INSANE WARRIOR FIRE AOE Build ｜ Path of Exile 2 Best WARRIOR DPS⧸TANK Build (Level 30+)

Hello, welcome back to a new video.

So in today's video, I'm going to be

showing you a very high damage fire-based

AOE Warrior build in Path of Exile 2, and

it's going to be a leveling build for

around levels 25 to 35, so around the

mid-30s levels.

This is kind of build that I feel is very

good to leveling up very quickly and

destroying swarms of enemies which you'll

be surrounded by almost all the time in

Path of Exile 2.

So basically you're going to be using the

Shockwave Totem combined with Bone Shatter

when you get the proc and also buffing

yourself with Infernal Cry and using

Perfect Strike, which does insanely high

damage against single targets, which is

really good against certain bosses.

So as you can see, I'm fighting this boss

and I've got my fire debuffs on him, and

I'm just spamming Perfect Strike on him

and it's doing crazy damage, especially if

you put the upgrade gem onto it with

Execute.

You can get an extra 40% damage when they

are lower on health, so that's really good

against certain bosses to do some extra

damage when they're below 50%.

So the main gameplay loop of this build

and style of gameplay is basically you

want to put down a Shockwave Totem to

aggro the enemies.

And you see the little spinning yellow

orb, golden orb above their heads?

That means you can now do a Bone Shatter.

Now Bone Shatter is really cool because it

will also stun them but also do like an

AoE shockwave attack which can basically

one-shot nearly everything in the game as

long as it's not a boss or like a really

big mob.

So you want them to gather around the

Shockwave Totem, and then when you see a

little yellow orb appear above their head

means you can go in for a Bone Shatter.

You don't really want to be standing in

the midst of the crowd spamming your melee

attack because it's a bit dangerous, not

very safe.

And you want to do a Bone Shatter whenever

you can.

So anytime you see the little golden orb

float— floating above the head, you do a

Bone Shatter.

And you can also do an Infernal Cry, which

will set everything on fire around you.

Now I'm going to show you the skill tree

which will benefit from setting things on

fire.

So you can see you got like a little flame

circle hovering above the enemy or in the

center of the enemy.

That means you have now got your fire

debuff and they have been ignited.

You can now do bonus fire damage against

them plus Bone Shatter, which will do

bonus stun damage depending on your build.

So I'm going to show you the build now.

Okay, so here is the build.

So you want to start off on this bit and

you're going to max out your increased

melee damage.

And we just went for increased melee

damage, increased melee damage, max out

your melee damage obviously and increase

your stun damage.

And then also go for some armor so we're a

bit more tanky because we're going to be

taking a lot of hits.

We are kind of a glass cannon because

we're just focusing so much on damage, so

we do need some buffs from armor.

And then we also want to get increased

area effects for attacks.

That's really good because we're going to

be doing a lot of AOE attacks.

And more melee damage, more melee damage,

get 40% increased melee damage against

heavy stunned enemies.

That's going to make you do so much damage

against stunned enemies, it's so good.

And you want to get all these, just give

you more

damage basically.

And now this is the special one, you want

to get this one, uh, damage against

burning enemies.

You get 14% increased damage with hits

against burning enemies.

So a hit is basically any damage that

isn't damage over time is hit damage.

So basically Bone Shatter, melee attack,

Mace Strike, it's all going to be a hit.

So you just equip Infernal Cry.

I've got Infernal Cry down here and it's a

buff and it's going to set things on fire

around you, which makes them on fire or

burning, and then they'll give you 14%

increased damage against them.

You got 15% increased chance ignite,

another 15, another 15, another 14

increased damage.

So you got 28% hit damage increased damage

against burning enemies.

And this one, you get 12 physical damage

as extra fire damage.

Okay, so that's enough damage.

Um, I didn't go further south down here

because it's all basically armor stuff.

Armor, armor, armor, stun, stun, stun,

totem.

Oh, totem damage.

I might go for this next time because I do

rely on the totems quite a lot.

So if you want more totem emphasis, yeah,

you've got the totem buffs down here.

Oh look,

more totems.

Yeah, but anyway, I didn't go for that.

I went up here because up here you get,

uh, you get increased fire damage.

So yeah, we get strength, strength, 10%

increased fire damage, increased chance

ignites, and you get 15% increased fire

damage.

So basically it's fire, fire, fire, fire.

Increased damage to burning enemies and

ignition.

And then we're gonna go up here, up

strength, strength, strength, and

increased damage, increased critical hit

chance.

And I've got increased AoE area effects

for attacks.

So I'm gonna go get these when I get more

points.

I want to get more increased melee damage,

and I also want to get this one, Radial

Force.

It increases your area effects by 10%, 6%,

6%, 6% and just more crit damage and AoE

stuff, which is basically what I want to

go for with this build.

I want to go for AoE Bone Shatters, AoE

igniting and burning enemies.

And yeah, that's what I've got so far for

the passive skills.

And if we go over to the— where is it— the

skills or the gem slots, I don't know what

they're called in this game.

So for Mace Strike, I've gone for Ignition

and Fire Infusion.

Now, Fire Infusion is going to give you

25% damage as extra fire damage, and also

Ignition is going to give you 100% more

chance to ignite.

Basically, ignite is when it's an ailment

that deals fire damage over time.

Fire damage from hits contributes to both

chance ignite.

I can't be bothered to read all that.

I think you get what it means.

We're not going to really use Rolling

Slam.

It's not very useful for what we do.

Bone Shatter is the main thing that's

going to help you.

We put Brutality on this, it's going to

give you 35% more physical damage.

And we also put Impact Shockwave, so this

is going to create a shockwave and

aftershock when they have heavy stunned—

been heavy stunned— and deals the same

damage to enemies within 1.4 meters.

And we ignore that one, get Shockwave

Totem.

We put Overpower, cause 50% more stun

buildup, which will help you get those

Bone Shatter procs faster.

And, uh, 40% more area damage, which is

also pretty good.

Perfect Strike is what I use against high

health bosses that take a lot of damage to

defeat.

So this does a lot of damage, especially

with Execute.

So when they are low life, which is below

35%, you do 40% extra damage.

And this one has like a bleeding effect,

which is also kind of good.

And then the rest I ignore.

Infernal Cry, I use that quite often.

Use that to ignite enemies around you.

It's got a load of debuffs against burning

enemies.

And yeah, that's basically the build.

So we're gonna go and play the build now

to show you what it's like in real time.

So I'm in this dungeon area now.

So what you want to do is you want to put

down the Shockwave, let that— let's

actually go and find some enemies first so

I can show you how it works in real time.

Okay, so here's what you want to do when

you get a bunch of mobs.

You want to put down Shockwave,

let that aggro them.

Now you see the glowing orb thing?

That means you can do a Bone Shatter and

it'll do AOE Shockwave, which actually

blow them all up, which is pretty cool.

Now watch this, watch.

Put down Shockwave Totem.

Don't engage until you see the glowy orb.

Like, there's one here.

See, look, there's one.

So all you need is one.

It could be any mob, and he can be the

trigger for your AOE Shock Blast.

We've got Eternal Cry.

That'll give you bonus damage because

you're doing damage against burning

enemies.

And then these guys

knock him back.

Good thing about the totem is it can tank

as well.

And also you can do an earthquake as well

like that if you need more damage, because

that will slow them down and it will

explode like this and give you a glowing

orb.

Like that.

Oh, Cultist Great Hammer.

So yeah, Mace Strike is your last resort.

You don't really want to be using that too

much unless you have to and you can't get

a proc for whatever reason.

You really want to get a Bone Shatter proc

to one-shot them

like this.

See that?

Also, you want to get your heavy-hitting

two-handed mace.

I've got 35 to 72 damage.

On my 2-handed mace for maximum damage per

swing.

And yeah, that's basically how the build

works.

Do some pretty crazy damage.
