Viable build for 2handed sword
Hello folks, i'm new to POE, can someone suggest me a viable and cheap 2handed sword build please?
I don't really mind if 2handed sword builds are weaker, i just love this weapon and i'd like go for it. I did already searched for it on google but there are so many builds out there that it gets too confusing to understand which one i should go for. Thanks :) Last bumped on Jan 5, 2021, 8:29:28 PM

PoE Ninja is a decent resource for this kind of research:
https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds?time-machine=week-1&weapon=Two-Handed-Sword That's set to show week 1 (so roughly league start) of the current league, and it's filtered to show only 2H sword builds. (Left side allows you to filter...) You can see that it's heavily dominated by Cyclone for main skill, but there are others. I don't play 2H swords so I'll let someone else offer thoughts on most viable and cheap for a newbie. |

it will mainly be cyclone for 2h swords.
slams require mace/axe/staff for alot of the goodies. |

I have a very fun to play 2H sword build in Heist using Heavy strike and cleave. You can see it under my characters: Babajan_Sings. If you take a look and have any questions, pm me or find me in game.

Thank you very much for the enlightenment guys, now things begins to become more clear :P
I'll study better slayer-cyclone and juggernaut-heavy strike/cleave builds as you suggested and pick one of these two. I really appreciate your help ;) Cheers. |

If you are new to the game i would strongly advise to stay away from heavy strike/cleave sheningans for the beginning. Go with Cyclone, easy to build, easy to play and roundabout solid. The other 2 are skills that you can make work if you know what you are doing but nothing i'd advise for new players.

maybe flicker strike if you like that style.
