In Path of Exile 2, the developers have revived their series of build presentations on YouTube. The new build they are showcasing does not rely on attacks at all and even eliminates your enemies while you are AFK.
What kind of build is this? The developers of Path of Exile 2 continuously present character builds from the community on their YouTube channel. The “Reflect” Pathfinder build by user KallTorak has now been presented by the developers.
The build is characterized by the fact that as a player, you do not have to do anything to eliminate nearby enemies. With this build, you can simply walk through the levels and eliminate any enemy, including bosses on the highest difficulty, without any effort.
Here you can watch the trailer for the new season Dawn of the Hunt:
Achieving Goals with Ice and Poison
How does the build work? To deal damage to your enemies without using attacks or other active skills, you need the buff “Arctic Armour,” which deals cold damage to any of your enemies who attack you with melee attacks.
To make this buff your main source of damage, you need the unique gloves “Plaguefinger Gauze Wraps.” These ensure that you poison your enemies with the “Arctic Armour” buff.
According to the developers, you should invest in skills in the skill tree that provide you with more cold damage and poison magnitude to increase your damage.
However, to attack not only melee fighters with your poison, you need another buff, the “Herald of Plague,” which transfers the poison from defeated enemies to nearby foes. This quickly leads to a mass outbreak that infects your entire field of vision.
According to the devs, this buff should be further enhanced with the support skill “Bursting Plague.” This support skill increases damage to up to 10 % of your enemies’ life points per second and causes them to explode upon death, dealing damage to nearby enemies as well.
What does the defense look like? To deal damage to your enemies, you have to let yourself get hit. This also means that you need enough defense to survive.
This build, like many others, relies on energy shield and the node “Mind over Matter,” which consumes your mana before your life points. Since this build does not use active skills, it does not require any mana. You can find a detailed guide for the build on maxroll.gg
How good is the build? According to the developers, you can defeat even the toughest enemies at the highest difficulty levels with this build. However, the harder your enemies are, the longer it may take, and often an active skill as an attack would be a faster option. However, the developers themselves say: “But where’s the fun in that?”
Path of Exile 2 thrives on extraordinary builds that provide a lot of fun outside the meta by creatively overcoming even the toughest challenges. However, for a build that is likely much more effective, you only need to press 2 buttons: Player plays Path of Exile 2 for almost 1,000 hours, only needs to press 2 buttons for their build
