EQUIPMENT
The best equipment you can use will be unique items at a early stage! While you are levelling up this items will level up with you increasing their stats according with your level.
All the uniques I am using at this current time can be found in the market for less then 1 exalted.
CHARM
The best choice here is
Thawing Charm since freeze is the worse nightmare of every player.
BODY ARMOR
Everything that give you armour and evasion will be good, in this build I don't want to rely 100% on armour because armour will only reduce the damage you take while evasion will dodge the damage which can save your life in several situations.
Belly of the Beast is a really good unique! Besides providing you maximum life and increased armour and invasion also gives you recovery from flasks being INSTANT! This is amazing if you suddenly your life drops you can just press on your life flask and get all your hp full again.
WEAPON
For weapons you have several options but you basically you want to use the one that is doing more damage! You can go dual wield with two one hand weapons or two hand weapon .
Brain Rattler is an amazing option providing you tons of damage or
Brynhand's Mark with
Frostbreath this two together will provide double stun build-up increasing the chance to stun a enemy and also freeze them, it is a great combo!
This are amazing options but you can go with any good weapon you can find.
AMULET
For amulet you want to find something that improves your maximum life, strength, spirit and also resistances.
RINGS
Rings will provide you with extra damage and resistances. Any ring that can provide something like "adds # to # damage to attacks no matter if it's physical, lightning or cold will increase your damage of course ideally you want physical. Rings are also on of the items you want to look for some resistances.
BELT
Any belt that can provide you more resistances and maximum life is perfect. You can also go for
Midnight Braid that gives all elemental resistances and 50% damage take recouped as mana, providing you some more mana while taking damage.
GLOVES
On gloves will be good to get anything that adds damage to attacks and gaining mana per enemy killed to provide some mana sustain.
Deathblow are amazing besides providing increases armour and evasion they also give you mana and life per enemy killed and culling strike!
BOOTS
The main stat you want on your boots is movement speed! Movement speed is extremely important in POE 2 not just because will provide you more speed to travel over all maps but also will help against some monsters or boss mechanics. Besides that you want some armour and evasion, attributes and resistances.
Bushwhack are really good they can provide a good amount of movement speed at early stages of the game.
HELMET
Anything you find with atributes, evasion and energy shield as well resistances will be good. But
Erian's Cobble it is an amazing unique to level up providing you with a bit of every stat!
JEWELS
You don't need to worry about jewels until cruel difficulty since this passive nodes will be a bit far away to get there.
