Picking a HC build for the new betrayal league

Hey guys :)

I am a rather new player, having only played in Abyss...

I am looking for ideas for a new HC build for the new betrayal league.
Things I would consider when choose a league starter for HC (in order of importance):


Tankiness (I SUCK AT MECHANICS, ...and softcore is for bots :)
Ability to generate currency (uberlab, mapping, bossing)
Cost of gear
Ease of leveling


What builds come to mind?
Can you share your thoughts?

I myself have considered RF jugg, UNDENIABLE jugg, THICC jugg, or maybe a SG necro og SRS necro :)

I greatly appreciate any response :)

Can post anything in detail cause im at work atm but i can suggest checking out Zizaran and Mathil's Youtube Channels.

They upload 1-3 Starter vids each league
PoE & F1 is Life. <3
Cast on death portal should be your build .
hey dud, 4 years old veteran HC player here.

I would recommend jugger if its ur first league in HC, all those end charges is just too strong.

But, there is other strong options as well:

Necromancers spectre/srs is usually a strong build. easy 7k hp and the minions tank enemys for you. With the new banner skills, necros it's definately being buffed in this patch/league ( despites nobody said it yet )

Champion is also a very good option. Permanent fortify with new passive changes looks holyyyy moly.

I would choose one of this 3 classes if I was a beginner in HC. Jugger, necro or Champion.

About build/skills I need to know what u want to play. :)

gl hf and welcome to real poe game ;p

My end, it justifies my means,
All I ever do is delay,
My every attempt to evade,
The end of the road
And my end....

Sounds good mate :)

Can you link any good tanky league starters for necro or champions?

Also, what is best for generating currency in a league start - uberlab og map or bossing?

This. Sunder JUGG into RF JUGG is very very comfy and safe.


This may seem a bit retarded....but are there any DETAILED leveling guides around for sunder? Like, what gems to use when, and so on and so forth?

Thanks :)

Yea I read about Hank :)

I cannot tell if it's a meme-build, or actually strong?
How would it fare compared to UNDENIABLE or THICC in regards to the criteria I value mentioned in my original post?

Thanks in advance :)
