With guns, you can get the gunner passive for faster reloads, but currently reload time is bugged so I would avoid duel-wielding guns until that is fixed. Weapons: Club (only against high will enemies, due to modal, otherwise avoid melee) and either bows or guns. Picking no subclass I think is pretty reasonable option if you don't like the ghost pets) Stalker can have issues with the range limitation being anti-synergistic with ranger accuracy passives likes marksman and the general goal of being as far away from enemies as possible. You would rather spend your "bond" power source on things that help build your focus so you don't want to waste your "bond" on healing your pet and you really don't want the accuracy penalty if it should die making this subclass perfect. I think the ghost one is the most powerful, though I am not a big fan of the idea of summoning my pet and don't really like the aesthetics. I went with Hearth Orlan to continue the "critical hit" theme of the build.Ĭlass: Ascendant Cipher / Ranger (your choice of subclass or vanilla they can all work pretty well if played right. I think you would actually benefit quite a bit more from race that can wear a helm. Your late-game damage spells are helped by Power Level, but they already do enough damage without it. Whispers of Treason benefits only with a slightly increased duration, but you will already have a plenty long duration given your high accuracy and intelligence. I still need to confirm this, but I think ranger animal companions scale just on character level and your main ranger ability, marked prey, is not helped at all by it. Race: Nature Godlike is not actually that great this time because I don't think your ranger side benefits from Power Level very much. By doing this, you can just take passives instead on other levels and use all those ability points to max out your ranger passives (rangers have a ton of passives that they want). However, having too much focus is a good thing as an Ascendant providing even more reason to just stick with the level 1 whispers of treason. In POE1, I would use the more powerful charm spells later on just because I had more focus than I knew what to do with. I would rather have more charmed enemies than a single dominated one. I recommend saving them for last because of this and always keep one enemy not charmed.ģ) You will eventually get more powerful charm-like powers, but I am not sure they are ever worth the power cost.

If you look at similiar powers in other classes, they are all gained at a much higher level and have a much shorter duration.ġ) You can freely attack them they don't care at all, so feel free to do so when you have run out of non-charmed enemies to attack.Ģ) You will not gain focus from attacking your charmed allies. It was super powerful in the first game and it is even more powerful in this one. what is not to like? 20 second base duration charm, reasonable cast time, and the most powerful affliction in the game (charm/dominate), all at level 1.
This is good if you decide to use a low penetration, but high DPS weapon, like a hunting bow or blunderbuss.Īs for whispers of treason. Also, new in POE2, critical hits provide bonus penetration.
Accuracy is really important with spell-casting since grazes reduce duration by half and critical hits increase durations by 50%. Rangers have a ton of passive accuracy buffs that apply to both weapon attacks and your cipher powers. In order to make sure it never misses, and to provide yourself a bodyguard to delay enemies, you multi-class with ranger. The idea of this build is to take the super cost effective ability, whispers of treason, and use it to dominate the game from start to finish. I plan to use it more and find out if there are any hardships farther down the road. How good it is depends a bit on whether or not there are a lot of enemies immune to charm powers. I have not played past the tutorial area yet with this build, but it was pretty insane during that limited play time. I mentioned this build concept in another thread, but thought I would detail how it works as a class build.
