PATH OF EXILE 2 / CLASSES

Find your class.

Choose a class or Ascendancy to find matching Community builds, or start your own.

Choose a playstyle, then compare its Ascendancies. These are starting directions, not class-exclusive skill lists or complete builds. Check equipment and gem requirements before using an example.

Heavy melee · Strength

Warrior

Heavy slams, stun and armour. Suits players who prefer committed attacks and close-range control.

Before you choose

Leave yourself room to finish slow attacks; a shield and armour do not replace recovery.

EXAMPLE SKILLRolling Slam Two mace slams, with forward movement and stun buildup.
Ranged attacks · Dexterity

Ranger

Bow attacks, mobility and crowd control. Suits players who want to keep distance while attacking.

Before you choose

Plan a single-target option as well as clearing; keep your weapon damage current.

EXAMPLE SKILLLightning Arrow A bow hit releases lightning beams towards nearby enemies.
Minions & occult magic · Intelligence

Witch

Minions, chaos magic and bone spells. Suits players who enjoy an army or an occult casting setup.

Before you choose

Minion reservations and your own defences need separate checks; not every Witch uses minions.

EXAMPLE SKILLUnearth Bone spikes damage enemies and turn nearby corpses into temporary minions.
Elemental spells · Intelligence

Sorceress

Fire, cold and lightning spells. Suits players who want ranged casting and elemental control.

Before you choose

Check Mana sustain and cast windows before adding more spells or reservations.

EXAMPLE SKILLSpark Lightning projectiles travel along the ground until they hit or expire.
Crossbow combat · Strength / Dexterity

Mercenary

Crossbow ammunition and adaptable range. Suits players who like changing the shot to match the encounter.

Before you choose

Account for reloads and ammunition interactions instead of treating every shot as interchangeable.

EXAMPLE SKILLFragmentation Rounds Crossbow bolts fragment; frozen enemies and ice crystals enable additional explosions.
Mobile melee · Dexterity / Intelligence

Monk

Fast strikes, movement and combo finishers. Suits players who like building resources before a decisive attack.

Before you choose

Know how your build generates charges or Combo before relying on its finisher.

EXAMPLE SKILLFalling Thunder A quarterstaff slam consumes Power Charges to release lightning projectiles.
Hit & run · Dexterity

Huntress

Mobile spear attacks and primal combat. Suits players who want to alternate engagement and retreat.

Before you choose

Spear attacks can work differently at range and in melee; learn the timing of your chosen skill.

EXAMPLE SKILLExplosive Spear Throw a spear that lodges in terrain, then detonates.
Shapeshifting & spells · Strength / Intelligence

Druid

Animal forms and lasting nature spells. Suits players who enjoy combining transformations with battlefield effects.

Before you choose

Choose a coherent form-and-skill plan; check requirements when changing weapon sets.

EXAMPLE SKILLVolcano A lasting volcano throws molten projectiles; slamming it creates another spray.
