Disclaimer
Don’t expect full build guides here. This is more of a collection of (relatively) off-meta builds which, by definition, aren’t covered as much by streamers or on r/PathofExileBuilds. I find them interesting enough to try to play them, and others are intrigued enough to ask me for them, so I’ve put together a small archive of these.
That means while you can expect something that usually works on league start, and for which the gem, skill, and ascendancy interactions are usually worked out, there won’t usually be a clear itemisation path or a road map straight to Ubers. My usual benchmark is to hit roughly 1m DPS with about 30k+ EHP on nothing but rares with life and resistances, and then to wing it from there. I also usually have limited playtime each league, so I won’t have the time to min-max each build in game either.
Think of these builds more as suggestions and templates for you to experiment with and customise to your own liking. One thing that really isn’t mentioned much in build guides is how much personal idiosyncrasies factor into some of the choices or build directions. There is a surprisingly large amount of room to experiment with a build outside of its core mechanics.
