Path of Exile 2 will be punishing. Compared to PoE 1, participant characters are extra fragile. Monsters hit tougher, they usually’ve acquired motion collision—should you get cornered, you will get surrounded so totally that no quantity of dodge rolling will assist you. With this Titan construct devised by YouTuber Panzerfaust, nevertheless, there is a easy resolution to the onrushing hordes of skeletons and hyena demons: Just maintain them from shifting. Ever. Permanently. As lengthy as they keep inside like, a 30-foot radius, at the very least.
Unlike most Warrior builds that are likely to deal with smashing issues with hammers or summoning totems and spirits to smash issues with hammers for you, Panzerfaust’s Titan construct is extraordinarily mild on bludgeoning, as a substitute utilizing spells for many of its injury dealing. Rather, the Titan ascendancy offers the Hulking Form passive, which offers an enormous 50% enhance to the impact of all of the “small passive expertise” the character’s chosen on PoE 2’s sprawling ability tree.
While that Hulking Form enhance does not apply to most of the extra fascinating passive expertise on the tree, it does apply to most of the passive expertise Panzerfaust’s chosen that enhance the consequences of curses and cut back the time it takes for skills to activate. Then, by utilizing the Blasphemy ability gem to show the Temporal Chains curse spell into a continuing aura across the character, Panzerfaust is ready to consistently apply a -100% pace debuff to each enemy within the Titan’s neighborhood.
It takes funding, after all, requiring some endgame development and a selected uncommon glove stat that’ll price you a piece of foreign money if you wish to assemble the construct for your self. And it does not lock down bosses, but it surely stacks sufficient related passives to show the Detonate Dead ability right into a near-instant boss melter.
For map clearing, although, the outcomes are extraordinarily efficient.
Watch On
In a YouTube video showcasing the construct, you’ll be able to watch Panzerfaust march by way of crowded map hallways. As quickly because the Titan will get in vary, complete packs of enemies are rendered completely motionless and helpless, leaving Panzerfaust free to detonate them with Living Bomb and Frost Bomb spells.
While I doubt I’ll have it in me to recreate Panzerfaust’s construct for myself, I’m happy to see PoE 2 gamers are already capable of assemble builds that merely disable complete components of the sport. That’s Path of Exile, to me.
