New Player - Done w/ Diablo (Good Starting Class?)

Hiya folks!

I've heard about PoE here and there, but have never really invested time into learning the game. I've always found it interesting and I'm somewhat drawn to the complexity -- and it's time to give it a shot!

With the announcement of Diablo Immortal for mobile, I'm just pretty done with the franchise at this point outside of casual use on my switch. I want to enjoy a new ARPG, and I'm hoping this is the one!

My preliminary research draws me to the Witch and Templar classes. Might anyone be able to recommend to me any builds that would help me get to max level and get me farming? Not sure if is called MF'ing here, but back in D2 that was the term we used.

In any regard, I'd appreciate any advice. On a side note, if anyone has any guild or clan that welcomes new players -- that'd be great too!

Thanks!

Awesome, thank you for this! Looking into it right now. Why a Juggernaut?
best build for starters is witch firestorm always easiest way to learn the game
The game hurts a lot like A LOT you will notice it further in the game entire point of juggernaut is to be as it's namesake aka a tank while providing susustainable DPS while being unkillable.

Since this is your first time this is the perfect opportunity for you to learn the game basically while having no issues and you goal is to try and do 100 hm? Well that's perfect for a jugg only way to die is if your undergeared or just plain bad at boss mechanics.

So in this case find a guide that's Molten strike

yea its usually THICC JUGG but have you seen a witch firestorm with kaoms heart!!!! whiches for EXTRA T H I C C

Hmmmm.... tough to choose between Witch & Jugg lol
Think I'm gonna go with Jugg.. they seem pretty cool!
If you want to avoid early frustration, change your goals a little:

1st character to lvl 95. And explore the whole game content.

There are people who play this game since 2013 and haven´t reached lvl 100 with a character, yet. Just saying.
First off, welcom to the POE family.

After DI anbnouncement I will spend more time here too and support this amazing dev team here more than ever. :D

If you look for builds I can recommend you some YT channels:

https://www.youtube.com/user/ZiggyDStarcraft/videos (also great beginner guides here)

https://pathofexilegems.com/3-4-20-best-starter-builds-for-path-of-exile-delve/ (a good website for written build guides)

And ofc when you scroll down in the forum you can find different builds when you click on a class.

Have fun finding you favorite build. (It always take me 3-4 days to find mine before a new league, so dont worry if it takes longer. ;) )

If you have more question feel free to ask in the forum, its a nice & friendly community here.

PS: I can recommend you this build for the beginning...its fast, its tanky, good clearspeed, do insane Boss DMG, its cheap and perfect to learn the game and its mechanics. ;)
