Build Overview

Hey guys, I'm Lazy Exile, and this is my leveling guide for your Alt Character in PoE 2, the Third Edict.

Summary

What is Alt Leveling?

In an alt leveling guide, I assume you already have a high level characters with access to gold, support gem tier 5, currencies to purchase the required powerful unique item. This will give you the most player power throughout the campaign from Act 1 to the Interlude. Destroy everything with ease on any class.

What is the setup?

The setup with Hollow Palm Technique is CLASS AGNOSTIC. We'll stack + melee skill levels, scales that with the physical damage from Hollow Palm, and this allow us to scale our damage throughout the campaign, from the moment you pick up Hollow Palm, until the end of Interlude.

About the Huntress Variant

Being near Hollow Palm Technique make this one of the premium class to benefits from this leveling setup. You can swap in Act 1 or after Act 1 (at level 15), and enjoy a smooth power curve until the Interlude. The Huntress ascendancy allows you to run Ritualist with Unfurled Finger for an extra ring slot and therefore extra Levinstone for another +1 to Lightning Skill, which is very powerful.

Ascending is optional and you should not need to ascend at all.

Other Class Variant

Witch Variant

Sorcerer Variant

Monk Variant

Ranger Variant

Mercenary Variant

Warrior Variant

Disclaimer

  • This build is not intended for endgame content and is meant to take you through the campaign from level 1 to 65 only. This build uses a specific tree and will require you to respec later on to your build.
  • You'll also need some currency to get started because there are some required unique items in this build, and if you don't have it, expect the player's power to drop drastically.
  • Toward the end of the campaign, this build feel squishy, but you can very easily replace Foxshade and Meginord's Girdle with rare ES/Evasion Body Armour and rare Belt with resistances to make your character tankier
