This would've saved me so much time and confusion a few years ago. I tried one of "PoE Build's" Tornado Shot League Starters and as a scrub following a crap guide I couldn't get past Blood Aqueducts.

[@iBarnyy]

As someone who started few leagues ago i can confirm that i had problems continuing certain builds from certain places ( sometimes even making them work or doubt how some of the stuff are even possible ). Now i sometimes watch different *league start* videos just to decide on what skills to play, but following a guide of someone i can trust. To be honest so far i havent used maxroll that much, but did that last league and everything was smooth af.

[@myvideo686]

Phoenix is another example of clickbaity build that doesn't even have a build progression. You see league start ssf viable on the thumbnail with these insane number, but then the build in the video costs like 50-100 div

[@nadiayorc]

got baited by his 200m dps archmage build this league, sure it has a lot of damage but like 3k life and basically no defences other than mom and normal mana stacker stuff, respecced to ivory tower coc and doing much better

[@30763076]

I always like the more tanky builds. It has helped me personally seeking out more HC builds and seeking out what X build would want and how I can scale it for more dmg playing in SC. Since some items can be very pricy there or can't be dipped for survivability while it can in SC but atleast helps me getting the build running. Absolutely loved playing Guardian in tota.

[@CyclonDefinitiv]

There are also 2 other channels, where I don't remember the name, that just update the title to be the newest league and keep POB and video outdated, also using questionable high cost items in a league starter POB

[@adamtennant4936]

Fast AF is a fun channel as long as you know what you're looking at. The problem is that new players don't know what goes into them.

[@goldsmith8996]

As a new player, I love Maxroll!! Very easy process to follow 1-70. The progress tab, well bit overwhelming since I have no clue what some of the stuff is talking about, but trying to take it in piece by piece and its getting there! Was looking a POE Build channel build that looked fun and everything just didn't add up. Video said one thing, comment section said another. From the dmg/tankiness of the build to the prices of the gear!! Glad I found this video!!

[@kerfuritogonzales]

In Poe Builds vid I once pointed out some mistakes... well not mistakes, those were deliberate choices in a pob of a "bosser" frost blades trickster, that once corrected resulted in almost 80% reduction of dps. Comment got deleted in less than 20 seconds

[@Neriehem]

Ah, was there the classic: shock on ignite/freeze build set to 50%? :)

[@blank98]

When I was a complete noob I followed a poebuilds guide. It was horrible a experience. Leveling and maps. Never again I will say the videos are really well out together. Very easy to follow

[@8redbeat4]

I would say this to all who are seeking new builds to start with: 1. Find a build that align with what you like to do, if it is bossing find a build good at killing bosses not that has a great clear, and vice versa. 2. Find a build that scales with your budget, if league starter require expensive unique during the first few days of play, it is not a league starter. 3. Find a build that doesn't need crazy transition.. like you start with skill and the next day you have to change nearly half of your tree. 4. DOT builds scales easily and usually it is good for mapping and requires heavy investment for bossing ...

[@jerppazz4525]

bossing builds often require crazy transitions. also bossing is so far away that those builds are not a good choice for newbies. there is so much content to learn and do before you could even think of bossing, so picking such a build is a huge mistake.

[@VitchAndVorty]

A good starter build is the one that's normally used for bossing in most part. Otherwise, how can you pay for your other characters? That's the whole point of a starter build. @@jerppazz4525

[@Pjeyguden]

I think you have really stepped up in terms of content creation. Nice with timestamp boxes and gameplay in them and not just pob warrior like back in the day. This makes up for a fun watching and good learning curve. Can you please consider revisiting your maw of mischief build before 3.23 and update it for that league and update the leveling tree abit more?

[@rafaekgambee2543]

Can confirm maxroll has some of the best written guides for all ARPG games not only POE. Usually follow them and then tinket a few minor things for my preference.

[@SniffThisOne]

its a great sight my only issue is there is kinda a lack of builds on there, it would be awesome if there was a larger variety

[@danielcook8480]

Another thing i would suggest and while it might be harder for new players practicing your league start can help with determine if you have a decent enough build to start with and also practice going through the acts will help you for future reference .

[@lukaszslubowski8873]

I learned a hard lesson from pob builds 4 years ago. It was my first league 3.10 Started with their freezing pulse assassin. Turned uot you have no defences at all and are relaying on vaal grace to save you, not even regular grace. After dying a lot in mid maps I gave up. Next league I olayed cyclone champ from reputable creator and difference was massive.

[@TheTanelChannel]

Great video as always Tri :) gl in the league, gonna be HELLA interesting

[@huskycal2367]

Amazing video my guy, greatly appreciate the insight! I never sub after 1 video but you defo deserve it. Looking forward to watching more of your content!

[@Aeqstaw]

I wouldn't really send a new player to the forums anymore, I usually just send my friends to [reputable content creator]'s videos and they've been usually happy.

[@YoungOneJim]

This is some damn good advice, I played poe a lot back in 2019 on PS4 and had a decent grasp of the game, returning recently I ran some starter builds and was having some struggles with gear upgrades, in NYX's private league I've been runnin WOC Ele from maxroll and in that environment all of the crafting guides and info on the maxroll has made everything so much smoother

[@MrAw3sum]

I love Fast AF. It's not for noobs but it's just fun to watch the insanity of those game breaking clear or melting bosses in 2 seconds videos

[@Arthrexx]

Yeah, as far as I know they also don't advertise their builds as being noob friendly, so there is that as well

[@Sindrolik]

Yeah I don't understand the slander towards Fast AF here, that channel doesn't claim to be noob friendly afaik.

[@billyturner9930]

Thanks for this. I end up helping so many new players and half the time its path of exile builds. Phoenix is another one that baits in so many new players. My favorite is when you NEED a kalandras touch and a mirror tier double influence ring.

[@TheSilverwing999]

As a newish player my very first tip is for other new players to go for tankier builds. When I started doing that that's when I actually made it to maps the first time. I know that the damage of squishier builds is super tempting, but it's just not practical or good for learning mechanics. I rage quit on lightning arrow (and I know that's considered an easy build, but i just kept dying over and over on it). I had a lot of success on boneshatter. Could tank a lot of things. Basically it's way better to go for a build that doesn't punish mistakes as hard, one where you can be slightly low on ress and still make it through acts for example. Or ones where you can get hit a few times. So I'm glad that you included this tip in the video!

[@EpicPureGamer]

[@aqua_ente6254]

besides the fact that fastaf has no build guides it has nice and fun builds. almost every league i try one of their builds and its very fun

[@oopomopoo]

Something incredibly important most people just refuse to accept is that sometimes, it's not the build; it's your playstyle. I have had many elaguestarrs from good creators that I ended up hating and feeling like it was awful. Subtractem frostblink build, a few of zizz' and another one I can't remember. These are objectively good builds and loved by many, but I hated every second fo it. I felt everything was off. The thing is, I'm an old man with bad reflexes and bad eyesight. I stand in fire for 2 seconds before realizing it. I need to understand who the person I'm getting a build from. If the person is tyty, he's not going to have suitable defense for my personal needs because he has an exceptionally high skill level and can probably solo Uber elder without getting hit so his builds are fit to his playstyle, as an mlg pro. (I don't think tyty makes builds but you get the point) Knowing yourself and your weaknesses is the first step to finding a good build and avoiding improper "bait" claims. A build can be amazing but just isn't your style, and that's perfectly okay.

[@TripolarBear]

Yea this is a really good point and why I brought up the tanky build stuff. You just gotta learn what build suits your style of play

[@VitchAndVorty]

Subtractem's builds require you to have 20 fingers and a 17 year old martial artist reflexes.

[@godspeedhero3671]

As someone who is a new player and just finished leveling with Splitting Steel and building into it, it is ROUGH using an endgame build as a leveling build. It started working out eventually, but I'm in the 80s and still trying to round out the last few pieces. Spending divine orbs on a Saviour is PAINFUL as a new player but it had to be done.

[@akian7686]

I mean... Fast AF is for me only content creator who just shows how a 10 mirror worth build work. I know that you can do the same thing with 100 div budget after many changes in build and items but still I like watching him just for fun :D

[@KingJerbear]

I usually play SSF, but even if I was playing trade league, I think it's a safe bet to go for "SSF friendly" builds for new players. These are generally less reliant on specific items and scale higher just from gem and character levels.

[@s.e.3974]

Not sure If that matters too much for trade. Just reminding towards the cf swap to daggers this league. People will always know how to maximize profit out of shitty items if it just happens that a streamer dare to mention them. I think new players will always buy whatever is written in the guide and it doesnt matter too much if its a skyrocketed shitty rare or legendary. Also new player will usually not upgrade their gear by crafting themselves in the beginning, so searching for rares might become even more expensive than just sticking to cheap legs.

[@KingJerbear]

@@s.e.3974 It matters for new players, because they have extremely limited currency and there's no telling what random unique will happen to skyrocket from a KZbin video sometimes

[@miramichi30]

@@KingJerbear Any tier 3 unique will be reasonable after a week. When I was new, I liked builds that used uniques. Especially unique weapons like quill rain, dark scorn, or cane of unravelling (before they gutted chaos dot). Try to craft rare weapons is confusing when you're new, and buying them is very expensive.

[@LoyalNightmare420]

@@miramichi30 lol this is me i would love a build with only uniques

[@andrew5207]

I always recommend new players to do the zoomancer build with ARC as additional damage till they get to maps. Minions is the best for new players, it has almost no gear requirement and it's a great way to get a feel for the game and start to understand how support gems work. Even with just 3-links you are viable for a long time. With the new spectres available the build has become very powerful. If your in a guild of super-players, ask them what builds they are playing and do their build. That way you can get their hand-me-down gear for free.

Never gave the seal of approval to max roll because the Lost Ark section was always a mess till this day, but gotta admit that the PoE section is on point (as far as what I saw). Also, thanks for calling out the RMT scums.

[@jammuu]

Great video thank you!

[@quack3891]

Honestly yea on all fronts, I like looking at fast af builds mostly just to get an end-game showcase of an archetype. It's not to be taken as a noob friendly build. Path of Exile Builds is also pretty anti-noob, since you have to pay for a build that isn't really that great either. There's also showcase ideas that I love to look at, but there's also the parallel which are builds that perform very well already that don't mesh with a style. Fire DOT for instance is pretty hard to start off in campaigns, or cold dot for instance is confusing to use if you're new and not used to it. And then there's some other builds which some players won't like, SRS guardian is pretty noob-friendly and basically doesn't care about anything but suffers heavily from it being SRS and minions.

[@kadenmetzger3006]

I can’t believe this is actually getting upvoted. Phoenix literally states in his videos that his builds are for STANDARD and utilizing LEGACY gear/flasks/jewels etc. His legacy Facebreakers Berserker showcase/build was incredible and was the reason I got into playing Berserker builds in league.

[@eshannumin]

The fastaf needs a big asterisk. I have played several of their builds before I made my first 100 divines in a lague and it was great. They are pretty clear imo if the build is for noob or not and the 1 div is for mid / late league rerolls to try something new for cheap. They are not for 100% newby players, but their builds work like a charm / as advertised.

[@Arrythmic798]

Also high defences for new players is mandatory for learning league/boss mechanics, you need to survive to get the grip.

[@Odinataa]

When I first started poe waaaay back, I was using poe builds and kept getting stuck on t1 maps and was not enjoying the game. This was happening for the first two leagues I played. Finally tried something else, I think a build from Mathil actually I really enjoyed and after that I started using the forums for a couple of builds and then finally started making my own builds and have done endgame multiple leagues now. I swear POE builds is the first channel that pops up when you search for builds, all my friends find that channel and I steer them away from it straight away lol

[@ibrahimelmhadri6576]

After years theorycrafting on other games, I think I am ready to do the same on PoE. The thing is that's is so true. Some builds are super cool to play and very efficient BUT may not fit to some criteria. People wants to have more or less mitigation on their build for example. And it comes at a cost. A cost that some people aren't willing to make. My personal choice is it's OK to not have the BEST damage if I can play without dying every map because of some bad RNG or bad map mods. Some people may don't care about dying a lot and go to the glass cannon route.

They advertised it as "12 div and you have perfect gear and basically can do endgame bossing but you are a bit squishy". Lo and behold, I felt that I have no dmg and die in 1 hit, I pull up their pob to look at the gear and the quiver alone costs 60div, so after investing over 100 div rn, the build feels pretty decent.

shoutout to Palsteron and maxroll for their good builds, I followed 3-4 of their guides and have not been disappointed. When i was new i definitely got baited into following "Path of Exile Builds" builds and they almost never worked and i could absolutely not understand why. Big bait channel. I would argue Fast AF is not as bad because usually it just showcases builds on a very high budget

[@williamdafoe3567]

I fell into that trap after I came back to the game after a 5 years break. I had pretty much forgotten everything, looked for a fast clear build, of course LA/MA was the first thing mentioned on the search engine. Picked one and started hitting those death walls every ten levels. Got mad, deleted the character, more so because I can't stand the ranger "menz-r-bad" lezbo dialogue, but also because the build pathing was shit. Eventually went back to a LA/MA build, master volume 0, and picked my own skills. At one point I was still running around with 30 unspent skill points and gear that was 40 levels outdated with basically just a Karui Ward as the only "hard-to-get" item for early levels. The build worked well without it anyway, but I still used it. I didn't even have a Hyrri's Bite because I had no clue that vendor recipe even existed. Was in my 80's before my LA trashcan build started getting hard to deal with and I had to actually start planning my gear out. By then I had amassed plenty of currency from spamming easy heists. Moral of the story: Build guides are dogshit. Do your own build. If it doesn't work, orbs of regret are a thing.

1st character was a bleed cyclone from PoE builds that looked cool. I was stuck at yellow maps with a few div invested and had no other solution but to reroll into a real league starter build.

[@assssss3661]

Same shit happened with me and a templar

[@olderjames9970]

The absolute best example of 1div build that is gonna send new players to mental facility, is flicker. You will pluck your hair out of the head, knit it and make yourself a hat that some grandmas do. Love the fact, that you talk about how shit they are. I played for 3 leagues now and best shit I played was Ts and if not for Tuna and a lot of his pobs and videos, I wouldn’t know for the love of God how to upgrade it. Love the content man

[@ntma]

eh, you can probably make a decent oro's flicker for 2-3 if you know what you're doing. oros, yoke, polaric devastation + life/res gear should be good to do 16s. the one I have is around that gear level. shock on yoke carries you if you hit hard enough tbh

[@goldenhate6649]

But we are talking new players, Flicker is squish initially, you need to know what bosses to be careful around while leveling etc. starting a new flicker is always a RIP fest until you have gear.

[@carloseduardo-fo1rq]

You need to be very experienced on how flicker strike works to make a cheap flicker, even myself that did one with 7 mirrors would struggle to make one that could do any damage with less than 20-30 div (for me, on flicker build it's mandatory to have atleast farrul + some good cold dmg scale like paradoxica + cold per frenzy rings + abysus)

[@olderjames9970]

Of course, if you know what to do, you can make some money later to upgrade it, you can make like 1 or few div version work, but it’s sold as good for one div. If a new player gets baited by this, he will have a problem because he will die a lot. Thanks for the feedback guys

[@myvideo686]

League start flicker strike without a lot of game knowledge is pain. Speaking from experience

[@mylesmiller5979]

How do i know what a tanky build looks like? Other than like 5k+hp maxed res and high armor/evasion what am i looking for/how do i knoe?

[@brandonkruse6412]

Offense = Defense. Move fast, wide screen clear coverage. Evasion + Blind is fantastic. The best defense is paying attention to your map modifiers and making sure you can run the map. Like watching out for elemental reflect if you have any amount of ele damage and aura effect reduction if you rely on aura for damage and defense.

[@coffeeknight2353]

PoE Builds ruined my first 3 or so leagues when I tryed the game many years ago

[@Milkybk_]

He's him. Good job TPB

[@darrellsongy309]

FAF is bait Af but the videos are so much fun to watch. Thanks for all the work you guys put in over at Maxroll

[@kadenmetzger3006]

literally!!! when i was new i used to try and follow the 1 exalt builds lol. eventually i learned tho and now i just watch for fun

[@lordvaldus839]

FAF is a channel for top 1% to have a build to waste currency on for fun.

[@lycanig]

In Brazil we call this chanel (PoeBuilds) as "Probidão" (sounds like "forbidden") LOL

[@alekappleton7912]

subbed, so real for this lol

[@kaylemain2006]

FINALLY somebody in the community calls those bullshitters like PoE Builds. Those people always pop up first in the algorythmn and it's so cringe because every fucking build there is either a meme or something they copied and made worse. It's SO BAD. Feel bad for new players that land there looking for a guide.
