New player looking for a investment worth build

i currently played these two builds
Essence drain trickster https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1976691
Tornado shot raider https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1041989

Essence drain was a bit slow and extremely squisy wihout the expensive gear i didnt play it that much

Tornado shot seems pretty fast and fun to play but i already started getting one shotted by rare t10 map bosses so i believe it needs a bit investment into expensive end game gear and im not sure if i should invest into it.

so what im looking for is:

A budget build which can run every content with decent gear and also worth investing into. Im thinking about this Ngamahu Cyclone Build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1819239

any help from experinced players will be appreciated

I'm not entirely sure, but you could try my build. I do a T12 map on about 50 chaos worth of gear (weapon, armor, rings, included), easy and stress free. Jumping face first into packs of like 15 mobs. And it's got pretty much double the damage of Ngamahu's Cyclone Build.

It's a bit of a slow, casual playstyle though. So, depends on whether you like that kinda thing.

thanks for the feedback i will take a look

I can recommend Ancestral Warchief totem marauder as super strong and 4c cheap build to start.
You can have insane power using only this 4 uniques and each one is 1c only:



You don't need chest armour AT ALL, you don't need 6L or 5L because this helmet is like 6L for insane 1c price. This is unarmed build so no need for any weapon.

Build guide is here, but I recommend some quite deep modifications:

- use Chieftain ascandancy ( Hinekora + Tukohama later )
- use The Bringer of Rain
- use The Great Old One as endgame choice

That changes makes build much more affordable, gives you leech from totem dmg and much more survivability.
