Path Of Exile 2 Warrior Build Skills And Equipment

We already have Path of Exile 2 builds for Sorceress, Mercenary, and Ranger, but those PoE 2 classes are generally ranged damage dealers, never quite getting their hands dirty. With the PoE 2 Warrior, however, you’ll be in the mix at all times – whether defending or maiming, however, is up to you. You can also check out our dedicated PoE 2 builds guide for even more tips

The Titan: A defensive qscendancy, the Titan focuses on crowd control and high defense. The Warbringer: An offensive ascendancy, the Warbringer boasts high melee damage and the ability to detonate fallen enemies.

The best PoE 2 Warrior build is: The Warrior class can also switch to a one-handed weapon and make use of a shield. When equipped with a shield, the Warrior has access to an active block ability which can be used to guard any front-facing damage for a short period.
Warriors can make expert use of the weapon set passive function, creating what is essentially two different builds whether you’re on the defensive or offensive. By utilizing the ability to switch between these instantaneously can make this class highly effective, and far more flexible than it may seem initially.

Path of Exile 2 Warrior ascendancies

There are two ascendancies for the Path of Exile 2 Warrior:

This Jagged Ground focused build prioritizes defense, making this one of the stronger builds for newcomers. Being up close and personal with bosses and hordes of angry foes means you’ll want to make sure you have the defenses to match. As a result, playing through the early game while keeping Earthquake and Shockwave Totem up – both skills you can use and then step away from – allows you to survive some harrowing fights.
When you reach the Cruel difficulty, you’ll want to make sure you use Leap Slam to get in and out of trouble when you’re being overwhelmed. Seismic Cry can help clear out mobs a bit quicker with the help of Rolling Slam, while Hammer of the Gods should be reserved for powerful Elite type enemies or bosses.

For our build, Scavenged Plating is integral to keeping ourselves alive, opting for nodes that grant extra armor from the passive skill tree, along with some thorns. Overwhelming Presence helps stun foes – especially bosses – so you can get damage in without getting too exhausted.

These notables focus mainly on granting you a greater chance to Stun foes while also providing some extra damage against them, which is currently the best way to build an offensive-minded Warrior. As you work your way up to Titanic and Skullcrusher, keep in mind that you should take some defensive skills like Honourless that increase your armor.

The Jade Heritage skill from the Warbringer Ascendancy absorbs a set amount of damage, which will greatly help you take on bosses, especially on the Cruel difficulty and in endgame farming. It also allows you to explode nearby corpses with Warcallers Bellow, helping you clean up the battlefield.

A lot of Warrior’s skills amount to hitting things very hard with a large object. Quite a lot of them cause AoE damage after a set period of time, dealing fire damage, increased stun buildup, or armor-breaking secondary effects.
