However, Grinding Gear Games has said that more classes will be held during the planned six-month period.
It can start slowly in the early game but ramps up quickly as higher-level skills are unlocked.
This class greatly benefits from the new dodgeball mechanic, giving it more mobility than its predecessor.
This mechanic is also one of many that have madePoE 2feel like a soulslike game.
Weapons are a bit more versatile, depending on the desired playstyle.
Generally,Scepters are required as they will be the only way to summon minions.
Scepters are, therefore, paired with Wands for more offensive builds or shields for defensive builds.
Pain Offering massively buffs minions around it and is best used on the regular Skeleton Warriors summoned by Scepters.
Detonate Dead is a handy bonus to explode all the corpses the minions will leave.

Secondly, though it has been nerfed slightly, chaos damage is still a helpful alternative.
Profane Ritual causes corpses to become circles of chaos damage over time.
Meanwhile, Dark Effigy is a placeable turret/totem that attacks anything inflicted with a chaos debuff.

With Chaos builds, the passive skill tree goes a bit more erratic.
Regardless of the build, Grim Feast is necessary for surviving.
The burning minions build uses this andRaging Spirits from the elemental path.
The latterwill summon small fire skulls from the Flame Wall ability to attack any enemies in range before expiring.
Since Witches also use Spirit to summon Minions, maxing out Spirit with equipment is essential.
Withered increases the damage chaos skills will do to those infected, which works well with the Despair skill.

The best option by far is the Infernalist.
This class is focused on fire damage and buffing spell damage.
Bloodmage is the weaker option of the two but has some potential.

Its abilities revolve around losing health and defenses to boost the overall damage to all skills.
Despite her slow start, the Witch makes up for it by becoming a strong choice inPoE 2.
Trying to do something else with Witches weakens the minions or takes them away entirely.
At that point, it would be better off to play another class.
Building the best Witch properly inPath of Exile 2gives you a fun and powerful character.
