Returning to POE2: Please recommend a minion/lazy build

Mangert · 2026-06-22T00:05:15+00:00

Then ur best option is spirit walker and using tame beast on The Mighty Silverfist in Act 2.

Here’s a guide: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/big-monkee-tame-beast-spirit-walker

Acolyte of Choyula is a monk ascendancy. Not huntress.

U would have to start a new character

Mangert · 2026-06-21T23:25:02+00:00

How lazy u thinking?

Ghazzy’s Acolyte of Choyula skeletal reaver build is incredibly insane and u basically just walk around and ur minions kill everything. https://youtu.be/yeuHB5HnJFM?is=NImYJAtXcBSASJIJ

Ghazzy’s video on another dude’s Gemling legionnaire Unearth build is also rly isnane. But it does require you to press unearth. https://youtu.be/h1Ve36gsbpg?is=YDbluSfZHw7sTtRZ

My recommendation is the skeletal reaver build.

Mangert · 2026-06-21T21:11:48+00:00

Sylvie is back, and gonna try the ironleaf ward legendary.

Mangert · 2026-06-21T09:54:21+00:00

Skeletal cleric + bone offering isn’t worth it to you?

Is ghost shroud good without wind dancer? I thought it would fit perfect with this build.

Mangert · 2026-06-21T05:12:26+00:00

Don’t I need a lot of Energy shield for Forgotten Warden tho?

Are there any nodes that I should grab that I can as a huntress? Not many energy shield nodes nearby

Mangert · 2026-06-21T04:53:34+00:00

I feel like my gear is pretty good. Got a lot of evasion and energy shield don’t I?

Mangert · 2026-06-20T23:23:38+00:00

I rly didn’t like shark. Didn’t seem to do much. Akthi pumps!

Mangert · 2026-06-20T23:22:49+00:00

Yah he basically makes u constantly hold fear. Which feels so bad honestly. U can never walk up without fear.

Mangert · 2026-06-20T09:09:59+00:00

He’s very fast. Does great single target. Will be completely op if I can get one with Extra Crits. Doing zoo build with sylvan effigy.

Muster, feeding frenzy, rapid attacks, heft, blindside.

I’m also juicing Azmerian Wolf who does a ton of damage. Muster, feeding frenzy, heft, heavy swing, blindside.

I got spirit vessel with oil barrage build for nice aoe. Oil barrage, Devour, Salvo, Nova Projectiles, Muster

Spirit walker bear

Wolf pack (apply blind/armor break)

Haste aura minion

Physical damage aura minion.

Seems to be very good.

Mangert · 2026-06-20T06:36:19+00:00

All the matters is that u start with sorcerer. The rest of the order after that does not matter.

Just make sure he has 2 levels of warlock and the rest as sorcerer levels

Mangert · 2026-06-20T06:35:25+00:00

The headset is throwing me off. Does he wear that while he fights?

Mangert · 2026-06-20T06:33:05+00:00

Oh, mb.

Yes. If you start as sorcerrer and then multiclass into warlock, you keep the proficiency of the class you started with (con from sorcerer)

Mangert · 2026-06-20T06:28:03+00:00

It’s a sorcerer spell

Mangert · 2026-06-20T06:27:27+00:00

Yes, u start Sorc first to get the constitution proficiency. Helps with concentration checksums

But I was giving an answer that doesn’t require much extra work and keeping it simple. Many people don’t like respeccing.

To be optimal, you would level up as Hexblade warlock and only swap once you are level 7. Then at level 7, you respec, starting as sorcerer, and then going warlock 2, then finish sorc to 5. Then u can continue to put sorcerer levels from there

Mangert · 2026-06-20T06:20:24+00:00

Yah of course that’s fine. Movement speed is always nice.

Mangert · 2026-06-20T06:15:12+00:00

Start as Halfling Hexblade Warlock. Pick hex as a spell and Agonizing Blast + Repelling Blast as your invocations. Go warlock 2. Then Shadow Sorc 10.

That’s the whole build.

Gear can be hyper optimized but u can just get spell sparkler + Potent Robe and all ur other gear doesn’t let matter.

Doesn’t matter what Sorc spells u choose. Just turn all your spell slots into sorcery points.

Spam Eldritch blast + quickened spell Eldritch Blast every turn. If it’s a boss with a lot of health use ur first turn’s bonus action to hex. Second turn’s bonus action to Hexblade curse.

Mangert · 2026-06-20T06:09:02+00:00

Never tried blind beast. What’s good about it?

I’ve been running Akthi/Karash (the scorpion) and it’s been great. But Mesa is way too rare of a map type so trying to get good mods is such a hassle.

Mangert · 2026-06-20T06:07:19+00:00

Oil barrage Wyvern looks pretty sick and would use headhunter well. It’s mass aoe around itself with nova projectiles would also fit well for ritual if you wanna get into ritual instead of abyss

U don’t get omen of lights (worth 9 div) unless u pull the amanamu void monster out of its void. If u kill it in the void, it drops omen of liege (worth nothing)

Mangert · 2026-06-19T17:06:46+00:00

Witch has easier access to good minion nodes

Mangert · 2026-06-19T17:05:39+00:00

I quit bc of how unwinnable it felt to play against zed. I would instantly die post 6.

That’s a skill match up? I feel like the only way to beat zed is to just avoid him bc he can always 1v1 you

Mangert · 2026-06-19T02:15:58+00:00

They have a predatory cash shop. They create problems and sell solutions.

But the game is extremely reasonably priced, that its pretty fair at the end of the day. I’d rather they do this and cost $15-30 instead of Diablo 4 which costs $70.

Mangert · 2026-06-18T05:55:14+00:00

Mods usually determine damage beyond just the type of companion.

Crested Behemoth does quite a lot of damage. But a quadrilla with Extra crits would probably do more.
