Best PoE Builds - Odealo's Crafty Guides Full List
[Current Patch: 3.23]

Designing your own character in Path of Exile is one of the most interesting aspects of the entire game. With multiple character classes, each with its unique stats and passives, you end up with thousands of possible build options. Unlike your usual Action RPG games, you are not limited to just a few specific build options with each class, but you can bend the boundaries at will (with just a few exceptions). This combined with a complex Skill and Support Gem system makes Path of Exile such an intriguing title when it comes to Builds and character customization.

It's pretty much impossible for a single player to know and understand all the potential Item and Skill synergies in the game, so as a group of experienced Path of Exile players we have decided to make our own Build Guides for Path of Exile to give you access to all the best builds currently available. On top of that, we are regularly updating the builds according to the newest patches and content updates. All our build guides listed below include each build's overview, leveling tips, pros & cons, Passive Trees, recommended items, and detailed Skill Gem setups. Furthermore, all the builds listed below can be grouped into several main Build Archetypes (that we have described in the following article: Types of Builds in Path of Exile: all major archetypes explained. All builds have been also evaluated in terms of their estimated budget, single-target (Boss) DPS, AoE, and clear speed, as well as, defenses. We hope you can find our Guides informative and they will help you get through the most complex part of the game. We are always open to suggestions and feedback so you can leave it in the comment section below this article, as well as, each specific Guide on our website.
