Buy Path Of Exile 2 Items

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.

Path of Exile 2 Dawn of the Hunt has a lot of new content that players can play for a while. The emergence of the new class and Ascendancy class has disrupted the previous builds rankings, and the new class Huntress quickly replaced Monk.

Classes Evaluation

Before you choose a build, you must first determine the class. At Dawn of the Hunt, I recommend you to play Huntress and Ranger. Currently, both of them are the builds that can cause the most damage. Next are Witch and Sorceress. They can bring a pleasant experience in the early stage of the game, and the damage is also very high in the endgame.

The damage of Monk and Mercenary is not worse than any of the above classes, but their mechanisms are a bit complicated and players need to adapt for a while.

Warrior has excellent survivability, but is not good at causing damage. Therefore, in the endgame, whether it is farming maps or bosses, his efficiency is a bit low, and he also needs to use currency to roll out good modifiers for equipment.

Build Rank Criteria

Because of the freedom of building in POE 2, a criterion is needed to rank builds:

• Damage: Determines the overall damage of builds in high-level maps, making it not only efficient in clearing ordinary monsters, but also capable of dealing with bosses
• Survivability: Since there is a death penalty in the game, the build needs to avoid death and map failure as much as possible.
• Investment: Some builds require specific modifiers or unique items to operate smoothly, which requires players to buy POE 2 currency. Builds that do not require special modifiers and unique items are more popular.

S Tier

• Lightning Spear Amazon Build
• Glacial Lance Deadeye Build
• Spark Blood Mage Build
• Bleed Blood Mage Build
• Cast on Ignite Comet Infernalist Build

Lightning Spear Amazon is one of the most powerful builds currently. With Frenzy Charges, Lightning Spear Amazon can easily cause tens of millions of damage. Lightning Spear Amazon’s skill set is already quite good, so you don’t need to prepare any POE 2 items specifically. If you have a lot of Divine Orbs, you can trade her spear for a Soul Core of Quipolatl.

Glacial Lance Deadeye Build also benefits from Frenzy Charges. Glacial Lance, Combat Frenzy, and Disengage are all related to Frenzy Charge, which makes Deadeye’s DPS very high, but this build requires Thrillsteel Spired Greathelm and Nightscale Pauascale Gloves to increase skill speed and critical strike rate.

Bleed Blood Mage Build has super single-target damage. She can easily kill the boss of a 4-man team on the highest difficulty. In most of time, you can hardly see the boss’s next phase. If you like the one-hit-kill style of play, then you should try Bleed Blood Mage.

A Tier

• Dark Effigy Lich Build
• Slam Bleed Titan Build
• Bleed Bow Deadeye Build
• Ballista Tactician Build
• Storm Wave Invoker Build
• Poison Bleed Rapid Assault Ritualist Build
• Poison Pathfinder Build

S Tier builds can easily pick lv15 maps, while A Tier builds are slightly inferior in output limit, but can also pass normal areas without pressure in the endgame.

Dark Effigy Lich Build does not rely on summons. You can think of it as a caster that mainly deals chaos damage. It can cause large-scale AOE damage and can avoid damage from melee enemies. It can be said to be an attack and defense in one. The disadvantage of this build is that it consumes a lot of mana.

B Tier

• Flaming Smith of Kitava Build
• Lich Necromancer Build
• Bleed Twister Amazon Build
• Thorns Smith of Kitava Build
• Grenadier Gemling Legionnaire Build
• Fire Grenade Witchhunter Build
• Lightning Arrow Deadeye Build

B Tier builds either have low damage caps or very strict gear requirements. If you can’t meet the corresponding requirements, the damage of B Tier builds will be greatly reduced.

Flaming Smith of Kitava Build can deal large-scale damage and has high elemental resistance. However, its disadvantage is that its ability to resist physical damage is relatively weak, and it relies on stuns and stun accumulation.

C Tier

• Warcry Warbringer Build
• Ice Lightning Invoker Build
• Spark Stormweaver Build

C Tier and below builds are in a hard situation in the endgame. They have various problems, such as insufficient survivability, reliance on mana management, and low movement speed. This makes them very easy to die when facing powerful bosses. If you don’t particularly like this build, then it is not recommended to try it.

Leveling Builds

Leveling builds are only needed as a transition in the early campaign. Their own strength is not enough to deal with the content of the endgame, but good leveling builds can make your upgrade faster. The following are recommended leveling builds for each class.

• Strike Warrior Build
• Lightning Ranger Build
• Spark Sorceress Build
• Arsonist Minion Witch Build
• Lightning Mercenary Build
• Lightning Monk Build
• Bleed Huntress Build

The above are the builds worth using in Dawn of the Hunt. They can rely on their powerful damage-making capabilities to allow you to push every map in the endgame.

There are a lot of useless unique items in Path of Exile 2, some of which are even worse than rare items, so they are called the shame of unique items. But if you think all of they are not as good as top rare items, you are wrong.

You need to know which unique items are useful and use them. Even if you don’t need them for the time being, you can use them to exchange for currency.

No.1 Ingenuity Utility Belt

Drops from: King in the Mists (Pinnacle Version)

Effect:

• Increase the rewards obtained by equipping rings by 40-80%.

The benefits of this belt mainly depend on your rings. Fortunately, in POE 2, rings can bring very generous gains to players. They can provide characters with high elemental resistance, or increase the character’s casting speed and mana, etc.

The utility belt, which can increase the effect by about 50%, is already very valuable, but it can still be replaced by other rare belts. The belt that can increase the effect of the ring by 70-80% is more sought after by players.

No.2 Tangletongue Forked Spear

Drops from: Random Enemy Drop

Effect:

• Increases physical damage by 14-18 to 30-36 points.
• Increases critical hit rate by 10-20%.
• Increases intelligence by 15-25.
• Forked critical hit.

10% of skill mana consumption is converted to life consumption.

Tangletongue Forked Spear seems to have a relatively low DPS, but in fact, its main part of increasing damage comes from Forks Critical Hits. This is the best spear for the critical hit school, and almost all Amazon master players have one.

If you want to get this spear, you need to have at least a dozen Divine Orbs, otherwise you need to buy POE 2 currency.

No.3 Olroth’s Resolve Ultimate Life Flask

Drops from: Olroth, Origin of the Fall

Effect:

• Restores life immediately.
• Each use replenishes 100-150% of the charge.
• When restoring excess life, the extra part acts as Guard for 10 seconds.

The biggest use of this unique Life Flask is that it can restore life immediately. Ordinary Life Flasks all slowly restore some of your life over a few seconds, and the amount of restoration is less than Olroth’s Resolve Ultimate Life Flask.

It can restore more than 1,000 of your life in one go, and the excess part will not be wasted and can be converted into Guard. Whether in a boss battle or on a farming map, it can save you from emergencies.

No.4 Sacred Flame Shrine Sceptre

Drops from: Arbiter of Ash

Effect:

• Make 40-60% of your damage as additional fire damage.
• Allies and summons around you gain 20-30% of damage dealt as additional fire damage.
• Allies and summons around you regenerate 2-3% of their maximum health per second.
• All elemental resistances of enemies around you are based on their lowest elemental resistance.

This sceptre is perfect for Witch players, as it increases the fire damage of minions, heals them, and weakens enemy resistance, thus improving the ability of summoned troops all around.

In addition, as a unique sceptre, it can also provide 100 Spirit as a secondary, which can be used in most builds that deal element damage.

No.5 From Nothing Diamond

Drops from: King in the Mists (Pinnacle Version)

Effect:

• Keystone passive skills within a certain radius can be activated without being connected to your talent tree.

This gem allows you to assign a passive node to any location in the passive tree, as long as it is within the range of the keystone that can randomly generate this gem. For nodes outside the gem range, you must link them to your talent tree, and the areas where From Nothing Diamond can be embedded are mainly on the edges of the skill tree.

No.6 The Deepest Tower Spiritbone Crown

Drops from: Random Enemy Drop

Effect:

• Increases armor and energy shield by 70-130%.
• Increases maximum health by 70-100.
• Increases chaos resistance by 17-23%.
• Reduces presence range by 50%.
• Reduces light radius by 10%.
• Monsters in front of you will be treated as low health.

This helmet can be used in conjunction with Execute. The effect of Execute is that you increase damage to low health enemies by 40%. With this helmet, you will be much more efficient in farming POE 2 currency.

No.7 Atziri’s Disdain Gold Circlet

Drops from: Random Enemy Drop in Act 3

Effect:

• Increases maximum mana by 40-60.
• Increases item rarity by 10-20%.
• Damage taken has 20-25% more chance to penetrate energy shields.
• Gain 25-30% of maximum health as additional maximum energy shield.

A unique helmet that is perfect for tanks, Atziri’s Disdain Gold Circlet also increases item rarity, which will help you when you are farming for any item.

No.8 Infernoclasp Plate Belt

Drops from: Random Enemy Drop

Effect:

• Armor Increases by 100-150.
• Strength Increases by 10-20.
• Maximum fire resistance Increases by 3-5%.
• Fire resistance Increases by 30-50%.

This unique belt doesn’t have any fancy effects, it simply provides you with armor and fire resistance, which is why it is particularly useful. In addition, in Dawn Of The Hunt, it is very suitable for Smith of Kitava.

The above are some of the best unique items in Path of Exile 2 at present. They may not be the most valuable, but they are in great demand among players.

Since the release of Path of Exile 2 Dawn of the Hunt, players have had a love-hate relationship with it. It has updated a lot of new content to play, and you and your friends must have had a lot of fun pioneering Dawn of the Hunt, but you must have also been beaten by monsters that are several times stronger.

The unpleasantness of Dawn of the Hunt will soon be improved, and Patch 0.2.1 is coming on May 28. Although this update will not bring any new classes or new Ascendancy, the content of this update is enough to be called a big update.

Uniques And Sockatables

In Patch 0.2.1, players will feel less pressure to complete the build, because the loot drops will be more and better.

Players have long complained about the low drop rate of POE 2 items, and the developers of POE 2 have promised to improve it in the next update. Patch 0.2.1 will not only significantly increase the drop rate of unique items, but will also further rework some of the less-than-good unique items.

Rogue Exiles are special monsters that can provide players with unique items. In the next update, there will be Rogue Exiles with new unique items, and their item drop rate will be tripled!

Besides unique items, Patch 0.2.1 will also add new socket items: 22 Runes, 14 Soul Cores and 7 Talismans, which can bring you crazy boosts, but they are also destined to be very rare, and you may need to buy POE 2 currency to get them.

Endgame

Map

According to the statistics of the developers, the probability of Hidden Grotto appearing in the endgame is quite high. Therefore, in order to avoid players getting repeated game experiences, Patch 0.2.1 will adjust the spawn rate of each map, and you will rarely encounter the situation of repeated maps.

In addition, the spawning of Citadel has also been adjusted. Now, whenever a citadel is spawned on the map, the two other citadels spawned nearby must be different. This will prevent players from entering the same citadel and being unable to get three Crisis Fragments.

Ritual

More changes in Patch 0.2.1 are concentrated in the endgame. First is Ritual, and in this endgame activity, players can sacrifice monsters to the altar, summon powerful enemies, kill them and then continue to sacrifice.

Players can get tributes in this process, and tributes can be exchanged for Ritual rewards. Ritual has many particularly valuable rewards, such as Omens and unique items. These items have a very low probability of appearing, making them particularly valuable. Different Omens can be exchanged for 10 or even 100 Divine Orbs.

Patch 0.2.1 will greatly increase the probability of Omens appearing in rewards, and players will have a chance to get more rare Omens.

Similar changes will be made to Corrupted Essences, which will be 6 times more likely to appear when you use Vaal Orbs on monsters trapped in them!

Twisted Domain

Twisted Domain is a special map related to Breach where players can fight enemies coming from all directions and finally fight the pinnacle boss, Xesht, We That Are One.

In the upcoming update, the monsters in Twisted Domain will change. It will no longer be just the bosses that are valuable. The number of monsters will increase, and their rarity will increase. This will improve the quality of the loot you get, and you will get more unique items and currency, and Breach Rings will appear in them.

Expedition Logbooks

Expedition will receive a major overhaul in Patch 0.2.1. As one of the important activities in the endgame, Expedition is far behind other activities in terms of difficulty and rewards, so the developers have made the following adjustments:

• 1. Increase the distance and radius between explosives, increase the number of monsters appearing, and allow players to kill more monsters.
• 2. Lush Isle area will have Karui Totem Remnants, and the experience points gained from killing monsters will be greatly increased. Players can get a lot of currency items and uncut skill gems in this area.
• 3. In Frigid Bluffs Logbook area, there are frozen monsters and Vaal Items, but the rewards and monsters are not impressive. After the update, some frozen Vaal BOSS will be added, which can be fought and killed.
• 4. Barren Atoll Logbook area will generate 10 times more safes, and the amount of gold in the safes will also become more. Killing monsters in this area will produce 2-4 more runes.

Quality Of Life

The game simplifies the search method of key nodes. You can enter the node in the text box and confirm it, and you will automatically jump to the location of this node on the talent tree. If there are multiple nodes, continue to press Enter to automatically jump.

You can hover the mouse over Atlas map to see the source of the map modifier, which allows players to find specific modifiers.

In short, the main update direction of Patch 0.2.1 is to improve the player’s experience. Players can more easily get various resources, shortening the time required for player growth, and it can be seen that the developers have indeed listened to the feedback of players.

Witch in Path of Exile 2 is very similar to Necromancer in Diablo 4, both of which use minions to bulldoze enemies. However, builds that rely on summons have a common problem, which it’s that if they lose the protection of the summons, they will become very weak.

Therefore, players who choose to summon minions should know which are the strongest summons, otherwise you will waste your Spirit.

No.1 Bind Spectre Minions

Bind Spectre is the latest Skill Gem added in Dawn of the Hunt. It allows you to capture the souls of slain monsters and resurrect them as your minions.

Its actual power lies in its rich selection, summoning some of the most powerful allies in the game, who can act as your damage dealers or supporters.

You don’t need to buy POE 2 currency for it, because Bind Spectre can be obtained through normal Uncut Skill Gems.

Here are the recommended spectres:

DPS Spectres

• Vaal Guard (Grenade): 50 Spirit, located in Utzaal
• Priest of the Sun: 100 Spirit, located in Temple of Kopec
• Doryani’s Elite (Lightning): 70 Spirit, located in The Black Chambers
• Quill Crab: 40 Spirit, located in Untainted Paradise

Support Spectres

• Azak Fledgling: 50 Spirit, located in The Azak Bog
• Venomous Crab: 40 Spirit, located in Hunting Grounds
• Vaal Embalmed Bearer: 60 Spirit, located in The Molten Vault
• Serpent Shaman: 100 Spirit, located in Keth
• Ribrattle: 40 Spirit, located in Freythorn
• Gargoyle Demon: 100 Spirit, located in The Manor Ramparts

No.2 Skeletal Brute

These towering Skeletal Brute are designed for defense, with powerful attacks that can destroy most well-prepared enemies, and it takes 51 Spirit to use this skill.

They are good at locking threats and absorbing attacks. However, because of their colossal size, they sometimes linger in narrow entrances and cannot enter accurately, which slows down their movement in small spaces.

No.3 Skeletal Cleric

Several Skeletal Clerics can effectively relieve the pressure on your army of minions and maintain the survival of all skeletons. They will provide solid healing support for other skeletons. Even better, they can also revive fallen skeletons in battle to keep your army constantly replenished, but they will not cause any damage, so don’t arrange too many Skeletal Clerics in your team.

No.4 Skeletal Frost Mage

Skeletal Frost Mage is the summon that Witch relies on most when farming currency. They can freeze enemies with freezing attacks and have powerful crowded control capabilities. Their Ice Bomb skill has a large area of effect, and not only does it deal a lot of damage, but it also applies a freezing effect, slowing down all enemies in the blast radius. Their weakness is the same as that of Mage, which is that they are a bit fragile.

You can even build around Skeletal Frost Mage, but you will need to use Jeweler’s Orb to open new slots for Skeletal Frost Mage to accommodate more Support Gems.

Here are the required Support Gems:

• Arcane Tempo
• Scattershot
• Feeding Frenzy
• Wildshards
• Cold Mastery

No.5 Skeletal Reaver

Skeletal Reavers have high attack damage and can be commanded to enter Rage state to further increase their damage output. In this state, they will constantly sacrifice some health points. Therefore, you need a Skeletal Cleric to constantly replenish their status.

Regardless, they are still easy to die, leaving gaps in your undead army’s defense. If you are looking for efficiency in farming currency, then these are the best choice.

No.6 Skeletal Arsonist

Skeletal Arsonists add powerful firepower to your minion army by using Explosive Demise skill, detonating low-health minions for massive damage. They can turn your dead minions into walking bombs. However, they will deplete your minion count, so if you need more defense, try to summon them as little as possible.

No.7 Skeletal Sniper

Skeleton Snipers are deadly and taking little Spirit. They fire piercing arrows that tear through enemies, and can be ordered to use Gas Cloud, which covers the battlefield with a flammable poisonous cloud, causing continuous damage, and then ignites enemies for a violent explosion.

The downside of Skeletal Snipers is that they don’t have enough instant damage, but they are great for early Witch transitions.

No.8 Skeletal Storm Mage

Skeletal Storm Mage is similar to Skeletal Frost Mage, but their Death Storm can only summon a lightning area effect on dead skeletons. It’s powerful, but it depends on the specific situation and requires some dead allies to really work.

They complement Skeletal Frost Mage, making the damage more diverse in the team.

No.9 Skeletal Warrior

Skeletal Warrior is your melee powerhouse, providing reliable frontline support with its powerful slashing attack. They are good at absorbing attacks and keeping the enemy busy - but they can’t resist powerful elite enemies in the later stages.

No.10 Zombies

Raise Zombie’s Zombies require corpses to summon them. They are tough, powerful, and do not consume Spirit, making them a good economic choice. However, they don’t survive for long, and if you encounter an environment without corpses, you will be helpless.

There are not many different kinds of followers in Path of Exile 2 at present, but they are enough for you to level up and farm currency steadily in the early stages of the game. As the game progresses, the more powerful your minions are, the better your gaming experience will be!
