Build Guides and Layers of Defense – Path of Exile
For new players, finding correct Build Guides can be confusing. However, thanks to the effort of the Reddit poster scarydude6, you can get a grasp on how Path of Exile builds work. Here, you can find more information about his guide: Build Guides and Layers of Defense Overview.
When you look for builds as a new player, you may encounter bad or expensive builds. These builds will force you to use real-world money. Some builds are for a very specific niche as well. When it comes to reputable content creators, we recommend Zizaran, Mathil, Enki, and the likes.
Layers of Defense
When it comes to building a defense, we recommend sticking with one stat. Either build Life or Armor. For beginners, we do not recommend going Hybrid. To build defenses, you need to consider multiple factors like Health/ES, Health can make you last longer, but this is not enough to tank damage.
Next is Armor/Evasion Rating, which reduces incoming damage or allows you a chance to evade. It can block and suppress spells as well. Mechanical Abilities can increase your movement speed, allowing you to reposition from attacks.
Elemental Resistances, Chaos Resistance, Flasks, and Ailment Immunity can help increase your defense. Prioritize being immune to bleeding and Curse. Guard Skills, Pantheons, Ascendancy Points, and Passive Trees are important trees you need to learn and choose wisely according to your build.
Jewels, Anoints, and Catalysts can boost your stats, but top-tier items can be expensive for new players. Knowledge of the game and enough attack damage is also important when it comes to facing enemies. Learn the debuffs you may get when facing enemies and how to counter them.
Lastly, make sure to respect the game and choose a beginner-friendly guide to get the best gameplay experience!
