Path of Exile 2: 11 Tips to make A1-A3 feel smooth as WitchHunter
Day 1 in the books, I have about 12 hours played and am level 40 in the middle of A3. Game is hard, no doubt. I have yet to hear of any class have an easy go of it, so I’ll add what made the campaign better for me personally.
I have been keeping the Mobalytics site updated hourly, follow along here: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/frostferno-witch-hunter-fearless-dumbo

Do we pivot to full Lightning? It's felt really good in campaign. Plasma Burst… wow.
I'm almost cruel act 2.. lvl 50 and i have found only 2 extra links and the 1st one i put on a skill im not using anymore lol, this is rough out here
also the glacial bolt is amazing for things like the trials. it puts up 2 ice walls that draws aggro and you can support it to continuously add freeze / gives you time to load up gas clouds, it helped me save my honor in trial of sek and I was able to complete trial of corruption around lvl 40, when the elevators lower you can pre wall the mobs in and just drop a couple gas clouds and nuke them
its amazing how a couple pieces of gear make big changes. I felt like i was barely hurting last boss of act 3. my grenades said 843 dps so I crafted a new weapon and a chaos resist ring with good rolls and i went up 500 dps. boss dropped another 200 dps ring. cruel act 1 the vendor has a boss bombarder blue xbow with 102% phys and my dps went from 843 act 3 to 2000 cruel 1 lol. I crafted it with flat lightning, cold, +3 to skills, socketed more elemental dmg and i flew through cruel 1
on your guide you take wind dancer. I have clarity with it. any other support skills that go well with it? I took Blind with it and it seems pretty good but not sure if a better option. Also note. I have a +3 to projectile skills and was starving for mana, I put font of mana on my ballista and its made a huge difference
Hello i got galvanic shards + herald of thunder all activatedwith sockets , but for some reason it doesn't look like your AOE when I am killing its missing " white circle" when u kill mobs , can someone help? thx
I'm really struggling with azarian atm, not sure what i should be using…
Your witchhunter build also works great on console! Thanks for that!
Is there any reason to take Pierce over Chain support on Galvanic Shards? I have tested both, and I love the chain lightning shotgun style play.
This might sound stupid but Permafrost sups in the guide doesn't have the same support gems … am i missing something?
You seem to be one of the few people who's build actually check out and seem long term viable. Gj
I have to say this build is fantastic! The Galvanic Shards is fantastic! makes chain lightning feel like it should in a game. Great for AOE requirement instances like when your getting overwhelmed.
Great guide, thank you!
So, if get a gem that nullifies elemental dmg on supported skills does that mean it solely affects the skill its euqipped on or all skills?
Thank you for your build my guy, after struggling with warrior i'm breezing through the campaign now lol, feels pretty good
you guild is starting to be little confusing 😛 on what to use when and wher 😛 ..you need to make builds for act 1 to 3 then cruel 1 to 3 and so on hehe 😛 .. but its a nice guide hade no problem so fare kill bosses
Hey man, Act 3 we start getting jeweller's orbs. Have u been rocking 3 links all the way to lvl 40+ or did u add extra links? If so what are they.
Which ascension points to get and tree to fill in?
What was you're strat for the Ascendency trial? Can't seem to do enough dmg to the final boss and just run out of honour
NVM I got it after another good attempt (Just use High velo and thats pretty much it, I used perma frost when it got really uncomfy and then just used high velo)
what stat do you take in the nods wher it ask for str dex or int .. i been taking fuld dex only but im now missing str for som of my skills ..
on ur guide on mobalytics, could u show what you choose on the 5+ to any attribute on the passive tree?
i'm not using shots at all – just smashing gas / explo / flash granades – iam in the middle of act 3
Hi Fearless, ty very much for your build and what you doing one the game, I have just a question what ascendancy point did you take first just finish the first "lab" sanctum ? Don't really see what feet better for the start, I've taken the sorcery ward for the moment ? ty gl hf to you 🙂
having insane clear speed with gas grenade being detonated by explosive shot.. i dont even care about the poison, but the explosion multi on gas grenade is huge.. add more projectiles and second wind along with a damage mod like concentration, and start spamming poison gas nades and then fire a single explosive shot. a lot of bosses detonate the gas on themselves for you
Nice vid! Keep it up
I play this trash merceany…game is bugy, glitches and server issue. Marcenary solo is unplayble especialy when you go for ammo….Add in tips you play PARTY
I've been following your guide but planning to go Gemling, is that still fine? Also on that boss you showed, is freezing them/grenade no longer the way?
Great content man! Do you recomend this game for a casual like me?
Been following your build on the website loving it so much
have fcking 15fps gameplay on my 1050…. but I'm still trying to play this game…
Using your guide on mobalytics. Dumb question what is our main stat for the passive skill tree bonus? In other words where should we apply to +5 to?
For the +5 to any attribute, what do you choose? dex?
Stream?
hello bro! can u update ur link in guide?)
thanks! been following your guild im lvl 25 now , lemme tell you what its not been easy, but your guild has helped! i will say the reload is super annoying lol
Can you make a video for extreme beginners to POE 2. I'm talking super beginner, ya boy needs it.
Really enjoyed all your videos so far and really makes me happy to see other people coming up with similar thoughts/theorys as me as i'm still fairly new to PoE and ARPs makes me feel like i'm on the right track so to speak ahah. What i was wondering is if you'd thought about some way to of using Elemental Equilibrium to weave, Frost affliction through Permafrost or however to then provide fire exposure for ignite to then apply lightning exposure for plasma blast just something i was thinking about at a very very simpleton level thought i'd throw it out. Really enjoy the content i've seen so far looking forward to more
Holy crap I totally forgot to use the Salvage Bench
