Path Of Exile 2 Witch Endgame Minion Army Infernalist: What To Note When Playing This Build?

The biggest news in the current MMORPG landscape is that both Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2, two games often compared to each other, are releasing new content this month, but Path of Exile 2 is likely to be the most discussed.

Partly, this is because Diablo 4 only released PTR for the next season, while Path of Exile 2 released a brand new patch, 0.3.0, and a new league, The Third Edict. Furthermore, the 0.2.0 patch added to the sequel in April significantly reduced existing content with the introduction of the new Huntress class, leaving many players frustrated and even giving up.

Whether players have already tried Path of Exile 2 or are simply waiting to see what’s next, everyone is eagerly anticipating the changes and impact of this new patch. Patch 0.3.0 is scheduled to officially release on August 29, 2025, at 1:00 PM PDT, and the developers recently released a new teaser image.

While the developers will typically hold a livestream a few days before the patch’s release (August 20, 1:00 PM PDT) to detail the new content and new formats, for those curious, here’s a brief overview of what’s coming in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.3.0, based on that teaser image and some leaked information from the community.

New Acts

While Path of Exile 2 is still in Early Access, the release of the previous major patch and the emergence of the Dawn of the Hunt league have dampened expectations for a full release. Players are even considering the current game content as the final version and are urging the developers to release the remaining acts as soon as possible.

In a previous interview, game director Jonathan Rogers talked about Act 4 in detail, and introduced that the overall story will be set on a Karui-themed island on Ngamakanui. The challenge difficulty will be slightly higher than the first three acts, but the rewards, such as POE 2 Currency and the quantity and quality of arable loot will also be higher.

In addition, in this act, players may also be infected with the blood fever disease possessed by the indigenous people of the island and fight against all enemies. This will test the player’s control and calculation of elemental resistance and damage ability during the production and construction process, which is especially challenging for players using Monks and Warriors.

Although the developers have not explicitly stated it, the appearance of a new Act must indicate that there will be some new bosses for players to challenge, and its appearance and combat mechanics have been leaked. However, this is not an oversight by the staff, but a boss challenge provided by Path of Exile 2 at Cologne Gamescom in Germany.

In this boss challenge, players need to choose from 7 preset character builds and complete the challenge with 15 bosses, which requires you to complete the battle with the previous boss to open the arena with the next boss.

Most of these 15 bosses have never appeared in this sequel, these are likely the bosses added in the 0.3.0 patch. According to some player feedback, the bosses are very scary, even creepy. Some of them are very large and have very high health points, so the challenge may become very high.

However, this is also in line with the developers’ setting for POE 2: a sequel that is much more difficult than the original. Based on the previous Acts, it is very likely that the next three acts of the game will contain three bosses or even five bosses in one act.

New Class

Many players speculated that the new class option coming in Path of Exile 2’s 0.3.0 patch would be Druid, because Jonathan stated in a previous public interview that the developers were working on a Druid better suited to the sequel’s content. With the patch less than a week away, they should theoretically be ready.

As for whether there will be a situation where new classes are added while existing content is weakened as in the previous patch, the game director said very sincerely that it will not happen again. He will even balance the construction options of each class as much as possible in the 0.3.0 patch so that players can have a more comfortable experience.

In addition, there is another class that may appear in POE 2 and has a foreshadowing, which is Shadow. In the trailer of Supporter pack recently released for Path of Exile 1, Shadow was revealed for a second, but the setting style it contains is very similar to that in the sequel and the background is like Clearfell contained in Act 1 of POE 2, which makes everyone speculate that the developers may want to test players’ acceptance of Shadow through the trailer of the original game.

New Endgame

The new Endgame introduced here doesn’t mean the developers are completely remaking Endgame content. Rather, it’s adding some brand new maps and making some adjustments to address player complaints about the game’s lack of depth. Details of the new maps’ appearance and mechanics will probably be revealed during the developer livestream in a few days.

Here are some of the changes that Endgame may be facing. The first is the increase in loot. Although some changes have been made to this in previous patches, they have not satisfied players. This time, the developers have directly promised to make players’ exploration in Endgame more profitable, including increasing the chance of pinnacle bosses dropping unique loot.

In addition, the developers are also trying to introduce some new events and mechanisms to make the game content with a high degree of challenge less predictable and more attractive to players. However, from my personal point of view, this approach is likely to be counterproductive, because the exploration risk and investment risk involved are increased.

However, the specific implementation will have to wait until the official release of patch 0.3.0. In addition, the developers have also addressed some issues with some classes’ builds during this battle, such as reducing the survivability and combat capabilities of the summoned armies in the minion build; and providing more weapon options for melee builds, so that players can create more build possibilities.

These are the details of what Path of Exile 2 will include in patch 0.3.0, scheduled for release on August 29th, based on leaks and developer announcements.

Although the previous patch of this sequel dealt a heavy blow to players, it’s worth affirming that the developers have clearly recognized their mistakes, and the sincerity contained in the 0.3.0 patch is relatively high. So if you are a player who gave up on it before, why not give it another chance? I wish you a happy game!

The release date of Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.3.0 has been announced! The current patch was released in early April, and the next patch was released on August 29th, which is almost 5 months!

Nevertheless, it is still exciting, because each update of Path of Exile 2 always adds enough new content to the game. Although it is still far from the end of the main campaign of the game, new unique items, new POE 2 currency, and even new classes and new maps are enough to keep players playing for a while. Let’s have a look at what the developers talked about the new content of 0.3.0.

New League

The developers have confirmed that a major update will be released every 4 months, which is a new league. While bringing new items, everything will be reset. You can only use Path of Exile 2 items in the new league if you create a new character in the new league, and characters in the standard mode can no longer use items in the new league, which differs from Dawn Of The Hunt.

The developer said that the new league will have new crafting options, new combat mechanisms and new bosses, but your old characters cannot experience these contents. However, after the league ends, the new content in the league will be integrated into the standard mode, and your character in the new league will be moved to the standard mode.

Class Balance

Jonathan, the producer of Path of Exile 2, talked a lot about Patch 0.3.0 in an interview in China, including many class balance issues of player relations.

Jonathan did not reveal which skills would be weakened, but he said that most of the uncommon skills would be enhanced. They will count the skills with the lowest usage rate and strengthen or even rework them to ensure that every skill of each class can be used. I hope they can really do this, because players of Patch 0.2.1 have had enough of Lightning Spear Amazon.

In addition, Jonathan said that they are adjusting the AI of summons so that they can find paths more intelligently. The aura and damage of summons will also be adjusted, so that summons will not die so easily when encountering bosses in narrow areas.

In terms of weapon speed, the attack speed of one-handed weapons will greatly exceed that of two-handed weapons to show the difference between the two types of weapons. The attack speed of weapons is spear> sword> axe> mace, and the slower the attack speed, the higher the damage.

Passive skills will be more important, and the attribute improvements got by the character will come more from the passive skill tree, and the number of Jewel-sockets will be reduced.

Campaign

Jonathan did not reveal whether there will be a fourth act in 0.3.0, but he said that the current campaign mode of the game will be removed soon, which is normal + cruel. This way of letting players pass the first three acts twice is really very consuming of players’ patience.

After removing this mode, players can reach the endgame faster and then farm. And the player’s upgrade speed will become faster, and players can reach the maximum level more easily.

Trading System

Jonathan also mentioned that a large part of the players of Path of Exile 2 care about something very much, the economic system. The economic system of Path of Exile series may not be the best, but it is definitely the most complex and has the greatest impact on the game.

In order to avoid inflation in the game, gold will also be involved in currency transactions, and gold will be bound to the player. This does not mean that you can directly buy POE 2 currency with gold. On the contrary, because gold is bound to the player, you can basically only get gold through farming.

He mentioned that he is making a new, simpler and more convenient trading system, but we don’t know how this system will work yet. Players very want an auction house actually because it can simplify many trading-related operations.

Endgame

The current endgame map set lacks variety and is a bit boring to play. In 0.3.0, players will encounter more encounters on the map and get more rewards.

The game will continue to add pinnacle bosses to provide players with real challenges and powerful rewards. Jonathan said they are considering re-adjusting the operation of the endgame maps, and 0.3.0 will not change much.

UI And Quality Of Life

The first is the improvement of the pause. In the next patch, you can hover the mouse over the monster after pausing to view the exact DPS when you pause the game, so that you can accurately adjust your arrangement.

The developer also said that the special effects will be optimized so that players can see their skills clearly in multiplayer games, and avoid the special effects of their skills covering the enemy’s attack range, causing themselves to fail to dodge the attack.

Jonathan also talked about many exciting topics in the interview, such as the new POE 2 currency, new production methods, etc., but he did not reveal that players can play Druids in 0.3.0. But Patch 0.2.0 brought a new class, and Patch 0.3.0 must at least have a substantial update. If it is not a Druid, then perhaps Act 4.

Path of Exile always follows a very strict equipment drop mechanism. The equipment dropped by monsters is usually not satisfactory, so players need to collect various currencies to modify equipment and make it useful. However, since the effect of currency is full of randomness, an excellent base will become worthless under the change of random effects.

Players can also directly use currency to trade their crafted items with other players, but this means that players must pay more currency. In any case, currency is very important. POE 3.26 brings a new unique item to the game, so is there a way to farm POE Divine and other currencies in 3.26?

1. Atlas Tree: Destructive Play

The first farming method requires you to add Destructive Play keystone in Atlas Tree. Its function is to make 1 to 3 additional random bosses appear on the map. The fewer monsters in the map, the more bosses will appear.

This strategy does not require you to use scarabs, but your build needs to do high single-target damage and high movement speed. These will allow you to deal with the bosses that appear on the map faster and move to the next map.

Note that some maps have negative buffs that may slow down your speed of defeating monsters. It is very important to choose the right map.

2. Legion Dunes

Dune in Legion is a very rich map. Its map is open and monsters can spawn everywhere. It is the fastest map for players to farm. You can choose Atlas nodes such as Logistical Support or Constant Battle to further increase your income in this map. In addition, you can also run Delirium Mirror activities on this map, which are all excellent choices.

Incubators and Scarabs can increase your income. This map drops more currency and unique items.

Recommended Incubators:

• Cartographer’s Incubator
• Diviner’s Incubator (Priority)
• Foreboding Incubator
• Geomancer’s Incubator
• Infused Incubator
• Kalguuran Incubator
• Ornate Incubator (Priority)
• Skittering Incubator

Recommended Scarabs:

• Legion Scarab
• Legion Scarab of Command
• Legion Scarab of The Sekhema
• Legion Scarab of Eternal Conflict

Scarabs can increase your income on the map and can be said to be a must for farming the map. Before you start farming, you can trade some scarabs with POE Divine Orbs or Chaos Orbs.

3. Low Tier Masters

This is a relatively simple gameplay but requires you to use your brain. You first need to make the following three masters appear more frequently on the map in Atlas Tree node, and then complete the tasks they give you.

• Alva, Master Explorer
• Jun, Veiled Master
• Einhar, Beastmaster

You need to prepare Bestiary Scarab of the Herd and Betrayal Scarab in advance, both of which are scarabs with low value.

4. Kingsmarch

Kingsmarch has been greatly changed in 3.26, and it has become a reliable source of currency farming. You just need to farm on different maps and then transport the resources you find back to the town to participate in trade.

Every time a merchant ship successfully arrives at the port, you can get various rewards such as currency, unique items, etc. To maximize the resources you get, you need to use the following scarabs:

• Kalguuran Scarab of Refinement
• Kalguuran Scarab
• Sulphite Scarab
• Harvest Scarab of Doubling/Torment Scarab of Possession

5. Harbinger

Harbinger has always been one of the effective ways to farm currency because Harbinger will drop a variety of currency fragments. And every time Harbinger appears, there will be many rare monsters appearing together. Choose the following scarabs to maximize your farming benefits:

• Harbinger Scarab
• Harbinger Scarab of Regency
• Harbinger Scarab of Obelisks
• Harbinger Scarab of Warhoard

Choosing this farming strategy requires your build to create excellent AOE damage and be able to recover quickly when it falls into an abnormal state.

6. Normal T16 Maps

Path of Exile maps are divided into four qualities: normal, magic, rare, and unique. They are also divided into three difficulty levels, and T16 maps are top-level maps. Although the T 16.5 reward group is the most generous, Normal T16 Maps are easier to get and more convenient to farm.

Your farming targets in this section are Essence, Betrayal, and Heist. You don’t need to invest too many items, but you can get a lot of rewards quickly.

Scarabs you need:

• Betrayal Scarab of Reinforcements
• Essence Scarab
• Essence Scarab of Stability
• Essence Scarab of Ascent

7. Kirac Missions

You need to get red level missions, or unique missions, in Kirac. You can get great rewards from these missions, such as Harvest Beasts, Essences and even Untainted Paradise unique map.

You can get 5 Kirac missions by using Primal Cystcaller Recipe (red beast variant) and kill Primal Cystcaller.

Kirac’s unique missions are as follows:

• Einhar’s Memory of the Sacred Grove
• Einhar’s Memory of Crystal Prisons
• Einhar’s Memory of Harvest Beasts
• Niko’s Memory of Chasms
• Niko’s Memory of Grasping Hands
• Niko’s Memory of Tormented Souls
• Alva’s Memory of Reverse Incursion
• Kirac’s Memory of Survivor’s Guilt
• Kirac’s Memory of Phaaryl
• Kirac’s Memory of the Pantheon

The above are some strategies for farming currency in 3.26. Each strategy has different efficiency, but each is suitable for different players. Choose the strategy that suits you best and you will soon be able to reap the rewards.

POE 3.26 injects vitality into this game at once, and you can still believe in the charm of this series. The rich and diverse skill combinations and unique items form a rich builds combination, giving players a sense of satisfaction to harvest monsters in different ways. As for Road to Exile 2, let’s throw this monster aside with a high value, low drop of items, and only Lightning Spear Amazon build.

The update of POE 3.26 has adjusted all aspects such as skills and monster resistance, and has added a lot of new unique items, which has led to a change in the strength of the build. So what powerful builds are there in this league?

1. Lightning Arrow Deadeye Build

The iconic skill of this build is Lightning Arrow and Artillery Ballista. It quickly cleans up any monsters with a high-speed bow.

You can use this build at the beginning, it cleans up the map very quickly. If it is just dealing with ordinary monsters, Lightning Arrow is completely enough. If it is dealing with bosses, it is to summon Artillery Ballistas, and while allowing the crossbow to shoot, it is constantly moving and attacking with Lightning Arrow.

The disadvantage is that it relies more on equipment, or more on weapons. You need high critical strikes and high attack speeds. Secondly, this build is very fragile, so you need to keep moving to avoid being attacked. If it is a new player, maybe he dies a few times while dealing with the boss.

2. Volcanic Fissure Of Snaking Berserker Build

Volcanic Fissure Of Snaking Berserker Build is a very violent build, and it has not been much of a change compared to the previous version. He can carry out multiple fatal blows on the enemy and constantly explode under his feet, causing fire damage.

And this build also has high blood-sucking ability, which allows him to act as a tank. The disadvantage is that it may not see the ground clearly because of constant explosions. Second, it is not that powerful when facing the boss that restricts blood sucking.

3. Poison Concoction Pathfinder Build

If you like toxins and don’t have too many POE Divine Orbs, then Poison Concoction Pathfinder build is perfect for you. You don’t have to worry about not being able to deal with elite enemies. As long as you keep throwing your poison bottle, your toxins will help you deal with all enemies except the boss.

4. Summon Raging Spirits Necromancer Build

This build is the favorite of all players who love summoning gameplay. You can start to build it at level 8. Your summoning objects can help you solve most of the things. You just need to follow them and pick up POE currency and other items.

This build is new to be friendly and is enough to melt the boss, the downside is that it takes a little time to accumulate damage and does not have much defense. If your equipment is poor, some bosses with large-scale attacks may destroy all your summons in one go.

5. Eviscerate Bleed Gladiator Build

This build is also a low-budget build. You can buy POE currency or items to increase its damage. Of course, the weapons and items which you find yourself, are not inoperable.

The advantage is that he can withstand high damage and farms very quickly, but the disadvantage is that he plays bosses a bit slowly, and has many buttons, which are slow.

6. Explosive Arrow Ballista Build

This is a build with multiple attack methods, and you can use crossbow arrows, traps, or explosions to create damage, and it also can penetrate elements.

This build mainly produces fire damage, and its advantage is that it is very powerful. Whether you have many Divine orbs or not, there are equipment suitable for you, but the damage limit will be different. The disadvantage is that the gameplay is relatively difficult and is not suitable for all players.

7. Poison Concoction Slayer Build

This build uses the life stealing of slayer and toxin scaling. By maximizing chaos damage, use a fatal blow to hit high explosions.

It is actually quite good in terms of survivability. As long as the boss cannot kill you instantly, you can rely on the blood recovery skill to recover. So this build has excellent performance whether it is dealing with bosses or farming maps.

8. Ice Shot Miner Deadeye Build

Bows and arrows have always been one of the most satisfying ways to play, and this build uses Ice Shot to slow the enemy down and has excellent single-body damage. When dealing with monsters, it uses the ballista totem paired with Barrage, which also has a satisfactory performance.

In terms of survivability, this build has the same common problem as other bow and arrow builds, and the amount of health is very low, so you need to frequently use dodge to avoid attacks and use blood recovery to recover your life.

Another disadvantage is that this build has high equipment requirements. If a good bow and arrow cannot be dropped from the monster’s drop, you have to use POE Divine Orbs to exchange for a good three-element rare bow.

9. Vortex Of Projection Archmage Hierophant Build

This is a very classic mage build that can produce satisfactory cold damage and has plenty of manas to maintain your shield and cast.

The advantage of this build is that as a Hierophant, you can have good AOE damage and also can survive provided by the energy shield. The disadvantage is that it does not move fast enough, is a bit bulky, and is also more dependent on equipment.

10. Ground Slam of Earthshaking Slayer Build

This is a melee AOE, which has a very fast attack speed, and it can trigger range damage by quickly attacking the enemy in front of you, so the farming is at high speed.

This build is very survivable, and its exorbitant amount of armor and powerful life stealing makes it almost impossible to avoid the boss’s skills. Its gameplay is very simple, and even new players can easily master it. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to acquire weapons and equipment.

The above are the several builds recommended in the Path of Exile 3.26. They all perform well in the endgame, and of course they also have some shortcomings. You can choose the build according to your preferences.

One of the biggest features of PoE 3.26 is the mercenary system, which players can hire by challenging and defeating mercenaries. Each mercenary has his own class, skills and equipment, and they will undoubtedly become your important helpers.

Although each mercenary has his own equipment, their gears are not very powerful, but fortunately players can manually change their gears, so what POE items are more suitable for these mercenaries?

Main Weapon

In the choice of main weapon, you can choose weapons for mercenaries that can either provide auxiliary aura effects or control monsters, slowing them down or weakening their elemental resistance.

Some unique items that have negative effects themselves but can protect allies are also great choices, such as Sign of the Sin Eater. Before, perhaps no one was willing to exchange for this unique item with his POE Divine Orb, but now it is one of the most suitable equipment for mercenaries.

Sign Of The Sin Eater

• Matua Tupuna: Increases the effect of the mercenary’s auras. Slows when blocking.
• Victario’s Charity: Increases the AOE range of the mercenary’s aura. Allows nearby allies to gain Frenzy Charge when attacking. Grants nearby allies Power Charge on kill.

• The Anticipation: Allows your mercenary to always be Intimidated by enemies.

Helmet

Helmets are also unique items, but it does not mean that you have to prepare all the perfect equipment for your mercenaries. Your POE currency is mainly used to improve yourself. If you get the following unique items during farming, don’t rush to turn them into Divine Orbs. You can check whether they are suitable for your mercenaries first.

• Crown of the Tyrant: Deals fixed damage to the enemy. Also reduces all resistances of nearby enemies by 10%.
• Ylfeban’s Trickery: Applies a random curse to the enemy when hit.

The remaining equipment has similar effects. They can increase the mercenary’s resistance while providing you with benefits and trapping the enemy in various debuffs.

Amulet

• Shaper’s Seed
• Perquil’s Toe

• The Untouched Soul
• Xoph’s Heart

The above are the most suitable equipment for mercenaries. They can form a wonderful combination with you, but you have to allocate equipment according to the attributes of the mercenaries. In addition, you must remember to take off their equipment when you dismiss them, otherwise they will take away your equipment worth hundreds of Divine orbs, and disappear forever.

Path of Exile 2 0.2.1 has been officially released. Besides the new currency and runes, the most noteworthy are the 9 new unique items. So what do these new unique items do? Can they appear in the player’s endgame builds?

1. Constricting Command Viper Cap

• Increases (80–120) to maximum Life
• Increases (10–15) to all Attributes
• Increases (8–12) Life per second
• Pin Enemies (when the target is Primed for Pin)

This item is obviously not very valuable, because it is not too difficult to Pin enemies in the game, and its unique effect is not very meaningful. But it can provide the character with maximum health and all attributes, and you can use it as your transition equipment.

2. Mind Of The Council Death Mask

• Increased 60–90% Evasion and Energy Shield
• Increased 60–90 to maximum Mana
• Increased 20–30% to Lightning Resistance
• Each attack costs an additional 6% of your maximum mana
• Each attack adds Lightning damage equal to 6–9% of your maximum mana

This unique item has great potential. If you are a Monk or Huntress, this unique mask can significantly increase your damage, and all you need is to stack maximum mana.

If you don’t need this unique item, I believe there will be other players willing to trade it for POE 2 Divine Orb.

3. Lioneye’s Glare Heavy Bow

• Increased 150–240% Physical Damage
• Increased 300–500 to Accuracy Rating
• Increased 10% Attack Speed
• Increased 20–30 to Dexterity
• If you haven’t Dodge Rolled recently, the next distance is increased by 2 meters
• If you have Dodge Rolled recently, the next distance is reduced by 1 meter
• Attack with this bow, and it repeats +1 times if there are no enemies around (default radius of 4 meters)

This unique item obviously increases your base damage and allows you to continue attacking as long as the enemy is standing 4 meters away from you. This is a powerful unique item, but it is not without alternatives. It is currently rarely used in top builds, and its potential is still untapped.

4. Murkshaft Toxic Quiver

• Gives Skill: Level 16 Bursting Fen Toad
• 10–15% chance to Poison Targets on Hit with Attacks
• Adds 6 to 17 Physical Damage per attack
• get 10–15 Mana per Enemy Killed
• Increases Poison Duration by 10–20%
• Increases chance to Poison on Hit with Attacks by 20–30%
• Blind enemies when you Poison them

This is a cool unique item that summons a poison frog that jumps into a monster pile and explodes when you make a kill. It doesn’t work when you’re dealing with bosses, but it’s really useful when you’re in a dungeon or tower.

5. The Last Lament Desolate Crossbow

• Grants Skill: Level 13 Requiem
• Increased 250–300% Physical Damage
• Increased 10–20% Attack Speed
• Leech 5–10% of Physical Damage converted to health
• 10–20% chance to add an arrow to your crossbow skill on killing
• When you have no arrows, consume 300 health to add an arrow
• Reduced 40–60% Reload Speed

This is an absolutely insane unique item that provides high base damage and gives you nearly unlimited arrows. The most extreme is the Level 13 Requiem, which provides 400% attack speed and up to 900% base attack boost.

If you use Lich, this can be used as a weapon for your endgame build. It is hard to drop, and you can buy POE 2 Divine Orb and trade it with other players.

6. The Whispering Ice Permafrost Staff

• Grants Skill: Level 17 Heart of Ice
• Grants Skill: Level 17 Icestorm
• Increases 2–4 to Level of all Cold Spell Skills
• Reduces Cast Speed by 10–20%
• Increases Intelligence by 5–15%
• Spell damage increased by 10 points of Intelligence
• Attacks cause Cold Exposure on hit, reducing the target’s total cold resistance by 20–30%

This is also a very interesting unique item, and you can use it to create a very interesting build. Its two skills slow nearby enemies by 60%, and you can farm in a very safe position.

7. Cadiro’s Gambit Primed Quiver

• Increases Attack Speed by 7–10%
• Each Arrow fired could be a Crescendo, Diamond, Splinter, Covetous, Reversing, or Blunt Arro

This is a very useful unique item for every player who uses bow, and all the arrows you shoot have a special effect. No matter what stage you get it, it can be used for something.

8. Adonia’s Ego Siphoning Wand

• Grants Skill: Level 4 Power Siphon
• Grants Skill: Level 15 Pinnacle of Power
• Increases Maximum Mana by 100–150
• Increases the level of all Spell Skills by 3
• Increased Cast Speed by 15–30%
• Reduced 10% to all Elemental Resistances every Power Charge
• (-1–1) to Maximum Power Charges

This is a very versatile Wand that consumes Power Charges to increase your elemental damage and reduce the elemental resistance of your enemies. As long as you stack Power Charges, you can get a pretty scary damage increase.

9. Palm Of The Dreamer Shrine Sceptre

• Grants Skill: Level 8 Impurity
• Adds extra Chaos Damage to allies you are with
• Increases all your attributes by 7–13
• Light Radius reduced by 23%
• Skill duration reduced
• Gain 27% of damage as extra Chaos Damage
• Gain Dreaming Gloom Shrine effect (killed enemies explode, dealing 25% of their maximum health to nearby enemies)

This unique item is really crazy because of Dreaming Gloom Shrine effect. With this effect, you can almost instantly clear half the screen of monsters, and it’s worth a lot of Divine Orbs on the market.

Most of the 9 new items are very powerful, and some can even greatly improve your endgame experience. But given the low item drops in POE 2, you may have to farm for a long time in the endgame map to get these new unique items.
