes Witch to face the boss alone. The survivability of a witch without summons is not high, so players who want to play a powerful witch need to have the correct Ascendancy, weapons and skills.

DPS of Witch is a little lower than other characters in Path of Exile 2, so Witch cannot rashly re-enter the boss field and instill your damage to the boss. This will not have much effect, and you will die. So the following recommends an extremely powerful Flame Witch build.

Equipment

Witch is very dependent on minions, and it takes a lot of Spirit to summon more minions. Therefore, Witch’s equipment should be matched by Spirit. The more Spirit you have, the more summons you can drive.

The most direct way to increase your Spirit is to rely on equipment. Some scepters will directly provide you with Spirit, and you can also use POE 2 Chaos orbs to replace some of your equipment affix with affix that increase Spirit, which is even better.

Weapons

Many scepters can directly provide you with a large amount of Spirit, and among them, Rattling Scepter is the most suitable scepter for witches. This scepter not only provides 100 Spirit for witches, but also allows you to summon some minions.

These minions are not too strong, but they can perfectly contain the enemy and put you in a safe position to attack without worry.

You can choose to place Shield or Focus in the off-hand position to improve your survivability, or if you are confident enough, you can also equip a wand in the main hand and a scepter in the off-hand, abandoning the ability to defend and turn all to offense.

Some flame wands can make the enemy suffer from burning, such as the Volatile Wand, which can turn the corpse into a fireball that chases the enemy. Leaving the corpse can also be used to summon minions, and Focus is very useful at this time. How you want to use the corpse depends on whether you need flame or minions.

Armor And Accessories

For armor and accessories, the first choice is still items that can increase Spirit. The second is items that enhance summons. Spirit is the key to determining how many summons a witch can control, which is crucial.

There are not many armor and accessories that enhance Spirit. You can try to get Alpha’s Howl Armored Cap and Ventor’s Gamble Gold Ring, which are both equipment that can enhance your Spirit.

You can also choose to use currency to exchange more POE 2 items that enhance Spirit with other players.

Skills

In POE 2, players can learn skills at will. However, a powerful build requires a specific combination of some skills to exert greater power.

Skill Gems

• Skeletal Arsonists: Paired with Support Gems: Fire Infusion, Scattershot, and Immolate
• Flame Wall: Paired with Support Gems: Arcane Tempo, Fortress, and Spell Cascade
• Detonate Dead: Paired with Support Gems: Magnified Effect, Corpse Conservation, and Spell Echo
• Flammability: Paired with Support Gems: Burning Inscription, Impending Doom, and Magnified Effect
• Pain Offering: Paired with Support Gems: Font of Rage, Persistence, and Ablation
• Unearth: Paired with Support Gems: Corpse Conservation, Persistence, and Feeding Frenzy

The core of Flame Witch’s skill set is flame and minions. You need to allocate your skill gems and support gems mainly to these skills.

Skeletal Arsonists

Skeletal Arsonists allow you to summon skeleton hurlers that throw flaming projectiles. Yes, they are ranged characters. Rattling Scepters allow you to summon warriors. Put warriors and hurlers together and you have an army.

The key is that the flames thrown by Skeletal Arsonists can be combined with your other flame skills, which allows these poor skeletons to do more damage.

Flame Wall

Flame Wall creates a Flame Wall in front of you, and enemies that enter it will be set on fire and receive continuous damage.

With the support gem equipped for this skill, you can create three Flame Wall, which can effectively prevent enemies from getting in front of you.

The support gem Fortress can double all your flame skills, and your flame wall will be greatly amplified.

The remaining Pain Offering and Unearth focus on increasing the damage of minions, while Detonate Dead and Flammability make your enemies suffer from flames.

Passive Skills

Passive skills are still built along the lines of increasing flame damage and minion damage, but fortunately there aren’t many passive skills in POE 2 that increase fire skills, so you only need to focus on increasing minion damage.

Ascendancy

When Witch chooses Ascendancy, we still have two options: Infernalist and Bloodmage. Among them, Infernalist is Ascendancy that controls hellfire and hell minions, which is very suitable for a flame witch.

The first skill you need to unlock is Hellhound, which will be another minion you summon. After you complete the remaining two trials, you will continue to gain Ascendancy, and you need to add Pyromantic Pact and Bringer of Flame.

Pyromantic Pact will allow Infernal Flame to replace your mana, and when Infernal Flame is sufficient, Bringer of Flame skill will allow all attacks of you and your minions to set the enemy on fire.

The above is an introduction to POE 2 Flame Witch build. As the only summoner in POE 2, this class is very interesting to play. However, it may require a lot of currency to fully build her. Interested players can try this build.

There are 6 different classes in Path of Exile 2 Early Access, each with its own weaknesses and strengths, some with strong survivability, and others that can deal a lot of damage. Deadeye is a class with both weaknesses and strengths. She has very strong output capabilities, but weak survivability. However, this is not a problem. For Deadeye, just kill all the enemies. No living monsters will not pose a threat to her survival.

So, can Deadeye do this? Without a doubt, yes. Deadeye is one of the most brutal classes in the game that make damage, and Lightning Arrow build can destroy the enemy with great force. If you haven’t completed the campaign yet, or want to try a new class, then you can try Lightning Arrow Deadeye.

Basic Build

Lightning Arrow Deadeye is one of the most basic but powerful builds in Path of Exile 2. The important spells required for this build can be learned in the prologue, and the rest of the skills are just supplements to make your build more powerful.

Lightning Arrow Deadeye’s basic idea of dealing damage is to combine Lightning Arrow and Lightning Rod. When fighting, first throw a few Lightning Rods on the battlefield, and then use the powerful Lightning Arrow. In this case, both the boss and the ordinary enemy will be stunned for a few seconds, and you can take advantage of this time to pour your damage on the enemy.

In addition, Deadeye class is not completely unable to resist the enemy’s attacks. In fact, she is very flexible on the battlefield. You only need to increase the dodge and resistance of Deadeye class, and you can make it shuttle quickly on the battlefield, and the enemy can’t touch her at all.

When you combine Deadeye’s attack and dodge, you will find that you can handle most situations. Even some bosses cannot survive to the second phases under your attack. At the same time, this construction can easily destroy monster groups, which is convenient for you to farm the map and collect Exalted Orbs.

Act I

• Lightning Arrow: Martial Tempo + Lightning Infusion
• Lightning Rod: Scattershot + Concentrated Effect
• Wind Dancer

Players can obtain two key skills, Lightning Arrow and Lightning Rod, in the first act. All you need to do in the first act is to enhance these two skills, and the method is to use support gems.

Lightning Infusion lets you continuously inflict lightning damage when attacking, while reducing fire and cold damage.

Martial Tempo can speed up your attack speed.

If you have more uncut support gems, it is recommended to equip Lightning Rod with the two support skills Scattershot and Concentrated Effect. They can increase the number of projectiles and make the area damage caused by lightning stronger.

After you defeat King of the Mists, you will get an uncut spirit gem. Use this gem to unlock the spirit skill Wind Dancer, which will increase your dodge rate and enhance survival.

Act 2

• Orb of Storms: Unleash + Chain
• Voltaic Mark: Magnified Effect

There isn’t much to do in Act 2 except completing Trial of Sekhemas and ascending to Deadeye. However, if you can, unlock two more skills: Orb of Storms and Voltaic Mark. Both of these skills will cause lightning damage to enemies.

Orb of Storms creates a lightning ball that causes chain damage to enemies. This skill can quickly trigger Lightning Rods. The support skills Unleash and Chain allow you to release more Lightning Balls and cause more chain damage.

Voltaic Mark marks enemies as being damaged by lightning. Enemies with this mark will explode when they die. The support skill Magnified Effect can expand the range of the explosion.

Act III And Cruel Mode

• Orb of Storms: Overabundance, Unleash, Chain
• Lightning Arrow: Martial Tempo, Lightning Infusion, Heft
• Lightning Rod: Scattershot, Concentrated Effect, Lightning Penetration
• Herald of Thunder: Lightning Mastery, Elemental Focus
• Voltaic Mark: Inspiration, Magnified Effect

The construction in Act III will gradually take shape. You need a lot of POE 2 Currency to build your class at this stage. You need to use Lesser Jeweler’s Orb to open a third hole for your Lightning Arrow and Lightning Rod, and then add a support gem to them.

Lightning Arrow needs Heft to increase the maximum physical damage, and Lightning Rod needs Lightning Penetration to penetrate the enemy’s lightning resistance.

At the same time, your Orb of Storms also needs to add another slot support gem slot and put Overabundance in it.

Herald of Thunder allows you to deal continuous lightning damage to nearby enemies after you kill them. This spirit gem needs to be unlocked after you defeat Ignaduk the Bog Witch.

In subsequent maps, you will need to continue collecting Greater Jeweler’s Orbs to open a fourth socket for your Lightning Arrow and put in the support skill Primal Armament. It allows you to make more elemental damage.

You will also need to add some intelligence and unlock Cast on Shock and Ball Lightning. Then combine Cast on Shock and Ball Lightning, and put the two support skills Deceleration and Impetus, after Cast on Shock.

Passive Skills

Lightning Arrow Deadeye requires a lot of passive skills to complete. Because it needs to increase dodge level, agility, attack speed, attack damage, lightning damage and other attributes. Here are some recommended passive skills:

• Catlike Agility
• Vile Wounds
• Clean Shot
• Master Fletching
• Harness the Elements
• Surging Currents
• Escape Velocity
• Trick Shot
• Piercing Shot
• Pierce the Heart
• Sniper
• Lightning Rod

Equipment

To equip Lightning Arrow Deadeye needs quite a few things, the most important of which is Double String Bow. Double String Bow allows you to shoot two arrows at the same time, greatly increasing your damage. You also need to use Chaos Orb to convert some affixes that increase dodge and agility for your armor. You also need a lot of spirit to ensure that all your spirit skills can be used.

Ascendancy

After you become Deadeye in the second act, allocate sublimation points to these skills:

• Gathering Winds: Get Tailwind skill. This skill will remain effective as long as you are not hit.
• Wind Ward: Reduce damage taken by 3% while Tailwind skill is active.
• Point Blank: As long as you are within 3.5 meters of the target, the projectile damage will be increased by 20%.

The above is the basic build of Lightning Arrow Deadeye. To be honest, this is a build that relies extremely on lightning damage, but it works. Players still need some skills to avoid the boss’s attacks when using this build, because although this build is powerful, it is not invincible.

Build diversity is one of the core charms of Path of Exile 2. By collecting gear, leveling up skills, and planning in the passive skill tree, players can increase their character’s abilities to amazing levels.

If you’re looking for a way to play with both survivability and powerful damage, try Fireball Blood Mage build. Here is a detailed Fireball Blood Mage build guide to help you upgrade efficiently and ultimately master this build.

Blood Mage Overview

Witch class has two Ascendancies for players to choose from, and Blood Mage is one of them. Relying solely on the basic abilities of the Blood Mage is not enough to deal with powerful enemies in the late game.

To fully realize the potential of Blood Mage, players need to cleverly combine skills and passive abilities to increase its output damage and improve survivability at the same time. This strategy requires players to combine Blood Mage with sorcery skills.

For example, players can combine powerful spells such as Fireball, Frost Wall, and Comet with skills such as Sanguimancy and Vitality Syphon. Such a combination not only deals a lot of damage but also restores health to a certain extent, thus maintaining a long-lasting combat effectiveness in fierce battles.

Act 1

In the early stages of Blood Mage, if you don’t have enough POE 2 Currency support, it may be a bit challenging due to resource constraints, especially in the acquisition of gems and mana. Therefore, it is crucial to plan the order of skill unlocking properly. First, you need to prioritize unlocking Flame Wall, which is your chief means of damage output in the early stage.

Subsequently, unlocking Frost Bomb and Spark is also very important. Frost Bomb can provide area control and additional damage, while Spark is extremely useful for dealing with basic enemies and boss battles. Next, you should consider pairing Flame Wall with Fortress and Arcane Tempo. Finally, don’t forget to insert Magnified Effect for Frost Bomb.

Act 2

You will start to shape your end-game build. First, you need to focus on Hypothermia, because it can significantly enhance the damage of your Cold spells. But before that you need to upgrade your character to level 30.

Once you reach level 31, you’ll get Uncut Skill Gem level nine and unlock Fireball and Frost Wall. Next, you’ll want to spend some time farming until you get two Uncut Skill Gem level nine for each of these two skills.

For Fireball, you can use any uncut support gem to unlock Scattershot and Unleash for Fireball. For Frost Wall, you’ll want access to Spell Cascade and Concentrated Effect .

Act 3 And Beyond

You need to start thinking about how you’re going to complete your build in the long term. First, unlock Comet to quickly clear maps. Even though Cast on Freeze was nerfed at launch, you’ll still want to use it in conjunction with Comet.

Then unlock Eye of Winter for better control and damage output. Finally, make sure you unlock Grim Feast and use various Orbs to unlock additional slots for Fireball, Cast on Freeze, and Frost Wall. Finally, ditch Spark and replace Arcane Tempo on Flame Wall with Fire Mastery.

Equipment

In POE 2, equipment selection is crucial to character building. First, you need a powerful weapon, such as a wand or staff, which should have the property of providing damage boost to all spells. In addition, any property that can increase your maximum mana and help mana regeneration is also necessary.

Whenever you find a piece of equipment with potential, just use POE 2 Exalted Orb, Orb of Augmentation and Regal Orb to help you improve the equipment’s properties and make it more powerful. It is recommended that you start using them from the early stage of the game.

Blood Mage needs to equip equipment with defensive skills to resist various elemental damage and improve health and mana regeneration. In addition, you also need to obtain Blueflame Bracers, which will help your Fireball freeze enemies and make it easier to trigger Comet from Cast on Freeze.

Blood Mage also needs an armor that provides Energy Shield to synergize with one of Ascendancy nodes, Crimson Power. In addition, you also need to obtain Atziri’s Disdain helmet to convert your health into Energy Shield. This synergizes with Eldritch Battery, which converts Energy Shield into mana.

Ascendancy Leveling Guide

In POE 2, the best Ascendancy choice for a Witch is Blood Mage, a class that focuses on improving survivability and strengthening sustained output in combat. Every time you cast a spell or defeat an enemy, you regain vitality.

During the early campaign, you will gain four Ascendancy nodes. As you enter the more difficult Cruel Mode, there will be 8 Ascendancy nodes to unlock, helping you further refine your build.

Passive Skill Tree

Blood Mage build needs to use passive skills to enhance spells, focusing primarily on Fire and Cold damage. Here are the spells you should consider when unlocking the passive skill tree:

• Climate Change
• All Natural
• Breaking Point
• Calibration
• Austerity Measures
• Inescapable Cold
• Arcane Intensity
• Raw Mana
• Psychic Fragmentation
• Echoing Flames
• Echoing Frost
• Eldritch Battery

By making good use of all available resources and skills, Fireball Blood Mage build will become a powerful weapon in your quest to conquer Path of Exile 2, helping you easily meet challenges at every stage of the game.

In Path of Exile 2, fighting monsters is not only about dealing damage but also about Crowd Control effects. In some cases, it can be even more critical than dealing damage directly. The success of many powerful combinations depends on the correct application of these control effects, so understanding the mechanics of Crowd Control and how to deal with them is as important as understanding Ailments.

This article will take a thorough analysis of Crowd Control effects in PoE 2 and their importance, helping players better understand how to use these effects to shape your character.

A Crowd Control effect is any mechanism that can hinder or completely prevent an entity from performing an action. In PoE 2, these effects are not only very useful in daily combat but also particularly important when facing powerful enemies that are difficult to defeat, such as rare monsters with tough modifiers, or unique bosses like Mighty Silverfist.

This guide lists several currently known Crowd Control effects in Path of Exile 2:

1. Stun/Heavy Stun

Stun is an important Crowd Control effect that can temporarily interrupt the target’s actions, usually for a short period. However, if the target is stunned multiple times, especially in a short period, it will usually cause the enemy to die, increasing Path Of Exile 2 Currency drop. It is worth noting that Stun effect can also affect the player, so the player needs to be vigilant at all times to avoid being hit by the enemy and unable to fight back.

The generation of Stun is usually related to the accuracy of the attacker. Physical hits have a certain chance to cause Stun, especially when the attacker’s accuracy is high. In addition, A Heavy Stun is another more powerful Stun effect.

A Heavy Stun not only temporarily completely prohibits all actions of the target but also lasts for a long time. When Heavy Stun Meter located below the enemy’s health bar is filled, the target will enter Heavy Stunned. When the target recovers, Stun Buildup will gradually decrease over a short period, which may provide the player with an additional attack window.

In order to effectively use Heavy Stun, players can use some specific skills and passives to enhance Stun effect. For example, Seismic Cry Mace Skill and Surprising Strength Titan passive can significantly enhance the stun effect, especially the control ability of the enemy, thus creating more output opportunities for players.

2. Pin And Knockback

Pin is a control effect that restricts the target’s movement, but does not prevent the target from attacking, as the enemy can still attack. However, it can be very valuable for certain character builds that rely on delayed damage, long cast times, or continuous area damage skills.

For example, a spellcaster or ranged character can use Pin to pin an enemy in place, ensuring that skills can hit the target accurately, especially if the enemy is difficult to reach or leaping.

Knockback, on the other hand, has a completely different effect. It pushes the target out of its current location, creating more space, which is especially useful for spellcasters. Knockback can help players get away from enemies and avoid being attacked by enemies in close range or interrupting spells. Although there are fewer mechanics around Knockback, it can be very important in certain situations, especially when fighting enemies with area attacks.

3. Freeze

Cold damage is a powerful effect that freezes the target. Hitting an enemy with Cold damage can slow their movement speed until they are completely frozen and unable to take any actions. This effect is very useful against fast-moving or high-damage enemies.

When a target takes Cold damage, a freeze icon will appear next to its health bar, showing the enemy’s current freeze progress. When the freeze reaches 100%, the target is completely frozen and cannot make any actions, including attacking or casting skills.

Frozen state is very disadvantageous to enemies because they are exposed to more attacks after being frozen, especially some skills can be more powerful specifically against frozen targets.

For example, Cold Snap from Elemental tree can use the enemy’s frozen state to cause AoE damage. In addition, Fragmentation Rounds from Crossbow tree for Mercenary builds will also consume the target’s frozen state, releasing range attacks to cause AoE damage.

4. Electrocute

In POE 2, certain skills or skills enhanced by Support Gems can trigger Electrocute, which is similar to Stun, but it mainly interrupts the enemy’s actions through Lightning damage and temporarily locks it in place, usually for five seconds, restricting the enemy’s actions.

Electrocute not only interrupts enemy attacks, but is also often triggered with Shock effect, which causes enemies affected by Electrocute to take an additional 20% more damage.

It is worth noting that, unlike Stun, Electrocute can only be triggered if the skill itself supports it or through a specific Support Gem. Therefore, when building a character, players need to evaluate whether it is worth using additional gem slots to trigger Electrocute. In particular, Monks or Sorceresses are very powerful against bosses through a dual Lightning ailment build, which can greatly increase your efficiency in farming PoE 2 Exalted Orbs.

5. Monster-Related Effects

Some monsters have CC effects that can cause players to cannot apply themselves. For example, Drowning effect caused by the water globes cast by River Hags will distort the player’s vision and significantly slow down the player’s movement speed. If the player is drowned for about two seconds, they will die directly.

Besides drowning, monsters that cause elemental damage often have special control effects, such as Freeze or Electrocute. Additionally, Stun is another crowd control effect that all players, especially melee players, must be wary of.

Overall, mastering these crowd control effects and learning to exploit their synergy with skills and passives is key to successfully building a character and taking on high-difficulty challenges.

Path of Exile 2 is known for its deep character building and nearly endless skill combinations, and has a very high reputation among the player community. Although Path of Exile 2 is currently only in early access, it already provides a complete and rich endgame experience, including a challenging ultimate level, powerful boss battles, and rich rewards.

Players need to manage three key resources while exploring and fighting: Life, Mana, and Spirit. Among them, life represents the current health of the character, and mana is used to enhance abilities. These two resources are relatively familiar game mechanics for most players. Spirit is a new resource introduced in PoE 2, and it works differently from the other two resources. Read this guide to learn more details about Spirit.

What Is Spirit?

Spirit is around the player’s mana orb, and is specifically used to activate various passive character effects, including but not limited to powerful buffs such as auras, self-reviving minions, meta gems, etc.

Spirit is used to enhance long-term or permanent abilities, such as permanent minion summons, permanent self-buffs, etc. It is not a resource that automatically regenerates over time after consumption. When a player uses a skill that grants a persistent effect, that skill reserves a certain amount of spirit to prevent it from being used by other skills until the player manually turns off the effect.

The player’s maximum spirit effectively limits the number of passive effects they can have active at once. For example, if your maximum spirit is 100 and you have Skeletal Warrior skill active, and this skill reserves 60 spirit to create a skeletal minion that can be revived upon death, you will only have 40 spirit left to use for any other passive effects.

Even if the skeletal minion is defeated in combat, the 60 spirit originally reserved for it will still be locked until the player actively deactivates the skeletal minion, as its ability to self-revive is considered part of the effect. The Spirit cost of passive effects can be modified by inserting Support Gems.

How To Get More Spirit?

Spirit is an important resource for some builds, especially those that use Spirit to create permanently summoned minions. Despite the relatively scarce sources of Spirit, there are several ways to increase your maximum Spirit. First, defeating the bosses in a specific act is an important way to increase Spirit. Second, specific equipment can also provide players with additional Spirit. Finally, a character’s Ascendancy Class can also increase maximum Spirit.

Spirit In The Acts

In PoE 2’s campaign, each act features a powerful boss. After successfully defeating these bosses, the player will be rewarded with a gem-encrusted skull, which can permanently increase the player’s maximum Spirit by 30 points. During early access, these rewards will still drop when the player passes the Acts at Cruel difficulty for the second time. If the player finds all the rewards, they will obtain 180 Spirit.

The game provides a convenient hint feature on World screen: just hover over each Boss icon with a + to see if you can obtain an item with a Spirit reward by finding and defeating that boss. In addition, sometimes defeating certain bosses will also drop PoE 2 Exalted Orbs, which can be collected and used to unlock the spirit-providing gear mentioned below.

Gear Comes With Extra Spirit

Some equipment comes with extra Spirit, especially scepters, which can increase the player’s maximum spirit by 100 points when equipped, which is almost essential for Minion Witch builds. In addition, some special scepters can also grant players passive effects that do not require any spirit to be retained, such as a free minion or aura effect. Therefore, it is necessary to use POE2 Currency to unlock these scepters as much as possible.

Sun Amulets are also an option to increase spirit. Although the range of spirit values ​​they provide is smaller, usually between 10 and 15 points, these small increases are also very important for players pursuing extreme optimization. In addition, some magic and rare items in the game may come with random roll prefix modifiers, which can increase the spirit provided by the item as a percentage.

Spirit-Increasing Ascendancy Classes

There are two Ascendancy Classes that offer unique ways to increase spirit: the witch’s Infernalist and the monk’s Invoker.

Infernalist Ascendancy offers Beidat’s Will node, which will retain 25% of the player’s health. However, this node also has the significant benefit of providing 1 point of maximum spirit for every 25 maximum life.

In addition, Altered Flesh can help Infernalists offset this vulnerability. When Infernalists take cold, lightning, and physical damage, a portion of that damage will be converted into fire and chaos damage. Regardless of whether they choose the Beidat’s Will node, Infernalists may wish to invest in maximum life or life recovery. This is because their Demon Form or Infernal Flame mechanics may cause damage to themselves.

Invoker Ascendancy offers Lead Me Through Grace... node, which prevents the player from gaining spirit by re-equipping. However, for every 6 Evasion and 15 Energy Shield activations, the player’s body armor will provide 1 Spirit. This can be a source of Spirit for monks. Additionally, Lead Me Through Grace... forms a useful synergy with Protect me from Harm. Protect me from Harm allows the player to utilize Evasion to provide Physical Damage Reduction.

In summary, there are multiple ways to help you increase your maximum Spirit. Understanding and mastering Spirit management is essential to success in PoE 2.
