Who is the best at staying alive in Path of Exile 2.
Deciding which class you’re going to play with is one of the most difficult choices for new players.
First: the class damage potential.
Some classes may depend too much on gear and rare drops for you to reach their peak of power.
On the other hand, others can reach the endgame with the most basic build they have access to.
Just place the bell and you’re good to go!
Monk doesn’t require rare items to work.
All you need is to find a quarterstaff with good stats to make this class shine.
Right after Monk we have theWitch.
In third we have the other casting class, theSorceress.
Pretty easy to put together a strong build, although a more intense class to play than the Witch.
Mercenaryis in fourth but don’t underestimate this class.
With impressive numbers, it can wipe a whole screen of enemies almost instantaneously.
Unfortunately, Mercenary has only a couple of really strong builds, giving you fewer options than others.
And it takes some levels until you don’t need to worry about where you’re shooting grenades.
But when it goes boom, there are only a few who can stay alive.
The fifth class in our list is theRanger.
Don’t let this class’s position fool you.
The class found in the lowest position of our tier list is theWarrior.
There are powerful build options and solid ones to finish the campaign.
Even so, the real damage is usually hidden behind complicated, non-intuitive synergies between skills.
Warrior is themost simple class to play in the gamewith skills easy to use and be effective.
Most of them involve hitting enemies while slamming the ground with a large mace.
The Warrior’s kit comes with a considerable number of single-target skills and some area-of-effect abilities.
This is the class with the most explosive area-of-effect skills.
From walls of fire, and electrical floating globes to freezing orbs, Sorceress won’t let enemies escape.
Even all these positive aspects can compensate for theclass’s lack of mobility and fragility.
The fragile condition of the Sorceress makes it a more punitive class than the Warrior.
The capability of this class to cause damage is phenomenal, regardless of how many enemies they are facing.
Monk is a class, different from the previous two, that has a higher skill ceiling.
As a melee class, Monk requires that youstay close to enemies most of the timeto effectively damage them.
The class benefits from keeping a high ratio of hits to pressure enemies and not losing momentum.
This bow user is capable ofnever stopping walking to shoot an arrow, kiting enemies to their deaths.
You have a multitude of attacks to use against enemies and explore different weaknesses.
In other words, you should probably aim the arrow while walking and worry about hitting enemies.
One issue players might have with this class is exactly what makes it strong, the minions.
Because all of them can die if they take too much damage, theWitch becomes extremely vulnerable.
Mercenary makes your dream come true and it does so in a very fun way.
All that is mixed with elemental damage, mobility and the capacity to stay away from danger.
The whole idea with this class is to create a combo of skills - which are skill shots!
- to burst enemies, which forces you to preload specific ammo before committing to effectively attack enemies.
The necessity of quickly using a determined sequence of skills might sound daunting for new players.
A high-skill ceiling must also compensate for its difficulty with something else beyond damage.
Good luck in Path of Exile 2!
