In Path of Exile 2, a gamer has found a build that initially appears to be incredibly strong. However, the creator themselves does not want you to play it.
What kind of build is this? In PoE2, there are various powerful builds that can become really mighty thanks to creative combinations of skills and items. One player has equipped their mercenary in such a way that with a single shot from the crossbow, they can take down entire hordes of enemies.
While the build looks impressive, its creator now warns other adventurers against replicating it.
Have you already heard about this useful NPC in Path of Exile 2?
Caution: Glass Cannon
Why does he warn about his own build? On Reddit, the OP’s build garnered significant interest, as taking out hordes of enemies with a powerful explosion likely appeals to many monster hunters. Users like Shwaazi express their enthusiasm on Reddit: “Where is this build? I want it so badly.”
Here you can take a look at the gameplay yourself:
However, the creator of the build does not want to share it even upon request and even advises against replicating the character. In a comment under his post, he explains the reason.
The build is referred to as a so-called meme build. He explains on Reddit: “I have zero defense, I only get one shot [before the character is taken down], I fight against map bosses in 20 seconds. If I shoot and the enemy does not die, then I die.”
The character is thus a glass cannon that can deal a lot of damage but can take very little damage. The creator summarizes that the build is “not practical for regular play.” This could also explain why the video has many cuts, as the build seems to work really well only in certain situations.
What makes the build so strong? Like many other “OP builds,” this build also relies on the skill “Herald of Ice,” which can trigger large explosions by freezing and taking down enemies simultaneously, creating a chain reaction.
Ice skills are among the strongest abilities in Path of Exile 2. Especially beginners can benefit from the frozen enemies. If you’re looking for a new build, why not try out the Ice Sorceress: Path of Exile 2: Beginner Build lets you freeze the battlefield as a Sorcerer
