Path of Exile 2's genius theorycrafters have already put together some wild builds, so we've plucked out a few of our favorites that you need to try

A Path of Exile 2 sorceress casting flaming skulls in a hellish landscape.

Path of Exile 2 hit early access last Friday, and although I'm sure it will be weeks or even months before the community hammers out the finely tuned killing machines that will form the top meta, we've got some early contenders. I spent most of my weekend tinkering around with a fire Chronomancer and learning to aim Ember Fusillades, but I took enough time to forage around the web and dig up a potent build for each class in case you're looking for something way better than my scuffed jank.

As a note, these are not full build guides, just a gentle nudge in the right direction. PoE2's character customization runs deep, and you'll want to tinker with it yourself or do more research to fully finish setting up your build of choice. A word of warning, though: Grinding Gear Games is going to be doing a lot of tinkering throughout early access, and the game's already been hit by nerfs, which will have an impact on some of these builds—though not to the point that they are no longer easy to recommend.
