Best starter build you have played?

Scion's a pretty bad starter too, for summoner the easiest one was SRS a while back, skellies might give it a run for it's money nowadays.

Take your pick, most of these will get you from start of the game to T10 maps on not much more than a 4-link and pure garbage gear, then can be scaled up to kill a reasonable amount of the end game or will have a specific farming purpose at least. Many of them will scale up to rediculously powerful builds with heavy investment, too. You can also re-purpose almost any of the characters into a better end-game build of the same ascendancy too once you save up enough chaos if that's what you want.

hey guys im new here to the game which character is the easiest to play
and what can you advice me in-game tips that i could benefit from for a newbie to POE | |
|
Ancestral Warchief Champion for me; tanky, does all content relatively cheap, scales well with investment, annihilates uber lab extremely fast (Was consistently getting the fastest non pathfinder clears for a while in bestiary when I was hard farming uber).
Have used as my league starter since bestiary and would absolutely recommend. Souls along a conduit of blood, from one vessel to the next.

I enjoy Whispering Ice and Oni Goroshi builds alot for starter. Whispering Ice doesnt realy shine before lvl 40 ish when you can use the staff (doh) but basicly everything is facetankable from then.
Oni goroshi requires some time to grind thw sword, but if you put in that time, you got a 6link at lvl 1, that you can go through all content with. Both items have various builds that are all pretty cheap to start and are totally and game viable. | |

RF totems used to be my go to.
Easy to gear, super safe, quick enough and allowed for easy day 1/2 Atziri farming. Pretty much been outclassed by arc totems for clear speed now though. | |

excellent thread with excellent suggestions...
its always great to see builds with one button click kill everything on screen style... XD 34pre98qua

I'm relatively new and only tried three builds. All considered cheap starter builds:
Arc Witch https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1147951 Elemental Hit Deadeye Ranger https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2166899 Caustic Arrow Raider Ranger https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2077932 Arc: It was my first build. I really liked it because it felt easy to play and beginner friendly. Nice damage, but I lacked a bit more tankiness. Though I didn't get all the necessary endgame gear, so I can't judge its full potential. Ele Hit: I hated this build. Almost immediately rerolled after trying it in maps. It's super squishy, and the philosophy behind it is that you have to kill everyting before it gets to you - otherwise you are dead. The damage is insane though. But I really didn't like the idea of being three shoted by white mobs. Caustic Arrow: My favorite of all three. Great AOE clear, high movement speed and pretty tanky (a lot of HP and high Evasion rating). The only downside is single target damage. Also it needs some levels for its potential to truly shine. | |

My choice would be Arc trapper saboteur, even after the nerf: everything is a breeze until at least yellow maps, with very minimal investment. Fun too imho.
